Erica’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I started late, but finished the first chapter before bed. This buddy read worked out perfect, this book has been on my to read list for a while and so far I like it.

Awesome! Thank you!

Do I need to wait to start until I'm paired with someone?

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread, but is there anything I need to do as far as signing up or to get credit for the Tower Teams Challenge for a buddy read? I did read through the instructions, but is this a little different because its an informal buddy read?

Hello! I'd like to join if I'm not too late. This is my first buddy read, so I'm excited!

Thank you!

Kristin I'd be interested in the Poison Study busy read

Audio makes everything better!

Sorry forgot to post on here too.

Snowtulip: it was interesting. It's not in my favorite list, but it was worth reading.

Finished: Dora: A Headcase with 240 pages for 20 points. And Invisible with 432 pages for 20 points.

V: I can see that.

Snowtulip: it took me a while to get into Audio Books too. My mom likes them and kept trying to get me into them too. She gave one to me for a road trip and I was hesitant because I thought it would make me drowsy. Quite the opposite.
I agree with V Audio Nerd, it's about picking the right book that you can still follow the story if your mind wanders.
I get mine from the library or the online library app my state has. Then I can listen to it on my phone when I get ready for work, in the car or doing stuff around the house.

Vicci Audio Nerd: I loved Code Name Verity! I loved it so much I bought a copy for my three best girlfriends. I read it and agree that one would be hard to listen to because you really need to pay attention to the details.

Haha wish I always received cheers for finishing a book.
We are off to a great start team!

Finished Breathers: A Zombie's Lament - 310 pages for 20 points.
