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

On Wednesday I'll be leaving for a two week trip to South Korea, visiting a friend. I've tried to read as much as possible these past weeks, since I won't prioritize books while I'm away. That said, I'm still bringing at least four books to enjoy on the 14 hour flights:P

Fun if you like historical fiction and have an interest in the series "The Last Kingdom" on Netflix which is based on these books.

That's what I did all weekend, but coffee, not tea:P

I honestly have no clue, it's been ages since I saw any cartoons:P

Rating; 2 stars, not because it was bad, just not quite for me.

Sort of sad to be done with the last book, these were real good, gonna miss the Stagedive crew and their better halfs:P

I re-read my favourites quite often, which is why I prefer to own the books I especially like in stead of borrowing, so that I can enjoy them whenever I like=)

And, like Nairabell said, I often need to re-read previous book in a series when a new is published, since I don't always remember what happened.

My table looks like a bomb of clothes went off there, but luckily I live alone so no one can judge:P

Shannon wrote: "I haven't started that series yet but maybe this challenge will get me there. I've still got Empire of Storms sitting on my kindle mocking me. Lol! But I feel like I need to reread to remember what's going on first. I've got a terrible memory!!! "

That book has been sitting on my shelf for way too long! I did a re-read of the series when Queen of Shadows was published, but I'm starting to wonder if i need to do it again before reading Empire of Storms:P

According to GR, I'm way behind if I want to hit my normal reading average pet year, been a bit of a slump since Wobble, so I think this is just t..."

So far I'm ahead of schedule this year, but I tend to almost stop reading for some time after these challenges because I need to get back into real life, so the number even out after a while.

I stayed up till 3AM finishing ACOWAR this Saturday, couldn't put it down and at the end my pulse was way too high, just waiting to see what twist the next pages would contain!

I always end up reading more than usual when playing team challenges:P I also read a bit more right now since I'm visiting a friend in South Korea the last two weeks in May, and might not be able to do as much then=)

Have some of our teammates not checked in btw? I've lost control:P

Anne Bishop is one of my all-time favourite authors in fantasy (along with Sarah J Maas and others). I simply fell in love with the world she created in the Black Jewels triology and I liked Ephemera-triology as well=)

I got the pufferpig:P
