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

Finished Kameliadamen. The MC gets drunk every night at the beginning to drown out the reality of her life so maybe connect it to bottles (alcohol)? Or the coins, since she is a courtesan and lives by other people supporting her with money?

I will be reading Hulebjørnens Klan, Teardrop, The Ship of Brides (Norwegian version) and Den 5. bølgen next, not sure in which order.

Won't be able to finish mine before tonight, so if any body else is able; be my guest=)

Speaking of vague connections; I'm reading Kameliadamen at the moment, the woman it's about dies of tuberculosis. Could we connect it to X by saying she was marked (X) for death the minute she got the diagnosis?
Or that since she was a demimond/escort she slept with a X number of men?

Having checked Wikipedia, apparently there is a game called Bulls and Cows (I've never heard of it..."

I'd say as long as you have a logic explanation to the connection it's a go=)

I just read this booklet (was looking for books rated under 3 and stumbled upon this one) Authors vs. Goodreads. Anyone else read that? I'm kind of at a loss for words to describe what I'm feeling...not sure if I should be enraged, rolling on the floor laughing or say "hm, you do make a point there...".

Finished Star Witness

I think you'll like the second one too, it gives you a whole new perspective on the story!

I am actually unsure which of the series I like best...But I like the way the author throws unexpected turns at you when you least expect it.

Sarah J. Maas is one of my favourite authors, I really enjoy both the Throne of Glass and Court of Thorns and Roses- series. Considering to do a re-read of one or both=)

I'm currently reading Star Witness for the star task=)

Finished Nytt liv for stjålne drømmer, added to the bank.

I have a star option too, but need to finish another book for different challenge first...Whoever gets to it first I guess=)

I'd say it's a good enough connection.

Exactly what does "electronics" include? I have an antenna on a cover, as well as powercord posts...? Helicopter, airplane? Or just TV, phone, computer an such?

Tried to find a pattern based on the planning sheet and what people have said they can read or are already reading. Colors are simple, red=done, yellow=in progress, green=mentioned/not started.

I'd say we could go for Airplane, Tree or Barbell, depends on what bonus we want and if someone have books for missing squares=)

Have we decided on a patter for this bingo yet? =)

Råta could probably be used for the train since people travel between worlds in the book?

Currently reading What Happens in London , but can't find an obvious match on the Bingo sheet except N1, but Claire or Talia already have that one=)

Calendar Girl: Forført has the same colouring as the Phoenix/firebird, she is also given a housekey by a guy, so maybe B2 as well? This edition was also published 2016. Will probably finish tomorrow.

I suggest we use the bonus today, unless Claire thinks she can finish today=) With our luck, Travel will probably show up again on another card anyway.

Finished Råta, added to the bank=)
