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

I'm reading a couple of longer books now - 11/22/63 (600+) The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois (600+) orange!
and The Dark Forest (500-600)
The last one has an author with an x in his name, so maybe that'll come up again!

I finished Made in China: A Prisoner, an SOS Letter, and the Hidden Cost of America's Cheap Goods
That was brutal.
I don't think I want to buy anything ever again...
It is set in China.

Sounds good. I'm reading one for that task, but it's going slowly. I think you will finish sooner!!

I just finished the Mistborn Series....
I am so happy right now - not that it's finished, but at how good it was :)

I saw that one in my library. I'll have to get through the Stephen King book, and the one set in China first, but it looks interesting, like you said.

Hey Vicki! Did you like Force of Nature? I thought it was great. Jane Harper is one of my new favorite mystery writers. I LOVED The Lost Man

I've got one for China.

Sweet. I'm bailing on my book with a proper name in the title then!

Yes! I can do that. When are the questions due?

Very exciting! Vacations are the best.
Do you travel with ebooks or regular?

Oh - not fun! I hope she is recovering quickly.

Sounds interesting. I am always curious to understand where diseases start and how they travel. I'd like to know what you think of this one.

Oooooh! Murderbot in a novel!
I need to read the second in the series...

Pretty good! Thanks Jessica :) How are you?
The weather has cooled down here, which is nice.

Just finished The Beginning Place which was - interesting... beautiful writing. I will be thinking about it for a while.

Onto the chonker biography.

I don’t think so.

I'll do the complete name one - I'm reading a biography of Jim Thorpe.

I just got a PC (hp) - I've only had Chromebooks in the past. So if I tap with two fingers on my mouse pad while I'm in this box, there is an emoji option.
Does that work with yours?

Looking for some paranormal books as well as my U-s :)
