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

I can read but it does,’t give too much points

My road sign didn’t work, for the next letters, but I found another one and read it.

Ii can put my book A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on the U. It has a character that starts with U ‘Ser Uthor Underleaf‘. But it was put under A, but maybe A is easier to find.

I have one in my collection Roadmarks. I can read it, but maybe not for this round.

I always doubt as I read a lot in Dutch. If I come across a word that might be the right word, I lack an English edition to check.

I’m okay if someone takes the last place in the first story ladder. I can always find other open prompts.

I have completed the first title ladder. I hope to read them all this round, but not sure as I try to alternate between English and Dutch. Sadly, it’s one of the things I notice as I get older: it gets less easy to read in other but my native language.

Hi Claire,

No problem. I was unsure about the start. I was also thinking for the book task i could reread: The Paris Apartment and The Husband's Secret. Can I put it for yours then or start a second ladder? I’d read them in English as otherwise it wouldn’t count

I’ve added a book, but the title doesn’ t show up, although I added a link. Can someone have a look? Book: Het genootschap van onkenbare objecten

It's a good idea. :)

It is not popular in the Dutch speaking part neither. There are many books popular books I never heard of in Belgium and learned about here on GR.

I love the part in the performance where Ulay paid her an unexpected visit. Really moving scene.

Happy birthday to the birthday girls.

I will read my promised books and maybe two or three others.
They will be added in time and I will do my utmost best to put everything correct.
Sorry that I’ve read less than usual but my husband needed my assistence on a project.

Oh dear, my son had it as a baby and he was a few days very sick. Make sure he drinks enough water.
I hope he’ll be better very soon.

Thank you for fixing things. I was wondering if I did something wrong in entering it in the SS to avoid future mistakes.

Sorry, I didn’t express myself clearly.

I added the genre as it had not been chosen, but my book does not appear at the right place in the SS list of genres. That is why I wondered if I did something wrong.

I have two books with a genre that doesn’t appear in the genre list: Claudine op school en Notities voor John. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve seen one of the tasks has been take and I haven’t read my book it’s no problem, but I’d like to avoid this in the future.

Claire,

if you can read Six of ..."

Aah too bad. Didn’t think of that. And if it were a shorter book, I’d read it in English. If it is absolutely necessary, I can do it, but not in the first two.weeks.

As said I can read one of the books needed, but do we read it now? Or do I wait?
