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

Keri, I think you’ll love it too.

Joanne, I assumed as much! It’s all good! And honestly it’s part of the fun since usually GR friends are on other teams! Lol

Steven, thanks for asking and yes I’m playing on Team Jealousy! You?

True that! LOL

Howdy and yes I did and I liked it a lot, but what I don't like is that now I can't read it. LOL Sorry if I was snooping and HELLO Team Ira!

Steven, you are the first person who helped me with Tower Teams last time and assured me that as we went along I'd understand. Thank you. :)

Yeah, that's why I said I wouldn't be able to count it because I read it only 3 months ago, but I'll find something else to do. LOL

Devann, I meant that because I already just read it in June I don’t think I can read it and have it count.

I read but that probably doesn't count.

I'm working on DQ's now, so I can finish them over the weekend before I leave for Cabo. I finished DQs for Day 1/Book 1.

DQs Day 1

1. We start with a bit of a bang. Did you have any first impressions of what was going on? Time travel? Parallel universe? Delusions? Something else?

I thought it would be a parallel univers and/or time travel.

2. What do you think having FMS is like? Why do you think it seems to be contagious, and how?

OMG! I'd be so confused! I'd hate to not know which memories are true and which are false. I know we have true memories that are blurred but to have absolute false memories woud suck. I wouldn't think it would be contagious. LOL I would think it would be viral so passed on via air/touch perhaps.

3. The main characters are both dealing with loss; Barry with his daughter, and Helena with her mother’s memories. How do you think what they have gone through is affecting their careers and their lives?

I'm sure it's affecting both their careers and lives negatively. Dealing with loss is not easy for anyone under any circumstances.

4. Why do you think Slade is going all in on funding Helena’s research? Something personal, or just financial?

I am conflicted about Slade. He's not one-dimensional for sure. But I think he might be doing what he's doing for both personal and financial reasons. It makes sense to me.

5. Is there a moment that you would go back to to start over? Share if you wish to.

I think we all are where we are for a reason, so I'm not sure I'd do that unless it was only to relive a moment. I'd love to go back in time to when my mom and dad were still alive and dancing for us kids again.

6. Lots of stuff happens in Book 1. What do you think so far? Any Ideas on what comes next?

I'm so not into sci-fi and what sci-fi I have read has mostly been light weight. LOL I have a hard time with parallel universes and time travel in general, but so far I'm okay after reading Book 1. So far this book hasn't been difficult and I'm not loving it but I do like it as in it's all right.

7. On a lighter note, would you prefer drinking Old Grand-Dad and Coors, or the ’47 Cheval Blanc?
And, did anyone else keep thinking of chipmunks when Helena was being mean to the mice?

I don't like beer, I don't like whiskey (or the smell of it) and I'm not a drinker unless I have a tropical drink when on vacation in Hawaii or Cabo San Lucas, so no. I'd not have drunk either. Chipmunks? Uh, no. Did I miss something?

I can read these if we can work them in the chain.

312 pages
342 pages
343
362
493
336 IF we can double dip since I'm reading it for DQ's.

I will be finishing these too by Friday:
328 pg.
465 pg.

I finished for the countdown but it has 390 pages so I guess it's not good for the countdown. :(

I'll have tomorrow but it's 599 pages. Darn it!

I like your thinking, Trinia. :)

Jill, if Jenny was going to be sick of anyone, it would be me! Lol She’s a saint and so patient! :)

Lol we’re crazy huh? Lol

I did books yesterday for the ladder. I’m doing one countdown book & the other tomorrow.

I got several books done today but I'm posting here and we can worry about the ladder later. I have to get to bed now so I can get up early to babysit.

Defending Morgan 282 pages
Second Grave on the Left 307 pages
Stone Cold Touch 464

I HATE not being able to use them for the spell-out. I also finally finished A Curse So Dark and Lonely today BUT I started it early September, misplaced my book, and found it 2 days ago so I finished it today. I don't think I can use it since I began it back then.

MODs I’m sorry. I meant I started the book the day before round 4 began but finished it the day round 4 started. I had begun the book for another challenge and then when I finished it and saw what we needed to do for the regeneration I wondered if I could use it for regeneration. We lost points in round three and we are making them up in around four. So since I started the book on the last night in round three and finished it on the first day of round four I wanted to know if I could use it as my first regeneration book or if the book I am reading for regeneration had to be started the day round four started or later. I hope that is more clear.
