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

Brings back so many good memories! Thanks for posting.

I'm wheely weddy for this one! Just checking in with my team...perfect name for me right now. I wonder how many younger people know of the Song Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes. Hmm...

Okay, thank you, Judy...one of my sisters is also named Judy :)

It appears that a lot of you are already lining up books. Are the tasks posted somewhere and I’ve missed them?

Is there also a penalty for under-reading?

Jackanory: Nonfiction book of a man who murders his parents in 1992 in Silver Spring, Maryland. He remembers doing it but has unsure recall and wonders if he imagined he did it. 10 or so days later he turns himself in to the police in Florida and is arrested and goes to court. He's put in Perkins Psychiatric Hospital for the mentally ill, so much of the story is about how the mentally ill were treated as well as Brian Brechtold's fight to be heard...he doesn't want to be force fed pills, for example. He plugs his ears at night due to all the noise, not because he's mental.

Jackanory: A woman was kidnapped in book 1. In this book (2) she feigns submission in hopes to get more "privileges" but she finds out has cameras on her in every part of the house he's allowing her to go in, including the bathroom. So his "acts of kindness" are not at all! He rapes her and is very evil in all of his actions towards her...huge cliffhanger!

I did? Thanks! :) Well, maybe that makes up for slacking in this challenge this month.

I've had a hellacious RL going on lately and haven't posted all my books though. I've read but just haven't had time to update and do all my reviews.

I will for sure. I got so behind on my reviews and when I looked at our list of what we needed on the SS I didn't think any of mine fit so didn't think we could use them. I'll probably not get to many of them until I'm back from vacation but should I still post books even if I don't have anyplace to post them for a task because most of our tasks are finished?

OK thanks :)

If no one else has claimed it, I'll do task #117 MPG Espionage and read Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy
