Sophie’s Comments (group member since Apr 28, 2013)

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

Last year I managed all but 1 of the books I had on my list from this - some of which had been on my tbr for about 10 years and I'd been avoiding for no discernible reason. Time to try again!

135 The Serpent's Tale
74 King of the Murgos 4*
45 Remember When
177 Lolita
274 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
32 Holy Sister
336 Letters from Father Christmas
231 The Remains of the Day
113 Something's Guava Give
242 To the Lighthouse

Hi Angela, you can make a start whenever you would like!

ch 8 "He was listening to the vicar with a look that teetered on the edge of impatience and boredom"

hubby had it on his kindle 😁"

Yay! Thank you Sammy and hubby.

I wouldn't count any of the characters in this as strong or powerful. All v flawed.

Started this prewheel and finished after. 3 month hiatus did it no favours.

Magpie murders has boredom in the text according to Google books but it doesn't give a page number and it's the last word of a sentence so they give me boredom. then the next sentence. I'm listening to the audio and don't have a way to get the actual number or the full sentence.

Not a bad ending to the series. Enjoyed it more than some of the other installments!"

That's the only one of the series I have left. Thank you for bumping it up my tbr


Think my resolution this year should be to either make progress on the many series I have on the go or to abandon them!

A year of team challenges can do that!

Judith gce the ok so that task is now solved.

Thank you!

"tagged ""heroine"" (5 or more times)"

For this task would the heroine being embedded in a large tag i.e strong-heroine be acceptable?

Complete with voices!

And I've added a load of kids books so target is officially met for the year!

Tagged heroine 5 times or more is frustrating. Slave to Sensation has tags for virgin-heroine, strong-heroine and kickass-heroine that meet the tag number.

I'm about to finish soulminder which will work for 4.

Having a debate with myself - I'm 16 books short of my reading goal this year. If I add the picture books I've read the kids I can easily meet it, but feels a bit like cheating!

Yay Carmen! Well done!

Cat - good work on the double checking

20 books in the year I think is a sensible target!

1. Magpie Murders 4/5
2. Second Chance Pass 4/5
3. How To Be A Liberal 4/5

Diary of a wimpy kid is a very good series.

If you haven't already tried them (and can get them in Hungary), we also enjoy reading the 13 storey treehouse series.

I've got 3 left. Can definitely get 1 of those read. 1 I'm not enthusiastic about and the last is an absolute chunkster so time might be against me.

Woohoo! Well done everyone!

It's been an absolute joy being on a team with you all.

Amazing thank you! Squeeze all those lovely points from every book!
