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

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

If we want a minimal overlap, I am prepared (if not overjoyed about the fact) Lube Job. I've read books by them before and they are perfectly readable.

Yeah but a group with Holland, France and Austria is not one with clear way out for them.

Most memorable experience I've got of the Dutch team was being in Spain in 2010 when they were playing in the world cup final with a group of Dutch I was at the language school with. Bonkers night (especially since the ref was English).

Sorry. You should really have known better 😜"

Country out of a hat. Wouldn't have been my first choice.

Pretty sure Holland (which is a shame for me as I've got Poland in our work sweepstake).

Wonderful. I'm ready when that starts on Saturday

I have claimed the Night book, so you don't need to read that. :)"

OHHHHHHHHH, Okay, I'm still figuring this one out. lol So only ONE person reads a night book? Only one a..."

Yes, that's the plan. It's nice to have someone else who can access the book and read it in case life goes crazy for whoever has volunteered.

I can read:
A Cyclists guide to crime and croissants or A cyber affair

Both are genres I enjoy and are Kindle Unlimited which helps!

A Cyber Affair would be my preference.

Night
Night Shield

Are my options. Happy to read either or neither and can probably be back up depending what other people have put it.



With what other people have put in, are you able to start reading them in just over a week and get them finished within the week?

3 and 5. I have literally just finished one that works and lots of options coming up for 2 as well.

If it was started after 15 May, then it counts in the round you finish it, even if you are just reading the last 2 pages in the next round.

That's right Vicki.

Marty - Night of the Animals, The Night Sister, The Nightwalker work because Night is the start of the title (ignoring The). The others wouldn't because the night is further into the title.

There are no words Iin the dictionary starting ght and ight is an obscure old English word so titles with that are likely to be non-existent.

As I've said before, I have no problem with it being easy in the hopes they'll reciprocate.

It's dropped us to 3rd which isn't disastrous at all.

In other news District 9 are sending us Ancestral Night. It's my son's school fair today, but I'll look for options a bit later if we haven't chosen anything before.

Well done on round 1 everyone! We are currently 2nd which is fantastic!

Books for round 2 can be marked as finished now.

Amazing! Thanks Mel.

I've added them to the official sheet. I haven't done the BOM stuff but we will get to that later.

I need to answer the questions for Salt and Broom.

The Secret Life of Country Gentlemen is waiting on my shelf as is Catching Fire.

Please put all of it on round 2.

Please can you hold off until the 15th

Levi's politics put me off and tipped the balance. (see not entirely shallow and looks oriented!)
