Lynxie’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

So not happening Tanvi... I would probably pull out my hair or poke out my eyes before that happened.

368 is still a great effort :D

250... That is unattainable for me. 1500 is probably even unattainable.

I very quickly worked that one out Brenda. I only requested 12, I got 7, I've read 5 of those already so I'm not doing too badly, but it would be very easy to go overboard!

I think Net Galley will only be for special books, too many others I have to read already

It's huge and out of control, but I'd not change it for the world Sharon :D I intend to read every book on that list, now if I could only stop adding so I could catch up...

Woah!!! That's an epic cull there Brenda. Mine's back over 1600 again... I found NetGalley. 0_o

I agree, but to be honest I wasn't sure I'd get my other historical one read for this so I persevered. :)

Kathy's book sounds good.

The Chariots Slave Ancient Rome...

kinda not ok.

So glad you enjoy them Lynxie! But you've s..."

I have. I have been pushing myself really quite hard this last few months, with writing and NaNo, reading challenges, school and working full time, I'm due for a break. ;)

Knowing me, however, I'll still probably keep up the reading pace with the challengers. :)

Thanks Brenda, your challenges are awesome. I love doing them. As Phrynne said, that's why we keep coming back and doing it all again :D

I also use Wordpress, It's super easy to use and you can change the level of customisation you're after depending on your technical abilities. It's perfectly acceptable to just use one of the free templates and off you go.

Good luck with the blog Angela. :D

Well we'll see about that ability to write once NaNo is over, it could just be a big mess of words that don't make sense. Here's hoping it's not. :)

Congrats to all those who have finished their lists :D Keep reading for those who haven't, you're nearly there!

Thank you Elaine, and thanks Amber, you are correct. :)

NaNo is when I go slightly insane for the 30 days of November, case in point:
Less than 3,000 words behind target today - that's a little over 27,000 words written in 18 days. Phew! 12 days to go!

FINISHED!!! Yay! I swapped out my last book though. Ultimately, not the best run of books I've had, but there was still some beacons of awesomeness in there. So glad I got there too, NaNo is taking all my reading time from me. 0_o

Yay - Not Wisely but Too Well fits the Historical Fiction and then I'll add as many other books as I can from my TBR.

I'm not going anywhere yet... I want to see how things pan out first, and BL has a bit of a way to go to rival GR. It's a hurry up and wait scenario. :)

In the meantime, I can continue reading indie books and chatting to you all too :)
