Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I've finished and I'm halfway through

Finished and started . (Told you I wouldn't have much time to read while I was on vacation in Mississippi.)

Also started on my Nook.

I need to read Changeless one of these days. I read the first one a while back but I haven't gotten around to continuing with the series.

My Nook needed to be charged while I was at work, and I didn't grab a printed book to read while I was at work. Luckily, I work at a library, so found on the shelves and started reading during lunch. Put it back just before I left work because I know I have it here at home. So, I'm currently reading 3 books......which is something I hardly ever do.

Good montnig A-team

So here are the results so far:

TEAM A:1462
TEAM B:1492
TEAM C:1583
TEAM D:1386


I'm going to check our books in a bit, so these numbers will probably be updated in a couple of hours.

Happy readings

The Lorelei James series is fun!

The Lorelei..."

Yeah, it is so far :)

Finished up and loved it! Getting ready to start

I finished and starting

I started reading . It's going good but I have noticed some slight similarities to . However, the MC definitely has more spunk than Bella and the love interest is a hottie (in a bad boy kind of way).

I also started . I decided to skip the first two books (yikes!) for now because I've already seen the first two seasons of the show. I'm finding Davos's part a bit boring and Sansa's naiveté continues to irk me but they are growing on me with each chapter. Plus Sansa's new predicament is VERY interesting.

I haven't got any reading done this weekend. Maybe I can get some done tomorrow.

@ Sashana
I've had Obsidian on my shelf for a while. I've heard really mixed things about it, so I'll be interested to see what you think.

I need to read A Clash of Kings. I'm totally the opposite of you, heh. I'm refusing to watch any more of the show until I've read it, as I don't want the show to spoil me. And I keep putting it off, because it's just so long...

@ Joyce
Hope you like Daughter of Smoke & Bone! The sequel is even better, in my opinion.

I have no patience lol. I told myself that I wasn't going to watch the season 3 premiere but I lied! Season 3 covers the first half of book 3 so I should be okay. Do you intend to hold off on watching until you get to book 5? Or until the series is completed?

I also started reading

Just finished hate-reading ..I don't especially like this series but I can't stop reading it. I'm so weird.

Going with a YA palate cleanser next:

What's not to like about teenage steampunk spies?

@ Sashana
I haven't thought that far ahead... I think I'll read book two, watch season two, read books three and book four, watch season three, etc. I'm not sure, though.

I need to start reading those. And watching the show. :)

I read quite a few on vacation. Hopefully they will help our numbers! I will post them all in a bit. Still sorting out from being away!

So based off the last numbers that Sonia posted, we're 120-something books or so behind the leading team?

Steven wrote: "So based off the last numbers that Sonia posted, we're 120-something books or so behind the leading team?"

Correct! However, the numbers probably aren't accurate, as we have some members that aren't tagging books. Sonia and I will need to go through people's bookshelves and send out PMs whenever we validate books next (whenever we have time, basically), and hopefully that will help.

Thanks, Paperback Pixie. :)

I'm trying to read faster, but pretty much all the books on my to-read list are 500+ page books. X)

Then add some shorter books! :D Kidding. Just contribute what you can.

I know that feeling! The past month most of my books have been from A Song of Ice & Fire, and each book is about 1000 pages.

Those are on my list too. Le sigh. :)

They're so good, but I finally gave up. George RR Martin writes sooooo slow, and I found myself forgetting the convoluted details of the story while waiting for him to publish the next installment! I'm just waiting until they're all out and then starting from book 1 again!

Isn't he writing the last one now? I might have to so what you're doing. Haven't started them yet... Won't be a big deal to just wait! Haha

2 more, so we should be able to read them in 2027 lol

Just finished , really like this series so far.

Starting next and also started

Steven, wanted to let you know that I *did get approved for an advance copy of The King's Deception! Now I have to hurry and finish listening to The Jefferson Key so I can start King LOL It will be weird to read one of these, though; I usually listen to them, because I just LOVE Scott Brick's reading style :)

Ashley Marie, ... You're probably right. Sigh!!! But that's okay. I am planning on interspersing them in between other reads anyways, so might take me until then to finish the current ones, haha!

Barb, yay that's great!!! You can always go bak and listen to it again later! I've not listened to many audio books. They just don't read at my pace and take so long. I have used an audio book narration to supplement my reading of a few books recently, since I got my Kindle Fire HD and you can add professional narration to books you own. That way I can make progress on some books while I'm at work and can listen but not read. But it's hard to focus on the story like I want that way!

But yay for Steve Berry early! :) I love Cotton Malone!

I am reading and I am liking it so far

I am reading . It is said that this is the last book in the Infernal Devices series.
