Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Finished another book - Obsession - really enjoyed this book, very hard to put down. Finished it in less than 24 hours. Looking forward to the next book in the series

Latest update

Team A - 879
Team B - 949
Team C - 957
Team D - 847

Just finished . It was terrible!! Definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks about the Red cover challenge! I hadn't realised I'd read that many red books in a week, looks like I'm getting back on track for reading again :)

I guess I don't understand this. I am new to Goodreads this year and am doing several of the challanges. I also make sure all the books I read are put on the Tower-team Shelf. Am I supposed to be doing something else?

I finished which was rather disappointing. The heroine is beyond whiny and has zero self-esteem which got irritating real fast especially since this whinyness lasted at least 150 pages.

I'm starting on since I'm ready for some murder and mayhem.

Phyllis, are you asking about the weekly color challenge? That is just a little team challenge; sort of a challenge within a challenge and you are NOT required to join, if you are in the main Tower Teams Reading Challenge. It is just for fun.

Otherwise, you are doing great with your reading; all your books read are showing (23), which puts you at 21% of your goal. As of today, February 18th, everyone should be at 13.4% of their goal, so you are well ahead of target.

If you have another question, please let me know. ☺

finished reading , will start

I finished which was a surprisingly enjoyable read. I have just started which I realized I can use as a purple cover book for this week!

Just a quick post to say I'm really proud of how everyone is doing in Team C. I'm really hopeful we can win the challenge. And even if we don't I hope everyone enjoys taking part and making some new friends. Lets keep up the brilliant work guys! :o)

Finished for my purple cover!

Well said! And I think the Team Captains are doing a great job too :)

Finished Don't Look Back by Lynette Eason earlier. Fantastic book! :)

Finished , meh. Starting on a shorter book that won't count for this because I'm getting really behind and uni starts again next week so I don't want to be miles behind my goal, haha!

so I went to work today..and finished , read half of . Maybe I should go to work more often!

I finished this morning and now I'm starting .

I don't know if I mentioned that I finished yesterday as well. That was an amazingly confusing book. What a twisted plot with a totally insane ending.

Finished The Apothecary's Daughter by Julie Klassen

Finished and will start on (buddy read) until my Nook gives out and then I'll switch to

Ugh...hi everyone! I have to apologize for being gone for so long. Everyone in my family has been sick lately, so my time reading, let alone on GR, has been sharply curtailed.

We appear to be on the upswing (fingers crossed), so hopefully I'll be back to reading and posting more often. :)

*crosses fingers too*

Thanks Midu! I think we need all of the wood knocking and finger crossing we can get. :)

Is it just me, or is everyone sick right now? Maybe it's just a Michigan thing...

I finished yesterday and have started and .

OK, so this week I read , , and , which I liked but weren't great, and , , , and , all of which were great and I absolutely loved. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Avalon Archers series and I need more of that. :) I'm planning on reading next so I can finally finish the Luxe series but I have to admit I'm feeling kind of ho-hum about it.

I've had a mad week in the lab this week so I haven't actually managed to finish any books at all :(

5 stars! An excellent book. I really like Taylor and Baldwin and they work very well together in this one.

I finished last night at midnight. WOW what a terrific book! Larissa Ione outdoes herself in this one.

I will finish today and then will start on .

I'm still listening to in my car and OMG is it intense. Don't ever get arrested in France!

Finished yesterday and started

@ Christina - You are a reading machine! And all those purple covers! Kudos to you!

@ Barbara - Definitely thought Guilty Wives was one of Patterson's better newer releases!

I finished 1 purple cover this week.
Unearthly - Unearthly #1 - Cynthia Hand
5★'s (Feb 21, 2013)

I was hoping for 2 but Im in the middle of the second one right now.

On to the white cover week. I have a couple line up as possibles :-D But Im winding up the month and starting next months reads this week. Will see how many whites I get done.

Alright, ★Gwendolyn★, I took off the post above.

snow days meant that I got extra reading done. I finished ***, **, *****, and **** this weekend.

Amy J., looks like a shade of purple... do you want me to count that one?

Well my Nook died and for some reason (bad cable I think) I couldn't recharge it so I didn't finish though I'm at work now and it's charging so I will definitely finish it today.

I got about halfway through before I got disgusted with the repetitive nature of this book. During his around the world tour, Captain Cook apparently spent lots of time at every island he encountered in the bars getting plastered and getting laid. Reading about it got old real fast. I'm going to do my best to finish this book by month end as I need it for the SRC challenge. Reading at work -- where I have nothing else to pickup instead-- seems to help with the tedious books.

When I quit this book, I picked up which I needed for the SOS Fantasyland Game. WOW now that is a terrific book! You couldn't put this one down if you tried. The creepiness and the suspense factor just kept me turning pages until I finished it at midnight.

In the meantime I'm going to work on which is about a man who loves to cook and clean. Hmmm women's porn anyone?

Too bad about your Nook, Barbara★, but glad your are able to charge it at work. I'll have to check out Creepers.

No purple books for me last week :(
I've been totally sucked into BDB-series and finished and almost back-to-back and I never read series back-to-back. These were so good!
Now taking a break and reading
