Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion
hey LK!
Sure, Midu! I had a couple things being replaced with strange #@$% things tonight too... so I could see why you wondered.
there are some bugs going around. a friend of mine kept running into an error page when she tried visiting my page on another group. Weird,isn't it?
Yup. They must be doing something. Installing/testing something new/big.
Thanks for the challenge, Lisa Kay. I saw it when you first posted it, and to start with, I'm reading a YA book of titanic proportions which won the Batchelder Award: Brave Story, by Miyuki Miyabe. So far, it's a good read. I'll review it when I'm done.
Great, Carol! Looking forward to what you think.
I just saw audiobook The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic - a finalist of the Audio Publishers Association’s prestigious Audiobook of the Year and Distinguished Achievement in Production Award.

Finally! It took me forever to find a book with stars on the cover. Plenty of moons, and sparkles, but stars were surprisingly hard.
I have decided to spell out Iceberg for this challenge, even though my grandmother was an influence for this one. Maybe after I finish spelling iceberg, I'll spell out grandma. We'll see.....I - The Irish Princess

E - Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch
B - The Blood of Flowers
E - Elemental Magic: All-New Tales of the Elemental Masters
R - Redoubt

Lisa, could I use the series title to meet the requirements of one of the challenges? A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) because of the word Ice.
