Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Anything you finished in August is fine, Emy. ☺

Awesome, thanks! I'll add it to the challenge list. :)

In keeping with Sonia's "80s dudes in uniforms" theme, how about this guy? (I could not find a "perfect" picture of him in uniform, by my standards, so here are a few different ones!)


(OOPS! That is not a uniform! Oh well, heheh)

Man in uniform on a Triumph? Yes, please!


The scene that makes a million women swoon (among other things, I would imagine, hehe)


This is on Netflix streaming... I really want to watch it now. Sleep vs a movie about a man in uniform. This is such a tough call. Am seriously considering a nap on the couch while this movie runs...

Question: So this points thing I saw is a challenge within the team? Just for fun?

Results of July Hobbit game

Yes.

Hi LK! Thx for the fast reply :) Do we have that as well or will consider this for the future?

No, we aren't required to do it. But I think it might be fun for the future.

Hi! I’m Nichole from the Leather Jacket Black team and wanted to invite you to participate in our daily quizzes for fun! If you are interested, the quiz for today is posted in Message 2512. What Greek God Or Goddess Are You? It’s all for fun! Enjoy :)

I sent you a PM today. I don't know how frequently you check those so I thought I'd post a note here for you!"

Thank you! & Done.

Hello little cadets I am back and survived the family gathering weekly (barely).

My reading time was almost nonexistent since I only had the opportunity to read at bed time and I was so so so tired by then.

Anyway, I am determined to read two books this week to make up for it - yeah, I know, ambitious :o)

Speaking in ambitious, we now have 483 books read. Let's try to get to 500 quickly, shall we?

And, since we are at it, and today is Monday, let's see who finish more books this week and wins the crayon of the week award - cadet blue version :o)

Cadets books goal
Christine	63	38,89%
Emy	 28	35,00%
Jessica	 8	13,33%
Jessica W	46	46,00%
Jex	 9	22,50%
Lindy	 104	40,00%
Lisa Kay	61	32,11%
Lisarenee	24	32,00%
Mod Account	27	36,00%
Sarah	 101	50,50%
Sonia	 10	25,00%

I'm going to consider two winners, the one who read more books this week by 1)Number and 2)by goal.

Happy readings!

Next target, 500 Books!

And a uniform to match :o)

Christine that cover is so pretty. I love the eyes.

I love the cover - I am happy that I gave the series a chance, it was a 4 stars read, really enjoyed it. I am dying to read the 3rd book :)

finished

Another blue cover. Nice Christine!

Rock Chick is one of those series that I'm tempted to start... but never do

Finished listening to this book today. I believe it took roughly a week for me to finish listening to. It was pretty good, I like learning about Nazi Germany and seeing perspectives of it. Book was interesting, made me sad, and great character development.

Hopefully I can start reading a bit more, this month is harder then I thought it would be since I'm currently taking 3 college courses, and Biology is kicking my butt right now. :(

Finished this today. Gah, my feels.

The internet connection at the mountain sucks. I barely managed to check in. I finished rock chick revenge & I loved Ava & Luke's story, I want a Luke for myself :) Cant wait to read Stella & Mace's story in the next book but that has to wait until i'm down the mountain again :(

@Sonia: you should give the first book "rock chick" a try, the story of Indy and Lee is hilarous :)

Rock Chick added to my TBR pile :o)

So, we now have 486 books read (On message 922 I forgot to deduct Mary and Laura - bad Sonia)

And for the crayon of the week, our standards are:

Cadets books read
Christine	66	3
Emy	 29	1
Sarah	 102	1
Jessica	 8	0
Jessica W	46	0
Jex	 9	0
Lindy	 104	0
Lisa Kay	61	0
Lisarenee	24	0
Mod Account	27	0
Sonia	 10	0

Go team!

And we can't talk about 80's uniform without Johnny Depp and 21st Jump Street



I was a HUGE fan of the show

no particular reason

Finished . I'll update the other thread in the morning when it's not 2:30am, and I'm not an emotional wreck. XD

*whispers to the team*
Have you noticed that Christine is our new secret weapon for the BAP mods challenges?

**whispers back** Yes, it is awesome.

*cool* I am secret weapon *lol*

finished

you are secret weapon and most probably will be the crayon of the week

got to think of cool picture prize.

*giggles*

I finally was able to read yesterday but they were novellas so don't count for the challenge, but I'm going to refer them the same

- I was a bit disappointed with it, I had high hopes since I was a Magnus fan and was waiting for his book for a while.

- ebook version. I loved it. I just wanted it to show more of the development of the mutated virus and the forming of the vampire cities, but it had a sweet romance story, so it compensates. And it gets me more motivated to wait for the buddy read next month

finished 2,5-3 stars (disappointing)

Good lord, Christine, do you sleep, work, or eat? All you do is read!? :D

working not so much - more working out as in hiking, I am on a holiday in the mountains :) The air is really good and I am totally motivated to get a new record in books read this week :) I am bursting with energy! Trust me, I eat enough and sleep is overrated, dont ya think?

You really are a secret weapon!!! :D

Question: is blue enough for the August challenge? *lol*

Christine wrote: "Question: is blue enough for the August challenge? *lol*"

Approved for blue.

Sorry for my absence Ladies and Steven (because I know you are stalking our uniforms), but my last week migraine got worse during the weekend... I did manage finishing a book between naps and getting sick and temporary relief caused by meds. I thought I finally got rid of it last night till I wake up at 6 AM today in pain. thank the heavens for painkillers and sunglasses.

Will update the finished thread soon and announcing the crayon of the week award... I had the feeling that is going to be to our secret weapon, but I need to check out the tracker to make sure.

See ya in a few.

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well Sonia, hope you get better soon!!

Yeah, me too. I'm like this since tuesday... Pain aside, what really annoys me is if I try to read or listen to music I get sick. Plus I can't focus on work *sigh*

But I'm able to watch TV... how weird is that?

I can always do TV too :)

Finished . :)

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Sonia. :(
