Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I will check! :) I must have been typing at the same time as you. Is there an easy way to check for a word in a non-kindle book?

That was a quite lovely run of goals filled!

I read those books soo quickly Stacey. She starts out like you sort of want to kill her But she does get better.. The 4th book I was a little ehh on but I think I read those books in like 2 days... I could see if it has the word in it, I think I read them on my Kindle..

It doesn't come up on my Kindle Edition.

I was the same I read them in a couple of days. I was going to Dublin and started the first one on the train and almost forgot to get off. I am not a Mac fan, or Dani but I love Barrons and Ryodan.

Yes, Barrons has a special place in my heart... I did dislike him pretty much most of the way through and I was team V'lan but I did change my mind eventually.

Just going through my previous reviews of the series and 'Mac annoyed me a lot' has featured in every one of them...

LOL she definitely has a place on my annoying heroines list. Another of Moning's heroines really bugs me Adrienne from Beyond the Highland Mist I never liked V'lane, too pretty boy.

I think that was why I liked him, I need a pretty boy sometimes...

I do hate it when a story has such a good story line and the author then lets it down by having a weak character, especially the main character. I haven't read anymore of her books yet. I'm not sure I will.

I've heard that Mac gets better, so I've been trying to just deal with the endless outfit descriptions and her blonde cheerleader hair and I think I can deal with her. I'm hoping I will get to like Barrons more- right now he's just a pompous ass.

Stacey wrote: "I've heard that Mac gets better, so I've been trying to just deal with the endless outfit descriptions and her blonde cheerleader hair and I think I can deal with her. I'm hoping I will get to like..."

That is exactly how I felt about them both.

Just finished , headed to bed, so i will update spreadsheet in the Morning.

I've just sorted my 'to read' shelf to see if I have any of the books for that goal. I've come to the horrifying realisation that I need to have a major sort out of my shelves!
I was just wondering how we are defining a character who is extremely lucky as that can be interpreted in a variety of ways... ?
Hope everyone is enjoying what they are reading at the moment :)

Lauren I know I need to sort my TBR too. We have already completed the Lucky goal although knowing our luck we will see it again :) I used a book with a character who has unbelievable Luck, almost like a super power.

These our are current goals

°Read a book that has a number in the title with a series number one higher than that number
°Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 51-100 on your list (the first column before the book cover image)
°Read a book with the name of the tarot card "Temperance" in the text or title
°Read a book whose author died last year
°Read a book with 1-10 chapters

I am reading John Adams and it have the word Temperance in the text. Twice. It's going to take me a while to read, but technically it fills that goal.

That is good Megan. I am reading Death Comes to Pemberley which will cover author who died last year. I have been meaning to read it for ages so this a good reason to.

I found a novella with enough pages and only 10 chapters that I will try to fit in around my BOMs.

It's actually the second time we had that goal thrown at us.

I can do A Thousand Nights for °Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 51-100 on your list (the first column before the book cover image)

What BOMs are you doing? I'll be doing DQs for Uprooted and *maybe* (If my library has it) DQs for American Gods.

Ellie wrote: "The title with a series number goal has been there for a while. Does any have suggestions? I'll be more than happy to read something that fits and get it crossed out of our list."

If you have something that works that would be great I read one the last time and I do have another that works but it is a reread of a book I liked not loved.

That is great I hope you enjoy it. I am not sure on BOM I need to a take a look. I hope you get to do the DQs.

The BOMs are

Rebecca, I'm doing Six of Crows this month--I've put my name in for DQs, but so have 30 other people so waiting to see if I get it. I'll probably do Uprooted as well. And then I'm doing the November and December Back Room BOMs.

Sorry ladies, I feel like I have been letting you down this week, life has been pretty hetic.
Between me getting home late every night, and the challenge I am running in my group, I havent had the time to stop by much.

However I am almost done with &

I just finished Legacy of Kings.

I'm starting Six of Crowsthis weekend and plan on at least reading Uprooted. I didn't request DQs though because I have no idea how my work schedule will pan out.

I have a MOBI copy of the BOM Everything I Never Told You. I purchased the ePub earlier this year and my husband unlocked and converted it so I could read it on my Kindle app. If anyone wants to read it, I can email it to you.

We're in 10th Place!

I completed the Author who died last year with a PD James novel. Our next goal was read a book published in July , we had one in our unused books so

You have been busy, I am just happy we didn't hit a speed bump this week :)

I haven't read any Margaret Atwood Book in years I really should, I have a few I have been meaning to get to.

I could do The Thirteenth Tale or The Shadow of the Wind for Read a book that is in the "Best Crime & Mystery Books" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...). (Maybe The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America because I own a copy)

I realised I still hadn't read so I am going back and rereading the series. Last time I flew threw them all in a couple of days, this time I need to fit in a few other books for challenges. I started last night just stopped to finish which was really disappointing. I should be done later today and onto the next one.

The US edition of A Thousand Nights has stars under the dustjacket! SO PRETTY!!!!!!!! (I saw the Amazon diagram of the UK hardcover. PRETTIER!! If I like it I might buy it, or sell mine at Half Price Books and replace it. I am so weird.) Also yay! We are in 6th place!

Sometimes we get much nicer covers here, sometimes you do. They can vary so much. I read mostly on my Kindle these days but I still get swayed by a great cover.

Anything you want to read from the Crime Mystery list would be great. I own a few but I won't be able to fit them in until after the weekend.

Does anyone know of a way of searching a book for a particular word online I.e to search for 'temperance' in the text of a book to see if it actually has that word in before we read it? It may be a ridiculous thing to ask but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way! : )

DO you have a kindle ? I can search mine and it will tell me ever book on my kindle the word appears in. The problem I found with Temperance was it also flagged Temper , Tempered etc What book is it ? If I have it I can check.

I was going to check assassins apprentice by Robin Hobb? :)

If you're using an ebook app, like the kindle app on your phone you can def check on there. Its on the menu part. Like grace said, if we have the book we shall search it, that goes for everyone wanting to search for a word. :-)

Sorry I've been quiet today. Been sleeping off my night shift... and it'l be a blissfully early night for me. :)

Lauren My DH has Assassin's Apprentice I checked and it does contain the word temperance. Meg said she was reading a book with Temperance in it so you don't need to read it specifically for the goal. It has been a very long time since I read that book, it was a great series.

Thank you Grace - I was planning on reading it anyway. Meg will probably be finished first as I need to finish Winter but thank you for checking for me! Hopefully we can use it for a later goal. I'm looking forward to starting thee series, my manager at work has been desperate to get me to read it :)

I'm reading John Adams and it's almost ~750 pages. It's for another teams challenge so I'm not reading it just for the word temperance. But, since it's a nonfiction, it is likely going to take me a while to read.

I am sure it will fit something. I hope you like it. It has been a long time since I read any Robin Hobb books but I loved that series. One of my favourites along with Daggerspell It is funny that is how my DH and I got talking he was reading Ship of Magic

I read so little non fiction these days. I hope you like it. I am finally starting Bound for the BOM I will need to catch up on the discussion tomorrow.

I really hate that goal.

I finished Dragos Goes to Washington which has exactly 10 chapters for the 1-10 chapters goal.
