Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Finished The Source -- albeit barely, had to kinda force myself through the end when it barreled past the ridiculous.

Oh ....

I'm moving on to "Shadow and Bone"

I read Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis, and there is a major disconnect in pages. Amazon has it at 176 and GR at 250. Either way it's over the 160 mark so I think it should count.

I am not reading Dead on the Delta anymore and I am reading Bloodring. The series would work for R Rogue Mage. I am also about to start Unclean Spirits and the character Chogyi Jake will work for C

I finished Shadow and Bone

I'm starting the 2nd Siege and Storm -- I'll update with letter potentials.

I've also got on deck Timebound

I'll update our letters after I get home...been a very busy day. Shannon--how did you like Shadow & Bone?

Loved it!

I'm finished with Embrace the darkness. Now I'm hesitating between reading Of Poseidon (the MC is called Emma) and Colleen Gleason's The Rest Falls Away. E, R or C?

I'm reading Gulliver's Travels which will work for R or M (Richard Sympson or Mary Gulliver).

Are you still reading Born in Blood?

Ok, just let me know what you decide :)

Can you link the book? I couldn't find which one it was. The one I found was only 64 pages...

Finished Siege & Storm --- and sorry but the only character that works is still Mal.

Going to start Timebound. The author's name works & I'll update if there are any characters.

I think she means Gulliver's Travels

I think I made all the updates. Please check to make sure that I have everything correct!

Shannon-I put S&S under M for now because it fit, but if there are other characters that fit, let me know and we can change it if we need to. I really want to read this one next, but I have two others that I need for a July challenge, so I'm forcing myself to read those first. I may give in lol

Was it good??

It's definitely a middle book. It was very good -- there were things I loved & things that had me pulling my hair. It wasn't as great as the first one but I will certainly be reading the third book!

Read Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Characters include: Crowley, Metatron, and Raven Sable.

Finished "Timebound".

Ok I'll read Of Poseidon for now, maybe if I'm fast enough I can read The Rest Falls Away too. Not sure if I'm goind to have enough time. I guess we'll see...

I am not doing good this week. I am just not in a reading mood.

Ok I found a book I can't put down called This Wicked Game. But I am at work now and I will post the link and everything when I get home.

I can't figure out what to start after Good Omens D: maybe when I'm asleep Devine intervention will make me dream about the best book to start tonight. ;)

I'm about half way through "The Girl of Fire and Thorns" by Rae Carson -- MC Elise

I finished The Girl of Fire and Thorns

I'll be starting Blood Kin by M.J. Scott

Okay, just let me know when you finish it and what letters it works for and I'll add it.

Finished The Last Surgeon. I'll look through my books and see if I can find another one that works

Could we add a points total to the weekly read post? Personally I think it would help me keep going when I'm feeling sluggish only to spur on my competitive spirit. Lol!

Absolutely! I'll add it now.

i wll

I added this to post 11:

As of now we have 205 points. If we complete the 4th spell out, we will have 245.

Last week we read 28 books. So far this week (at the halfway point) we've read 18.

Finished Gulliver's Travels. I don't think I'll be able to finish my next book this week so it'll probably have to count for next week instead.

Thanks Jaclyn!

I am about done with This Wicked Game

I should be done with my book tomorrow

Ok I finished my book and I will post everything tomorrow

I finished my book. I will start an "I" book next so we can complete the 3rd spell out. I think I have one that is about 200 pages. I'm hoping to fit in a few more books this week since we are behind.

I finished Blood Kin. I also read Dark Currents author will work for a C on the next read through.

Blood Kin had a character Ignatius Clay that would work for an "I" since they seem to be harder.

I'll find an "M" to take its place.

Just finished of poseidon, I really liked it. I'm reading the second in the series, Of Triton, now. It'll do for another E (Emma). I'll read The Rest Falls Away another time.

Ok, I've got Karma. I'm actually nearly finished. Character - Murphy's Law.

Next up I'll read 12.21.12: The Vessel by Killian McRae, that's another "M"

The Belial Stone will be after that -- character Jack Rogen for an "R"

Thanks everyone! I'll add the updates. I'm 1/2way done with If I Stay, and will definitely finish this afternoon. Then I'll move on to whatever letter is needed.

Finished If I Stay. Now starting If You Find Me...

I finished Karma & started 12.21.12

I finished This Wicked Game and it can work for C Claire Kincaid and M Michelle Zink.

I finished 12.21.12

Anybody got any idea how we are stacking up this week against the other teams so far?

I know we've got some ground to make up from finishing in the middle this week.

Not too sure. I've snooped a little. From what I can tell, we're still in the middle. If we can finish all the books this week, we'll have done better than last week, which is great! I'll have my book finished soon and can start another.

I'm about to take a nap, got thing to to tonight so up early, but I'm halfway through 'In Bed With The Tudors' by Amy Licence, so I can put forth an I with the title, then it talks about Catherine of Aragon, Mary, and Elizabeth I to add more letter variables. I should finish it tonight easy, then see what else I can do. One good thing about all this reading; it's supposed to hit 100 today! Ugh, I hate the Texas Summer. And even though it's near my birthday the dreaded first week of August is coming.
