Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I have a list with 128 books on it. How the hell am I going to choose what to start with? Aaaaaargh!

I will probably start the audio on one of the really big books, and grab the top one of the pile of hardcovers that I set up. Who knows?

It's a very good series. And very very populat too. Bu you probably already know that. I've only read 2 of them, but liked them a lot at the time. It's been a while now however, so I need a little refresher before continuing.

I'm sad, because even though I have a lovely red cover to start, it doesn't cover the other requirements for sin bingo :(

Also, I am so tempted to get this for my Kindle, even though I already own the paperback, because that one is 801 pages, lol!

Good choice !
I haven't read Scythe, but people have been hyping it so much it's scary. lol You'll have to tell me what you think of it, and maybe I'll give it a try.

Oh, wow, that'd be a ton of points! LOL!

It will be my first Shusterman, but I've heard LOTS of good things.

Lol, I get it. I've done it a couple of times too. It's just so heavy, haha. And it's so difficult to not crack the spine when they are so massive! Also it's just too big to take with you when you leave the house.

I've read during the last team challenge. I believe Shusterman wrote it with his brother. I liked it a lot. Not quite a 5 star, but still a good 4 star for me.

I don't mind the heavy... I actually prefer to read the paperback. I usually only use the kindle if I can't get the book otherwise (my favourite fantasy author has quite a few books out of print, or at least really hard to get hold of!). I really don't like reading on it.

But soooooo many more points! lol.

Oh I get it now. Sorry, I misunderstood a bit ;)
Yes, sometimes I don't get why there's such a big difference in pages between the physical book and the kindle. Just, why?

it's not fair. don't they know we have challenges to win!? lol

I really recommend Scythe! And Shusterman is just a quality author.

I think Dry he wrote with his son.

You are right, Judith. Thank you for correcting me :)

Hey team... sorry to be absent... Anyway... I'll be around for towers kick off... and then happily disappear till the 10th or 11th.

I'm happy with any strategy you think it's best - I promise I'll catch up to know what it was. I have a few books lined up:

for sin bingo

and that works for a few sins.

Other than that, I haven't planned that much yet. Since I am a mood reader and I always deviate from the plan... I'm taking it one week at a time. Specially because it wouldn't be fair otherwise

*wicked grin*

I'm really a mood reader too. That's why I haven't planned much, either.
has been on my TBR for a long time now. I wanted to finish the Anita Blake series before jumping into another Laurell K Hamilton series, but in the end, why wait? Maybe this challenge is the perfect excuse to finally give it a try.

Did any else get a little bit nervous when Sonia grinned just now?
Makes me think that planning ahead is maybe a futile effort. Hmmmm. Too late.

I am so curious what they have in store for us mini-challenge wise.

Sonia, we've got your back while you deal with real life stuff!!!!

Would you say it's a blue cover?

✿ Claire ✿ ~ Foxgard wrote: "Would you say it's a blue cover?

Yes, I'd call that blue

Yes. Definitely yes.

Hope all is going well Sonia! I'll take one of your books off your hands week one. just holler if you think you'll need to hand off any more :)

I just picked this one up, and the hard cover looks deep pink to me, but it reads as red on the GR site. Opinions?

Jenny wrote: "I just picked this one up, and the hard cover looks deep pink to me, but it reads as red on the GR site. Opinions? "

It looks red to me

Yeah. I think I will put it under red. Easier than arguing the shades of dark pink.

You noticed, uh?

Plan ahead, no worries.

Although... mini-challenges wise I only threw ideas into the pot... the stirring and spellwording was not my doing.... much. LOL

Soooo, since I am most known as the killer bunny on the captains group.. I decided to make it an official title.

That been said. I need a new profile pic.

In honor of Jenny... I'm choosing this:

NIIIIIIIIICE

Pennywise the bunny. That's just mean. And, pretty fabulous.

I need to stop telling people I am afraid of clowns. It opens up too many possibilities.

Instead, I will start telling people that I am afraid of...baby animals. And chocolate. And rainy days while at home reading a book.

Let's see if that works.

That is actually a pretty awesome picture! (luckily I don't have the clown problem, lol)

Awww, but baby animals are adorable! Look!

That's even meaner!

Sónia please don’t do clowns. You know I don’t like clowns either. Jenny and I might snap and defend ourselves. Lol

This is why you never tell people what you're scared of, lol.

There's only one thing that scares the ever-living daylights out of me, and I am sooooooo not telling any of you lot! lol.

this one is cute too:

Oh no... They're writing books about me

Sonia wrote: "Oh no... They're writing books about me

Bwwahahaha!!

Oh wow, hahahaha.

*stares in horrified fascination*

I'm tempted on decrete it mandatory read....

@ Sammy: 99cts for a 7 page book? Nahhh, even I am not that evil

I am totally reading that. I will report back when I do.

Jenny wrote: "I am totally reading that. I will report back when I do."

Make sure those 7 pages don't put you behind with your Lava books. haha

OK. I just spent 99 cents on that book. I plan a lovely time of reading about whatever that book is about at lunch. Hopefully the subject matter works with beet salad.

Don't take your favourite childhood teddy with you! Innocent bears....

This cannot end well. Beets, no less.

Try not to spit any of those beets out as you read that, they stain things rather efficiently.
