V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments Hi Jingles **waves**

jingles Hi, V Audio Nerd! Though I see you around ŷ all the time, and know about those wonderful challenges you host, I don't think we've ever "met" here on ŷ.

I'm guessing by your name that you really like audio books?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE audio books!


message 12: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments Lol yes I am slightly addicted to audio books, I very rarely "read" an actual book if I can help it, I've been known to bully my friends into trying them, some love them, others not so much.

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments Yay new team mates !!
Hi Liz &Marguerite ***waves***

Grab yourself a spot and dive in.

Looks like our word for the 1st week is going to be BABYPOWDER so if you can have a look to see if any of your books fit those letters that will be great.

You can use Title of book (excluding A, An, The), The Series name, Author 1st or 2nd name, a characters name (1st or 2nd / nickName) If listening on audio you can use the narrators 1st or 2nd name which give us an added bonus :�)
ooh and we need to get an extra bonus by reading a book of that colour (white)


message 30: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments You can start reading any of your books now, but the challenge doesn't start till 22nd March so you can only finish the books after that date, my advise would be to read your books but leave the last few chapters (if you can) till after 22nd ;�)

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments So I should probably introduce myself huh? lol

Hi I'm Vicci (V for short) **waves**
I am an audioholic as you can probably tell from my name :●D

I live in the UK in sunny Wales, although it's never sunny (think Forks in Twilight?? It could have been filmed here as it rains ALL THE TIME)

I am a mum of 1 little boy (8) and step mum of 2 (15 & 18)

I will read pretty much anything if I'm bullied into it, which I often am *cough cough Kristin, Snowtulip & Emma* although I do not do well with historical stuff and I am just dipping my toe into PNR.

Favourite genres are YA, Romance, Chicklit, Thrillers and a bit of Horror. I have also recently been introduced to Ty & Zane in the C&R series and hoovered them up so I'm moving into reading some more M/M.


message 48: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments With our Co captain Lizz (whoop whoop!!) being in the US the timezones will cross so there should be someone on here to answer any questions and help pretty much most of the time.

I spend waaaaaayyyyy to much time on GR haha.


Oh and I love to talk a LOT.......sorry about that :�)


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 705 comments Hi I am Lizz

I live in Texas and we really got snow this winter. It felt like the whole state was locked down lol. I really love to read but I haven't really been in a reading mood from a couple of weeks.

I read just about anything

I am a mom to three dogs
Sweettie(9)
Sam(8)
Caytie(6 or 7)


message 50: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4970 comments What type of dogs are they Lizz?

I have a Border Terrier called Clive (8)
