Lexi’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

In my Nigeria book, one of the MC’s is a sculptor if someone else has a Nigerian author they want to read

Please hold off finishing any hard country until one more medium country is finished. If anyone finishes a medium country before I do, please feel free to switch itinerary spots.

Have you read Finna? A bit short for this challenge but it and the second one are my all time favorite on this theme.

Yay, I only have a week left to read the BOM. I will read it on the plane tomorrow.

Thank you, Suzanne

Hard countries can be read again as we are on to our 8th itinerary. That is very impressive. Each itinerary must have three medium books, so I moved some books around to make sure there was 3 medium ones in this next round. Books will still be moved around as people finish them.

Erin and Ann, you both have a Estonia book. Please make sure that both do not occur in the same itinerary or we won't be able to count both.

Sorry, work has been hard. I am off to a conference next week, which will have the usual increase in reading associated with sitting around in airports. However, it is only in Canada so no 18 hour flights thankfully.

I’ll finish my Iran book tonight but please hold off finishing hard countries until I do.

I’ve got them all added to the spreadsheet, thank you. Hope you are enjoying your reading

Yes, good catch. Suzanne, I have changed it to the DRC and it is our second one so all good there.

Suzanne, I DNF’d Into Thin Air so you can read your Nepal book whenever. It was a bit too much detail on a topic I wasn’t that interested in.

Cathy, I’m so sorry. Seconding, do whatever you need to take care of yourself and family

Happy Month 3 reading everyone. We are impressively in 2nd place and read more books as a team in the last month than the first month. Great job, everyone

Got my last one done too. A very short hard country (Albania)

Steven, I used yours for an A from the book blurb so you are all good.

Another new world one:

Xu Hai (Japan)
350 to 450
Takes place in Korea, Japan, or Taiwan
"dwarf" in text
Same number more than once in page number (i.e 224)
MC is tricked (your interpretation)

We have a little under a day and 10 hours to go. People about to hit their book cap are as follows:
Judith: at max
Erin: 1 book left
Lexi: 2 books left
Susan: 1 book left
Suzanne: 1 book left
Maria Jo: 1 book left
Ann S: at max
Steven: 1 book left

If you at max, we cannot use any more of your books until next round so feel free to not finish any books between now and then.

Ann, since Uruguay is a 20 point country, and the task is only 10 points. I moved it over to an itinerary. Also, you are at max, so we cannot use any books finished in the next 34 hours.

Yay, reread for me but greatly enjoy this book

I'll drop into smaller hard country books to reach my book cap this month if I don't get there in the next few days with my normal books so seconding Erin's thoughts.

Another itinerary is done. We are on to the next one so feel free to finish any time.

Also, Judith and Suzanne, your Singapore and Honduras books respectively are good to go now.
