Lexi’s Comments (group member since Jul 27, 2016)

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

Two harder ones up:

Solve for X - Read a book with MPG Popular Science (https://www.goodreads.com/genres/popu...)

Random 10 - Read a book featuring a gymnast (in honour of Olga Korbut's perfect 10)

Laura, yes, we moved yours over to HP for the winners tower and used Bobbi's in 6 since that got more points overall. Thank you, both

Next of the towers is here:

Ten Tallest Towers 1 - Burj Khalifa - Read a book set in, or by an author from United Arab Emirates

Saving that for China as we will need five total for each of the top ten towers. Working on a last now.

Polls for the July BOM are here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/3...

You all are fast - 2 new ones:

Top 10 Books 2020 - Read book from the GR "Best of 2020" list (see https://www.goodReads.com/list/best_b...)

X Books - Read a book where the title contains 10 characters (inc punctuation, exc spaces)

New task - Random 10 - Read a book with MPG Classics

I just started this book this morning, and I immediately thought the red circle looked like a red balloon. Is that potentially a match for chipmunk task #11? Or not close ..."

Judith agreed and I think it would work for being similar to the movie poster. One person on a white background with a one word title.

I’ve just put my computer up for the night but I’ll add another round tomorrow.

April, can you add a read date to Crazy Love? Goodreads sometimes messes up.

Countdown to when June books, including Chipmunk books can be finished. However, you can start them not.

Thank you all, and Brittany, I added your books from your shelf since they included a 500 page one, and I know you are on the app only right now.

Also, great job everyone, feel free to keep reading and we always get points for page numbers, but we have covered all the required books for May, including all the 500- and 600-page books so great job everyone.

Brittany,

Could you please add A Thousand Pieces of You and Nine Liars to your TT shelf?

Thanks!

It has been a world I keep thinking about after reading, and there aren't that many books that I give 5 stars too. I'm glad there are more to read, and it is top two of the ones I have read for this challenge so far this year.

I switched my entry above as not in the mood for horror

#9 - added in April 2016 - hadn't even graduated from vet school yet, which makes it one of my earliest books after I rejoined GRs

I loved it (5 stars) and want to read the two shorter ones. I'm not sure why I waited so long but I blame the first cover.

Not sure who told you on background, but Tineye was used for a while, but the rule changed as it occasionally is very, very wrong. It can be very confusing, so not your fault at all.

For instance, TinEye thinks this book is pink.

TinEye is not always to be trusted on colors. Also, never exclude background color as we want the entire cover for color percent.

Edited: On second thought, it is the color of a post-it-note which is light yellow.

#8 - added in June 2017 when I finished the first one so my goal is to get to the 3rd one in less than 6 years
- I gave it 3.5 stars rounded up but it struggled with middle book in a trilogy syndrome with a lot just being set up

Back to the end of May. We have 9 days left. Quick roll call on the books we need to get our page numbers covered.

The 600+, we need 3. On SS, we have:
Judith - 2
Jax -1
Rebecca -1

For 500s, we need 6. On SS, we have:
Judith -1
Lexi - 2
Mahi -2
Megan -2
Rebecca -1

Please post if you won't get to yours or only to a subset.
