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

Down to 30 to read but still have two left from May and 1 coming out in July.

Our 2nd Wheel set of tasks are original and spin-off book pairs.

More detail: "Read two pairs of books where the second is a spin-off from the first. This could be a secondary series by the same or different author (e.g. Sherlock Holmes original and Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell), a continuation of a series by another author (e.g. Poirot by Agatha Christie and Sophie Hannah) or a retelling (e.g The Great Gatsby and The Chosen and the Beautiful)
It is NOT two books from the same series"

Is anyone interested in figuring out a pair of books that would work? These tasks are going to take a bit more communication. It is also 2 pairs needed if anyone wants to just read their own pair of books.

Rebecca, you still have 11/22/63 on your currently reading shelf and not your read and TT shelf. Could you please fix that? GRs seems to be having issues with this again.

Sigh, GRs keeps messing with my links. I keep having to fix that for the team. Here are the links for here and I'll go fix the SS later.

You beat me to it by a few minutes. Just came by to write out the new order.

Until the start of July, please put everything in the Team spell-it-out. Focus on the shorter words first. I hid any word over 16 letters because they are worth less points per book.

Once July starts, we can do new tasks as well. However, we still need to do page number towers, so no books over 400 pages should be in the new Wheel tasks until we have enough of the longer books. We seemed to balance the chipmunk tasks and page numbers this month so that's good. However, we also want to finish all the words with 16 letters or less, so I will keep everyone updated as we go. Just a note, we need the letter I right now.

GR was a mess yesterday

New one and not over 800+ pages

Griffin is back:
300 to 349
set in United States
red cover
"brave" or "courageous" in text
cross on cover

We are down to 9 tasks and the two currently unclaimed are:

1. Solve for X - Read a book with the letters BODMAS in the title
(I removed my book as not currently feeling it, maybe later this month)
2. X-Men - Read a book with the word Storm in the title

I'll volunteer as back up for Neez but I need to be one of the later days (I'll be back with exact dates).

I'll volunteer as back up for Neez as well

My next audio has half in the title and as my trip is still delayed, I will add it to the sheet this evening.

Added, new task:

Random 10 - Read a book that is #10 - 19 in a series

Thank you, both. New task:

X-Men - Read a book with the word Storm in the title

Aoife, can you add your most recent book to your TT shelf?

Bobbi, your books is still marked as currently reading, if you are done, can you mark it as read and add it to your TT shelf?

Thank you, new tasks:

X marks the spot - Read a book featuring pirates (or privateers)

I read two that were just very average. I used them for TTs or I likely would have DNF'd both of them.
- disappointing TP - too shallow
- also boring and too shallow

Two new ones:

116 X-Rated - Read a book with MPG New Adult and NOT Young Adult
117 Solve for X - Read a book with the letters BODMAS in the title

Bobbi has a book for professor. I'll likely save yours for page number as that is not a hard task and we really need some more 400 page books by the end of the month.

Michelle, the Edgar is all yours. I will save the space for you on the planning sheet.
