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

Third word opened up.

Saar and Preeti, thank you for adding your books to the spredsheet and I got both to fit

Darren, I added your three books from your wheel shelf since I was moving things around and you read non-fiction, which tends to have the fewest options.

Alison, I made room for yours as well.


Edited: Moved things again so a S,K and G so lots of options

Yes, please. This is true for anyone. Just add books to the bottom and I'll move things around as I have time.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to drop by and say we could really use some N so if you have a N character, please make sure to mark it on the spreadsheet.

I moved books around so look in the last spelling if yours is missing

That was me. I saw the empty space.

Next week, our word is BLUE SKINNED GODS (blue) and at least 10 tags of Contemporary. (Link:https://www.goodreads.com/genres/cont...)
The planning sheet is up.

Alison, thank you for checking in. Sometimes it is just not the right time for a book, maybe try a different one. Hope life calms down.

Last Month of the year - Dec can be a mess, so my goal is just to read 2-3 and don't add any.

Made it for the year with book #45. I'll see if I get anymore done this year but Dec tends to be saved for those challenges I am behind on.

This leaves me with 17 books from 2016 so by the end of next year, they will either be read or deleted. (I also only have 25 left from 2017).

Melanie, thank you for telling us and please focus on whatever you need to care for yourself. Hope you feel better soon.

Also, it has to be queer. I have a book with 4 myth tags so yes, it can be annoying when you are under, esp on newer books.

Next week, our word is RAZORBLADE TEARS (pink) and at least 10 tags of Queer. (Link:https://www.goodreads.com/genres/queer)
The planning sheet is up.

Darren wrote: "Hi.
I have added a book to one of the highlighted letters.

Also I think this book cover is red, so I have ticked the color box
"

That works great. Thank you

Read one of my older ones - (3 stars). Sadly, the author spent the second half of the book discussing philosophy versus writing some plot.

Alison wrote: "It doesn't currently fit any of the remaining letters on the planning sheet so ..."

I moved books around so it fits now. We have O,U, T left and then I will open up a new word.

Alison wrote: "Would you say this is red enough? Or too much orange?
"

I think it is orange

Great job, everyone. Teams have 12 hours to update sheets, but we are all good to start week 2.

There is no book limit this time so feel free to read as many books as you want

Darren, the last three books you added to the spreadsheet are all missing read dates on your wheel shelf. Could you please fix them, thank you
