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

Then I’ll stick with the kindle version as well for now. I’ve got two I’m trying to finish before uno anyway.

Judith, is you version of Middlegame greater than 500 pages? If not, I can try to get the hardback version from the library, which is over 500.

I'm in for DQs as well

New Monster - Bakekujira


100 to 175 pages
Author initials in WHALE
Birds or fish on cover
ghost important to plot
Setting is costal or on the ocean

I finished my Egypt book so I will spin for a new one and replaced Judith's

I've added three as well but at least finished 1 and have a chance to finish a 2nd. Still, wrong direction.

New year, new goals:

Would the lights in the windows of a house work for a light source?"

I was thinking that you would have to see the source so light fixture or sun etc. but not just light beams or lit windows

I am pretty sure that they moved it to Pennsylvania

I read it and loved it in middle school, so I fully support it as a children's book, but I read anything with dragons and had much less choice back then. They were very simplistic, and I wasn't very picky.

Can you clarify what this task from Ahool means? Thanks so much.

“Authors LN or FN starts with AHOOL""

Not a mod but wrote the task, it means author last name, or first name starts with a letter in AHOOL (either, not both)

New Monster - Kamaitachi


500 to 650 pages
Author initials in Sickle Weasel
3 in page number
Knees on cover
MC 's gender is male

Judith, my Egypt book just got in at the library and I will get it tomorrow if you want to pass on yours.

Yay, new monsters. I will look this evening for some books.

I’ve finished my classic book if anyone is around to spin for a new one. Thank you

It is pretty amazing how many people vote v actually read. 75 voted for Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and you had 7 readers. There really seems to be a very small subset who read. I'll join Middlegame next month but neither appealed to me this month. I’m going to try one a month but January has been a fail so far.

I listened to the first three of the Innkeeper books on Graphic Audio before reading the most recent Innkeeper as a reread. They were fun, but sometimes the sound effects are really silly. I was lucky that my library had copies.

Are we good with spaceship as a ship? That might be easier for this group. Also, I have a rope book but have some others I want to read first.

First monster done and we got Nemean Lion as our next one

First DNF for the new year, I have been meaning to read since 2017 and at this point, it is just so out of date and non-scientific in its writing that it comes across as way too simplistic to me and I am learning nothing. Off to find another non-fiction to listen to while cleaning snail tanks today.
