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

We are nearing our 4th full day of the challenge and with 21 books completed we have nearly completed our first word with only a O and U needed to complete. Well done team.

@Joyce your book is marked as being started on September 22. Books for this challenge cannot be started before the challenge begins.

I’ve been chosen for DQs 🎉

I’m happy with my day. It’s quite fitting really I’m still recovering from a sprained ankle after breaking the small bone that holds my ligaments in place 😞

I generally have 2 or 3 on the go. Audio, kindle and physical

Good morning everyone. Started my first book late last night, Where Are They Now it’s on kindle so will take me most of the week, although I’ve just spent half hour reading the 1st 9 chapters after falling asleep half way through the 1st chapter.

In work today so going to pick an audio to read

@Cecily please add Tripwire to your shelf

Yes please

Good morning all. I’ll be starting my first book today, not sure which one though

Enjoy and have fun

A little over 12 hours to go before we begin. Don’t forget books can’t be started until the countdown reaches Zero. To make it easier for us to check please ensure you add a start date to your books and that they are added to your shelf.

If “reading” an audio please make sure the audio book is shelved and use the “default” (the book that comes up first when you search) for page count.

If you’re reading a book with the following MPGs Childrens / Kids / Poetry / Play / Graphic Novel / Illustrated / Photography / Art (or which have "Illustrated" in the title or an "Illustrator" contributor in the metadata) please make sure to verify that the word count is over 30,000

But a pub in 2021 date is good!"

Yep that is frustrating

I’m glad you’re safe Patti.

Can you double check the link in post 4 to make sure I’ve linked the correct shelf

Good morning all and welcome, I can see we are nearly all here. Is anyone planning to read The Road Trip the BOM starting on 16th October. It will be a re-read for me, something I wouldn’t usually do but if it nets us points I will be reading it. I’ve put my name down for DQs 🤞 so potentially it will be worth 110 points

Our word for Round 1 is

HOUSEHOLD BUDGET

Given our book cap we can complete this at least 5 times at most 8 times with 1 partial spellout

Each word requires the following
B - 1
D - 2
E - 2
G - 1
H - 2
L - 1
O - 2
S - 1
T - 2
U - 2

Welcome Brooke and Maria.
@Maria what I enjoy most about wheel is that practically every book can be used.

@Brooke feel free to claim letters we will move books around as needed to complete word sets.

@Fiona and @Nistha don’t forget to link your shelf
