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

No worries! Good that you got some rest. I'm more than half through and I still think I'll be done tonight.

We have plenty of time!

I'm about an hour from having my A book completed. I can start the D then and likely have it done tonight. @Nicole if you are close to being done with your D, feel free to grab it from me and we can move to the next stage. I'm good either way.

I have a BOM for all 4 letters. I will start reading for A unless someone else wants it.

Sorry all I was stuck at work. Finished both my books and have added to spreadsheet.

I’m in the same boat. Just finished one and will have the last of mine for countdown finished tonight, after work.

I have some U's. I didn't think you were interested in going that direction so I didn't pipe up. I'm fine with doing the same word or different words. Variety is nice but you can stick me with whatever you want LOL. I'll count my Us now and see where I am at.

Counted: In book titles alone I have
Y = 7
O - 12
U = 10

I have a ton of O's as I am reading a series where the main character's last name is O'Connor. I didn't even count those. So if you want me working on the Word YOU a few times while you guys take the variety of letters with other words is okay by me.

I read and listen to music while on the treadmill. Only way I can get through it and sometimes that's not enough. My books are always on 1.5 but I don't go higher that 2.0, at least not so far.

Me too! My staff teases me when they hear it in the office. I always tell them I don't need the drama, just the words!

When I have an audio book like that, I turn the speed up

Way to go!

Alright. I finished and entered my last book. I had an A picked out and it's quick so I'm reading it just because so if Nicole has any problems I should be able to cover her. Nice job everyone.
Looking forward to next round.

That would be awesome. We would be at 60 books.

I'm home from my run and 1 finished book! I need about an hour for the last one.

And I might try and find one more. We can use another A. I believe we have 10 hours still

Do we know how many hours are left?

Thanks Nicole! I looked over the books Nicole has left and we can spell the word HAS or WAS, Was is 100 pts as W is worth more than the H.

I have one more book that I think I'll finish, this one is an audio book and would work for an A if we can use a one letter word which looks to be ok. What do you think? I can add them if you want

My pleasure. What a great team. Everyone works very well together.

Thank you. And trust me, I do not make it look easy. I'm the person that looks like they are going to die. I've had people ask me if I'm okay. I've had grandma's and disabled folks (leg disabled!) pass me. It's a work in progress

ok. Added the 3 books I had. We still need an I. Is someone working on that. Otherwise I found one I can get on my To Read list. It's only 160 pages so I'll start it this afternoon.

Ha! I'll be honest, If I could eat and not exercise I would in a heartbeat. I am not genetically blessed. So I run and sign up for races to keep me motivated. And I like the challenge. A lot of mental work running longer miles.
I got stuck with work stuff. Updating now
