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

We will move things around as needed, but we could use all the help we can get :) As many options as you can give us is ideal.

I'm not sure on the flower. I will need to figure that one out.

I don't care if people say a book CAN be read as a standalone. It is still missing im..."

I totally agree! I cannot start in the middle. You know you are missing things that add to the story!

It should be fixed. And that’s all I’m going to get to this round sorry guys, I work the remainder of the day. Good luck, finishing everyone and thanks for the hard work.

That’s my fault. I’m trying to do it on my phone.Its today the 26th.

@M Could you please add The Rains of Liscor / Pirateaba to your wheel shelf? Thanks!

I am almost done with the remaining O. My internet went down earlier and I could update here.

@stormie Hello, when you have a moment, could you please move your book Studies at the School by the Sea / Jenny Colgan to your boring shelf? Thanks!

Thank you! And you may switch books whenever you want. We definitely don't want boring books.

That would be very helpful! It allows us to move it somewhere else if needed to finish a word, etc. Thanks for asking.

How many iterations of the words have we done so far. Is there any easy way for me to see for myself? Just curious."

Here is the link for our official spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

We have one full word, most of a second, and about half of a third. We are working on verifying books and moving things over.

The captains are kindly asking our teammates to check the planning spreadsheet for their books. If they are still there, it is likely we have posted a comment above asking for something to be corrected. We can't move them to the official sheet until we have confirmed all recorded details are correct.

It's new and it's a lot! We will get here :)

Excellent point!

That would be quite the accomplishment.

The first one that came to mind for me was The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty

There are actually quite a few if you just put the word Husband in the Goodread's search bar.

Welcome back Brittany, congratulations M, and I hope you are feeling better Stormie.

Kelly, no worries! We are all doing the best we can.

I think that caught me up on the chat :)

@Bobbi your book The Useless Witch - you have it recorded as 259 pages, but it appears the book is either 281 or 283 pages depending on which version you read. Could you please check and record the correct page count got the version you read.

More pages, more points! Thanks so much.

The other books in that top word have been read and those remaining 3 books are all that is needed to complete the word. Just a little easier to read the spreadsheet that way :)

I might need to find that one :)

@Kelly I'm checking in on your two books (excellent work on having completed 2 books already!!)

On the spreadsheet they are both listed as read, but both books do not have a completed date on the spreadsheet and Wicked Gentlemen has a read date of 2013 on your wheel shelf. No hurry on those fixes as none of our words are complete. Thank you!

I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving with the family!

When you are back in on Tuesday, please move Oscar: The Bionic Cat to you wheel shelf :) Thanks!!

I'll see if I can find Road Trip as well.
