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

Nice job!

We have under 2.5 hours left in the challenge. I am going to move the following books from round one to round two:

Beatrice - Starling House
Cat - Ammonite
Katie - Promise Canyon

If you finish in the next couple of hours, sorry! I am figuring it is safer to move them over. Thank you.

Hey Team - We have just over 4 hours until the end of round 1. Books still on the round one sheet:

Beatrice - Starling House
Cat - Ammonite
Katie - Promise Canyon

Finished To Love A Thief and updat..."

Thank you. I would say it is up to you on your other book. I will still be up for a couple of hours and could move it over if you finished it. I will keep checking. '

If you are good with your book, Sing Me Back Home, let's go with that for our second battle book. Does that work for you?

Thank you SandyL and thank you Ashlee!

Three letters overlap is the minimum… I was thinking the entire word HOME would be fairly easy to find.

Alth..."

You are right though, using HOME gives them a lot to work with.

Thanks Rebecca!

Hey Ashlee, could you please mark Hunger Games as "read" on your Book Games list? And fill in resource option on the spreadsheet if you have time :) Thank you.

I have Since We Fell .

Laura's book in ending in OME is probably better than mine with ELL

I also have The Sin Eater's Daughter

I am also done with round one

I will update my books later today. Thanks :)

Another friendly reminder - Round one and our mini challenge end in just under 29 hours :) Thanks.

When I review the rules, it looks like you can get points for writing discussion questions for 1 day and then you may also earn points for reading the book and discussing the book in 3 separate posts. I believe that is why there is only one column showing for the "DQ Set Written"

My understanding is the Backroom BOM is working the same as the regular BOM.

Wow!! Happy Birthday Danielle :)

I'm spending the remainder of Round 1 finishing The Hunger Games and unfortunately The Malevolent Seven (This book is just plain awful!)

I did star..."

I think I absolutely want to read that serial killer book. Is it good?

Marvelous! Happy Birthday :)

I just finished Iced Under to close out the 3 food items on the cover category. I'm a quarter way through Horns

FRIENDLY REMINDER :)

To earn BR discussion points for The Hunger Games the book must be finished and at least three posts of actual discussion need to be made during Round 1.

The BR discussion thread will remain open and please continue to discuss as long as you'd like. The mods will put a post in the thread stating something to the effect of "posts beyond here no long count towards Book Games discussion points". So it will be clear when the window for points has closed.

So for those of us reading the Hunger Game (end date 06/15) and The Malevolent Seven (end date 06/16), we need to have our three discussion posts in the BR thread and the book finished by the dates noted above.

Please remember that there is a countdown clock in the top left corner of the tracking sheet that should help avoid confusion with different time zones etc. Thank you :)

Following up on the Cornucopia challenge - I will have the food on the cover book finished within the hour and I should have the horn on the cover finished tomorrow.

But if anyone has a horn on the cover book that they would like to use instead, feel free. I am reading my book either way. Thanks.

Hi Rebecca, I am so sorry to hear your daughter had HFM. So hard for them! I hope she feels better soon.
