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

I am so sorry as well LaurLa. Sending you positive thoughts!

Finished If We Were Villains . Added to planning sheet

I am going to give this a try as well :) Here for District 10

That’s funny, Sara, I’m in the exact same spot! I keep going to start some thing new and need to remind myself, I should find a podcast.

That sounds easy enough, count me in for those Buddy reads!

Welcome one and all! I'm looking forward to starting :)

Hi All, I'm Christine, one of your co-captains :) I'm from Minnesota. I'll read pretty much anything that works for a task in a challenge.

My shelf for this challenge -book-games

For a book series I was thinking of the Aloha Chicken Series Nest Egg

And I think the Wild Water Buffalo would mesh well with our other livestock

That's like the Justin Bieber of livestock!

Whoa! That impressive.

REMINDER NOTICE!

Our exalted Captain Cat requested team members add the page count to their Book Games individual shelves. This is a friendly reminder to please accomplish this task :)

Cat's instructions are below on how to add that page count option to your shelf. If you need help with the task, please let me know. You are all the absolute best! Thank you teammates :)

How to do this:
- go to your shelf page
- at the top, below the main ribbon, is the subset of options (reads Batch Edit / Settings / Stats / Print / Enable Sorting)
- select Settings - it'll expand to show all the fields that can be displayed
- select "num pages"
- press the "Save current settings..." button
- smile with a job well done to ease the captains' lives :)

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hi all! I haven't tried a BOM before, but I have had this book on my to read list forever and thought this was a good time to give it a try.

I read the rules, but still a little foggy on how it works. I know I need to read along and there are questions for discussion. Am I good to just jump in or do I need to declare my interest at the start?

Thanks :)

Excited for this challenge! I'm loving the campfire, the beverages, and the *ahem* awkward comments. Keep them all coming!

I finished my last book, Thank you for this challenge! All the captain, co-captains and team members should be proud.
Thanks for the fun and the hard work!

I finished one of my two and I am working to finish the last one. I need about an hour.

I am reading a book that we can use for an R in Morrigan. I am hoping the word Luggage or baggage comes up but no luck so far. I will add to the spreadsheet using the R for now. Code TT234.

I am hoping to get another one done tomorrow. I'll see where we are at when I finish this one.

PS - And The Something Girl is 303 Pages so that closes out the 300-399 books.

I can get one more book done by tomorrow. If there something in particular we need?

Maybe the task Charity - read a book that can be associated with Charity ?

I finished If It Bleeds by Stephen King today.

I mention it as we have it set to use for the letter I, but I should mention that the 3rd story in the book is the 2nd book in the Holly Gibney series which is a spin-off of the Bill Hodges series (Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, & End of Watch).

Maybe you would like to use it there instead. Thanks

Christine (or anyone) - do you know if Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is set in forest? I think it might work for that wheel task."

It is set in a forest! I didn't fill in info on that one, so I thought you all already had a spot picked out. Sorry for not providing more info off the bat!
