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

Since I have no books in #13 or 14, I am concentrating on #22 since I have books for most of the tasks and those books are pretty short. I wish we had more time to do the Olympian gods one since most of the Rick Riordian novels would fit

I have 2-3 Olympian God/mythology on first page books for #20 but I am not sure I can read them by Friday or Saturday (whenever this challenge is over). I have no sword or shield books for #19. I have a few "lost" books but there is a "the" in front of it. I have no books for "hot" or beach umbrella for #22 but I have books for the others just not sure if I could read in a short time. Whatever you think is best, I will go with

Title: Things We Set On Fire
Author:Deborah Reed
Task: "fire" in the title

The Trial of Marie Montrecourt has 2 St. Bernard's for the dog task

I am okay with this

Will the bonus excuse us from 2 of our team not doing 2 books for the main labors?

The book I just finished, A Storm of Swords, could be used for any of the Labor 19 tasks except the "shield" in title

Title: A Storm of Swords
Author: George R.R. Martin
Task: ?

No, but I am hoping that old reviews will be grandfathered on since it will be very hard and time consuming to have everyone go back and change their old reviews.

You can use Game of Thrones if you need to to get a bonus faster. Should I finish my long book or wait until the next WOBBLE challenge to finish?

I read which could be used for something beautiful on the cover (butterfly)

Were we invited? Should I answer the BOM questions or nevermind?

I don't understand it either, lol. Is it just Lady Jane or Cursed Child too?

Ok. I will try to get on tonight and start working on them!

Any word about the BOMs?

Read Lady Jane 6/22 and Cursed Child 8/6 (a couple of weeks after each was published).

Questions:

When does WOBBLE end exactly?

I read the 2 BOMs before I knew they were BOMs but during WOBBLE. If I go answer all the discussion questions now, will we get Travel Agents?

Any word on Tower Teams starting?

Ugh, and none of the umbrellas are beach umbrellas. I'll keep looking
