MN Lisa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

This is a long book. My limit is usually about 500 pages, except for this month I read an anthology that was close to 900. That was just bad.

Thanks for reading it. I figured it was short enough for you and Janine to power through. If needed, next time I can power through one of your choices. :)

I snooped at what Ti was doing last night as I waited to start reading for another challenge. :)

@Apoorv I thought so to, but other sites have done the same book and it does say "At Least the last X letters"

so First to second is ALL letters, Second to Third is ALL letters and Third to 4 th is 4 Letters.

@Janine, I'm also using it for No CAT in the title for Friends.

If you could that would be great. then we can have

Thunder Moon (Lisa)
Thunder Moon (Kristen)
Thunder Moon (Janine)
Moon Called (Suzanne)

And I'm about halfway done and it different than the first one and I think I like it better.

It's at least 3 letters. I have seen other teams use the same book. So in this case we are using all letters.

I was going to start Thunder Moon by Minerva Howe. Its a MM Romance, #2 in a series, but only 129 Pages and available with KU so maybe there are others that could power through it? I know Janine and Kirsten also read MM. Not sure if there are others in the group?

I was the only one who claimed anything for that 3rd sloth so if we have to go back we can. Plus Vi's next book works for chipmunk since we seem to be having issues with finding that.

The number that appears in column I on the Wheel Tab is the # of times we had (including current) that specific item.

We can get a new spin for the 2nd Sloth if we want.

It doesn't specify we have to have finished the second set...

From Spin Request:
Laura: If you look at the first post in this thread, it says, “if you have had the task set twice…”. It doesn’t specify if you have FINISHED the task set twice.

I just fixed Basilisk. There are actually 4 different items.

I will take Playtypus and read tinker's apprentice

Is there a page count minimum? I'm reading a bunch of short (less than 90 pages) books for another challenge and wondering if we can use them for Free Choice and/or Mini-Challenges.

I vote for a new one.

Notalus added to shelf

I'm still working on my Platypus book. Unfortunately today was taken up with Prep and tomorrow is my Daughters grad party. I hope to finish on Monday. Sorry.

I have a direction audio book I can read while I drive doing errands today. Notalus: Lord of the South Wind

Do you have a short one I might like that I could read quickly? Yanni's story that I'm reading for Friends has the platypus

OMG. The book I'm starting now actually has platypus in the text.

But it is also 400 pages. I still think we should use it for Wheel. how often does that come up in text?

Hmm. Under (preposition):
