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

I'll join in for participating, but if you need another DQ set, let me know! I read this when it first came out in Nov 2018, so I'm excited to re-read.

I'll check out the BOM, since I have the audiobook of Five Feet Apart reserved. I read it when it was first released in Nov 2018, prior to the movie being released Feb 2019, so it will work as a re-read for me. I may look into Jetsetters too, it's on my list, so may as well see if I can make it work this month to get us some extra points. :)

Hello! My name is Abbey and this is my first (I think) Wheelathon! I played a lot more challenges in this group and others for the two years I worked in a steady office job, then this past July I moved to Lexington, KY USA to start grad school so my regular checking of Goodreads on my computer slowed a lot. I honestly still read the same amount, just lost the pattern of checking in on threads when I first got to the office since my schedule was no longer so routine.

I'm currently back home in Minnesota though (since March), working again at that same office job (it's my mom's office, and not in my field, but it's nice to be able to help her out) and wanted to get back into challenges and games! I missed them and hope to continue with regular play this Fall too. Otherwise I do the self-paced challenges quite often.

I don't have a favorite book, but have been re-reading a lot of books lately so hoping to get to my actual stacks of books and e-books that I have around my parents house, since the majority of my TBR owned books are still at my apartment in KY. Can't wait to challenge myself with some new books and recs!

FINISHED! Bad News Level - Spell it out (25+ books) in Message 45 (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

I'm in! Haven't decided books yet, but am looking forward to the challenge!

Colleen, FLOAB (for the love of a book) has a Game of Thrones one with open slots for season 2. So far it’s been low key, but exactly what I needed as life picks back up after the summer!

Thanks for being such great teammates, everyone! This was my first real team challenge and I had so much fun! (and am completely hooked on challenges now)

*will add link tomorrow, but shelf is updated*

I finished my “Three” book but can’t get on to my computer to link it until probably the morning. But I’ll add it to the books read and link later!

I could knock out “Turbo Twenty Three” for the book with a 3 in it! Stephanie plum books are super quick listens and my library has it available.

Devann, I had read today for task 2.3 about the drink, so not sure if my book got used for so,etching else, i but i submitted that completion for the task this afternoon.

Yes! The Bishop Aringarosa can be used for an "A", Audiobooks make it hard to determine some of the name, I didn't realize the bishop's name started with an A, so thanks! I update it the Books Read thread with the characters.

I think Michelle has 4.3 now, since I grabbed 2.3 for a book with a drink on the cover, so I think she was shifting her drink book to the dinner item one.

Michelle - It looks like one of my books I'm about 60% done with on audio has cup of coffee on it, so if you haven't done that one for 2.3, I can help out there too! I forget to look at the covers of my audiobooks enough, so I didn't see that until just now.

I'll finish The Da Vinci Code in 2 hours, so that can cover our "D" if still needed!
