Alysa’s Comments (group member since Jun 27, 2015)

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

Finished and updated my last Round 2 book.
(It was slated for G, but if needed it also works for L, D, and I.)

Laura wrote: "Alysa, your page count has been added."

Great, thanks!

BTW, I'm almost done with my last book for this Round. Will definitely finish today.
After that, I won't be able to finish anything extra by the countdown, so I'll get a jump on my first Round 3 book instead.

It's tagged Winter, but if I can't make it fit the spell-out, I can't read it..."

Oh, nice! Thanks Cat!

Laura wrote: "I don't see any names in any of the reviews that fit."

Yeah, I checked that too. Maybe I'll ask around in Terminus thread in case someone else can think of a character...

Does anyone know if Spinning Silver has any character names that would work for BARBEQUE?
It's tagged Winter, but if I can't make it fit the spell-out, I can't read it for Round 3... :/

@Captains - can you ask a librarian in Captains Group to add a page count for the following Kindle book?:

It's 240 pages according to Amazon:

Laura wrote: "Yes, those are the same tags as this round!"

Dammit, I closed most of my browser tabs of stuff that would work, since it was kind of implied that we would not get the same set of tags twice, like, as part of not getting the same *word* twice.

Good thing I remember some of those books and I haven't purged browser history recently, but argh... :/

Finished #s 17 and 18:


Shivaree was a pretty good read if you like Southern Gothic horror (which I do). That's kind of this author's thing.

Poison Study was entertaining but I think my expectations were too high.

I am back and have finished 2 books, including 1 tagged.
I am going to log and update now :D

FYI team, I'll be finishing another book later tonight, which I can log in the morning, but then I will be mostly offline for a few days.
Will keep on reading and be able to log another book (or two) by the time I get back on Monday night :D

There's a Space Opera in my Rec post! :D



And the sequel comes out this summer, so if you read and like the first one, there is that to look forward to as well!

I don't read many thrillers either -- they usually tend to piss me off in some way -- but sometimes find myself attracted when certain locations are involved, and in particular Upstate New York where I spent most of my childhood, and some of my family still lives. I'm all "Let's see if it's realistic!" :D

Anybody besides me planning to do the July Adult BOM, The Sun Down Motel? It starts soon. I've been wanting to read it for a while :)

I haven't quite hit 26 books on this yet, so...


Gift card #1 of 3: extending challenge thru July 2020!

Everybody knows one of the best Tag-Finding tricks, right?

Replace XXXX with the tag you are looking for.

It actually looks like GR may have updated the functionality of this. Works even better than I remembered.
Super helpful! That's how I found like two dozen Round 2 tagged books on my TBR. :)

2nd book done
very cute childrens (50k words if you want it for wheelathon!) book. Should have read it years ago ;)

Oh good one!

Done! Outcast, updated on spreadsheet.

I have a little bit left of Outcast to finish in the morning.
My eyelids are closing. 🥱

I am having a small freak-out about which of my Round 2 book I should start first, and whether I try to do more tagged books instead of just 2-3, in case y’all have trouble finding stuff, but I will literally go sleep on it... 😴

I'll be done with mine in about 20 minutes :D

When you look at everybody's Books p/round av, it makes total sense how many books we still have unfinished though. We are like, "There's more than 24 hours left? No problem!" :D
