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

I just finished Darkfever but I am extremely unlikely to finish my O book.
I’m going to take it out, so y’all can more easily see the empty slot!

I’ve started my last planned book (still reading the 2nd to last as well) and hopefully I will finish it in time. This week is nuts!

Haha, ditto both Mary and Devann.

That is pretty impressive, Sammy! 👏

After being so productive during Round 4, I feel like I am so slow now. But at least I have finished 3 of my 6 planned books so far and a good chunk into the next.

I am finally going back to working part of my time in my actual office this week, which means I’ll have part of my commute reading time back... So we’ll see what happens. I might be too anxious to concentrate on reading on the subway. :/

If the book it good, it'll be hard to read slowly. If the book is not good, it would be hard to read fast.

The struggle is real!
:D

Welcome, Shane!
Fellow booklover, fantasy-lover, pasta-lover... and Scorpio. I'm November 5 :)

No worries, Chava! This BR was your idea and we don’t want to leave you behind. We’ll see how things go. :)

Just double checking with you. It looks like, from the book description, there ..."

Definitely. Confirmed also by searching the hardcover in Amazon. :)

Split the difference: 3 chapters a day?
Including the epilogue that's 27/3 so we'd finish in 9 days.

BTW, I removed an E book that I might not end up reading, and moved something else into that E slot -- a book that had previously been down as an S.

(If I change my mind again, the removed book actually works for both E and S too :D)

Me too! I am so looking forward to this...

Talk about defeating the purpose! Silly GR developers. 🙄

Yeah it sounds like Command+G on Mac is the the same as Control+F on a PC.
I can't do it from my iPad either, but I tend to toggle between iPad and PC in general.
I don't really like Macs but I like my iPad... for many things though definitely not all!

Re the "other" tag search method... In case anyone wants to try it, this is the best thing I've seen explaining that other thing I mentioned (the one that almost always times out!):
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I've seen it circulated around quite a bit. Maybe GR servers used to be more reliable?

You have read so much for Wheel, I bet a lot of your books were tagged for whatever we needed in each round, but buried so far in the list that you didn’t get that far, lol.

Laura wrote: "It’s not so bad if you use the search feature."

Not sure what you mean by search feature. There is that thing where you can search a particular book for a particular tag, but GR times-out on that like 99% of the time.
So I always try that just for giggles, and then still end up having to just go thru the 100+ pages doing Control+F
:O

Lol, “welcome” Sophie! Congrats on becoming a Mod!
I don’t think I ever did an introduction post here either. Maybe I will fix that soon too, though my excuse isn’t as good as yours :)

I just randomly found a copy of Surfacing on the book swap shelf in my building’s laundry room. So that will probably be my next Atwood book.
There have been a whole bunch of great books down on that shelf lately. I wish I knew which of my neighbors has such similar taste!

Laura wrote: "I’ll take a look, Geri."

I took the liberty of fixing the problem:
The formula was missing from cell L-25 (in Geri's finished book, The Space Between Worlds)

ETA: formula was also missing from cell L-18 (your Thinking Racehorse). That was the only other one.

There's another O book that I could maybe read if I end up having time... or if I drop the BOM.
It's Parable of the Sower. Just for fun I went through over 100 pages of tags, and found both Spring (1 tag) and Nature (2 tags). So random. I think I saw "Sky Fairy" in there pretty early in my search, and was like WHY SKY FAIRY???
