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

Finished Death by Silver last night.
GR updated, spreadsheet not -- bad internet at the moment! Someone else feel free to update it.

Ooooh! What is it?

I fond some too, but they're things I don't own and there are holds on library copies (e.g. Girls of Storm and Shadow)

LOL, see, it's good we have Cat here to tell us these things. When I saw Sarah mention "tree" as a genre tag, I started to sweat!
Like, knock on wood, quickly! :D

Marie (UK) wrote: "I am hating these genres I don't have anything obvious for this round - sorry"

LOL I have been loving all the genre tag bonuses. I've had so many TBRs that fit each one that I've consistently had trouble narrowing down my choices. :D

Finished both my books since Thanksgiving, but haven’t been online to post. Updating spreadsheet now! 🙂

Anyone else not receiving notifications all of a sudden?
Looks like all my other discussion notifications are working, but not this thread, which is now completely missing from my notifications history even though it still says I'm "following this discussion"
Hopefully it's just temporary GR madness.

Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow people-who-celebrate-it!
I'm halfway through both of my current books and hoping for some good reading time in between family stuff and eating myself to death. :D

@Danielle that countdown thing is awesome! Spreadsheet Queen!

Yeah, for a time I had a brain fart and forgot that this challenge doesn't have a 100 page minimum. Oh well, I shall look forward to reading it at Xmas!

Finished Wyrd Sisters and updated spreadsheet.


I have this paperback that looks totally Red in person but somewhat more orange (and black) on my PC screen. What do y'all think?:

Colour: Red
Genre: Mythology"


PERFECT TIMING!!!
Thank you!

Incidentally, I read Needless Street a while back and I loved it, but apparently I'm in the minority, LOL.

I know we can't bank books finished in Round One and use them for Round Two, but I thought it's only the Finished date that matters -- as usual in challenges, right?
Like if I start a book today and finish it next Thursday, it's a Round Two book.
So it'd be good to plan some weekend reading around just starting something that fits Round Two bonuses ;D

Any idea how far in advance of each week we'll find out the Word for the following week?

Finished Sunreach last night!
Now on sheet :)

Thanks Cat!

I should finish Sunreach tomorrow, if not tonight, and my Discworld book sometime during the weekend.
Is there a countdown timer for end of Week 1/start of Week 2?

✿~Danielle~✿ wrote: "I’m starting with Skyward"

Haha, I'm starting with Sunreach later tonight :)

I am halfway through the final story in the collection I started a long time ago and need to finish before Wheel begins…. It is by far the longest story in the book, dammit.
Cover is blue, too bad I can’t use it 😂

Darn. Well I’ll most likely read a different 10>tag Space Opera book, since the bonus is unlimited, and leave the blue covers to other people since we can only have 5.
I was excited about that book though! 😂

So… color cover question answered, but I just realized that even though my book has Space Opera as one of its top tags, that is still only 8, not the required 10, because so few people have read it. Ugh.

Maybe captains can run it through Captains Group in cases like this? I mean, this book is clearly a Space Opera. It’s a MPG on the new-style book page and presumably the old-style one too.

Got it.
Excellent.
Yay.
