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

Yay Team Ira! We moved back up to 1st!

Lust & Acedia aren't crazy far behind us, but Lust focused a lot on the Mini-Challenge, which slowed them down a lot on Week 3 page points, and Acedia (2nd) nearly matched us for Week 3 page points but lags behind on BOMs.
I would not be too complacent about some of the other teams either.

But! More proof that our "long books" and "everybody do BOMs" strategy is still sound... :D

Go Team Ira! Dies Irae!

@Suzanne, I guess you should start checking if the Rue McClanahan book has anything for the Week 4 mini-challenge! Like, a theft, or the phrase “hot-tempered” or some sort of catastrophe or something :)

Mine is done!
I did say it would be tight ;)

We are kicking butt!

Yup! A lot of short animal books happened to us. 😄

Looks yellow to me, too :)
Thanks Allison! We're putting these "extra" Animal books down for Sins, and will move them to Animals if/when we have enough for a collection.

Done!

@Rebecca - also can you please add Wilder Girls to your TT shelf?

Rebecca wrote: "Thanks for adding that for me. I also just added Gideon and Wilder Girls and completed the BOM DQ's as well. Hopefully, this boosts us a little."

Definitely! We might want to use Wilder Girls for an animal, to complete a collection. Can you give us a quote, just in case?

Let me revise that actually --
if Suzanne finishes hers, I finish mine (which is also almost done!), and Rebecca finishes Wilder Girls (which I only just found out she's been reading since she starting posting on BOM thread!), then we could potentially move a few other books around to get 6 more easy animals... in which case we would need your Squirrel book to reach a 7 animal collection!
So Allison, if you still want to, go ahead and finish that book so we're in with a chance. No guarantees though. :D

We have already just finalized the Easy collection.
We might still add a couple more easy animals but there's no way will make it to another collection of 7, so do whatever you think is best for the Squirrel one. It'll just be 5 points in either week. :D

Suzanne wrote: "I finished last night and I'm still working on . Hoping to finish that one tonight!"

Awesome!

@Rebecca and Ozana, haven’t heard from either of you in a while! Will you be finishing any books in time?

ETA
@Rebecca, I just saw All-American Adventure (James Patterson book) on your TT shelf. Looks like it’s ready to log, so will put it on the spreadsheets for you. Hopefully you have some more... :)

Allison Ann wrote: "I was hoping for no mini-challenge this week, just because I spend too much time searching for books and not reading and it's a busy week with less free time than usual. Ah well, at least mystery/t..."

Good for you re your favorite genre then, yay! You won’t need to search much for other random stuff. Just “read long” 🙂

Yay for another Mini-Challenge!!!
WRATH!!!

I definitely have a long book for the “Ecclesiastical” one. :D

In the meantime I will finish Grave Secret tonight and Lady Midnight tomorrow.. Though the latter will be a tight squeeze. 😅

"

Maybe.
What do all you others think?

M wrote: "I finished Outlander, could it be added to the sheet fir me please. I am not going to be home to my desktop until tomorrow."

I added your read date to the spreadsheet but you may need to check your start date. I think it may be collapsed with a previous reading.

That’ll be great, Kerri!

Hopefully some others will be checking in over the weekend too. Since I am generally online more during the week than on weekends, I sometimes forget that other people can be the other way around. :)

Definitely!

Welcome to the fast finger madness ;D
