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

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

I just finished and added Save the Date.
(aka One of the Brownest Brown Covers that ever Browned in Browntown ;D)

Yay!

Since Save the Date “starts” today would it be better to finish and do the questi..."


For Save the Date, it doesn’t really matter what week you finish it, (as long as we match your read date to the right week in time for the countdown, obviously 🙂). So long as you do the BOM participation within a month of the BOM start date. Which is today in this case.
Personally, I will finish Save the Date in the next couple of hours for week 2, but not answer and DQs until week 3 has started.

Does that help?

About 7 hours from now:

Heh. I haven’t read more of it since my last comment but definitely no animals so far. ;)

Can you please add ME to your TT and Read shelves?"

Just fixed it!"

Thanks! I think your start date is still missing though?

@wren
Can you please add ME to your TT and Read shelves?

Awesome job everybody!

I’m about 1/3 done with Save the Date (Backroom BOM) but I am going out in a little bit for my partner’s birthday date night. Will most likely finish in the morning, depending what time our daughter comes home from her sleepover.
I guess finishing that book tomorrow is actually perfect since Day 1 DQs go up then anyway - right Jessi? 😘

@Allison, can you please shelve Angel Among Us? :D

Sounds good, everybody!

Oh and also!
“Snake” is a separate entry than “Rattlesnake”, and I am already reading for “Rattlesnake” because snake or rattlesnake seem to be the only animals that I can definitely do via Audio.

So, just something to keep in mind in case someone else was hoping to claim either of those.

Good point, Joanne! But we do need Ozana to finish at least 1 book during week 2.
@Ozana: I know you have been reading other stuff too, so whatever book or books you finish first is up to you. Just update your shelves whenever you get a chance :)

@M - Can you add Sabriel to your TT shelf please? 🙂

Goodnight y’all!

IT IS BROWN.

I have found a few books that work for tricky animals. will check for more while I am at work today."


Yay!

@People who have found/are looking for animals!

Please make sure you give us your justification (e.g. Quote in Text) so we can make sure it will count before you start reading for Week 3!
There is a bit of nuance to the rules -- like, no stuffed toy animals, no animal parts used to make clothes, etc.
*It has to be an actual animal, with the exact name on the list*

And yes, more than one person can read the same book if there are multiple animals from the same book. :D

Cool. I just asked. Let's see if we have any bites :)

Nobody on my F list has read it this year either.
@Jessi do you think it's worth asking in the Sin Bingo thread in Caps, or do we just go with Green Cover if/when wren reads it?

Seriously, Person 1, you *already have an account* and you would know that if you just checked your email FROM 2017.
And Person 2, why are you now asking me to create an account for person 1 when YOU ARE THE ACTING SYS ADMIN.

*headdesk*

Ugh my work is like a Parade of Idiots today.
I'm gonna go drink tea and read in the break room!

Oof! Capybara was on there but it (and 3 others) got deleted when I was mucking around with the rows. I am so glad you mentioned it! I have added those animals back :D
