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

Ok, looks like we are god for Geese , not good for Turtle

finished that chapter! HA

ok, I proposed our question about animals.

Previously Plurals were deemed acceptable , so I asked for confirmation on Geese.
Also asked about Turtle, I have a feeling it may cause a stir because turtle is way more common than tortoise. Should be interesting, I'll keep y'all updated.

And Vicki , I'm not sure you should learn my iphone tineye technique.... lol. it doesn't seem quite accurate ;D what a difference from my tineye for your Girls book, and what Plethora got on her computer. Yikes!

I agree with the geese part, not so much about the tortoise as technically it is a different animal. Is this one for your green cover book?
I can’t ask at the moment, got to finish this chapter I’m studying. Putting my phone out of my reach... darn red badges telling me to open goodreads 🤣

I don't get how the .5 books are working. It kills our stats we read over that .5 but we don't get credit for .5 of a book ;D
So far it looks like we are all on target. So maybe hold off on extra books.

I'm not sure they are doing buddy reads this time around. I haven't seen any links or tabs for them. Usually there is a tab on the spreadsheet. Have you heard of them starting buddy reads? if so I'm in, because they give mega points!

The clock indicates the start of round 4, so we have up to that start time to post our books for this round, right? If I remember ..."

We have been posting our tricky animals, and listing others in case there are duplicates of the same. We can only use one animal per book.

Yes, you have time to post. Have you added your books to the tower shelf?
Thanks!

How is the team overall with book count?
I’m at 133% but notice there’s a bunch of us with 0%. I have an audiobook I could get through if we need more books, otherwise I’ll put it on hold.

Ugh, life seems to go that way sometimes😉

On the positive side, you have a new refrigerator :D

Vicki- my Tineye on my computer isn’t working either. I did it in my iPhone , which as we know isn’t reliable. And it showed green and blue. I think we can eyeball this one. To me it looks Green.

Finished my book for Echidna. It was a sweet memoir of an avid animal lover. I'd recommend it to any animal lover. I listed a few other tricky animals in my post of the book in case we have multiples.
I should finish my audiobook tomorrow, So far I found Bull Shark and Honey Bee (repeat). I'll keep listening for others in case someone else has a Bull shark too.

I’ll be reading 4 instead of 3, so that’s one extra 😊

I’m currently reading 2 tricky ones (1 each in 2 books)

Good ones!

I would think so. I still don’t understand the weekly count thing, because when we originally signed up they asked about our monthly count.

I just found a Bull Shark in a book I want to read! That will put me up to 4 this week. Anyone need extras?

Good idea Mary, I’ll make a list when I finish the book. I’ve been highlighting as I go along...
