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

Finished one that fit ~100 to 175 pages today… down to 2 tasks!

Hey Teddie!
Sorry , was on a cruise and now just catching up on work…. I’ll look at the tasks and find a book to fit!

Yeah, I enjoyed the books but they are by no means Harry Potter or Hunger Games material for me.

Teddie wrote: "Awesome! Thanks Trinia :) I read the first 2, but the second didn't thrill me (I think I'm the exception) so I haven't read the last one yet. How are you liking it so far?

I have been having fun l..."

That’s funny! I know that sheep task is alway tricky… I was thinking of the James Herriot series all creatures …. Etc

Hey Teddie

I completed MARES OF DIOMEDES with finally getting that last fire on cover task.

Have you read that series yet?

I spun the wheel and got Polyphemus (Cyclops) - I don't think we've done that one yet.

Polyphemus (Cyclops) TASKS:
~ takes place on an island
~ character engages in some sort of trickery (your interpretation) ~ sheep AND people on cover
~ MC is a farmer

Just finished and can't find a place for it on the spreadsheet unless you think that is a rock on the cover . I think its an alligator but also an island (rocky)
Will look for a new book to fit a spot (probably fire since that task is lingering ) ;)

Yeah, once again disappointed. This was the first year my son was really into them, he was so sad. Called me crying, I said “son, you know how many times I’ve cried after a loss” he said “4”… yep…. At least they didn’t go all the way and lose. 🤪

I’ve been trying to work through these tasks a little more, reading has slowed down but I’m chugging along.

It’s hard because Mahomes is a Dallas boy , so my co-workers love KC 😡

Yes!!! Go Bills, got our gear on today. But dang our Texans lost… I was hoping we would play them over those Chiefs 😫

Hey gang! I finished off Danny Zuko but forgot to post and haven't spun. I can spin if needed... been trying to fill in those other spaces. No luck in multiple tasks with one book, so hard!
Will search more, work has been interfering too much!!!

Working on finishing Danny Zucko next

Happy New Year friends!

Finished Mrs Danvers , sorry for my disappearance.

Spun the wheel and got Dale Pearson (The stupidest angel) ~ Overly Specific Literary Monster Wheel

Tasks:
~ "ikea" in text
~ ":" in title
~ tagged "fluff" (at least 10 times)
~ MC visits a place of worship (church, temple, synagogue etc).

Judith - that was weird … does it show now? 😅

Just added my last one (99% sure I won’t get to another) to the SS.

A big thanks to Judith , Teddie and Lexi for putting in the hard work and to Ann and Michelle for their bonus reading.
Sorry I wasn’t around more for this game , crazy how one more day at work tilted my scales for reading time 😝
For those who celebrate Christmas have a joyful holiday season and lots of reading time!

yay! I should be able to focus again on our monsters... :D

Yes ma’am! Done, sorry thought I had added them 🫣

I spun Greek - Mares of Diomedes

Tasks
Fire on the cover
character gets poisoned (food poisoning is acceptable, does not have to be fatal)
Title contains all the letters of HERA
Goodreads rating between 3 and 3.5 (inclusive)

I updated the SS but wasn't sure how to add new monster. sorry!

Teddie, drinker of the bitter invention of Satan wrote: "Ok, I spun for Bad Romance and got:

Finished Carrie & Mr Big

Shall I spin?

Sorry I've been MIA... I've added the last of my books! hope I didn't go over my cap. Also, my notifications weren't coming through GR and their constant updates!!!!! GGGGGRRrrrrrrr!

Added a U book, sorry I haven’t been around more often.
I’ll work at updating more often…. Work should be way more manageable from here on out. 😅😜
