Trinia’s Comments (group member since Mar 29, 2015)

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

I finished The Gunslinger and have updated the spreadsheet.

Progress so far for Labor Bonus:

Read 5 linked books (i.e. Title Relay).

◈ Read 1st Book ---Search the Dark (Fandury)
◈ Read 2nd Book-- Dark Hope (Trinia)
◈ Read 3rd Book--- Hope Road (Jackie)
◈ Read 4th Book--- Road Brothers (Fandury)
◈ Read 5th Book--- Brothers ______ ( ???)

Free on Amazon 202 pages Brothers

If an easier connection.... I could also read Death Wish, to Follow Fandury's Unnatural Death. Your book would start with Wish...

Rules for the Labor Bonus are the same as the Olympic's Title Relay:
Cannot use articles in the title (A/And/The). And Last word is the same as the First word:
For example from our Olympics relay-
Book 1 Before I Die
Book 2 Die for Me
Book 3 Me Before You
Book 4 You and Me Against the World
Book 5 World War Z

So, we could do
1 Search the Dark
2 Dark Hope
3 Hope _______ (Hope Heals, Hope in a Jar, Hope Ignites, )
4 ----
5 ----

We can use different books if these don't work. However, the FIRST book must be #3 In a Series.
Twisted huh???!!!

Jackie wrote: "Trinia, I can link to your Dark Hope with Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy. That should be easy to link to also."

I think the First word in your book has to be Hope. I'll check into that just to make sure...

Jackie wrote: "I have a 700+ page book but won't be able to get it from the library until Monday. So I'm happy to take it unless someone has one that they can get to sooner."

Brave girl ;)
I'd take another but that last book took everything I had. I did enjoy it though!

Jackie wrote: "Question: On Bonus 7, does Title Relay mean that the title of the second book has to share a word from the title of the first book and so on? And in this case, the first book must be #3 in a series."

That is how I'm interpreting it Jackie. Fandury has a list above of books that are all #3 in a series. We can start to link after hers , with the book's First word being her Last.

So Far I have only found Dark Hope to follow her Search the Dark. I'm not sure if anyone has a book starting with Hope, but that would be a good start.

After The Gunslinger , I'll read for -Read a book with apple(s) in the title or on the cover.

@Fandury- I'm looking for a short book to link to yours. If others can link, I'll link to those.

Great job getting through it! Hate to say it, but it sounds boring :( Pick a fun one next! I'll get to open a new bonus.

Used The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo for Read a book where the main character is a writer.

Used Dark Matter for Read a Book that is 300-400 pages long.

@Alyssa- you are now eligible to read for bonuses.
We will "bank" the other books for bonus labors. I am hoping to open more bonuses soon. I can open another bonus when we finish another main Labor.

BRRRRrrrrrrrr! POLAR BEAR UPDATE!

Main Labors Remaining:
-Read a book with a book on the cover. --- Poongothai
-Read a book where someone works at a non-profit. --- Emily
-Read a book with a ghost. --- Tasia

Great Job team!

-Read books that have been marked "to-read" for longer than a year.----Gea
- Read a book with a "musical" theme. (Rockstar, Musician..)---Emily

I completed for our task - Read a book that's title starts with S.
Now to start Gunslinger for the Western book bonus.

??? Anyone reading a book that fits - Read a book where the main character is a writer. ???

I have completed Wizard's First Rule , which has completed Labor 2. We now have 5 Completed Labors. I'm starting the audiobook Stranded to close our Labor 1, it is a short book and I should have it finished today. We still need a Read a book where the main character is a writer, which has been unclaimed.
