Audrey Jane’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

The official spreadsheet has been updated. We currently have 295 points. I hope you've been enjoying all or most of your books!

Next week we're going to spell Shamrock

Finished by Courtney Milan
Characters: Ash Turner, Smite Turner
--> Letters: U, C, S, A

Tracking spreadsheet has been updated!

Yes, we needed a book with a purple cover. Imke's book will definitely work, but is pretty purple too. I just checked and it has been approved by the mods in the questions thread :)

About the 'U', I just picked up Unveiled by Courtney Milan which will work for U, C, A and maybe some others. We're doing great with the difficult letters.

Spreadsheets are updated! We currently have 225 points.
Jane, unfortunately I can't use your book The Man in The Crowd, since it only counts 155 pages.

Our spell-it-out word for next week is going to be Fuchsia.

@ Imke: I think the first two are the best, but I agree with you Seven Up looks the most orange to me as well.

For this week I'm planning to read (letters N,O,C,A,T) and (letters E, A).

Done! Thanks Karen :)

Team, we finished our first spell-it-out, and are well on our way to finish the second. We currently have 305 points, the same as last week.

Meanwhile our next word has been announced, we got Neon Carrot for our fifth week. There are quite a lot of 'O' but it didn't really pose a problem before for our team.

Finished by Darynda Jones - 18/04/2015 - 326 pages

Tracking spreadsheet updated until here. Doing great team, we currently have 6 of the 12 letters down. I hope you're enjoying your books!

This week has been crazy at work, so I'm afraid the beginning week is going to be again only one-book-week for me, sry. "

No problem, I understand. I'm having the same 'issue' at work, and it really affects my reading too. You're doing great!

@Imke: That's definitely pink. Thanks for covering the BOM for our team btw :)

Spreadsheets are updated! We currently have 275 points for week 3. A little under 7 hours to go before the deadline.

Indeed, we got Pink Flamingo again for the next round. Maybe all those 'I's will earn us the 'Toughest Letter' award.

Finished by A.G. Howard - 403 pages - 10/04/15
Characters: Alyssa V. Gardner, Morpheus

Thank you Karen, that's a great initiative!

Congratulations Agnès! That's wonderful, I'm kind of envious ;)

Tracking spreadsheet updated.

@Cristina: When posting your books, could you please include the pages of the edition you've read, and list the characters. I can only find Leif as a secundary character by doing a cursory search. It would help our team a lot if we've already one 'O' down ;)

I'm currently reading for another challenge. I'm not really into YA but so far so good.

Good to know Imke. I'm not in a hurry to pick it up, but I'm keeping it for when I miss Kate Daniels too much ;)

@Elinaly, your brown cover got accepted, so we're all good.

We currently have 315 points for our second week, and got back our 10th place in the ranking. Doing really well team!

lol Elinaly, they are cute. Yes we got Almond (brown cover) for our third week.

Works for:
M - character Kaldar Mar
A - author
I - author
E - series name The Edge "

Imke, this book is up next in the series for me. I heard that Fate's Edge is the weakest book in the series, and apparently the fourth is the best. I've been partially putting it off because of that. Did you come to the same conclusion?

Thanks Cristina :)

We now have 265 points for week 2 and moved up in the ranking by three places, we are 12th!

Posting deadline --> Countdown to week three

Indeed, we may add Cristina's books for the first week to our week 2 total points.
@Cristina: Can you post your wheelathon shelf or your finished books since the beginning of the challenge in this thread (since your account is set on private)? We could add them.

E?

Team, I updated all the spreadsheets. We succeeded in spelling out MAIZE three times and are ranked 15th. We keep a steady pace ;)
