bamaace83 ’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm working on getting through my first book. Real life has a habit of trying to get in the way but I should be able to finish it tonight. Has anyone else read The Alice Network. It's pretty good so far!

It's okay. We worked really hard and did a great job!

Woohoo that means we made both words!

Good job! We have a little under 9 hours. We got this. :)

How we doing on the rest of the letters? I think we have a very good chance of getting the two words!

How it fits: Main character named Hannah for letter H

I've put two books in the planning sheet that I'm planning on reading this week. Still working on my third book to pick. I'm not sure exactly how to add up my points though. I'm not very good with spreadsheets but I marked the things that I think they go with. I also need to take the time to see if any member from another team has read the two books.

I'm working on An Amish Second Christmas with a main character Hannah that will work for H. I can also find a fast book tomorrow afternoon for N that can be quick and easy to knock out that word also. :)

How it fits: Letter O

I’m good with either word. I’m almost through my O book. Do we think we could do both?

Sounds good. I’ll take the letter O for sure.

Should we try for one of these words: only, month, from?

I'm in the same boat. I'm doing lava and turf wars. I'm glad one is ending soon so that helps with this one. I'm also doing pass the parcel in another group but that's just one book a week and I've been able to fit that in. I have a hard time with the Australian time zones but I usually can figure it out. I haven't picked my books yet but I'll sit down this weekend and see what I can come up with. I'm kind of waiting for the next turf war list so I can see about using books for more than one challenge. Oh yeah, Louder than Life was amazing. I still want to do Rock on the Range sometime. My husband works almost every weekend which makes going to music concerts difficult but he made an exception for this one last weekend.

Book: Where the Crawdads Sing

How it fits: Letter W - Previous Book of the Month

I'm halfway through Where the Crawdads Sing and should have it finished tonight if you want to take a different book for spell out. I think June was working on a B book but I'm not sure how far along she is. Sure, what letters should we work towards for a spell-out word?

I'm working on W. I think time ran out to get it done the first week but don't we have this second week? What zone should we work on next after we finish Brown?

That's my shelf. We were at Louder than Life in Louisville. It was wild and so much fun but I'm so exhausted. It was high 90s every day and so much dirt and we were on high air alert. My favorite bands were Halestorm, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and Godsmack. There were some awesome shows going on. Eeek, let me go see what I said for books. I think I said 3 a week also and I've been averaging 3-5 because of a couple other challenges also but I'm going to try to read longer books which will be good.

I'm still here but just been a crazy busy week with work and a three day music festival so I'm behind on the chat boards. I'm hoping to figure out my books the next couple nights. :)
