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

Is there anything reason to not pick a book if possible that has the full last word as the start? I didn’t see that not being allowed in the rules. I know we already picked but if there was a title that started with Chronicles could we have read that? For example Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth.

Make sure you are accessing the Tracking sheet. You should have access to it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I also wasn’t able to find a Crete book that my library had or that my library had and didn’t have a long wait list.

I also picked up an Orange cover since it looks like the next book I had planned has a place that is already filled.

I've got three books I could read next. It is unlikely I'll be able to finish all three by the 15th, as I'm planning to read the backroom BOM, but I might be able to if they are easy reads. I'm going to start with the horns on the cover because it has been a while since I read an alien book and they are normally fast reads.
(author with Diatic)
(sent in Idaho) or
(horn on the cover)
If anyone knows that one of the other tasks is needed more please let me know and I'll focus on that one after Chosen By the Alien Warrior.

For Book Drop #3


Weapons
Silver text on cover or Killian has a sword that is mentioned a couple of times.

Shelter
Purple on cover

Food
White text on cover or three course meal p. 324 "fresh oysters in a lemon-wine sauce, lobster risotto with saffron, and Quebec duck roast in citrus hone with heirloom carrots."

Defense
Brown skin on cover or a longer book added to a wall.

After I finish I'm planning on reading which is by Mechthild Gläser and works for Author's name has a diacritic. I should note that this a book that has been on my TBR for a long time so it might be a DNF, so don't put me down for that task.

I'm reading another book that we can send as a supply drop. I'll likely finish it tomorrow. Then I'll see if I can find something that works for one of the leftover tasks.

I would say weapons and defense for sure. Then between shelter and food I don’t know.

For supply drop


Weapons:
Bow and arrows named p. 282 "gripped her bow tighter,"
Battle between sun witches and the zodiac wolves happens.

shelter:
purple cover

food:
white letters on the cover
food mentioned in the book "I even made your favorite potatoes." p. 263

defense:
brown on cover
Ayla uses magic as a defense for the zodiac wolves.

Welcome Ann! Nice to be on a team with you again.

When I have a break, I’ll add all the info so we can send.

If we want we can send bad. Won’t work for our mini. I haven’t added to the ss yet as I finished last night. Will have very similar reasons as the last book we sent.

For bookdrop:

Weapons: silver on cover with title & battle happens between sun witches allies and the shifters.
Shelter: purple on cover
Food: White text for author name on cover; bread on p. 118
Defense: brown skin on the cover; MC can make a shield of moonlight to defend against the sun witches.

Mini: bread on 118

It looks red at first glance to me.

My book Sun Crossed doesn’t work for our mini and but works for food. Would work for weapon 2x, defense 2x, food 2x. Shelter 1x.

If we want to send it to them I can pull reasons for everything. Seems like it might be a good one since it doesn’t fit what is left of our mini.

My book Sun Crossed could work for a drop.

I am reading a shifter series and it is not really fitting for well for the mini. It works for food and that is about it.

Not sure what others think but I would have said that landing/land wouldn't work based on game/games/gaming not working. I thought it needed to be a completely different word like There having Here as a word. Did I not understand the task correctly?

UGH! And here it turns into a YA novel. I'm actually rather sick of that trope now."

It is interesting you thought it felt YA too. I thought that but didn't put it to the origin. I was thinking it was the writing in general and that it didn't have a lot of depth. However, this trope play into that feeling.
