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

I will be a back up for Judith with Flava Flav

Looks like it might be too late to volunteer for DQs, but it not, I'll volunteer for Team Flava Flav!

I have the Paperwhite and when I click on the three lines, AKA the hamburger, the "Go to" comes right up at the top. Thanks for mentioning it! I hadn't even looked at that. Mostly I just bookmark when I stop, but it has some great other info too!

Hi team!
I've missed all these comments the past few days and I'm not sure how since my settings are to be notified when people comment, but anyway glad to catch up with all of you!

Judith, I have three books left...I should be fine to finish.

Karen, sorry you're having medical issues in your family. As Judith said, don't worry about your reading. We'll be able to cover you, until things are more stable.

You all gave me a big laugh this morning with the eye candy and banter! Even being from the US the first thing I thought of for Mr. Bean, was the English fellow. That is one scary picture to pop up on my screen!

Keep the humor coming and the reading going! We're doing great!

Exciting!

Excited that everyone from our team is now here! The spreadsheet is looking great and getting filled in even before we start. Way to go team!

A bit about myself. I live in VA on the east coast of the US about 100 miles away from our nation's capital, Washington DC. My husband and I retired 6 years ago and we have have 6 grandkids living within 20 minutes of us. They all keep us hopping and hopefully young! Our youngest daughter and her brand new husband live in Colorado. Every winter while our kids were growing up we took them skiing out West, so she chose to live there to be able to ski more often. Lucky duck!

Sonia, we were fortunate enough to spend almost 2 weeks on holiday in your gorgeous Portugal. We did have a few days of rain, but the remainder of our time the weather was glorious! Loved all the phenomenal tile in your cities! We were able to hear Fado in a few restaurants and clubs. I wasn't aware of that singing, but we all loved it!

Nice to have a captain based outside of the US to cover for Judith and me while we're sleeping!
Looking forward to getting to know those of you who are new to me!

Hello, Team!
I’m Nanci, one of the co-captains. Judith and I have teamed up a number of times over the years and I can tell you we are all in great hands with Judith leading the way! Sonia, really looking forward to getting to know you, along with some others I haven’t played with before!

Agree, Nanci. Both me and my 7-year-old son love it and can sing it at the top of o..."

Love it, Melindam! We have singing and dance parties with our kids and grandkids often! Laughter is the best medicine!

My gfs and I have sung karaoke to Tina’s “Proud Mary” a number of time! Perfect song for karaoke!

So I got a notice to join the Captain's thread. I clicked on the link to join while on my phone and now I can't seem to locate it. Can another captain or a mod please PM me the link? Thanks!

I just now got the October newsletter and I'm so excited to join in the fun! Sure glad I got the notice before the Oct 2 deadline. Not sure how I didn't get a notice earlier, as I would have been bummed to miss it. I played Wheel once before (Wobble) and it was a blast! Excited to see which team will be mine!

Excited for the next challenge, whatever it is! They're always great!

Here is the link to the teams for Clue. From here you should be able to find a way to contact Berit, the Mod, to see if they are accepting subs. We have a player who hasn’t shown up for our team yet, so guessing you could sub. I don’t have access to my laptop so sorry, I’m limited in what I can do.

Now Team Clue is starting. I'm on the Bachelorette team. Anyone else playing?

A bit late, but thanks for writing the story...good job!

Done! I realized after I was in bed that I never did my review or put it on my shelves. Wouldn't want to miss out on those points!

I did? Thanks! :) Well, maybe that makes up for slacking in this challenge this..."

Vicki, so sorry RL has been so rough. Hoping things will change for the better sooner rather than later. But geeze, you did it again with posting all your read books...way to go! The word "slacker" does not apply to you at all! :))
