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

Hmmm...just read preview for Dog Songs and it's poetry. I don't know if we then need to go with the word count. It would be a really fast read, but maybe too fast for the rules. How does that work, Laura?

Here are some possibilities that continue the Fighting Love>>>Love That Dog relay.
Dog Songs>>>Songs of the Humpback Whale>>> Whale Talk

Do these sound good to anyone? I've read Songs of the Humpback Whale and it was good.

I could also read The Ersatz Elevator for #6 in a series. It will read fast."

Great.. we almost have that task all claimed!"

Awesome! I'll pick it up at the library tomorrow.

I would like to, if that's ok. It's ready at the library, so I could pick it up on Monday.

Laura,
I could also read The Ersatz Elevator for #6 in a series. It will read fast.

Looking around online...how about Love That Dog to link with yours, Maritza? It's got a lot of poetry, so it will read fast. There are a lot of books that start with "dog". BTW, are we allowed to ignore articles in title relays?

Fighting Love
#2 in series to start a relay
This should be quick book."

I have First Comes Love, but "love" is on the wrong end of the title. :(

I finished Ruby and will add it to the banked books on the ss now. Wow, what a book!

Looking to join up on a title relay with some of you if possible. Please post any titles you have. Goodnight!

That's odd. Bet you did it faster the second time around!

Ma..."

No worries. I missed that Maritza had taken #1 in the chatter. I don't have any better books for relay right now. I'll wait and see what others post for options.

Ok. I'll just bank Ruby then to be safe.
Instead I can read #1 in a series with The Onesies, Fall which is part of a published series. Is that ok?

For Labors 28 I need your advice Laura to see if my book, Ruby works. On GR under the author bio it says, "She is currently completing the second book in the RUBY Trilogy. " I searched and can't find where the 2nd book has yet been published. Would this qualify as #1 in a series if #2 has not yet been published? I'm guessing the answer is no, but thought I'd check.

Correction: Valley of the Moon

I don't think any of these are part of a series, so maybe the don't work?

Edit to above post: I don't think any of these are part of a series, so maybe they don't work?

A few books I have for title relay:
The Girls
Lilac Girls
First Comes Love
Ballet of the Moon

Good morning team! I slept in (late night) and I can't believe how much has happened since yesterday when I last checked! We are buzzing along now! My very old computer died on me yesterday, so we bought a new one. Exciting, but I won't have it for a few days while they transfer files. I do not like working on my iPad for GR. I am almost done with Ruby. I have a wedding shower today, but should be able to finish it today. I'll then check back and see what's left. Have a good work day, Maritza and happy weekend all!

Do plurals work? I found "butterflies".

Thanks. I'll start looking through some of the books I have.
