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

Just finished What Alice Forgot. Another enjoyable, entertaining read by Liane Moriarty. I'll add it to Read thread to go into the bank.

Lauri, hope the bad weather passes you by and you keep your power so you can read to your heart's content. I love it when there's a storm of some sort and I can smell my crockpot meal simmering away!

Then that should work, right Laura?

Amanda is reading a book for the TV square, so we're set for that. I'm sure your book will be used for a future square, Jennifer. :)

Jennifer, your square was to read a book that was made into TV, not movie. Can you or someone else read something quick that has been made into TV?

That book is one I brought with me on our trip to read. Was it good?

Not again! That shark is going to get food poisoning! That makes two books he's eaten and neither one was very good. Even listening to it was tedious. Glad you found something to replace it.

The Zoo Keeper's Wife
Date: September 1
Snow leopard square because the book is about a zoo and snow leopards are found in zoos. Also, this zoo has endangered animals and the snow leopard is endangered. The snow leopard is found in Russia and part of the story involves Russia.

I finished the snow leopard book. I'll add it to the read thread.

Loving all the bonus points!

Hooray for you, Margaret! I can totally relate, since I'm not a speedy reader either. In RL yes, but compared to all our super readers here, no way!

Lauri, please don't get discouraged about not getting to read for a new square. I know it's fun to get a square to complete, but those banked books are filling squares too. Next time if I get one and you don't, I'll give you mine! Mwah! <3

I agree; prefeed the shark!

Baha, Amanda! Start looking, but don't get distracted!

Not sure priest and Jesus are a close enough connection. Anybody see a book they would like to read from that team shelf? I'm on my phone (traveling again!) but I think that would give us more options.

Karen, walking dead works as a connection to mummy in my mind.

Anybody else have something better for mummy?

Laura, I'm listening to The Zookeepers Wife. The snow leopard works because it's endangered and they have endangered animals in the zoo. Also the snow leopard lived in Russia and even though the zoo is in Poland, some of the story takes place in Russia. Is that a strong enough connection?
