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

Lauri,
I also enjoyed Go Set a Watchman. Even with all the hype about who wrote it, I thought it was a good read. Sorry your time zone leaves you behind at times. :( You are a very valuable player on our team!

Maritza, Happy Belated Birthday! There's an uncle like that in every family...teehee!

Great reading all!

Glad you had a good birthday, Cecily.

I had a busy day yesterday. Hopefully will get the spreadsheet updated today after church.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Happy Birthday, Cecily! Nothing wrong with a birthday weekend. You can celebrate by doing your favorite thing today, reading, and then top off the weekend with your cake and movie tomorrow. Just make sure it's a really good book re our conversation in above messages! :)

Me too, Cindy! I know just how you feel.

Back home to my laptop and boy oh boy team, you did great grabbing those new squares! Laura have fun camping this weekend!

Laura, if I don't see you on the spreadsheet this weekend, I'll post the read books while you're gone.

Oh good!

Laura, I think my banked book, Ivan works for the circus since one of the MC used to work in the circus and another MC came from the circus. They are elephants who talk.

Love our new board!

Cecily that was a good movie! I didn't know much about her life either.

I have humor with the book I'm reading now and should finish soon. A Girl Named Zippy.

It happens to all of us, Jennifer. I've been hard-pressed to read at e beach with 11 chatty friends! ;-)

Wow, so many of you are doing great on your goals! I've read 66/75. Last year I think I read 60 and no way did I think I'd get to 75. The challenges really help. :)

Battleship is fun with Jennifer, but don't let her fool you, she is doing great and will probably beat me in the end. Ha!

Excited to see our new card soon!

Good job, team! I've been able to chill a bit since I have read ahead. Guess I'll need to start trying to get my stop 8 book from the library soon. :)

Glad your new computer is working for you, Laura. I'm with you, Jennifer. I love my iPhone and iPad and would really like to replace my very old HP laptop with an Apple. I rationalize that since I've waited so long we can afford the Apple. We'll see.

Exciting about your laptop to be! Let us know which one you get!

Man, I cannot believe that darn shark ate my book! He's going to have some bad indigestion! That book was not good at all. I hope it gives him a tummy ache and he stays away!

Hi team!
Checking in from the beach. I finished my book for the square published in 2013 and added it to the Read books yesterday. It was not an easy read, so quite glad to have it done. Sounds like all squares are claimed so I'll be reading A Girl Named Zippy, which I'm sure we can use later. Rachel I am so glad you're safe. You seem very calm. I think I would be a mess if I was in your situation. I sure hope the fire gets under control and doesn't cause too much more damage. Keep us posted on your situation and stay safe!
