SandyL’s Comments (group member since May 11, 2015)

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

I'm trying to get reading done, but I've been stuck to the TV too much watching earthquake coverage. There was another bigger one on Friday night - again, we're too far away for damage but could still feel it pretty strongly.

Hey Suzanne
Did we ever figure out who is doing Charles Manson or Black Widow?

I know Megan! I read Helter Skelterk (about the Manson family) not long ago!

We're doing great! We've completed another spell out and we only need 2 more genre books. We've got several people reading for the genre, so we should be good even if someone can't finish. Awesome reading ladies!!

They are saying it was 6.6, but thankfully out in the desert where there aren't as many people.

I can get an audiobook about Andrea Yates on overdrive, so I can take that name.

OMG - we just had an earthquake that seemed to last forever! I think it was pretty far away from me, no damage or anything, but it just kept going!!! The dogs were going nuts!

Suzanne wrote: "Wow we're getting there! My two options for Black Widow are both books I think I'd like, so I'll take that one - but it is also fine if someone finds a black widow book - just speak up! Yay Sandy..."

If you want to take Black Widow, feel free Suzanne. One of mine is a re-read and the other is a short. I don't mind reading either of them, but I don't mind not reading them, either. :-) I have books for Freddy Krueger, Charles Manson, Michael Myers, OJ Simpson and Marie Antoinette as well, if it turns out someone doesn't like their book.

There was some talk in the captain's group about White Woman - it could also be the cover, like a woman white dress. There was a question about whether the words have to capitalized, but nothing was decided. So for now I think as long as the words are together it works. If that changes, Melinda or I will let you guys know asap.

Thanks Devann! I can do Black Widow. Nothing came up in my kindle search for Black Dahlia or Andrea Yates, and White Woman comes up with too many that don't really fit. I'll keep looking!

For those of you in the states, are you doing anything today for the 4th? My sister is coming over to BBQ, but otherwise I need to stay around to keep my pups calm - they don't like fireworks!!

I'm working on Black Beauty, Devann, and I've got a couple of others that are just over 200 pages I can read.

Hi Green Beauties!
Next week's planning sheets are added. The Wk4 Mini is for Melinda and I to use - if you have mini challenge words you can add them to the Wk4Books sheet in the last column. There may be some adjustments if we find we need another way to keep track. 😍

Wow - I go to sleep and look what happens!!!

I'll check my books to see what words I have.
