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

Book #14 is posted.

Personally I would defend that per the rules of the mini challenge it states

◈ You must read the book listed in the recommendation: series substitutions are not permitted.

They listed the omnibus.

Either way for next week I am pulling out a bunch of space opera and waiting for a ruling

I have the edition listed.
I am also a bit of a Tolkien fanatic and have multiple editions published between 1960 and 2015.

I have been going over the recommendation list for next week and just checking on one thing. The copy of Lord of the Rings listed is an omnibus version (books 1-3) is that correct?

I marked books #11 and #12 as read, will have #13 later tonight and #14 by tomorrow morning

Update: My books are good to go for when it is time. Looking for others I can throw onto the list

Update: I have 1 chapter left of books 11 and 12 and I should be ready with book 13 by tonight

I should add that I don't own an TV, so I read in the evenings and listen to music.

Yes I have a time line. Reading all but the last chapter of each one until the day needed and then posting. I can cover 1000 pages a day while I am laid up. If you would like me swap out I can but I am into the first one already,

Perfect. :)
If GR allows, can you fudge the read date to 25 Nov?
Wren, I think that would be good for your ..."

I can to that in a couple of hours

(Hi team, I am back! Hehe, we had 38 books again :D)"


I finished is about 30 minutes ago, approx 1:30 pm pacific time

My apologies, I didn't see this earlier. I finished my last book and we can use it for next week

Yes, I broke it earlier this year and I tripped over my cat and re-broke it. Also FYI for Jessi and Alysa I sent you both a PM about this week. I didn't want to put it all here

I know I can read a ton next week. my stay-cation isn't really about relaxing. It is me being a clumsy oaf and re-breaking my ankle. so, reading time galore.

I still have a bunch of big books left on my shelf. I will post later with what I have.

Canada says "Thank you for the thought but no thank you" and sends the germs back. (with a box of timbits and some tea)

Having a stay-cation this week so I am adding one more to my list. This will put me in for my max amount of books and I hope this helps us stay in the lead.

I also cannot update the spreadsheet via phone. would someone please update the sheet to say The Light Bearer as read for today.

I finished my last book for the week. Woo Hoo!!!

Just and FYI for the Captain's, I added my books to the spreadsheet. One book I am reading is on the very bottom (line #62). You will see why when you check. I really didn't know where to put it.
