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

Well, that completes our second spell-out.
Its been kind of slow this week.. but lets see how much we can rake up on the last day ! Open field now..

I am still fuzzy on the indefinite article usage.. and was hoping we would easily go into the third spell-out.

.. but you right, I am getting ahead of myself here.
Let me make the edits. Thanks, Cait !

Oh, how did you like the book, Erin !
Khaled Hosseini is one of my favorite authors ! :)

Just a T to go to complete the second spell-out.. and then we get into the home-run ! :)

Just one measly O.. thats impossible !
There must be a mistake in the last week's word. :P

B, L, T to go to complete the second spell-out !

Oh yes ! Oh yes !
I had voted for the Gladiator challenge. I have never seen teams getting merged after each round anywhere else and I totally loved it. Will be fun to see how that works out.

I am so gonna sign up for that and I want all you of on my team ! :D

Okay, I know I am going to bang my head against the wall as soon as I post it, but which is the challenge you guys are talking about ? I remember voting for a couple of challenges, but I cant recollect the names.

When are we starting ? Where am I signing up ?
Please take me along with you. Please ! *puppy face* :P

I know, Cait !

.. but I must be really a masochist, coz I am already into the first week of another challenge which is more or less on the same lines as this challenge.. and what more, we have to reach 20000 points in there.. that is going to take some time. :O

But, I LOVE this group of ours.. it has been truly fun 7 weeks for me.. and I both want and dont want the challenge to end. :P

Cait, I did log in your book.. but why did I log it in for the 7th instead of the 6th ?

Guess, I am actually burning out.
Phew, always happens with Wheel-a-thon with me.. amazing challenge but I end up reading twice, thrice as much as I ever read in the said period.

But we have one more week to go after this.. and we have done fantastically so far.. so lets end with a flourish ! :)

Did I miss anything ? Coz for the first time we have no books logged in, in a day, 06May2015.

Guess, real life is getting in the way for everyone. Or is it just a burn-out coz I know this challenge by the end of it really takes its toll on me.

Kelly, you love Kelley, dont you ? ;) :P

Kelly wrote: "K. I mentioned it. It shouldn't affect us though since it's not the last week."


Well, yeah. But I dont understand why should we be penalised for what we rightfully earned !

Moreover, it in a way affects us as the team ahead of us is exactly and only 10 points ahead. We can jump one whole position up coz of those 10 points !

Kelly, could you check.
Our spreadsheet clearly showed 2050 points at 9:55 pm (EST) which is 5 minutes before the deadline.

The weekly results are up and we are showing 10 points less.

Another stoically played week, Bloodstoners ! :)
We continue to pave our path through the toughest of the words.. we all should pat our backs once for that ! :)

Here are both the spreadsheets for everyone's reference :
