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

I think I need to go back and check your listing with the spreadsheet.. there seems to be some change in the sequence we have added the books.

We can definitely use it for P (Ponybony Curtis) or S (SE Hinton).

I will get that U done. Plus I am about to finish The Color Purple for either a S or A (if we can consider the article in T, then we can have the third spelling complete as well)

So now, we are twice as spiritual :P

I had a question and since I wasnt here for the first week, kindly enlighten me on this.

Why is the division of members in teams a little off ? Some teams have 9 players, we have 7, some 8.. am I missing anything here ?

LOL, Rebecca ! :D
I actually like the place your book is set in, Quauhnahuac ! :)

We have got 24 books this week, 6 more and we will continue our sequential upward progress per week (24 in I, 26 in II, 28 in III).

I am gonna try and finish the two that I am currently reading, but both are hard reads.
Utz is tough to understand, The Color Purple makes me emotional.. uff !

I have a couple of books interchanged in places, but overall the spreadsheet and Abbie's list (Amy's updated one) match !

The spreadsheet is updated within hours / minutes of any book entry here (as I have it opened up in both my work and personal computer, 24*7 :P) and that was the reason it was set up to assist Abbie in her tight schedules. So, if in need to to get updated on, kindly refer to that.

Also, to add to Amy's aforementioned list, we have a U to be completed in the 2nd read through !

I have updated the spreadsheet, until your entry, Amy !

Damn ! So less time, so many books !

My work load and working hours have been really bad as well this week.. by the time I reach home and grab a book, I end up sleeping on it :P

Will keep up with you guys though ! :)

Congrats Spandex-wearing people on attaining the first step towards Spirituality :P

As I said somewhere else, this challenge literally makes me sweat towards the end of the week.. and with champion team-mates like you all, I better brace myself up ! :)

Two more rounds sounds good ! So atleast they might increase the target points now !

They should extend the limit to say 4000 or 5000.. that will give teams a fair chance.. and more fun for readers like me ! :)

Oh no ! Its just now that I have started enjoying this game..
