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

New Maze Book needed!

Task: Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Suspense

We need it to have an even number of pages.

I think I love the strategy, and either option works for the first round. How about A10, B9, C8, D7, E6, F5, G4, H3, I2, J1?

We'll know better after we get the first attack done.

New monster! We spun Typhon again. Do any unused books meet this criteria?

Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive)
Read a book that mentions a volcano
Read a book with lightning on the cover
Read a book where the title that contain all the letters of ZEUS
Read a book where the MC is a father

I have a #6 in series I can knock out tonight. Just finishing Furies.

I’ll check my books tonight. Laura.

We slayed our first monster, and have a new one on the spreadsheet!

The book I just finished is short, but does have the ocean on the cover. It's only 184 pages, and it only works for going east. Thoughts?

I put it in overflow for now.

I'm juggling a few books at the moment for monsters/turf wars, but I can knock one out tonight if no one else has one for us.

I think we should continue south, but I'm hopeless at guessing this maze!

New Maze Task
Task: Read a book with the ocean on the cover

East (Even Number of Pages)
South (Title starts with N-Z)
West (Odd Number of pages)

I'll add it now, Lisa!
New task coming up.

Got it! My next Amelia Peabody works perfectly.

OOOH, I have The Lion's Game, and it has war as a MPG as well. It's huge, so I'll start it tonight. It will take me a few days to knock it out.

My goodness! 91 chapters seems like a lot. Let me check out my Patterson books when I get home.

Go Vivi! We are flying through the maze. Nice teamwork, everyone.

Yes, trying to figure it all out now!

I’m not home until tonight, but I do have a few 2016 awards on my tbr. I can get one done by tomorrow if Laura can’t.

Haha. I thought about doing a re-read of Fangirl as well for Turf.

I might be mis-remembering, but I think we can participate in BOM for books read prior to the month starting. Let's wait for clarification.

Beth, I'm dreaming up something for the fall that isn't a maze, but is a surprise task. More to come!
