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

New bonus! Check your books, ladies!

Shelby, you have a few new ones. Will any of them work for the new bonus tasks?

Ok, really going on my run now. Back later.

Oh hey, forgot to tell you all I got approval to use flowers as a party decoration, so we can use Sally's book with flowers on the cover to complete that task!

NICE! Go go go!

Berit, he is a journalist in the Cat Who books, and he is older, but not over 65. I was reading a Hercule Poirot Agatha Christie book for that one. I can move my next Cat book to the writer slot so Lisa can take #9 in series.

Off for a run. Update after I get back!

Ha! Sounds like a good one.

I moved some books around and used Louise's for the 500+, Stacie and Lisa's for their read but not slotted, and we are done with 7 labors and our third bonus!

Ok, rearranging some things to get us done faster. I'll update the sheet as I go.

If we have a book with a weapon on the cover in our banked books we could submit that bonus.

Sally, I have you down for The Liar (shower book). We also need a book with a party decoration on the cover and a 500-600 page book since Jennifer has been down with migraines and said she probably won't be able to finish.

If you have a book with a weapon the cover we can finish that bonus early, too.
Or if you have a book that is 10+ in series, you can grab that spot from me. I don't mind.

Yes, because she has Harry Potter down as her second read and I know she is working on that one.

Getting ready to update our spreadsheet with our latest reads.

I have been SO busy at work. We had over 200 people in line this afternoon. It was bananas.

I will be reading Love Letters, Berit. I'm planning to start it tonight.

Berit wrote: "Don't know why, it is on my shelf my red date is September 19?"

No, it finally loaded. Spreadsheet glitch, maybe? Sorry about that!

Berit, your second horror book isn't pulling into the spreadsheet. Can you double-check date read and wobble shelf for me?

Never mind! It finally loaded!

Same for Jennifer--still not seeing your mythology book.

We aren't sure how the extra books will be used in the final event yet! We'll be creative and use as much as we can for this one and hope these books work for bonus, and if not, it's all good. :)

Jennifer, I have one that I am reading for Olympics that I can place there for us.

Hope you feel better!

Jennifer, did you get the mythology book shelved with date read yet?

We only have 3 tasks for the Labors not yet claimed! If you have something that will fit, feel free to grab it.
