Michelle’s Comments (group member since Sep 19, 2013)

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

Greta, I am going to slot Harry Potter in the "something catches on fire" task for when Hermoine sets Snape's robes on fire during the quidditch match

I think I didn't use it because you posted it after the deadline, so we should be good to use it here! The date read is 9/10.

Oh, I meant Nothing to Envy. I thought we could use that for the winter task because there is snow on the cover. What do you think?

OOOOH! We could also use it for MC is a writer since the author is a journalist, too. Either one.

That would put you at two so you can read for bonuses after you finish Uprooted.

It looks like we can use it for title more than one color, too. Let me move some things around for us.

Sally and Nancy, did you finish these books before or after BINGO? Hard for me to know because of the time zone difference:
Krakatoa
Secret Agent Mummy

If it is after I would like to find a place for them in the sheet.

Kirby, I am looking for a spot for your book now. Just need one more before you can work on the bonus tasks!

I think Unbroken would be great to cover inspirational and then let's use HP for labor 4. I think that one will be harder to fill.

I could probably do that one bonus where you need to read three books with similarities by myself, o..."

I would like to complete as many bonuses as possible. As soon as each of you have completed the two book task requirement, please feel free to work on whatever fits your books.

And remember that page counts don't impact points (unless it's a task requirement), so if it is over the 100 page minimum, we can use it! Read, read, read.

I'm on my dinner break at work so I might not have time to come back to the thread before tomorrow. I'll stop back in after I get up tomorrow.

I had one for mentally damaged that I'm reading now - I popped it into the spreadsheet when you posted the link"

That's good. As long as we know where else we can use things it gives us flexibility. I won't submit until we have more things completed and filled in.

Please, please, please: go back and fill in anything you finished after the BINGO deadline first. Those books should take priority. Also we don't get points based on page counts, so those of you who can knock out a bunch of shorties, let's do it. Just be sure to communicate where it will work so we can maximize all of our books.

Will that count for name and title? She is also mentally disturbed..."

If her name is Rage, then yes. Use it!

I was thinking we could do like we did for Bingo. Claim but list where else it would work so we can move things around.

I think Labor 6 will be harder to fill. Let's use it there.

Here you go!

I filled in a couple of our read books to tasks I thought might be more challenging to fill for us. Feel free to move around, though!

Ok, let's try this.

Since we can't move things once submitted, we can fill in on our bingo planner and move around as needed.

I'm awake now and trying to get us all sorted out. Give me a few minutes to get coffee in my face. I worked late and am working late again tonight.

Oh good. Thanks! I work until 1am so I wasn't sure yet.

I will need to double check, but I think the books have to be finished after the event starts. I'm still at work so I can't be sure

Hey team, I have to go to work and I am also working the late shift tomorrow. Hoping the rules / details post to you all while I am out. I'll come back in tomorrow morning to see how we are doing. In the meantime, I'm sure Stacie and Greta can get us organized and you can start claiming tasks!

Rules should be coming soon! I know it's a two-book per player requirement, so we need to plan strategy ASAP.

I will submit our final bingo squares now so we have a few additional points for that event.
