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

I havent made it to Knoxville at all. I need to do a better job at running around the state.

Now that we all know what we are reading- how is everyone liking their books?

I'm almost done with Promise of Blood and loving it!

Welcome Caly! I'm in Nashville, TN. With this team that makes us next door neighbors :)

Finished, Whew. Time for bed.

"Hollow Gods over 1000 pages (please don't pick this one)" hehe.

Maybe for the page jumping event. lol

Broken Promise(Karin)/Promise of Blood (Rose-longer book, but I've been dying to read it))/Blood: The stuff of Life (Ray) also works

Though Rose is in both, so I think they can't be in the same heat?

I wouldn't mind that. But Trust no One isn't mine.

Finished


6.30.16

We can use them to start of each leg though, so I would still list them.

I forgot about the article rule. So mean! lol

We should all just read cozy mysteries. They always end/begin in death, mystery, or murder. lol

My starting list/books I'm staring at on my shelf

The Horse and His Boy
The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued their Bosses and Changed the Workplace
The Player of Games
Promise of Blood
The Court of the Air
A Wild Sheep Chase
The Constant Princess
I Can't Tell You-really short

So...when do we start planning? The books I can definitely read in the first event are Vicious (probably not helpful, I think there is a book called lovely Vicious if a..."

Vicious! I love that book. :)

Ha. I have no idea where we will end up. It's hard to tell with the sinking ship points taken into account.

Finished a very short classic I've been meaning to get to


139 pages

I'll be finishing up one from non-fiction, but that's probably it.

I'm sorry for your loss Brianna :(

:( Sorry for your loss. Sending internet hugs and icecream

Finished




You guys are making me think I should go back and attempt Darkfever again. I tried to read it at one point, but the dialogue style in the first few chapters didn't click with me.

Sam wrote: "When will our next guesses be?"

Sorry, didn't see this. Tonight or tomorrow (we are waiting on the window to open). If anyone has any suggestions, we would love to hear them. Right now we are just thinking we might fill some of those obvious ship shaped holes and see what that gets us :)

I just filled a task :)

Sam wrote: "Woack guys, in the ranking we're down to 13 now? :O"

While I would encourage everyone to read like lightning, some of our drop might be differing tactics on assigning books by captains.
We don't get credit until we input two books for each task, so we've been holding back on entering some until we have optimal placement. We also get new tasks soon (the last set of picks), and we don't want to place bonuses before those are known.

Expect many teams to fluctuate wildly in the last days of the challenge.
