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

Paradise lost will be finished tomorrow. I read a short book today just debating if I want to use it. If I add it, where my book is currently crossed out, would you like me to add it there?

@Keli can you please put Dracula on your wheels shelf? Thanks!"

Sure thing.

Soz about Obedience, I probably got confused and messed it up. I think I was at work when I did this, so lots of interruptions.

I can have the John Scalzi book read by tomorrow or the next day at the latest and we can pop it in there. A quick search shows white is used.

I can’t use study for obedience. My fear was correct the only name I remember reading is the only one in the whole book! I was hoping it one of the villagers was named and it just passed me by, but nope. So that book needs to be removed. Sorry for any confusion. I don’t where Kaiju went. I can’t find it.

Something has gone a little funny with my books. I added a study for obedience but left much of the info blank because I am not sure it will work. I needed to find character names. But it has authors first name John next to it. The author is Sarah Bernstein. John was for The kaiju preservation society but I haven’t read that yet.

Go, Sammy! I’m hoping to hit my target. In the many years I’ve partaken in Closet, I think I’ve only ever reached my goal twice. I never counted the removed books, though. In future, I’m going to include these.

I appreciated the nuances of this book. Due to being a mom of 2, I may have understood and retained more of it had I read it back then, but I think I'm m..."

I really enjoyed this book. So sweet.

Awesome achievements, Mel and Tricia!

Also, I will have Dracula done day after tomorrow so, I can use that for epistolary format.

Jessica, I read Quarantine for w14, so I’ve popped it in there as I finished it yesterday.

Will someone be able to add it,please?

lol, you all have some good eyes. I was about to come on here and say I think I maybe put the wrong edition of Alba Díaz down, cos it says teal text. I double checked my edition and wouldn’t you know right at the bottom “a novel” in teal. I read the darn thing and never saw.

I’m going to move red sands to the next round. It would only work in R and all the food stuff for the mini is finished. I think it will work better for Jamaica. So that’s me this round.

Unfortunately, much ado is only 21k words. So I shan’t be reading that. I will search for another that works letter wise too. I’ll hit up Paradise Lost instead.

I fixed my edition of the Nightingale. I listened to the Audiobook, so 440 is the default count.

And I will take #14 with Quarantine. It’s jesus’s trek in the desert, so defo set in ye olden times

I am going to be reading Much Ado About Nothing if this helps. I can’t remember off the top of my head about plays.

Totally fair enough. But as is often said, don’t ask, don’t get.

I have a question about drinks, there is a line in Alba Diaz that says, “…trailing thin juice in its wake like blood.” Can this be used for drinks? It is red juice though not watermelon. And you probably wouldn’t want to drink it from a glass because it is referencing meat, but still red juice.🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you. I think this one of those books where the mpg is somewhat misleading.

The book isRed Sands: Reportage and Recipes through Central Asia, from Hinterland to Heartland. And if you read the reviews of the book, it shows that it is more than just a cookbook. The first section of the book, Spring, is 167 pages and contains 23 recipes, so I would say 46 pages of recipe format writing and pictures. The second half has a few more recipes to pages, there are 19 recipes to 115 pages. It is easily a 120 page book.
