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

I'll have Sommersgate House finished in a couple hours. I think we can use Elizabeth for the E. Even though she's called Lizzie throughout, she is called Elizabeth a few times.

I'm good with that.
I can get: 1 with a non-Caucasian main character with Shadow Rites and 9 with a character who lives on a farm/ranch with Flame in the Dark.

Little change of plans. I've stopped Naamah's Curse before I get too far cos I won't get it finished by Sunday night. I really don't want to reread 100+ pages, if I should try to use it later. But I will have Sommersgate House done. Thank goodness for audiobooks. I can do all the things I need to do whilst still reading.

Letters: S, K, A, J, F, D, P, R, L, V(Julia Fairfax, Douglas Ashton, Patricia Fairfax, Ruby, Lizzy, Veronika)

Sure thing, I'll get it finished as early as I can. I would've mentioned Knight earlier but I honestly thought I was going to dnf it. It can be real hit or miss with me and Ms Ashley. Hopefully we can use it for another word.

Because I finished this I won't get Clean Sweep done till tomorrow, which is for either an I or A.

I just finished Knight it works for the letters N or A (characters Nick & Anya).

So far out of 50 books I've removed 4 and read five. Only two have prove to be worth waiting for The Child Thief and Kindred, both really interesting well told stories. Though I only gave The Child Thief three stars, it wasn't due to lack of quality or narrative, it just wasn't my thing. I really enjoyed Kindred. When people talk about where they'd go if they could go back in time, my answer is always the same, I wouldn't. As a woman and a person of colour, no time in the past is a good time for me. And I think Octavia Butler captured the peril and powerlessness perfectly.
The other three books have just been meh. I read Poison and it was a fun entertaining read but it was good enough to make me part with money for the other two.
I hope the others are better.

If I can get Naamah's Curse finished by Sunday night, it's quite long, I can get the N too.

Sz2 complete. I just posted.
I can get the letters I or A withClean Sweep. I should have it done tomorrow evening about this time. I don't get much chance to read until after work.

I'll have it done by tomorrow night, it's only about 200 pages.

I got the okay from several mods.

I'll be reading
Poison letters S, P, W, L, D, G, F, B, Sarah Pinborough, Snow White (there are other characters, I'm sure, but they're not listed on the book page. I'll list them as i read, unless we use this for sz2

Clean Sweep letters I, A, S, D, E, C, H, M, B, R, W, G

Naamah's Curse letters M, B, J, C, N

I'm done. all on the s/s.

I have to read poison which applies Read a book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover and that contains the word POISON in the text which can apply to sz2.

And then I'll start poison for sz2.

I'm a little bit behind. I was reading Twenty thousand and turns out that letter was for N. Doh! But i still need to read it anyway. I'll have Guernsey finished by tonight for the S.

if we go to sz2 can I read for "Read a book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover and that contains the word POISON in the text" I checked ny book and it works.

My husband is away for a whole month, so I don't have to do anything but read and walk the dog. So I can get through way more books.

You all are awesome!!! Thanks Alysa, Lexi, Lau Maia & Sammy.

I have to read 20,000 Leagues and Guernsey, both of which work but 20,000 only works for S snd N. I'll read it anyway and we can use it or not. I should have them done by tomorrow night or Monday morning.
