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

Just posted completion on ss. Sz2 complete. Have we decided on which word?

I'll have my book finished tomorrow. Didn't get any reading in today.

I started listening to today. I think it could work for 4. Read a book with a brown item (something that can be touched) on the cover and that contains at least four of the letters of E-C-H-I-D-N-A in the author's name

My book is posted to ss, sz1 complete.

I can take N with Flame in the Dark. I didn't read it for the countdown at all, even though it says I started it but I'll change that. Nell doesn't actually live on a farm, which is why I used a different book.

I've done the last listing of other books currently read by other teams for the countdown.
And I just posted my other read.

I compared our books and we have quite a few in common, so if you haven't read these already try Skinwalker a UF or Kindred a time travel fantasy, the MCs are Cherokee and African-American respectively.

Fantastic. That's exactly what they're doing with them, selling the fruit and harvesting essential oils too.
Thanks.

Would an orange grove count as a type of farm? They're farmers right, people who grow oranges?

Hope you're feeling better.

Pretty good. I have looked at the leaders of our category and it appears they've go strategic, getting maximum points by spelling "in" or "on" exclusively. They get 40 points per letter and they do it as many times as they can. Though it's not as exciting as spelling SCANDINAVIA.

I'm going to add Sommersgate House to the ss then go to bed. I've got an annoying cold.

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.
