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

I've not sped up an audio yet, but after reading these posts I might give it a go. Maybe Dune would have been better at 1.5. It definitely would have not taken the full 21 hours!

I am 2 books away. I should finish. I feel pretty good about it even though my number is low.
I am thinking of bump..."

That's a good plan. I do that with my GR annual goal. When I meet it I go up by 5, and when I don't I keep it the same for next time.

Even though I've only read about 5 or 6 from my list of 50 on here, I have read 26 that I added to my tbr 2017 or prior. So I might get another 5 - 10 in. This is a fab challenge. I just read The Kingdom, which I added in 2016,and it was a very enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

That book is so painfully beautiful. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That book, Animal Farm, The Color Purple and Never Let Me Go are all 5 star reads for me as well. And Cider House Rules 4 star. Fingers crossed you continue to enjoy your tbr.

ADDED IN 2013
The Buddha in the Attic
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas..."

You have some of my favourite books on your list, the books between Lord of the Flies and The Cider House Rules are all exceptional. I hope you really enjoy them.

Can I still join and just back date from the start? I got so close for the 2017/18 year, I want to try again

We seem to have finished 8th in our group. Thanks team and mods for a fun challenge.

Nope that won't work. Minimum page count is 160. LOL"

Carmen, the rules state: Books must be 100 pages or more in length. (unless the task states otherwise), so 102 will work. Unless, you're trying to use it for another challenge.

If you end up using Eternal, could you put my read date in for me, please. It was October 6. Ta.

So I've read my last two boojs for lava. It's bedtime, then work, so I won't get anymore read in time.

I loved playing on tower teams but I am so behind in my other challenges. These time sensitive ones are fun but intense. Good luck to those of you playing.

I should have Eternal and Adam done tonight.

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.

But with 2 votes as probably not, I'll look for somet..."

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.
