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

Are we skipping option two? I think if we already knew which books to read for it, we'd probably get it and a word or two from option 3 done. But, as it is, we'd need to find the right book, make sure we have or can get them quickly then read them. That might take longer than we want. So going for option 3 after this, for this round, might be a better plan. Just a thought.

Okay just re-read for option two. Did I tell you all that I have an atrocious memory? I have read the instructions about ten times. I just can't remember them. Sorry. Now if you'd like me to recall some obscure fact or list you all the présidents of the US and their years in office, I'm your gal. Anything else just doesn't stay in. Took me years to remember my husband's bday. So you may have to remind me of the rules again.
So for option 3 we can pick any word from the countdown tasks?

or are we going to do option 3? If so i can do #4 but I can also do 1 & 2"

Sorry, I meant option 2, which is still a LAVA spell it out.
I don't completely get the safezone rules, so I don't know what words make up our choices for option 3.

Also, if we're going to do the next LAVA spell it out. Can I claim an A? I've got the audiobook of The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh out from the library and it's due back in 9 days. So I will need to listen before then and would be great to use it here.

I probably won't have my V book done until tomorrow. It shouldn't take long.

I'm all done and posted on the spreadsheet.

I just borrowed The Vampire Prince just in case choose to do part 1 or 2.

I've compiled the list of books read by all the other teams. I put it on the page "Book Read Other Teams"
I only did the countdown tasks for now, though some teams have started their safezone tasks.

I'll have my last book finished soon. Would you all me to compile a list of books read by the other groups?
I can't really say which way to go. I only just understood the rules with Plethora's explanation.

Plethora wrote: "From the way I understand it:

Option 3: We need to do whole words or we don't get any points for the word attempt. So if word was "points" and we only read "point" we don't get any points for it.
..."

Oh, that makes sense now. I did wonder why we only had to spell half a word. 😳
So which do you think is better, Plethora? Attempting just 3? Or going for the others?

Plethora wrote: "Ugh I'm not sure what the best route is once we finish all our safe zone books.

I'll probably change my book 3 as well, it is long and a shorter book would work much better.

We would need to do..."

True option 3 seems the easiest and for the most points. But i don't think we have to spell out the whole word. Thought at crater category we only need to do two letters for pt 1 and 2 members need to complete a task each, which will give us 160 points plus whatever we can then spell out.

I've had to change my debut novel. As much as I want to read Neanderthal Seeks Human it's over 400 pages and I'm a slow reader. But I've found Blonde Roots on audioplayer, which means I can listen at work. So i should have that finished by tomorrow evening.
What is the best the plan for the safe zone? Are we doing zones 1 & 2? Just 3? Or all of them? I need to know what to read after this book. 😁

They mentioned a shelf for those that want to use them, to make it easier but it's not a requirement.

Personally, I'd just say nine characters with speaking parts, if they haven't asked for specifics.

I can't edit it either.
So I'll post my completion here. I'll happily fill in the sheet once I can.
