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

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.

Cool, then Guernsey can work for I and fit the book read by another team requirement.

The word is in the text.
The skull and crossbones is pretty much the only poison logo, so when it said other poison logo I tried to think outside the box.

One last thing, I have to read 20000 Leagues Under the Sea for another challenge was and this book was used by another team abd has a character that works for N and P

I haven't checked the text yet. Thought I'd ask about the title, just in case. If you're willing to accept the poison bottle, I'll check the text.

Would the title page count as "in the text," and would work for Read a book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover and that contains the word POISON in the text?

Also, for sz2 I have , which might work for option 3.

Should we consider our book limit when deciding on whether we go with sz1. I think we'll get more points if we go for it but that's only a guess. I haven't actually looked at the math.

I'll look at my books tomorrow to see what else works.
Carmen you mentioned Recursion which letter would that be for?

I have added all the books read by other teams to our spreadsheet. I have the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, which was read by Lavalicious Readers for #9. It has some S characters and an I.

I added your book and reason, Carmen.

I finished my two books. Finally, some decent reads, both 4 stars.

I've downloaded a new book by an Australian The Hating Game. I should have that and the rest of shady lady finished by tonight.

Dang, it ends tomorrow. This French is kicking my butt. I almost have Shady Lady finished. I'm glad I didn't go for 3!

Is it good? It was on the list of books we could choose from in my junior year but I chose all gothic stuff. Guess my reading tastes were already taking hold. 🙄 I have to dedicate myself to classics otherwise I will never finish them.

Then you should. I've only just recently bought mine. Well, about a year or two ago. I will gladly use the time to read for another challenge. 😅 I'm a little bit behind on some.

I'll tentatively take 1. that is on the Foreign Lands list. I'm not the speediest reader but I have one of the books on that list, The Good Earth. As long as the countdown lasts a week I think I can get those three in time.

I can also take 4. from an author who was NOT born in the USA, Canada or UK, I've had L'Étranger hanging around for a long time.

Can I claim 2. with one or more flowers on the cover, I have to read this for another challenge.
