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

I have Texas Secrets, which works for #5 but I won't likely have it finished until Friday. I will have Bluest eye done by tonight or tomorrow morning (cst). So it's really whether someone else thinks they'll get it done before Friday. I think if someone can, then go for it. Otherwise, I've got it queued up on my brand new fancy kindle.
It's so great, this new kindle. My old kindle, which I loved, was the one with the keyboard that didn't have back-lighting. I never knew what I was missing.

That's why I had originally chosen LotR but fortunately noticed the exception. 😊

I was going to read The Fellowship of the Ring for #6 but I'm going to go with The Little Prince instead cos it's like 60 pages. So I can get in another. My #2 book is The Bluest Eye which is also rather short. I wil be happy to read for another of the other tasks. I have chosen one for each of them.

I’m really sorry that y’all had to wait on me for safe zone 2, that you had to stop reading so many books for sz3, and for only contributing one book to sz3. Even though I’m still on vacation I should be able to get back on track and read more. Especially as I have been given a new kindle fire.😊
Anyway, sorry again that you three had to carry the last stage.

I’m in a car driving through Iowa and my phone is foreign. Can someone add my book to the spreadsheet because I can’t access it right now. I won’t get to a place with WiFi for another 5 hours? Thank you to anyone who can.

Completion post
Book: The Offer
Date read: 25/8/19
Player: Keli

I don't have much left of the offer. Does the time end when the next round begins?

Sorry life is taking over. I thought I’d get a bit more reading done on the flight, it was over eighth hours, but the attendants asked us to close the window. So the only lights I had was the overhead one and it sucked. So I mostly played games and listened to music. Now I’m driving from SD to IL for the weekend and, again, don’t know how much reading I’m going to get done. I may only be able to finish The Offer. I will try to get another in but I haven’t no idea what letters we need.

Thanks to whoever fixed the links to our books. I only just read that.

I'll take
6 from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die List. For this task, you can use books that would otherwise not be allowable for the challenge (e.g. due to wordcount or genre)

I'm about to get on a flight. I will soon be in US central time, which might coincide with you all more. I will get an O book on the plane. I have also started The Wrath and the Dawn, sadly no Os but if you coordinate another word this may be able to fit.
My O book will either be The Offer or Insider. I think with my super long travel time, I'll probably get in two. Whatever I read, I will just make sure I've got Os.

All done with No Country. Not my usual fare but pretty good.

No country for old men might take me until Thursday. I'm on holiday from Thursday and it's quite busy until then. But i will have an entire transatlantic flight to read. So if I haven't finished No Country by Wednesday night. I'll try to get it posted as soon I land.
It is not a thick book but it is Cormac McCarthy. I've also started The Terranauts.

I have No Country for Old Men. So I can read that one.

I can't find any book with "LAVA" in it that also has red writing. I went through all the books in my house. I have hundreds of physical books and not a single one fit. I don't have KU but I've got 3000+ books on my kindle, and am going through them. This could take bit.

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.
