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

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.

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?

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.

As we finish them, do you want us to post completions here or on the spreadsheet or both, Carmen ?

I'm excited. Thanks for the reminder, too.

I'm choosing
10. Depravity published on the 10th June 2015
8. for the carnivorous animal on the cover
1. Neanderthal Seeks Human for the debut.

I'm not worried about them being in a row because we don'..."

I've only just seen this. Good to know they don't need to be in order and that y'all didn't have to wait for me to finish.

That's good to know. But I do cry at commercials. 😶

Should we also plan out our safezone tasks? Cos even though we can't start reading those until we're done with countdown, we can start reading for each safezone group as soon as we're in the first safezone. So if we're close to finishing one safezone some can start reading for the next. You just can't finish a book before the current safezone is complete. So we could plan out the two weeks based on our category.

50s books are easy enough to find. That four narrators one though looks hard. Do they mean four separate narrators or narration from four pov?

We should swap one Plethora. Maybe 4 or 5. Just to even out the numbers a bit. Otherwise, you're reading all three in a row.

Ok, I just found that Depravity was published on the 10th and it's only 236 pages of genre I'm more into than children's classics. So I'll start that on the 12th. I'm gmt time, so I probably won't have it finished until that evening. Like half a day after the competition starts. But it will give you all time to get stuck into your books. Of course I'm eight, so you may have to wait a bit again. 😕
