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

I finished The Midnight Feast in time yesterday and just updated the spreadsheet, but not The God of the Woods, that one’s taking me a while to get through…

Thank you great captains and great team!!

Thank you! I also added 3 more that I'm currently reading and will finish before 12/7 so I am prepared and remembering character names while in the moment of reading lol

I do have 2 books to add so I'll do that right now. I'm not going to be able to add links for the books but I'll type in the title and author. If someone wants to update to a link feel free!
It will be:
The Teacher
All the Colors of the Dark

I'm so upset, RL got in the way hardcore this month but I was reading in any free time. I had for some reason thought round 3 ended today and in reality it was the 23rd. I had several books that won't count now b/c I had that wrong, I'm so sorry guys!

Oh yay thank you! And thanks for the amount I have space for left. If I end up with more than two I’ll make sure to choose the longer ones

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I have been reading a lot just not much time to update. I’ve finished I think 3 more and have them on my shelf. If someone can add them great, or I will try and get them added tomorrow! 😊

Thank you!!

I’ve finished The Guncle last night, would someone be able to help me by adding it to the spreadsheet?

I took a few days of PTO off from work so that should help me decompress and get into the swing of things for round 2!

Keri, do you need he..."

Yes that would be great! I’ve had less computer access than normal this week and have been feeling a little overwhelmed with life in general. I had my aunt’s funeral Tuesday and on top of that some not great things going on at work—it’s just been an emotional week.

It’s now on my shelf. I added my current reads also so I don’t forget.

I am trying to figure out what day this challenge started, I was in the middle of some books and now that I’m finishing books I’m not sure which ones I started after the challenge start that I can count…I checked the first several posts but couldn’t fine it (which doesn’t mean it’s not there..I could easily miss it)

I'm happy to say my toddler's cold didn't last too long, so I've been able to read as much as normal (which still isn't a TON since I have a toddler lol).

Has anyone else read ..."

I own that but haven’t gotten to it yet—glad to hear more good things, may have to move it up the TBR…

Remember - books that were started before the official challenge start time need to be removed from the tracking sheet. "

Oh shoot I forgot this rule. I have a few books going that I’ll need to get finished before mine start counting. One of them completed just now, 3 to go…

Hi team! I’m so excited for this to begin. I’m Keri and I live in Ohio with my boyfriend and my border collie.

I love reading to escape life stress and just because I loves being sucked in to new worlds and stories. My favorite genres are fantasy (especially epic), mystery/thriller, horror and some sci-fi or contemporary, with an occasional memoir. So quite a lot of things lol.

My shelf above is correct 😃

Thanks for being such a great team, I’ve enjoyed this!!

I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish any more books before the challenge ends but I’ll keep you posted.

I’m about 1/4 or so of the way into two books and falling into a bit of a reading slump.

Sooooo…I think I double added some books. I kept thinking mine were getting deleted or I forgot to add them because they weren’t on the spreadsheet, but I know I put all mine in today and now they’re gone but one.

Then I was so confused because I didn’t see other tabs. But I scrolled down and saw the whole section of like completed and used ones and realized I may have added things many times. So thank you to whoever is fixing me doing that 🫣

It’s been a struggle trying to do it on the app on my phone while on vaca

Ooooohhhh thanks! That makes me less stressed trying to figure out a reason for those colors 🤣
Mostly I try to find something from the book in the spirit of the topic but occasionally it’s hard so having those colors is nice backup.

Can someone explain to me how pink on the cover means shelter or blue and green means defense, etc.? I am so confused on why those colors fit and have been avoiding using that because it seems wrong but I think it’s because I don’t understand and maybe someone can explain it?

I just put some for those reasons but I keep feeling like I’m lying because to me I have no clue how pink means shelter…

We’re experiencing effects of Hurricane Debby on our vacation unfortunately. We’ve been stuck inside two days now as it’s torrential downpour and high winds…not ideal beach conditions 😞

I am getting reading done but service is spotty. I may or may not be able to update the spreadsheet before I get home, but I’m home before the end of challenge. We get home 8/11.

I’m going to try to add some now including my current reads so they’re started even if I don’t know how they fit yet
