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

Yaaaaayyyyy!

I just added a few to my shelf, I didn’t realize we could add others that didn’t fit the tasks and just get pints all this time!!

I’ve been looking through my TBR and I can’t find anything taking place in South Africa that I’d be able to finish in time so far :/
Still searching…

Ok I’m now sold and am adding The House in the Cerulean Sea to my TBR

I also want to read Addie Larue!

That’s awesome Shelby!! I can’t believe we’re so close to finished with all tasks!! Thanks for all your hard work with this!!!

I just added 3 books to my shelves but they don’t seem to work for much we have left.

I know Honey Girl works for ‘Snuff: 232. MC: Goes on a holiday‘, Grace goes on holiday to Vegas to start and goes on two more trips I’d consider holiday throughout the book to New York and Florida.

Also, Assassin's Heart is MPG fantasy but that also seems like one many books would fit.

My other book was Anna K: A Love Story and it didn’t seem to fit anything left :/

Seems like I should look for a book starting with Y, we seem to have a few left…

I’m so sorry guys, we’ve had no power from mid yesterday and still none but I was able to charge my phone at my parents and now am trying to check in to all threads. I’m sure hoping the power comes back soon. My area has had some bad storms and we have another now but a power line near us was damaged yesterday :/

I’ll just be on briefly not to drain my phone but wanted to check in.
Luckily I can read power free as long as it’s daylight and/or my flashlight doesn’t die. My bf however is bored out of his mind….

I am making sure to keep up with putting my books in my TT folder still tho.

I also usually have two books going on: and audio and a print/kindle one. It works nicely for me that way.

However, so far in June I e not been up to my usual reading. I’ve finished one shorter audio but hardly read anything in my physical/kindle one. I sure hope this isn’t the start of a slump 😭

Thanks and yes I 100% agree on computer issues—I love having a computer but sometimes want to throw it across the room it’s so frustrating. And there’s so much great about the phone but some things that just don’t quite work as well as on a computer.

Good news on that from my computer is getting fixed and I should have it back up and working tomorrow after I get home from work.

Thank you that would be awesome!!! All mine are currently on my shelf that I’ve completed and I’ll keep adding them as I complete them. You don’t even know how helpful this is!!
It’s very slow going getting through all the tasks on my phone for each book. I’m coming back from vacation and hopefully will be getting my computer fixed and then can take more part in that section of things too but I really appreciate you offering this!!! ❤️

Okay 1 of now 6 books read. I’ll work through posting some more of them tomorrow. I’m on vacation and only have phone access so it’s a bit of a slower process. But now that I have a better idea I’ll definitely get some posted!

Yes it definitely seems much different from the last TT!!
Thanks that helps a lot!!

For instance, under the color of magic, my first book of may, An Abundance of Katherines, fits purple, green, and yellow on the cover. It only fits one in that category, should I try to find a category where it fits multiple tasks to get more points, or is it only one task per book on this? I see a checkmark on that task so I’m not sure.

Hi sorry, I’m just kind of confused as there are so many tasks—it’s much different from TT7, the deadly sins one, where there were like four for each sun and you just saw which one your book fit best.

With this one, do we as a team only need each task only once or we can do the same task day five times and that’s fine too?

Also, do I find which topic my book fits the most tasks under, or do I check through all topics for each book and put any it fits regardless of which topic heading they’re under?

I loved the parts set in the past during Truly Devious!! The character I didn’t like at all was David, and for me, he never improved LOL.
But I still read the entire serious and for the most part enjoyed it besides that character.
I’m also interested to read the new 4th book.

I’m traveling in a car to vacation but I’ll post my books when we get there tomorrow. I have four completed but need to find all the tasks the most recent two fit also.

I have finished one book and about to finish two more. I’m working on figuring out what all tasks they could fit!

Sorry to hear this about you and your father, Gunit! My boyfriend and I both had covid back in December and were quarantined. We were lucky to have not that bad of symptoms but it did freak me out to lose taste and smell. Again I was lucky and got my taste and smell back pretty fast. The quarantine drive me nuts but I did get a lot of reading done—it was a nice escape.

I hope you stay asymptomatic and your father improves quickly!! Fingers crossed!
