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

I love that in this book group we’ve ended up having a long chat about food and drinks. It makes me smile.
My favorite is also chai tea latte I could drink them all day and night if I had the option. But I also like hot and iced teas too.
I love the smell of coffee but only like to drink it if it’s been doctored up enough to not taste like coffee haha
I can’t stand wine and don’t really enjoy beer, if I’m drinking I prefer mixed drinks that taste good lol.
I LOVE cheese so much it could be it’s own food group. Same for dark chocolate really. Ice cream is my real downfall tho—I don’t even keep it in the house because I can devour it with no resistance.

Oh gotcha so it has to be marked guilty pleasure by someone else. Ok I wasn’t sure since to me that’s never been a genre lol.
Thanks for clarifying!!

So how do we decide if something is a guilty pleasure? I’m really confused if that’s up to our personal preference or how exactly we determine that...

Oh I see the sin bingo books now. That’s smart Annalisa, I had wondered why you had several posts that just said reserve like something wasn’t loading on my phone, but now I realize it was probably so you could add things later for us all to easily find near the beginning—great idea!!

Thanks Annalisa!

Sheila—Sin Bingo is when a book you read fits all three categories listed for a sin. The cover color, the genre, and the task type thing. The books listed are examples but any book that fits can be used.

I’m fine with posting wherever, so here works for me as it’s the most popular option.

When I click your link Annalisa, it takes me just to the first part of this thread, am I doing something wrong? I wanted to check if any of my TBR was on the sin bingo list

Ok just went to the internet on my phone and I think this will work. Let me know if that’s what we want for posting my shelf.

I’m currently in Turf Wars challenge in another group and everyone in my team talks about TT and how much they love it so I had to come check it out and I was so excited to be in time for sign ups. I can’t wait to experience it!!!

Thanks Annalisa! Looks like you’re one of my captains again just like with UNO! I love that challenge and hope to have as much fun and add this one to my list of top favorite challenges to look forward to!!

I’m not sure if I can post my shelf through the app? I’ll have to wait and do it later but I’ll get mine posted too.

Also, I’ve watched Book Roast on booktube and love the Harry Potter themed readathons. Ive watched several booktubers videos on theirs but haven’t taken part myself just because of having the time to devote when they were taking place but I’m hoping to next year, it seems so fun.

Hi everyone! I’m Keri and my favorite series of all time is also Harry Potter! I’ve reread either through physical copy or audio probably at least 7 times lol. And I just started again last month with the first. Other than that my favorite book is Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

My favorite genres are fantasy, thriller and historical fiction probably. I like all of those in YA and some adult.
I’ll read other genres occasionally also.

I’m currently reading Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake which is the conclusion to one of my other favorite series so I’m taking it kind of slow since I don’t want the series to end lol

I’ll try to join in on Wilder Girls since I own it, and it would be sin bingo from what I’ve read in this chat.

I have a bunch of Halloween 🎃 ish (or seemingly so) books I have been saving for October so I’ll have to sort through them and see what works for this challenge and a couple others I’m in.

This is my first TT and I’m so excited! I’ve heard so much about it from my Turf Wars team in the Game Night group I had to come find it and luckily was in time to sign up. Everyone there says it’s their favorite challenge. I’m super sad I didn’t get to take part in the HP themed one last year!!

Oh I tried again and this time it worked! Maybe the one in this chat was updated from what I originally tried. Who knows, either way I got to it now!!

Thanks Cat! I tried this link then scrolled to the bottom and that’s what I tried earlier, when I click where it says ‘here’ it takes me to google sheets but says I don’t have access :/

Can someone help me out...I never got an email saying if teams were made/what team I’m on/a link to go to to find which team I’m on etc. I just thought since it’s almost October they probably are made? I looked again through the messages inbox but don’t know how to find out...please help!

Hi!! I’ve been a member a while but want to become more active in reading challenges this year. I did a few last year in another group and really enjoyed them for the reading aspect, the motivations of seeing others do it, and especially the team ones and getting to meet other people to work with on the challenges :)

This one sounds so different cool and helpful so I’m going to try it. I’ll go through my TBR today to figure out a plan!!

Little Face by Sophie Hannah

Goodreads Synopsis:
It's every mother's nightmare ...

The first time Alice Fancourt goes out after their daughter is born, she leaves the two-week-old infant with her husband, David. When she returns only two hours later, she swears the baby in the crib is not her child. Despite her distress, David is adamant that she is wrong.

The police are called to the scene. Detective Constable Simon Waterhouse is sympathetic, but he doubts Alice's story. His superior, Sergeant Charlie Zailer, thinks that Alice must be suffering from some sort of delusion brought on by postpartum depressions.

With an increasingly hostile and menacing David swearing she must either be mad or lying, how can Alice make the police believe her before it's too late?

The Wicked King by Holly Black

Goodreads Synopsis:
You must be strong enough to strike and strike and strike again without tiring.

The first lesson is to make yourself strong.

After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.

When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
