In Memoriam Queen Elizabeth II
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death on 8th September 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and 15 at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female sovereign in history.

1. Read books set in a country that she either ruled over or that is part of the commonwealth.

Nothing But Reading ChallengesJust Desserts Reading Challenge
Duration: 7/1/2022 - Til Done!
Progress: 0 out of 25+ (Chef - Read 25 or more books)
This challenge combines both our love of books and desserts. We think it's a perfect combination. We didn't list every dessert for fear you'd be reading our list for a long, long time. We just wanted to stimulate your taste buds, er, imaginations and offer some ideas to any who wish to devour a spell-it-out challenge.
- Read at least one book that has a dessert on the cover or in the title. You can also read multiple books and opt to read a dessert by doing a spell-it-out challenge. For a spell-it-out challenge you may spell out the word of choice by using the first or last name of the author, first or last name of a character or their nickname, the first word of a book title. If the title begins with the, a, an, etc. you may use the second word in the title.
Example of a spell-it-out challenge
P - The Alchemistby Paulo Coelho
I - Invincible by Sherrilyn Kenyon
E - Evie in Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

Finished!Nothing But Reading Challenges
Around the World in 80 Days
Duration: 1/30/2022 - April 20, 2022
Progress: 8 out of 8 (Silver - 4-8 books)
Like Jules Verne's book, for which this challenge was named, you have 80 days with which to complete this challenge. Once you're finished feel free to start it again
This challenge was created to help you expand your reading horizon by encouraging you to read books by authors that do not reside in the country you do.
You are supposed to read books from authors who live in other countries. For instance, Melina Marchetta and Markus Zusak both live in Australia so if you live in the US you could read books by those particular authors. Tana French is from Ireland so she would be another author you could read a book from. J.K. Rowling is from Great Britain so that is another possible author you could read books from. Paulo Coelho,from Brazil, is another author you may wish to read a book from. Kelley Armstrong is from Canada so you may wish to include books she wrote. Stieg Larsson was from Sweden so you may choose to read books by him.

Nothing But Reading ChallengesThe Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge - PART II
Duration: 1/1/2022 - Til Done!
Progress: 0 out of 50
Levels:
(view spoiler)
~The Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge Part II~
Sub-genre: Mystery PART II
Rules: Pick a level, and read books that fall under these thirty-two (32) Mystery Sub-genres listed below. We’re giving you a little lee-way this round. To complete a level, you may exchange whatever number is indicated for that level [noted in brackets]. Do so by repeating your favorites from the following list or use some from Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge-Part I . If you are going for the highest level, you only have to complete 50 (not counting “Sherlock.”)
If you want to do this challenge concurrently with Part I, feel free to do so. (See Sherlock level below, too!)
As before, there is sure to be some overlap; you may use different books from the same series in more than one category. For example, Holiday in Death, by J.D. Robb - featuring NYPD Lieutenant Eve Dallas - falls under both “Female Detective” and “Holiday Mysteries” ...or even “Setting: Exotic Local” (if you don’t live in the U.S.). Therefore, if you enjoy the Albert Campion Series , by Margery Allingham, you could use The Crime at Black Dudley or Mystery Mile for “Setting - Isolated Local” and Look to the Lady for “Theft (art, jewelry, etc.)”. Or even use your exchange option, as the protagonist in that series works for the “Aristocratic Detective” sub-genre category in the Part I challenge.

~The Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge~
Sub-genre: Mystery
List inspired by the blogspot Murder by 4. We’ve added several of our own and used a few GoodReads’ definitions.
Rules: Pick a level, and read books that fall under these twenty-five (25) Mystery sub-genres listed below.
There is sure to be some overlap; you may use different books from the same series in more than one category. For example, The Gaslight Mystery Series featuring Sarah Brandt, the widowed midwife, and Frank Malloy, the widower police detective, would fall under both “Double Act” and “Historical Mystery.” So, if you’re enjoying the series, you could use #1-Murder on Astor Place for “Double Act” and #2-Murder on St. Mark's Place for “Historical Mystery.”
