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

finished a short one that will work for TRAVEL, if we want.

I probably won't exceed my cap, as I have some longer books coming up now, so might as well.

I got ya! :D

It's ok,Dawn had finished hers in the sheet first so we can start the latest itinerary with your Senegal

I've got author born in Africa covered :)

Read a book that was originally published before 1900"

I can grab one for that! :D

Finished my book. We might put it to the Cultural tag task

New Task

48 Read a book with a title that starts with one of the letters found in TRAVEL (Articles may not be used but can be ignored) - we can't use books with titles like The Great Gatsby or A Court of Mist ...

great!

Dora's just finished a hard country, so either of our medium will finish that itinerary off, and will then use the other in our next itinerary!

:)

I'm currently reading a book set in Argentina, but it doesn't fit for anything else, so I won't hog anything yet :)

right! I switched for a new spin:

John Julian (South America)
1 100 to 175
2 Takes place in South America
3 Tagged indigenous 10 or more times
4 published in March
5 author or character named John or Julian

Open Tasks
MPG Vampires (Vlad)
tagged dragon 10x (Vlad)
MPG Pirate (Barbarossa)
350 to 450 (Ms Snek-Hair)
takes place in a desert (Ms Snek-Hair)
Mirror on cover (Ms Snek-Hair)

Finished Sri Lanka book, so current itinerary needs one more medium and one hard book to be done.

I am currently reading for Argentina (medium) and Equatorial Guinea (hard), and can be done with both by this evening. Shout if you will have a medium / hard done sooner & I'll pace myself!

So, I finished Brotherless Night. currently in for a page count task, but could push Sophie's "The White Castle" for Historical Fiction out to finish a set?

Thoughts? Don't want to go unilaterally, as I am scarred from fall out of that in TT teams!

well, we are a born in France author, and N spell out short of spinning a new wheel country. We'll do a ritual sacrifice to the Wheel gods when we do so!

SO much better, yes! Thank you :)

I love how great this team is at communicating plans! And to working with my masterplan too!

Obviously do pull me back if I start to get a bit toooooo much with the READ HARD COUNTRIES! READ LONG BOOKS! and remind me about the fun part of the challenge :)

I have [bookcover:SOS Hotel: On the Road|..."

There's no rush on the tasks, and we get more points for page counts, so if you are only reading to clear the task quickly, don't! I'd rather sit on it a while for more page points :)

And with Rina's latest we are now no longer able to travel (for itinerary) to Sierra Leone.

Mini 3 needs 2 medium (mandatory) and 1 hard (for maximum points) country! But that hard country can't be Senegal

New Task

47 Read a book with an earthly mode of transportation on the cover (i.e., no spaceships)

So books with cars, bikes, trains work :)
