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

I had a fab time with you all, and especially loved how we all rose to the challenge of the District wheel!

Don't forget to keep an eye on this thread for demands and/or hints for the next challenge (which I tell you now, won't be until October, if not later!)

I'm going to push the start for this by a day: end of Wheels has caught me on the hop! I'll get the breakdown sorted in the next few hours :)

Also, it would appear that the Hoop Snake does not appear on sheet 3, or am I just going blind(er)?"

I've just read, like, 80% of my shorties to crank through the wheels! books in the 100 - 175 range are in scant supply chez Cat right now!

and, pleasingly, mostly good shorties, courtesy T Kingfisher!

I have to say, having done some crazy reading the last couple of days to crank through those wheels, I'm now at a loss! When's the next challenge start, to reduce options?!

let's maybe let the mods take a breath! (the wheel mastermod is currently looking at what damage everyone took, not sure we want to pester her during that phase!...)

Always good to help increase your reading towards goal and also decrease your TBR! usually I find that my TBR has equally increased!

not going blind, but all fixed now.

Do we want to start saying that if we've done a given monster three times we can chose to respin?

I've finished my brown blurb!

is that blurb brown (beige-y brown)? I can get that done overnight

Hurrah!

we have a new District, with only a couple of tasks needed, for any over achievers:
- brown text on cover - Cat
- WALL in title - Danielle

just ONE O away from completing the spell out too (the ones in the bank got reshuffled)

I think we might get a new spin at some point before the end of the challenge, so a book with some vowel options would be good :)

I am sure we can! (or bank yours, depending on which has the best options for flexibility)

everyone's been awesome in stepping up to this last, pretty evil, word! loving it!

Yes, if you read the audio we can use narrators :)

Great, thanks for the info Katie & Danielle!

I've picked up one that will work for G or S

Current Status

We are waiting on
- Yellow cover (Christine)
- set in China (Sandy)

Hopefully we can get those reported in time for a last district spin - you two keep your focus there, ignore the spell out chat below unless you have some spare time AFTER finishing those!

We finished off the last spell out, and I did a - in retrospect - foolish thing in getting a new spin. we are now stuck with the marvel that is POISONOUS FOG

So. Many. Os.

I am so sorry!

but on the plus side, I do have two Os in progress, and depending on any district spin, we do have a couple of letters in the bank, but I'm not placing them yet as they could be useful in the district too

P - FILLED
O - FILLED
I - FILLED
S - FILLED
O - FILLED
N - FILLED
O - Katie
U - FILLED
S - FILLED
F - FILLED
O - FILLED
G - FILLED

There are some options on the planned to read list too. But if anyone finishes and has time to whip through a quick book: go for it!

Fab! that's names against all the district tasks.

and I've just finished an O book, to finish the spell out

NEW DISTRICT TASKS

@Pat, not to worry - sorting a too-action-packed life out isn't flakey!
