Joanne’s Comments

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

I'm going through slowly trying to fit things in. If we have nothing in the bank, I'm writing "none" in the column beside the reason column in the colour bonus area. Those are open to start looking for right away.

The word is 12 letters long and we have 11 bonuses.

LOL "• grey - Color is in Title"

Why am I not surprised

I can't find a word count, but its 320 pages so should have enough words. I've seen other teams asking questions about this one regarding character names and stuff, so I know others are using it. It should be fine.

ETA: I just randomly checked some other teams spreadsheets. I found 5 other teams that have used this book at least once, so I don't see why we can't also.

It was a "read now" and listed as 6 parts, but I just downloaded them all before getting started. Didn't think at the time about how I would review them though.

I have a question for you guys.

I got from Netgalley and they divided the volume up into 6 parts (which really wreaked havoc on my feedback ratio, BTW) and I plan to shelve and review the volume here, because I don't like to shelve issues. Do you think Netgalley will mind having the same full review posted for all 6 parts or should I make a little comment about each individual part for that website?

Milon boasts that he once read a wheelathon word using 4 books published within the last 6 months."

Hmmm interesting one. Ok, we will be done our current word soon, so once we know what we're doing next, we can start looking for new releases to work with our colour bonuses

Don't feel overwhelmed! It looks more complicated than it is. Occasionally we may post that we need someone to read something specific, like a book with a red cover, or a book starting with U, but right now, there is nothing in particular that we need.

So read whatever you like and just let us know when you've finished it, and make a list of the main characters in the book in your completion post.

Ok, I'm off to do a little shopping. Be back soon.

Yay Shannon!

Becky, you have read so many books with blue in the title. I looked on my shelf and I only have a few, all already read.

For grey I can recommend and if anyone would like to read a really good book.

:( Darn.

Yeah sorry. Takes a little bit of time to see where we actually are. Thanks for being patient.

"The" CAN count, but it doesn't have to. So if the title is "The Queen" we can use it for both T and Q.

Everything on spreadsheet looks good to me.

I'm hesitant to fill in any more books until someone claims the grey and blue in title books. This way those books have the option of any of the unclaimed letters.

The other two colour bonuses are just "in the text" so we'll find multiple options for those once we've narrowed down for the harder bonuses above.

Then we can have people fill in (or fill in from bank) remaining letters.

How does that sound?

Looks like Amy posted just above a Q book that she finished. So this may not be needed (of course you're welcome to read it if you want)

Planning on heading out to IKEA soon, but I will take a look before I leave. I will be finishing a book that is basically 100% blue cover today, so if that last blue book in the bank works for something, you can feel free to use it.
