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

I have The Travelling Cat Chronicles checked out and ready to go on the 15th. :) I have my name put in at the library for The Book of Cold Cases, but I'm about 80th on the list, so not sure I will get it in time.

We only have the 2 weeks in May for the mini?

Hello Team!

I'm Stacey. I think I've been doing Tower Teams for about 5 rounds so far? It was my gateway challenge when I first discovered GR and its probably still my favorite.

I live in North Carolina in the States with my dog. Normally I work FT as a physical therapist, but will be off work following some simple surgery for the next month, so I should get some good reading done for at least the first 2 weeks of the challenge. :)

Romance is my go to, but really I enjoy pretty much anything that has a good story. The only genres I really struggle with are cozy mysteries and high fantasy. I have sorted all my longish TBR list books into a shelf, and will try to read as many as I can. Also will keep an eye out for the BOMs. Can't wait to start!

ETA: my list is correct.

The Christmas Blanket"


This one is not on your WAT shelf, and the edition on your read shelf has a lot less pages than this one. Could you check this please and ..."

I added to my shelf and changed the link to the paperback version. I read the Kindle version, but according to Amazon, the page count is the same -- not sure where the 98 page count came from.

I will finish The Green Mile tomorrow -- I forgot how wordy Stephen King can get! And probably one other short one on audio while I'm cleaning.

Is anyone reading the December Adult BOM by any chance? The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"

I was going to give it a try -- but I was 278th on the wait list at the library, and its not enough of my kind of read to pay the kindle/book price. **shrug**

Sooo, not a lot of letters in that one -- but there is that Giant bonus. :)

I can read The Green Mile but I'm not sure if it works? It was a 6 book serial when it came out, now grouped together -- is that allowed?

The words have been assigned.

Ours is: Frobscottle Whizzpoppers whatever that means ;-)

Our tags are: green, fizz, fart, giant
Only needs 1 tag..."

Well. That's not...horrible....

I can do a re-read of The Wall of Winnipeg and Me to knock out a tag and a Z. I know I SHOULD read Heir of Fire to move that series along, but I'm just unmotivated to do so! :)

In the meantime, I'll start looking for Ps, Os and Es.

I'm assuming with the last round words we actually have to find titles/author/names that start with X? Sounds like a good time to catch up with the Black Dagger Brotherhood.....

I was going to leave this to the end since it has lower numbers, but then I realized YELLOW LETTERS! So that's one less we have to find. :)
