Stacey’s Comments (group member since Oct 26, 2014)

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

Victoria, I've found a few. I'll link what I have when I get home from work. It's mostly PNR and romantic suspense...not sure if those are interesting for you.

There's also a bingo thread in the Captains group so let me know which genre/sin you are most interested in and I can look there.

Random, but does..."

I put my name in at the library for so fingers crossed I can do that one. I'll probably try and I can volunteer for questions unless someone else wants to read it.

Also, this month's is a Sin bingo, so reading that one gives bonus and BOM points if anyone else is interested. I think Beth and I were planning on that one.

Only a few hours until starting time!

Hi Victoria! Welcome to Team Pride! I'm so glad you decided to sign up. :)

Beth, I was just trying to figure out what time it would start here as well! Usually they have a countdown clock, but I havent seen one yet.

Beth wrote: "How is everyone's week so far? Anyone has plans for what they want to read during the challenge?"

Hi Beth. My week is great right now as I'm getting ready to head to the beach this weekend...as soon as I can finish my work for the day. Hope yours is going well as well.

So far I have signed up for the Wilder Girls BOM and offered to write questions. For the first month or two I have to finish up a few other challenges, so my reading will depend on them, but I'm hoping to knock out a few of the bigger books on my list in December for extra points. I will admit I have not looked too closely at the book covers/categories associated with the "sins" yet, so don't have anything planned to match those specifically.

Hey Dale! Quick time zone question --- are you around the same times as Europe? Or are you later?

The transition to ebooks has helped me save considerable shelf space as well -- I still have most of a wall in an extra room dedicated to bookshelves, but it has slowed the takeover. :)

Hello Team Pride! Our thread is officially open for business -- so stop by and say hello, tell us about yourself! Let us know if you have any problems or questions.

I'm Stacey from North Carolina. I will be attempting to assist our fearless Captain Vicky as much as possible for the next few months. This is my 4th Tower Teams challenge, and it was my gateway challenge on Goodreads -- now I am incapable of not signing up for any and all. I am open to reading almost anything, but UF, romance of any kind, mysteries and thrillers are my go to choices.

Maybe I missed a countdown somewhere, but I'm showing 11+ hours until Round 4 starts, but our Round 3 spreadsheet is locked. Is there a break in between that I don't remember from previous rounds? (I am cutting my finishing time close....)

I'll volunteer for DQs. Team Pride.

I've got a couple for #3 -- tell me which cover works better for "hot"...

(hot embrace)
(hot man) (this one is shorter)

What do we need if Jennifer does 4..#3? I'll see if I can find something short that fits.

1. Read a book with red writing on the cover where the title contains the letters L-A-V-A (doesn't need to be in that order) - Laila

2. Read a book with a red cover..."

I can get 4.

Finished. On to the next section!

I'm about halfway through...do we have to be done by the end of that countdown?

Jennifer wrote: "Looking at a book I have Into the water has 9 characters. I will get that done this weekend"

I'm on book 6.

Jennifer, I have that one on my list -- let me know how it is.

I have a book 6. Jennifer I can switch tasks if you have a 9 character one on hand? I have family coming over the weekend though, so can probably only get one done in a timely fashion to give us time for next week.

Can you all start on the secondary tasks while we finish up the lava tasks? As long as you don't finish?

Paper and Fire is going very slowly, so I'm going to sub it out for Planning for Love which I should be able to finish tomorrow.

I also put a book in for the more than 9 characters spot -- The Price of Time -= but I can move it if someone else has one that fits.

(Laila I'm sorry I don't know how to add the book titles to the SS as links....)

Everyone ready? Feels like this has been in planning stages for a while....

I've got ready to go for the trilogy task.

For other challenges this I'll be reading these 2 books - if we need them.
which should work for the author with more than 7 published works (Nalini Singh) and possibly more than 9 characters (but its an anthology, so not sure if that's cheating?)
-- I think will work for 9 characters... but I'll keep count to see.

We are skipping Group 1 in the safe zone, correct?

Looks good Laila. I'll see what I get read in the next week and then pick up another book or two.
