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

This is my first Wheel so I have a few questions. We only get the extra 30 points for the book color once, correct? Do we have to fully spell the color before we move onto the next spell? Or can we have 1 full fuschia, and then 1 F, but 4 Is that count for extra points? Does that make sense--its still early for me!?

I should be able to also finish either Tangled --Author Alice Clayton gives us a "C"-- or Insatiable that will give us an "I" if either of those would be helpful.

I have this one I can read as well. . Although when I post it it looks more blue than it does in person.

I've looked through my pile. I'm about a third of the way through an "H" right now, so I will work on finishing that sloooowly this week. I have candidates for all the other letters (and the color, I think) --so just let me know if there is a particular one I should tackle.

My shelf is color-wheel. Off to check my books for Fuschia.

Hello Team Citrine! We do seem to be on the small side--we'll just have to read faster. :) Looking forward to getting started.

Great! Thanks. :)

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'm one of the delinquent ones, but it looks like the spreadsheet has my number and name now--is that right? Am I all set?

I'm signed up. See you all there. :)

I know! I think I would have shed a tear or two (or three) at the thought of all those books burning.

Well, I got notice from library that my copy of this was in, but before I could go pick it up, 2 kids with too much time on their hands started a fire at the library and it is closed until further notice, although thankfully not too much damage. So....They are supposed to move my book to another branch so I can pick it up, but not sure that will happen before 2/22. Sigh. I'll join you all when I can, I guess.

I have no idea how long this will take me, but it sounds fun.

Thanks everyone for making my first challenge so fun! I'm sorry I slacked a bit the last few weeks--would have been nice to hold onto 5th place. I'll keep reading and posting until Renee has had enough. :)

I'm going to get it from the library tomorrow, but probably won't start until sometime next week. My sister has been after me to try this author for a while.

Just requested this from the library. Looks like I'll have a good shot at getting it before we start. Love hearing all the good reports.

I'm up for continuing until we hit 20,000.

Wow, sounds like a busy LIFE week for everyone. Lisa, I'm sorry about you and your family's loss. It's always a shock no matter how expected.
