Jackie’s Comments (group member since Jul 10, 2011)

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

After looking at it again, I think you're right. I'll change it to The Iron King instead.

Maybe that's not right. I found it under the All tab on the BOM spreadsheet. Looks like it was a buddy read. Is that okay?

For Group 1, I can read The Iron King which was a BOM and works for I in ACID.

For Group 2, I have one for iv - Read a book with a green item on the cover and that contains the letters A-C-I-D in the author's name (doesn't need to be in that order)

For Countdown, I can do any of them, #1 is the hardest but I can find something if necessary. I can take three this time too.

Molten is only up to 20 books. I think we said Crater when we started.

So if we're Crater level, that's 21-40 books total. After Countdown and Groups 1 & 2, we should have up to 22 left for Group 3. Right?

I've got O and N books coming up so I can definitely do a set of those. Also, I can take X if we decide to do the word Six.

Okay, I'll read for A. Are we still doing Group 2 first?

I'm okay with doing Group 1. I'll find a book from the list.

Sorry to have been MIA. I've been sick but am much better now. I hope to finish my first two books tomorrow.

I have one for i from Group 2: i - 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)

I don't like the BOMs either so skipping Group 1 would be fine with me.
