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

What does the board look like? it seems like there are a lot of higher numbers. We can change my guess to something with a lower number and a letter that needs better representation. I just pulled numbers out of my butt without scrolling through the app.

Has I7 been guessed?

Reading all these letter-number combos makes my head want to shout BINGO

Liking the X idea

Is there going to be a spreadsheet view-able by the whole team?

Holding off on starting anything new because it will end up being the perfect book for one of our goals. Such is my luck.

Yup. They have profiles for text books.

Team Opinion:
Does anyone have their college text books on their GR shelves? I have plenty to add, but since I didn't really sit down and read them chapter by chapter (jumped around in curriculum, skipped sections) I always felt like it would be cheating to add them as Read.

I'm in the Cincinatti area. For work I am over. Stateside I hop between New Hapshire/Vermont area, Seatle, and aouthwen California. Every once in a while I am have to make stops in France or the UAE. Non-work travel includes national parks for mountain climbing and lots of Walt Disney World :)

I'm Meg. Ohio. I'm in the aerospace/aviation industry. I get most of my reading it done while traveling for work. I spend my non-reading free time at the dog park, hiking, golfing, home brewing, crafting, and tutoring maths and physics.
When it comes to books, I am up for almost everything, but usually gravitate toward historical fiction, thrillers/suspense, and non-fiction. Right now I am reading Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity, The Red Fox, and Truman.

Yes! Join the fun. We promise no smack talk... maybe. :oP As a Reds fan, I have very little ammo.

The countdown is now an icon on my phone and the home screen on my laptop

Let's do this! I'm pumped!!

I need challenges like this so I can narrow down what to read. I'm too indecisive and open to anything, which can make choosing the next book far more stressful than it should be.

Glad to see I'm not the only baseball fanatic!

When I saw that the group picked the book I nominated, I had a "They like me! They really like me!" moment.

Any way of adding a book with 22 in the title to the books with 22 as part of the page number?
