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

Thanks, KayLynn, the banked books are contemporary, but we may end up using them for a snug little Mini2 task somewhere along the line.

When we get new tasks I will just ask from time to time.

Claire,

These books listed above can only be used for Mini 2 tasks and for Cheese spell-outs as that's where book-banking is allowed. :))

We could still end up using them for Mini 2 tasks that get revealed later.

🛩️ Mini 2 - New / Unclaimed Tasks 📕

Read a book where a character lives in a small place or in the countryside


Any unused books that may fit this one?

- One Little Mistake (Louise)
- De affaire (Claire)
- Dood water (Claire)
- Cherry Beats (Louise)

LOL. Very cool.

Good! Sounds like a fun book. 😊

But I will be a book short. Sorry."

No need to apologise!!

Also, you can finish Palau any time. The countdown is for our book caps only, the Mini tasks continue till the end of the challenge.

You need to reply to 3 DQ sets (any 3 days) to get 20 points. YOu can answer all DQs, but the maximum points is fixed at 20. If a team member is chosen to write DQs that's 40 points extra.

OK, just realised that my upcoming book will cover a page count task.

Sure, will do. :)

Thank you for addding the info.

(if you want to hide them, you need to "untick" TRUE, with only BLANKS and FALSE remaning ticked. :))

KayLynn,

concerning Gwen & Art Are Not in Love: how "Middle Ages" is it?

I'm asking b/c the blurb is very vague about it: "It’s been hundreds of years since King Arthur’s reign". Technically it could still be a Medieval (we agreed in the Captains Group to the period 5th-15th centuries), but I'd rather have some more confirmation about it, especially as it seems to be a Fantasy setting, so it can take liberties with "Medieval".

Thank you.

Update: I checked this in the Captains Group as one of our Mods, Judith read this already and it works just fine. :))

Sorry,

none of my current books seems to fit anything at the moment. 😥

3 stars, it wasn't bad, but ultimately not the book I was looking for.
My fault, as I was not so secretly hoping for a bookhigh experience similar to Anything You Can Imagine and/or Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli: The Epic Story of the Making of The Godfather.

I didn't get it, but it wasn't a bad listen all in all, so I am glad I finally got round to listening to it.

You click on the filter arrow in the "S" column an tick 'TRUE', that will list all read books that we transferred to the official sheet.

And thank you. 😊

You can also check on the Mini 1 - Novels tab on our tracking sheet.

Vi,

as it will bring 20 extra points, I'd vote we keep yours, even if it knocks Fiji off the list. 😊

We'll keep it in mind and I will add it as a no-go place to one of my posts on Team Page 1.

Awesome, I will do the swap. :)

For 600+ books - it seems from the Books tab that we have some options.

I happent to know for example that our lovely Co-Cap Fiona is reading Empire of Storms (when she isn't falling asleep on trains 🤭). 😉

Stinky PALPUSZTAI is finished off. 🤭


‼️I*M*P*O*R*T*A*N*T!!‼️

Teamies, there are some books that you've completed earlier. It would be great if you could double-check those and list spell-out options in case you haven't done so yet.
PLEASE don't just list letters, as that is not very helpful when it comes to characters, which we may not be able to trace and it would save a bit of time for us.

Thank you, much appreaciated. 😊
