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

The task "Read a book where the first word of the text is "One" " is very tricky.

I asked in the Captains group in case some other team already had this task and got recommendations:

Broadchurch
Julie Chan Is Dead
Sold
The Metamorphosis

@Denise

you already added Julie Chan to the tracking sheet. Can we assign it you? 😊

No hurry.

Thank you, Andy! :)

✈️ Read a banned book"

Well, as it doesn't specify list, I guess we can read more widely. But happy to look for one.

Awesome. Will add it. 😊

Also no worries, if the task is still there when you finish, we'll use it, if not, then for sth else.

✈️ New Minis Task ✈️
Read a book where a character gets on a plane

Could any of the unused books work for that one?

.......

OK, it seems that MH's The Sound of Secrets has a character getting on a plane, so I am going to assign it.

Sounds great! :))

Great!!! Thank you. 😊

‼️Unclaimed Tasks for Mini 3‼️

🎡 Only 1 unclaimed task: the letters KEBAB in title.

KayLynn has read a book for that, but I have assigned it to "character goes to market" as that seems equally tricky.

So if someone has a book either for KEBAB or for Going-to-Market, we could do some tetris. 😊

Awesome, thank you. 😊

🥰

Ouch! 😬

If we can't find anything, I'll check if a shorter Diana Xarissa book is available on kindle.

No worries, Fiona. :))

We could establish a club for hellish days in the offce. 🍻

😅

😍

Thanks you, Denise! :)

Because you are such a great team, there are plenty of books to pick from. 🥰

The only letter we need is an X! I could not find one, but in case any of your books has one and I missed it, just shout out, please.

If not, we need a book for that.

Never mind the fact that I already own 3 copies of the book..."

E,

I think without Gandalf, I may have given 4 stars "only", but him narrating about the wanderings of the Ringbearer Odysseus made it a better experience even for some of the parts that dragged. :)

I heard a lot of people praising the translation by Emily Wilson (it's apparently much shorter both b/c of style and meter), but no Ian M. for narrator. :))

Thank you! I really appreciate it. 🥰
