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

I know A Day Like This has a gallery in it. If you have KU it is one of the books that you can get the audio also. But be warned that it is a tearjerker.

Open tasks:

Read a book which has the main location (setting) on the Antarctica continent
Read a book that is in the Have Passport Will Travel List (list is linked on the spreadsheet)
Read a book that is in the Sizzling Summer Sensations List (list also linked on the spreadsheet)
Read a book set in your home state/country
Read a book where the first word in the text is "They"
Read a book where the first word of the text is "One"
Read a book where a character visits a museum or gallery

New task:

Read a book where a character visits a museum or gallery

Perfect! I'll get us a new task!

Hey team!

Jacqueline's book The Lightning Thief works for both MPG Adventure (Traveling Task) and MPG Mythology (Greece task). I'm trying to decide where to put it on the planning sheet. Does anyone have anything for either of those spots?

Perfect! And then when my hold comes in sounds like it’ll work for the island vacation task.

New task!

Read a book where a character gains independence

@Jacqueline - Might Obviously fit this task?

Putting it for Mythology is perfect!

My book also works for a G. So don’t worry about moving yours.

I have Paradise Problem on hold at the library. It has said “Available Soon” since I first put the hold on it. Hopefully soon! That will knock out Korea and get us another country. I’m hoping for a long country name with lots of letters.

The characters in my book got a plane! I'll put it down for that, but I'm still holding out hope that as part of his grovel he'll take her to an island.


Has anyone read Wilder by Rebecca Yarros? The book description sounds like there could be islands involved, but I'm not sure about the vacationing part. I picked up a copy before Costco got rid of their book table and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since.

Never mind about the plane. I see Tricia's got that one covered.

Catching Fire is on the list (#114) - Ashley has it on the spreadsheet
I saw a couple of Percy Jacksons on the list. I know Jacqueline said she was reading one.

New tasks!

Read a book where a character visits a castle or palace
Read a book that is in the Sizzling Summer Sensations List: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
Read a book set in your home state/country
Read a book where a character gets on a plane


For the home state/country task, I assume that if you live in the United States you need to use your home state. If you live outside of the United States you would use your country.

I just moved it to the second itinerary.

I do have Threads That Bind on my physical shelf. It came in a book box a few years ago and I haven't read it yet.

Greek authors. Most of the books on this shelf are showing in Greek alphabet. But if you click on the books and look at other editions there should be English titles for a lot of them.

Jacqueline wrote: "Have we used Obviously: Stories from My Timeline.. yet?"

Not yet.

Tricia wrote: "For the future, the Vegetarian had a Y character and an I character."

I think I saw that, and since we already had a V character in Fever Beach I didn't use it for the V.

We can't have banked books in the itineraries. Since Ashley finished the Q book, which is also a Columbia book, I'm going to switch it with Bernadette's Morocco book. Then which ever book is finished first (Morocco or Aiswyra's Fuji book) can be placed/left in Itinerary #1 and the other can go in #2.

We have about 3 more Is available, but Os, Us and Qs might need to be saved.

The first gap was about a week. But after that first one, now that we have banked books to use, the gap between these last two was 3 days.
