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

I may have been overzealous for this round. I will finish the books I have on the spreadsheet, but I had mentioned having some more instrument books to read. I don't think I'll get to all of them.

I think things might have gotten messed up on the tracking sheet the last time stuff was moved around. My book The Best Thing is on line 88 for a Z, which is where I put it. It's also on line 78 for a T. If it's going to be used for a T, I won't prioritize it and might not get it done in time. But it obviously can't be used for both! :)

I didn’t expect chapter 25 either!

I'm leaving super early Saturday morning for a Thanksgiving week at Disneyworld. The kids and I are super excited. And I've been promised every afternoon off to rest (and read!). So I really hope we get our new word in time for me to do some planning.

I'm second on the list at my library for Starter Villain. But I've been second on the list for 2 or 3 weeks now, so hopefully it will start to move soon.

The struggles of a fast reader! I was super lucky that my library acquired 100 audio copies! I was #88 on the wait list, so we got it on the day it came out. That almost never happens with libraries. Even if you're first, they still have to purchase it and process it in.

That ending! I can't wait for the next one!

That is pretty funny!

. It works for multiple challenges for me, so yay! I have an audio copy, with that cover. But Goodreads doesn't have that edition. I figured no problem, I'll shelve the Kindle edition with that cover, since that's the page count that would get used anyway. Then I realized one of the narrator's has a Z name, so I asked a librarian friend of mine to add the edition. Once it gets added, I'll change the link I've got on the spreadsheet, and make sure to shelve the correct edition. But I'm moving it to the Z spot in the meantime and didn't want any confusion if it gets checked before she gets it added.

Never mind. She's super speedy and it's already added. :)

I’m glad to finally be curling up with a book."

I burned an hour or so at the DMV, but that was my own fault for going around lunch time. But I did get all my errands run. I'm hoping to finish up Iron Flame tonight. I'm loving it so much, but my kid finished before me and is having a really hard time not spoiling anything.

We've got no cap on color covers (and I think blue is the best color for this!) and no cap on instruments!

I've got 6 more instruments on cover to read!

It has a poetry MPG, so page count doesn’t matter. You need either an audio edition over 3 hours, or a verified word count of at least 30,000 words. Arbookfind is mostly children’s books, but you can try US, UK and Australian Arbookfind. Sometimes a book will be on one of them but not the others.

It sounds like you might not be able to use this one.

Is there an audiobook? If the audio is at least 3 hours, it works.

Yeah, I had realised that would be the case when I ..."

I don't mind. Just trying to save you some work. :)

I’m currently reading the one that’s been moved to the bottom, Hands Down. 3.5 hours left, so will finish tonight/in the morning.

Hey captains. Just wanted to say that I am reading/listening my Z books in the order in which I put them on the spreadsheet. I understand that things get moved around as other things are finished first, but I thought it might make it easier for you guys to know that to make moving things around easier, rather than watching you move things down and then move them back up, while moving others down, only to need to move than back up. :)

I’ve read all of the In Death books. And 7-8 of her contemporary romances.

I think she only has the In Death books (57!) under that name. Everything else is under Nora Roberts.

I'm currently reading Payback in Death. There's just a little bit of time spent with Roarke's family, and that is always fun to see!

I have a few more instruments that I haven't put on the spreadsheet yet. When I finish what I do have on there, I'll see what we still need.

We're over on the covers at least partially because of the 2 I posted here the other day. I finished them and marked them on the spreadsheet just in case we get extra bonuses.

Double checking these 2. I just finished them and realized they probably work for blue. So in case we get to do more than 5, thought I would check here.

Moved my R to an I because I found a character!

When I have a book that is MPG Childrens, do you captains want me to post the word count here, somewhere on the spreadsheet, or just leave it for you to verify?

For now, I read When You Reach Me, with a word count of 39,253.
