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

Benita, I posted about it here last night, but I think it got overlooked as it was the last post on the previous page. The audio I found on Audible was just under 3 hours.

Benita, I did get an answer about Two Old Broads. Because it is nonfiction we can’t use it for a character task. So we’ll just leave it in there for Chaser.

Outside works. I don’t think the other 2 answer within the title the question “which way did the elf go?”

Quick update on our Wheel tasks:

Quidditch - 2 done, 2 pending
BEATER in title - Lindsay, Truth or Beard
CHASER in title - Benita - Two Old Broads

Centaurs - 4 pending
Forest on cover - Stacey - Magic Claims
Archer - Laura - Goddess of the Hunt (currently reading, will be done in the morning)
MPG Classics - Lory - Crooked House
Wise Character - Benita - Santa Cruise

Find the Elf - 2 done, 1 pending, 1 unclaimed
Keely - Carrie Soto is Back (may need to be replaced; she said she's in a reading slump and going on a road trip)
Need another direction in title book

@Benita - I'm trying to understand your Medicine Wagon series.

It looks like Teton Mountain Fever and Cheyenne are the same book, with different names? But Cheyenne only has audio editions, so Teton Mountain Fever is better with a page count.

Trouble in the Teton Valley doesn't have an different named edition, correct? So we only have the audio edition to go by? If that is the case, we can't use it because books with audio only must be at least 3 hours and will count for 100 pages, no matter how long. Audible shows this one to be 2 hrs 52 min.

◈ Audio books are allowed. (For page numbers, use the "default" GR book page numbers. If the "default" is a Large Print version, use the next most popular edition for page numbers.
If there is no print / ebook, then the audio book must be longer than 3 hours, and page numbers will be set at 100 pages, no matter how long the audio is)

@Benita - can you put a read date on Lil's Bus Trip and on The Fighting Doctor, please? Thanks!

That is a bummer. But thanks for being understanding about it!

We do have Lory reading a classic Agatha Christie, so we're good to go for the task!

I’m double checking in the captain’s group to see if we could switch it. For the purposes of spell-outs, nonfiction books don’t have characters, so I want to make sure we could use it based on the authors.

@Benita - Do you think Two Old Broads: Stuff You Need to Know That You Didn’t Know You Needed to Know would work for the character who is wise task?

Lory wrote: "I can read Crooked House for the classics MPG, unless there is one nearly finished. It's pretty short, but it'll probably take me at least until tomorrow night."

Sounds perfect! I'll add it to the spreadsheet.

Keely wrote: "I am going to work on Carrie Soto is Back and I should be able to finish it or get close if that helps with a task. I'm on my phone so I can't really look properly right now."

I'll put it for the direction in title task.

@Benita - Can you a read date for Lil's Bus Trip to your shelves, please?


We won't be able to use The Little Foxes. Unfortunately, plays fall under the same category as childrens/poetry. I did find an audio version, but it is only 1 hour 42 minutes.

I won't delete it just yet, in case you have knowledge of it that I don't have.

All the genres that have to have a verified word count/audio at least 3 hours: MPGs Childrens / Kids / Poetry / Play / Graphic Novel / Illustrated / Photography / Art (or which have "Illustrated" in the title or an "Illustrator" contributor in the metadata)

Lol. Good luck on the lectures. I put it on the spreadsheet for you.

For direction words, think of it like this:

How about thinking about it like: can the title words answer a question like "which way did the elf go?!" So In the Lives of Puppets doesn't work, but Out of the Clouds: The Unlikely Horseman and the Unwanted Colt Who Conquered the Sport of Kings works.

But, using the author's name also, it works for Chaser.

Benita, what task are you reading it for? I can put it down for you.

New Tasks!

We've got Tower Teams 3: Find the Elf
Read 4 books with a direction word in the title (e.g up / down / east)
The words can be repeated

Lory wrote: "I finished Grave Memory - That finishes up the task."

I saw that and am requesting now.

Can you put Grave Memory on your Tower shelf, please? Thanks!

Darn it. I don't have any credits!

Magic Claims works. Is the audio out now?
