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

Benita, I'm going to move your cat book to stationery on cover. That pad of paper works, I think. If you get another cat book read before I get one done, great. Otherwise I have one that can cover that spot. Just need to finish my elephant book. :)

@Tammie, I know you're vacation just started. You have 3 different books on the Wheel planning sheet for these tasks, Deep Blue Goodbye, More Than Music, and also either Ms. Demeanor or With Friends Like These. What would you like me to put you down for?


I have one I can do for the 3.01 - 3.5 rating, if that affects your decision. But mine is in the 400 page range. :)

Go for it!

I moved it to Young Adult

New Tasks

Tower Teams 4: NBRC Goals
Read a book with an average goodreads rating of between 3.01 and 3.5
Read a book with diamonds on the cover or with a night sky that looks like diamonds
Read a book with stationery on the cover
Read a book where the page numbers add to 5 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

Tammie, I already requested a re-spin. I figured we could do each twice and then decide what we want to re-do. Sorry. Should have waited to talk to to you all about it.

@Benita, for the genre tasks, it has to be the exact genre. So Fantasy doesn't work. We need a MPG of DARK Fantasy.

I don't know that I've ever seen Guilty Pleasure show up on the main page, and Dark Fantasy is a niche genre, as well. So the the best ones to look for out of what we have left are going to be Dystopia, Young Adult, and Horror.


Fantasy would be so much easier, for sure!

I just found out the bad guys in my Cat book are Dark Elves, so I'll switch it to Elves. I'll read the 2nd in the series for Cat if no one else reads a Cat by then.

New Tasks:

Tower Teams 7: Sins
Read four books that have one of the following MPGs. Each book must have a different MPG (i.e. can't use Romance four times)
MPGs: Dystopia / Young Adult / Historical Romance / Guilty Pleasure / Dark Fantasy / Contemporary / Horror


ETA: Historical Romance and Contemporary or done, so we're looking for 2 MPGs of: Dystopia, Young Adult, Guilty Pleasure, Dark Fantasy, Horror

I’ll go ask, but Laura will need to add to our SS…if someone doesn’t reply right away :)"

I just finished a book, so I'm updating the spreadsheet anyway.

Tammie wrote: "Could someone add Ivie and Forever to the SS for me?
See post 914 and 915
Thanks much"

Done

Dearest Ivie was a good one!

If you decide to do one of these options, just take Magic Claims off there.

My book for the current pair has a MC librarian. And so does the next one in the series. So if no one has anything else by the time I finish in the morning, I'll start the next one for the new librarian task.


The good news is that we can't get either set of Discworld tasks again, unless we decide we like them. :)

New Tasks:

Tower Teams 8: Discworld Bingo
Read a book you can connect to an elephant
Read a book you can connect to elves
Read a book you can connect to cats
Read a book you can connect to The Librarian (an orang-utan)

@Lory, can you put Carrie Soto on your Tower shelf and mark it as read, please? Thanks!

Benita found a Princess/Rogue book (duh! Of course The Princess Bride works!) and I finished my android book, so I'll get us some new tasks shortly.

For the Princess/Rogue tropes book. Remember that it doesn't need to be an actual princess. Just the trope.

Books read by other teams:
The Princess and the Rogue
My Fair Captain (MM)

I remember the old Disney movie for that book. That was my first experience with a movie being better than a book.

That one works for Jedi!

We can’t ignore the A in the title, so that one doesn’t work. Bummer.

I’m going to plan on reading Magic Claims. Once I’m done, I can listen to a Kate Daniels, if no one else has done one.

I’ll finish my current two, then Magic Claims. Then the Android book, followed by the Chipmunk book. (All 3 of those are 200 pages, so quick reads). Then I’ll do Kate. I wouldn’t mind going to Greece and getting super mad at Curran anyway! If anyone finds one for any of these spots, just say so and I’ll change my plans.
