Lisa - (Aussie Girl)’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Detour for me - I have this one I really want to read. . We need minimum 4 to do the detour. And it looks like everyone is up for it so far. 😊

Not yet. According to the spreadsheet, Cat and Maddy are still to finish the Stop, scheduled for 23 August. So another week yet.

But just to start thinking about it -

Stop 4 - Detour is Read a book that the title starts with a number.
- Place is Jakarta, Indonesia.

Finished for Stop 3.



Detour - 5 hours 48 minutes.

3.5 stars

Oh no, Sally. No stressing allowed in this team, LOL. Enjoy your book.

Sally, you can always Read any book if you can't find one.

Namita, the detour was one of the Scottish Female Names in the top 100 so you might like to change your book.

Congratulations to the winners... and everyone who participated. What a great Challenge. And special shout to the Mods and all the Team Captains. Thanks for all your hard work for our challenge pleasure.

See you all back for the next NBRC Team Challenge! 💖

... and we're finished. Thanks everyone for being a great team. And a huge thanks to Tina for being an awesome Captain.

We've all done so well. Hope we can get off the bottom, LOL.

I've got one more to add before the end. I should have it finished in about 8 hours. The only good thing about covid lockdown.

I have a couple of books in my scheduled August reading which say they are audio but doesn’t give me a time in the goodreads details."

Sally, I look on Amazon. In the book details, if you scroll down it tells you how many audible hours.

Yeah, I checked on Amazon. I've never "read" a book on audio. I'll have to try it some day.

I'm up for the detour for Stop 3 as well. I don't read in audio and it took me a while to work out the timing between pages to hours. This one at 236 pages is 5 hours 48 minutes -

Stop 2 - Read a book with a female Top 100 Scottish name for Author -

Emily March 4 stars - Finished 30 July 2021.

Finished and .

I may be able to squeeze one more in, we'll see how I go.

Finished . 3.5 stars.

Sorry, Sally. I checked the spreadsheet. It is top 100 female names in Scotland .

Read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 female names in Scotland according to nameberry (http://nameberry.com/popular_names/Sc...)

The first part of the detour is not coming up in the link. Sorry.

Great Jenny. That completes Stop 1.

Would you mind letting the Mods know that Cat has replaced Abir and add Cat to the spreadsheet. Ta.

Detour it is then...

Read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 female names in Scotland according to nameberry (http://nameberry.com/popular_names/Sc...)
