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

Thank Karen. That makes sense. 😀

Go for it , Richard!

About the cap, if other team members are under theirs because of real life stuff can other team members make up the numbers? Or is that too complicated to work out for the Captains? Just wondering if this could be an option for future Tower Teams?

Hi everyone,

Can't believe TT is nearly over for another year. It's such fun.

I've got one book left to finish my cap so I'll read this one from a series which I love . It's got Notre Dame on the cover. For Cathedral on cover - Spain.

Awesome! thanks.

Takes place in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Mississippi - does the book have to take place in ALL these States or just one, or a couple?

Thank U

Ardent is done - new monster is down on the Mississippi - Micajah and Wiley Harpe.

It was actually Tina who was asking, hope it all works now anyway.

I'm currently reading a book which has Watermelon in the Text. WW 49

Yay, France should be an easy country to read for!

Only 2 weeks to go to the end of TT 2025. (Very sad face )

New Monster is up - Bond, James Bond.

Also, I got a DQ day for The Tainted Cup. Not bad, we have got a DQ day for all but the first BOTM."

Well done Preeti. Hope you enjoy the book.

All good. I will be finished with pho today. The book is such an interesting read which is an added bonus when you only pick it up for a challenge .

Oh no, so sorry to hear that Karen. Hope things improve soon.

I'd say yes as well. Using the 50% rule as you described fits most challenges. Go for it.

I'll be picking up the Geisha one from the library today and should have it finished in a couple of days.

That will complete Japan.

I also have the Pho one up next to complete the Food Challenge 1.

You take it Elisabeth. I had found it in a book but haven't started it yet. And only reading it to meet the task.

Oh no, Karen. Hope things improve for you very soon.

After spending lovely, hectic time with the grand kids I'm trying to catch up.

And my sister and I are planning our next adventure for 2026. Driving holiday of south - east England.

Happy Birthday Richard for the 29th! Glad you had a lovely lunch with your Mum.

I've now found books for Kimchi and Pho - so that covers the food challenge Part 1.

I've got books with paella and naan up next. Just been a bit slow this week because I've had the five grand children but should be back up to speed by Tuesday.. when school goes back. 😊

I've also found one For Cherry blossoms on the cover and I'll pick it up from the library on Wednesday.
