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

I should be good to finish all my books by deadline…

Sorry about that! I definitely read the hardcover edition with 280 pages.

I've got to pick up one of those Sunshine Vicram books sometime!"
You really should, Melissa! The writing is hilarious and snarky - - two of my most favorite things!

I’m headed home tomorrow & am working on Murder in the Corn Maze by G.A. McKevettand A Hard Day for a Hangover by Darynda Jones. Hopefully I’ll have updates to report when I get home tomorrow. I do some of my best reading in airports!

Hi there, Team! Just wanted to let y’all know I’m leaving for Vegas tomorrow & will be there till the 13th. I may be quieter than usual, but I will be reading, especially while on the plane/at the airport. I will bring my iPad with me & will try to check in daily. I haven’t traveled anywhere since before the pandemic & I’m soooo excited!

For round 1 I will claim A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters with a blue cover. I will also read the BOM How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix for participation points…
Could someone please add these to the spreadsheet for me? Thank you ever so much…

LOVE opera! Some of my faves are Turandot, Norma, Aida, Carmen… I used to go to a bunch every year during the season for FREE because my cousin was a make up volunteer for the cast. Sadly, he is no longer with us and it’s so expensive! Also, no one to go with anymore! My husband absolutely refuses. We do love musical theatre, though, and try to go whenever a national road company comes to Hawaii…it’s been awhile now.

I'm Ashley, your extremely hilarious and eloquent Captain, as it is immediately obvious from my intro.... ..anyway... ..."

So sorry about the shelf mix-up! Glad you were able to find me after all...

I would like to be a housecat in my next life. Don't care what kind, just a fat lazy, beloved housecat.

If I could be any kind of dog, I'd pick Golden Retriever or German Shepherd. I think they're so beautiful! I would like to have a Frenchie as a pet...

Sadly, our apartment building does not allow pets! I grew up surrounded by animals & really miss not having even one now...

Aloha from Hawaii! I'm Lauri & am very excited to play Wheel again. I skipped last year because it was too close to Christmas. But now I'm baaaaack...
I work full-time at the State Hospital (yes, read mental hospital) in medical records. I'm an old married lady with 1 adult son. I have a bit of reading OCD & I love planning for these big challenges!

Captains & teammies, I will be asking for help because I can't use Excel to save my own life! Is it okay if I claim /post completion posts in this thread & ask for someone to add it on the spreadsheet for me?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

So…. When will teams be announced? The suspense is killing me!

Yaaayyyy! BRING it!

So sign ups on Saturday? That’s sooner, isn’t it????

And, soooooo? What is it? Where is it? And how can we sign up? Pleeeeezeee end the torture!

Thanks everyone, particularly our mah-velous Captains, for putting up with ME! Maybe one day I'll step into the 21st century, but not quite sure when THAT will be... I had a great time.

Steven, I still think you are super-fun. Can't imagine a world where you wouldn't be...

Hope everyone had as much of a blast as I had! I'll see you in the groups....
