Allison Ann’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm having trouble finishing books again. Not starting them, I'm very good at that. :D One added to the spreadsheet for yestereday - for RIND. I'm chipping away at the Reindeer in title book.

That's awesome Karen. Yay for us!

First book of the week on spreadsheet. - only works for RID.

Posted my last book for the week. works for the last N in our 10th readthrough. :)

Added my finished book to the spreadsheet. I have one more I will finish tonight or tomorrow and then we'll see about a last short book.

I didn't ask for a "read books" thread, because I personally find it more confusing for everyone - especially those who use the app.

I think you captains are doing a great job. I personally like everything in one thread because then I only have to read one thread. :D

Can't get that one, but I can read The Reindeer People for title.

I'm happy about this call. I've been putting aside E and I books all week.

I have never seen the movie, I didn't know we were a villain. The picture looks like a big happy lumpy guy :D

Added and to the spreadsheet, both work for BRN.

Finished for BROW on spreadsheet.

Another book on spreadsheet for BRWN. I promise to find an O book next. :D

Has any one else here read it?"

I liked the first three books very much and I'm not a romance reader (although I love time travel). And the 850 pages goes fast. Not sure about the character names for BROWN though. Definitely an R, maybe a B, can't think of any Ws offhand and I don't think the N I am thinking of shows up until the 2nd book.

Last book for the week posted to spreadsheet.

I tried to read longer books this week but it just didn't work out. So I finished two shorties yesterday and added them to the spreadsheet. And I have one more on the go that I will finish before the deadline today.

This was my first reading and I loved it. Except the dog killing. Please tell me that doesn't continue through the series.

No problem. I have trouble reading series out of order too. If I read the first 2-3 at least, then I don't mind as much. But starting at #18 might not be as enjoyable. :D

Added to the spreadsheet. Works for RAVEL

It is book 18 in the series and I've never read any of them, but I'm sure it will be fun. LOL. For s..."

I do read that series and I'm on Whisker of Evil which also works for W if you don't want to read a random cat & dog person cozy mystery. :)

Is the colour cover over 50% or more than that?

Finished The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain for the MPG travel book.

I've been trying to get hold of a copy of but no luck. I'm not going to pay that much money for YA (which I generally don't love). So, hopefully someone else here will be reading for the extra points?

Wouldn't have been my first choice, but I think I might be a little weird in this respect. Books, TV and movies always have people desperate to find out about their 'birth" parents. If I found out today that I was adopted, I wouldn't really care, unless there were medical issues.

I guess I truly don't understand how being adopted would make you feel bad. Someone picked you! You weren't just an accident of genetics, you were chosen. My brain just doesn't understand feeling abandoned. Either the birth parents couldn't take care of you and wanted you to go someplace better or you were taken away from them for a reason. I guess I'm a nurture over nature person.

If I found out my birth father was in prison, my first thought wouldn't be to go visit. I would at least find out the story before I even considered it. I get the feeling Rachel would have visited him no matter what if he was her actual sperm donor. Why people deliberately inflict horrible people on themselves? Most people in prison for violent crime are not good at heart. My opinion anyway.
