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

Problem is, chapters are in KU, darn omnibus isn't. *pouts*

I need to catch up/finish that series. Steven almost gave up on me. LOL.

So I was looking into my books, and I have the dragon books from AJ Sherwood on the 400 range, plus the Wil Wheaton book that I'm planning to listen to.

I might read the villany complete works - yes, it was released as a serial in smaller chunks, but the author's goal was always to do a omnibus after with a bonus story. She does that for all her serials.

We can't villany them individually and let it be, because it's a chapterized story.

Yeah, the 200-299 tier is also 4 books shy of being completed. Since I'm not that eager to go to Edovard's book next - the first chapter was on book#2 and it took the I want to know the arena results next - I might look into what books do I have in the 400 pages bracket that I'm willing to read next, since I still have a week before the next BOM starts - I am not reading the dino book, sorry.

We read all 30 books needed for the book tier 300-399, from now on, books in this page range needs to be tagged as free choice!

Thank you

(P.S: We'll change the ones currently on the planning sheet)

Good to know

Anyway... I messed around with planning spreadsheet, because I was getting annoying with all the sorting and copying things all the time in order to not mess up things.

So, I renamed the Books tab to Planning - aka were we put our planned and read books.

And created another tab, called books, were we (captains and awesome sidekick), put the books once they're all checked and ready to captain tetris.

Once the books are copied to the spreadsheet, we can hide them. I left the last one added visible, so it's easier to check with the main spreadsheet the last one to be transferred.

In case we eventually need Tetris, we have the book log all safely stored in there (Plus the auto-fill formulas are still functional which allows for keeping tabs on taks)

Speaking of teams. The assassin books I'm reading, one of the MC's, is part Thunderbird, and he can create Thunderstorms.

So, I'm using then for Thundercats :D

Let's see what my memory vault from the dawn of the dinosaurs has to say about that one... We were only 4 teams A, B, C and D. And then we named our team. It worker as a moniker, kinda like Alexander, the Great.

I was in team A, and our moniker was The A-Team - the show opening team still plays on my head every time I see the name, after all these years.

I can't remember the others but luckily, I remember Team C's, it was "C us Win"

So, I'd say anything related with win, see, or a pun would work.

Also, the origin of towers was to read 2013 books in 2013. SO we can play with that too. Or use books published back in 2013.

(I'd say we could do the same for the remaining winners, but we have to search which years they were. Editions I and II were in 2013... but I think III was only in 2015, but I can't say for sure)

Ooooohhh I like that idea. And I'm pretty sure LK (Tower Teams Mommy) would like it too. It's the thinking outside the obvious she loved for her challenges

Anytime!

Should finish Nine Perfect Strangers today!"

Living dangerously, I see.

Anyway, I totally forgot. So. The Ashley on the token tab (BOM spreadsheet) is you.

Why the only token? Because according to Cat, and I quote:

"Book of Cold Cases is the right Ashley (as per the link in the Participation Verified post at the start of the BOM)

For the others I don't see that she put in a summary post for verifying participation, so of course they weren't recorded."

Now, they won't be updting the ss, BUT, you can use them, if you do the summary at the end of the BOM threads.

What other players have done is create a post in BOM as a late verification post, so there's just one link back to the original BOM that I can check when tokens are turned in (allows me to double check they weren't already claimed too), so I suggest Ashley does that for the 2022 tokens she didn't already claim :)

So basically, what you did here, but on the corresponding BOM thread

Of course, the point of claiming the tokens is to have extra entries when volunteering for DQ's. They're only used for that.

(Sorry for the late answer, between work being bad to me and my headaches, something had to give)

Another one? :(

Gemini has three of them! (greedy so-and-sos! lol)"

Are you calling me greedy? Or Karen, for that matter?

Oooohhh That just gave me a perfect fit for team Lust... hear me out... Anything library related... like The Invisible Library series, or The Great Library series. Because it was a Librarian series that inspired Sammy's lust.

*giggles*

So, yesterday I ended up starting (and finishing, just don't tell Eni)


It was... well actually, I ended up linking it a lot, once I managed to pass the "competency is sexy, that's the love of my life" at first look and all the cheeseness... so many cheese quotes... oh lordy...

BUT, overall, I'm a sucker for those books, and already have the next two on my kindle app. KU for the win, just saying.

I also need to take a look at the planned books to decide which range should I focus after the murder sprees series.

I saw that. That means I have around a month to decide if I grab the portuguese edition from the library, of if I just buy it. Eni is a Stephen King fan, so the second wouldn't be a bad choice, in theory, however, I think that one is THE ONE book from Mr King she has no intention to read.

Unless I have the luck of being chosen for questions, option 1) is the one to go.

Anytime. And that bring us to today's pairing :

Wait, Kane appears on Angel?!

I guess I should watch the show too.

It's Christian Kane (yes, another Chris, LOL)

And a teaser... "It's what I do": https://youtu.be/orGwZtBXY44

So, no reading done today. We watched Thor love and thunder instead.

I knew there was a good reason to introduce you to leverage not just because Locke Lamora reminded me of it.
