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

Omigosh... How did I miss that?!

Yes!

Okay... let's talk about something.

The main goal of the challenge is to read. Not just maze or the minis or the BOMs - those are bonus.

The core of the challenge is to read. For each book we read, we get 0,1 points per page. Meaning a 410 page book will give us 41 points. And a 120 page book will give us 12 points.

Maze or Minis? Those are just 5 points per book. So read to your heart's content. Add everything to the SS.

LOL

Well, they did say that if I wanted to have off days during the summer, they would make it happen - by law, and with no term contracts, I can't take vacation days before the 6 months period is done.

So, they're not bad people.

What's that when it's at home? lol.

I had a friend round last week, and I kept wondering to myself how long she was planning ..."

You did not?

Who am I kidding, you totally did.

My only regret of changing jobs is that my beautiful 2 weeks off in July are no longer a reality.

*pouts*

Good morning team!!!!

Well.. is more like lunch time here, but you get the drill.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes.. I took two days off from work, and had a loooong weekend.

So, reading something fun?

I have been enjoying the reading without tasks to fill up feeling and knocked out the Lords of Discord series (which I discovered due to one of the mini tasks) and the new K.M. Neuhold that released last friday.

*bliss*

Now is time to add them all to the spreadsheet. Not that they are big books, but are all 350+ so, lots of points anyway.

Happy readings.

Yeah the quotes where a nice touch. I also liked the fact that the beyond borders started with proverbs from each of the countries the action was set.

@Sammy: Criminal Minds beyond borders only has 2 seasons. And it has plenty of Matt.

Lol

Yeah, Derek was awesome. And I adored Garcia.

Matt appears in one ir two episodes that are either crossovers or the IRT team is needed.

When Moore (Derek Morgan) leaves the series, Adam Rodriguez (Luke Alvez) joins the cast, and on the next one the IRT team no longer exists, so Matt is assigned to the BAU.

They wanted to make Matt the muscle like Morgan was. But, they also made him a father of 4, and very sweet and connected

He won't be on criminal minds recurring cast till season 13

So, I finally completed my Criminal Minds, and Criminal Minds - beyond borders watchaton.

My current obsession? Matt Simmons. He's the complete package. Plus, he rides a bike.

Congrats Karen.

The lego references made me giggle. It was like me asking "where the heck is your Aussie accent?"

LOL

Good Morning Team!!!

June's BOMs - the image is linked to discussion, just click to go there.

And that meaaaans... WE HAVE ALL MINI TASKS DONE and some spares :D

Awesome job team!!!

Actually you forgetting was a good thing, otherwise it would have gone to the Royal in title - we used your Queens book for that one :D

Damn, I finishe..."

And that's you're my favorite!!!!

Just kidding, but I am so happy right now I could dance!!!!

I've got one, but is a 6 hour ..."

No worries, I can do it. It's not going to be a long book as I would prefer, but, being a mood reader has its consequences sometimes.

Besides, a 176 page book will earn us 18+5+5 so, it's not a bad thing :D

Plus, as long as it has a read date, and it's tagged on your challenge shelf, it will be added.

Not everyone can access the ss, so we always do a shelf sweep to make sure no book is missed.

Uhmmm... We're going to do captain tetris in the morning. So. They might be on two places. On the tracking spreadsheet tab books or tab books read.

I can't link now cause I'm on my phone, but I added the link on the thread's first page.

I read that book twice. How on earth did I miss that blasphemy?
