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

Nice reading everyone! Keep an eye out for "U"s if you can - I know we are kind of burned out on them.

@Bobbi - can you put Deck Z on your wheels shelf?

@Lindsay - I couldn't tell from the Matza Ball book description about the "musician" thing - does the book have a MC musician or a musician author? We have to give a reason.

It is for sure fine with me as long as it's not a huge burden on you. If any of the rest of you would like to do a musician book though, please speak up!

I keep finding M books

Thanks for the update Kari - I hope your travels go well!

Then I'll hope for lots of reading time too :) But either way - travel safely!

You are taking the path less travelled :) Good job finishing that!

I added it to my to-read! Thanks!

Thanks Bobbi - smart thinking :)

I have it all in the main spreadsheet to here... but will keep an eye out in case.

Thanks LaurLa! Haha and yeah Amanda - that's rough to stop when you're loving the book! Which one is it?

This is a much happier day for me than 2 weeks ago! :)

A is fine - I'll move the one on A to something else.

Well done Janine - I swear with the number of books you read (which is amazing) - the amount of "bookkeeping" you have to do is also amazing. We sure appreciate you.

Leslie I had no idea that was possible - what a great discovery!

And Amanda - THANK YOU so very very much for your help! You have made a huge difference!

Here is the countdown timer, for any last minute books. I finished my last two for this round - need to update my shelves & will get them in.

Yeah this was a hard word!
Amanda I think that new one works for Orange. In fact, with that one, tineye also pulls the 50% orange, so we don't have to measure (which my math brain gets tempted to do). Ha that would have been a good story problem for my students.

Here's the information about "musicians" for the other bonus:
Read books written by or about musicians. This could be non-fiction about a musician or band; or it could be fiction - in which case the main character(s) should be a professional musician (or aspiring). Someone who plays an instrument for personal pleasure only doesn't count.

Oh boy...color covers. They always make me feel like I should go back to kindergarten because I can't identify colors!

Nanci, I'd agree the first two you listed are plenty orange and the third isn't quite enough.

Just using MY eye, I feel like #1, 8 and 9 look orange to me. #4 and 5 look orange to me too, especially when I look at the bigger covers. Tineye says they are pink, but tineye can be crazy.

For color covers we can just use team consensus and we are supposed to use common sense - i.e. looking at a book and thinking "yes, that cover is mostly orange." So feel free to chime in with opinions and books!

And hooray for needing only 5.

Way to handle the slump Cordelia! Thanks for checking in :)
