Suzanne’s Comments (group member since Aug 13, 2015)

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

I can ask in Captains, but we often don't get an answer for awhile. BUT no matter what - that book will get us points - we have lots of mini-challenges to choose from.

(And thinking that if you read the sunset book it'll cover an N for TT.)

Leslie, we are thinking it has to be an after dark book. Do you have one?

(And we can for sure use Amanda's book when finished for something. Aaah - so exciting - babies are the sweetest. )

Good point about the cake in text - if someone has a book with that, we should use it.

I'll put you down for those two Janeylou

Vi - Kolti works for night sky - I can see stars. Are you ok with that as far as the time frame?

Actually, I'll ask here, because time is of the essence. Do you all think we can use the sunset for "night sky" or or do we need something "after dark"?

I agree about the white.

Leslie, that looks like a really good book! I'm not sure it'll work for night sky, but I'll ask. I think they may be looking something like stars/moon, etc. However, either way, you should read it. It would fill N and S in our last spellout if it doesn't work for night sky :)

New Spin/Tasks
Read a book with the night sky on cover
Read a book with all author initials in ELEPHANT
Read a book whose title starts with a letter from CHELYS (A, An, The count!)
Read a book set on a form of transport (e.g. train, ship, space ship)

Also have unclaimed task:
Read a book with a white cover

It says on the original Rules page:
ending on Tuesday 1 August, 9am UTC

Here's a countdown timer I created. TOO SHORT! (I don't want to lose you guys.)

Thanks Kerri - that is a great plan!

I'm going to go look for a countdown.

Concentrating on colour covers so we can move them across to rainbows if we can -

This looks light blue to me:


What do you think?

Not sure I’ll manage to finish more than that - ..."

That looks light blue to me - and Orphan X is the best! But don't worry too much about colors - I may be being totally wishful thinking about moving some - and I have a decent list - so read whatever you want!

Hooray! Huge thanks to all of you long book readers! It is wonderful having our reading towers officially done!

Of course, if you have one in progress that you can finish - we will LOVE those page points. Or medium books, or short books....love them all.

Sounds good!

New Wheel Tasks (for Tauntaun)

Read a book with a white cover
Read a book with the letters ICE in title (in any order)
Read a book with a large domesticated creature on cover (e.g. horse, cow, donkey)
Read a book with set of at least three repeated letters in the title (example: THI is repeated in the title THIs THIng of Darkness)

Awesome! I'll check those in and get a new spin right after I drop off the grandson :)

Yes! I just came back here to say that - eeeeee! I just did complete update and hooray! I'll admit I stared at it a bit :)

If you cannot fine a place for a book, please just message here. I can likely find something. And read like the wind! (Horrible analogy since the wind doesn't read, but you get what I mean.)

And really, whether or not we win, we'll know we've been trying our hardest!

I went through and made some notes for myself - I can easily free up 8 more common letters in TT by creating another rainbow, if we get to that point.

You are all so awesome! Thanks!

I am about 25% done with my 500 page book, but for now I'm going to focus on reading things as quickly as possible. But I'll finish my 500 pager if we need it.

Anyway, getting as many wheels as possible done is also good. Currently all the tasks are taken.
I need to finish my two Nero Wolfe books, and Leslie has one more left (in our series thing).
Amanda will finish her chocolate book and that'll get our cupcakes done.
Janine has the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw books which will finish our sorting hat.
