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

I'm sure sorry you guys!

So our cable modem is down. I won't be able to get on til Saturday. So I can't do a full update or more Wheels etc. Thank goodness for great co captains! I'll check in on the app and try to read lots!

I like your strategy too of mixing it up Kirsten.

New spin: Quidditch
Read a book with the letters SEEKER in the title and/or author name
Read a book with the letters KEEPER in the title and/or author name
Read a book with the letters BEATER in the title and/or author name
Read a book with the letters CHASER in the title and/or author name

Requesting a new spin now (unless someone already has). I'll try to do a full update tonight, before I'm out of town for 3 days. We are currently in 3rd place but I think that's because they updated more recently :)

Up to a point it's better to do Wheel since we can keep on spinning til end of challenge. But we do need to finish the page count tower, and we can't count Wheel books for that. So it's a balancing act! We just need the longer books there.

I'd suggest that those who enjoy reading shorter books focus on Wheel, and those who enjoy (or at least tolerate) the longer books, focus on the pages tower (and hopefully use your books for one of the other minis too). When we finish the pages towers, we can re-assess.

But, of course, other opinions are welcome!

Keli, are you still ok to read your post-colonial book? If not, I'll grab one and listen while I'm doing house jobs :)

Thanks a bunch!

It'd actually be nice if you can read something for stationery (if that's ok). But if a different task calls to you, then I'll read that one.

Oh nice Apoorv - you saved the day again! Merriam-Webster definition:
materials (such as paper, pens, and ink) for writing or typing

So yes Janeylou, your pencil and pen would work. I'm sorry I was confused. I had a very narrow mental definition, and the first time I googled, it didn't help.

There isn't - but here is what team Ti used:
. Given that - I think my paper folded into a paper-airplane might work. Especially since it was a letter that the naughty kid folded (you can tell from the book description).

Definition: writing paper, especially with matching envelopes.

I'm going to see if anyone has asked about it in captains chat.

I think it needs the actual paper. Does it have that too?

Here are the only books I found that might possibly fit stationery. I can read any of them, but the first is probably the only one I could read today, and it's a piece of paper that was a letter folded into a paper airplane so ??? not sure if that (or any of them) would work. I'd love your opinions. And if someone else has a stationery book, feel free to take over!



Do you think any of these would work for stationery?

New Spin! Discworld Tasks:
Read a book featuring a witch or wizard
Read a book with MPG Crime
Read a book with the letters MOIST in the title
Read a book featuring DEATH or the Grim Reaper or equivalent

I just got onto the computer and will post those muses and get another roll. It looks like we are super close on the other two as well! I think someone had a post-colonial book they could read sometime soon? I'll look to see if I have stationery on the cover - lol that's an unusual prompt :)

Being aware of the longer books we need will help for sure. I think what I will do: today I'll finish the two books I have marked for wheel I will focus on the longer books, which will go well with my upcoming family reunion and camping trip :)

Movie alert! If you have the opportunity to see "The So..."

Thanks Nanci - I went to that a couple of weeks ago. Hard to watch, but so good.

Thanks Lisa!

I'd consider that a rebellion.

Thanks Leslie - it will for sure fit something. Have fun!
