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

Everyone who is reading the BOM books, please make sure to link your messages with your DQ answers in the spreadsheet!

I'm reading Hell Bent which is the second book in a series of two, so it counts as series finale.

Edit: apparently there's a third book that's supposed to come out, and the comments section made me realise I don't really want to read this book anyways. So, hunt for spoilers and then call it a day it is.

Richard, do any of these four books fit the new tasks in Mini 2?

Perfect! Great job everyone! That's three cheeses down already

Elizabeth - I've not processed the books other than those needed for the cheese; I'll get to them in a bit, and will keep Cameroon in mind :)

For our newest cheese, it's almost been filled up. We only need two more books - O and Q.

Please let us know if your book has a Q or an O (again!).

I'm going to go with yes

Richard wrote: "I've got a U book on the way today"

Perfect! You've got the moose one as well, right?

Thanks to the rule that allows us to use books read after the initial cheese was lobbed, most of the cheese has been completed already. These are the only letters left:

U
R
O
O

If the task says colour, eg red white and blue on cover, is it just those colours or can it be a multi coloured cover containing those colours and others?

Thanks."

Just those colours need to be on the cover.

Thanks everyone!

My busy day worked out for me here, I didn't end up having to make a decision after all 😂😀

Thanks, Insiyah. I had initi..."

No worries! Try to put down multiple options for the Minis whenever possible, because it really helps us when we're strategizing and assigning books to the Minis in the most useful way
