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

Hello everyone,

Just wondering what we should be focusing on. I know we are close to completing some of the Team tasks but I also noticed that we are all reading for all 7 books. Should we put more of a focus on those couple of task requirements we need to complete a book or should we just keep going the way that we are? Or should we be focusing on the character spell-out or the maze? I want to get the most bang for what we are reading at this point since time seems to be slipping away quickly. I know we have one more quidditch match before it's all said and done and that takes some of our players away. Thanks for the suggestions!

Go Team Ginny Weasley we may be small but we are mighty!

Kadin

Kadin by Mel Teshco

Finished: 8 August
Pages: 101

Read for maze.

I think I figured out a square for Book 4 Task 1. Here it is:

Hangin' Out With Cici (top)
Here Comes Mr Right (left side)
I Know What You Did Last Summer (right side)
The Rooster Bar (bottom)

Trial by Fire

Trial by Fire by Cara Putman

Finished: 6 August

Pages: 224

Works for Book 5, Task 2 Read a book with "Trial" in the title.

I just noticed that there's a spot to claim tasks at the top of the spreadsheet, from here on I'll use it-SORRY If I'd only open my eyes I'd see so much more...lol

The Lawyer Lifeguard

The Lifeguard Lawyer by James Patterson & Doug Allyn

Finished: 5 August

Pages: 144

Works for:
Book 5, Task 2, Read a book where the main character is a lawyer

Not bad it took awhile to get into. I had to put it down for awhile because I just couldn’t get into the first couple of chapters. I finished my other book and then said to myself “get to it!” Once I got past the first 3 or 4 chapters it was good. I’m glad I read it since I never saw the movie. I’d be up for another maze book 😉

The Outsiders

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

Finished: 4 August

Pages: 192

Read for the maze.

The Medical Examiner

The Medical Examiner by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Finished: 4 August

Pages: 144 pages

Works for:
Book 5, Task 2, Read a book MPG crime

Nancy Drew Mystery Stories : The Secret of The Old Clock and The Hidden Staircase

The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene

Finished: 3 August

Pages: 180

Works for:
Book 3, task 2 read a book with a clock on the cover

👍 will do 😃

To be considered realistic fiction does it have to be tagged as this? I have a book The Medical Examiner by James Patterson that fits the bill of being short. It’s a murder mystery, FBI, police, crime filled book, will this work?

She's Out of His League: A Story of Love, Baseball and Happy Endings

She's Out of His League by Kate Curran

Finished: 2 August

Pages: 223

Works for:
Book 1, task 1 Read a book with a baseball bat on the cover

I’ll keep looking...

Since the relax/calm book can be a variation of those words what about if we used the word cozy? I have a book that is tagged 90 times.

Definitely going fast but that’s good! Hopefully we’ll complete the maze first. I’ll hold on to it

No worries thanks for the help!

ok that makes sense for the explanation! Thanks also for the definition.

Just noticed that Donna posted for the maze so I went on to look at the directions for the maze which seem pretty straightforward. I am thinking that we won't know what to read next until the book is posted so we know which direction to go in next. The page looks wonky & is possibly not loading completely? Not sure but right now it has book of crime with some blank spots for the title etc. is this correct? Can books for the maze also be used for the tournament?
Also, what does MPG stand for? I know so many questions-sorry.
