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

Hm.. Someone is being identified as a "unindicted co-conspirator" but he wasn't officially found guilty...

Could non-fictions be considered for that prompt? I had thought that the content is considered to be events more than plots...

Updates: I found "OKRA" in the text!

Updates again: I'm officially removing 11.22.63 from the tracking sheet. Work stress & crazy weather is starting to get to me enough to bring on the beginnings of a book slump so I better play safe & read books that I really really enjoy for now.

A typical day in Singapore these days will consist of hot sun with high humidity levels, stifling you with heat and sweat, and then a sudden thunderstorm will show up to floods the roads with strong winds that will laugh at your feeble attempts to use an umbrella. I think I saw the wind blow rain almost horizontally earlier. I'm happy to be indoors with a cup of tea right now. Too bad it's still work hours so I'm not at home curled up with a book.

but it'll work for 5 letter word in title, and maybe food words too?"

Got it~ Thank you~

That's a neat trick! Learn something new everyday :)

Hi, I have a question.
I have a book, Funny Money which has MPG non-fiction but I can't see how many times it's been tagged because of the low reviews/rating?...

Can I use this for the non-fiction prompt?

I can do a #6 Vengeance in Death.

Direction: South

S - The Mane Event AFN Shelly
T - The Lotus Palace
O - The Lathe of Heaven CLN Orr

Niceee!

Can "quilted" count as a bonus word?

🤔 14 hrs to end of R2. I'll attempt to finish
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. It's a short one plus it has TAXES in title.

Will hit my cap for this round with this book.

Thank you for the reassurance, Cat.
Since it is the weekends for me already, I have started a solo readathon. I think I might finish one more book before this round ends.

I've moved 11.22.63 again.. to R3...
`(*>﹏<*)′ Now I'm hoping I can finish this before the challenge ends..

I bought this as I couldn't find the ebook version from my library.
I'm too used to reading ebooks on either my phone or computer that I have difficulty with reading physical books & kindle.

I probably need to do a tech purge just so I can concentrate on reading only.

That's great Sarah! That gives me more time to read. :)

Oh my! That's really hard then!

💡Or some title with "bOOksHop"

I'll claim G15 then. I have The Lost Bookshop.

Just an observation..

The book used for G14, The Book of Witching, could be used for G15 instead as it contains 1 H and 2 Os. Considering that G15 seems to be more difficult.

Just added Deal Breaker to shelf. Sorry, I forgot :P
