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

Question about scoring. It looks like each book we used for a Wheel task was only worth 10 points, with a 5 point bonus for each wheel completed. But if we had counted that book towards our tower, anything over 100 pages would have been worth more than 10 points. And all those 300 page books would have been worth a lot more than 10 points. It seems like we should have kept all of them in our tower instead of using them for wheel tasks. Am I missing something?

Beneath the Sugar Sky had spear in the text. It's currently being used in the Wheel for the charity task, but I'm reading the next book in the Wayward Children series right now that we could use instead.

Could Beneath the Sugar Sky be associated with Charity since Eleanor runs a home for abandoned or "troubled" children? I'm reading it now.

I've finished! That should wrap up one wheel. :)

I'm 75% of the way done with my wheel book for the chipmunk prompt. I'll finish it tonight.

Completed my third maze! Going to take a break, but I'll probably be back... like last time. ;)

No problem. I added it to the ss, and will start it tomorrow.

I'm about 75% of the way done with a 400 page book and about 85% done with a 500 page book. I can start a wheel book, or another 500 pager - what do we need more?

I have books on my TBR that I can read for chipmunk or zebra. Let me know if we need it.

Drowned Country, which I finished on 7/17, has Fae in it, so should work for the Elves task.

I finished Practice Makes Perfect yesterday and it would work for princess/rogue trope. She's the beautiful virgin and he's the dashing, womanizing rake.

I remember you saying you like to keep track!"

Thanks for letting me know. :)

I added Mordacious to the ss so that's one more 500 pager that should be done this weekend. And I'll start another one after that.

I also plan to start reading How to Walk Away this weekend, and it has a character (Ian) that we could use to replace Immortality if that's useful to you.

I'm currently in a 500 pager that I don't think is on the spreadsheet already but I'll double check. And with my husband leaving town for all of next week, I can for sure get another one done as well. ;) I'll go through my tbr and add one to the ss today so you can count it.

I just finished Exasperating by Onley James. She has a couple of secondary series that could work. Anybody read one recently, or plan to?

Judith - can you tell me if any of my books were used for Muses? I absolutely don't mind - I just like to keep track so I know which books are still available for future prompts. thx

I'm currently reading Flight of the Magpies which features a magician and also spells MOIST in the title. I will finish it this weekend.

I tossed my Young Adult that I finished last night into the Sins task. It was in an O spot, though, so if you'd rather have it in the Team Tower page, I can move it back.

Strange the Dreamer ended on a cliffhanger!! ugh.. why do authors torture us like this?? lol

Aoife! you're up again. HEHE

Well, anyone who wants to read about bakers, baking, sugar, etc"

I have Sugar, Cream or Murder I was..."

You can replace my book if you want, since you're finished and I have just barely started! I'll put my book back in the Team Tower.
