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

Things in the Arena can happen at any place and at any time. Though it's hard to believe it's soon going to end. When will it be over, why on Any Given Doomsday of course!

Ellis, he looks like he enjoys a good throwdown.

Just a reminder on the battles books must be started and finished during week 2 of Round 3. So please don't start books before Monday at 9am UTC (countdown in top post)

The last letters will hopefully pop up by the afternoon tomorrow.

Logan, you have dibs on the last book if you'd like it/have something that works.

I will need to get something over to D1 by early evening so they can get their last book sorted in time.

I flipped a coin and going with Emily's Any Given Doomsday.

That’s works too. Any of them would work fine.

Who’d like it? There’s one more book that’ll need to be picked tomorrow.

Whoever doesn’t take this one can get first go at battle book 10.

Have a preference between Any Given Doomsday and Any Day Now?

Those two give the most options I think.

I found Any Witch Way You Can on KU. It’s fairly short and the author’s books in the past have been easy reads.

Books on my tbr either did not appeal to me to read or had bad endings.

I’ll wait a bit longer to see what else people have

Does anyone have a battle book that starts with ANY they can read next week

Now that it's been spoken out loud that y'all love us so much you want to hang out in the afterlife. We can acknowledge our own feelings and let you know You're the One for us too ;)

I'm going to send over You're the One, that should give them a bunch of options to send back.

Do you have any you’d like to read that start with YOU?

I have You Deserve Each Other on my tbr but the wait list is about a month at my library

I have a few around including You can Run


I’ll give others of the team a bit to see who else chimes in

I will say if you can't read this one, I can. It'll be a reread for me but well past the 6 month mark. It's a great book and concept.

A Masque! How delightfully fun. We decided to take a recommendation from Sammy. It seemed like a good plan for improving our odds in battle. How could receiving A Deadly Education not give us a leg up?

Melanie,

I'm going to assume since you mentioned some books you are okay with reading 2 for next week. I'm going to send A Deadly Education over.

I decided I should keep myself open to grabbing one last minute. We are getting to the last couple days to get things sorted for the battle and there's still 7 books to go between both teams.

Well, I tried some other ways of searching and there are some options with ING like In Good Company.

But there still wasn’t much

I found A Death in Venice on KU, which gives ICE.

I also found A Death in Cornwall but the wait at my library is like 20 weeks.

VIL provided some okay options but then the letters back to us were all bad. Like The Villa which, unless we find a random book about Llamas 🦙, is likely going to be difficult.

Anyone have an ADE book, something with a start of A DE might be easier to find and still works of course
