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

Gah, I hadn't seen that new word! A lot of difficult letters there, we all might have to plan a little in order to find all=) but the tags weren't too bad: green, tree, forest, Ireland, and hiking.

Vicki, do you have a task that fit Insatiable? I'm not sure if you hadn't picked one or if I managed to lose the one you had chosen during all my copy-pasting=P

Yes, it is a good book to read these days.
Thanks for letting us know, I think you've done great this round=)

Great Sophie. The link to the count down is in one of my posts higher up on this page, but the round ends the 24th, 10 pm UK time.

The Wolf of Oren-Yaro won't work, it has to be the first letter in the first word (or here, the second).

We're over halfway in round 3 and you guys are doing an amazing job!

I noticed that we have placed books on 8 words, but we only have Y-books for 4 (Rajiv and I are reading 2 and 2 are done already). Does anyone plan on reading Y-books? Or can any of your read books be used for a Y instead?

If you need Y-inspiration, the Hitchhiker's team has read 27 Y-books, so go check out their spreadsheet;)

Yes, the deadline is 10 pm UK time, July 24th, a link to the timer is here. As before, we set our own deadline an hour before this, 9 pm, so that we have time for move books around if necessary.

Yes. Oops spelled it wrong should be..."

aha! That explains it;)

Maritza, for Below the Belt you've written C: Author for reason on letter A. Does that mean there is a character named Author? (Just checking=))

Sorry, yes. I will go do that!"

Thanks=)

Sarah, can you choose a new task for your book, Sunshine on Silver Lake? You have already used task 194, dog on cover, in round 2.

Sophie, how was Children of Time? Did you like it? I've been wondering if I should read it, that's why I'm asking=)

Vicki wrote: "No worries, that's why I asked. If not, I'll find another task it fits. I hope. LOL"

So far it looks like they are leaning towards "no" on catty. Did you have an alternative task?

I have no idea what it is either=P you can add the new task, as long as the text in the captain colomn stays the same, we understand that it has been fixed.

A tip for the tags: It looks like four of the five books in the Percy Jackson-series is tagged as underwater (some of them are also tagged ocean=P), as well as Red Queen, Divergent, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,Empire of Storms, and Teardrop. Just in case anyone wanted a re-read or had planned to read some of these books during the challenge=P

For Turtle and Whale, there are less than 200 books on the list, so those are easy to go through and check for possible books.

Vicki, you've chosen task 32, "Read a book with "morris dancing" (variants like dance/dancers OK) in the text" for your book Accidentally Demonic, but you're reasoning only says it is dancers in the book. In order to use task 32, it has to say "morris dancing/dance/dancers" in the actual text. If that is the case, can you add the page or % in the reasoning? If this isn't in the text, do you have another task you can use instead?

@Logan, yes that is correct=)

@Vickie, sorry, but the tags need to be accurate, only singular/plural versions are accepted (mermaid/mermaids, etc.)

Home safe and sound after 7 1/..."

That's a long drive!
The book looks fine now=)

That's a good idea!

No, you can take a look when you have the time, don't worry=)
