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

I think I can manage to find a book on almost all of those goals. Since I've already read for a primary goal, I can wait and choose between what's left after those who haven't read theirs, have decided on a goal:-)

If no one else is guessing, I suggest D1 and H2 as well=) (maybe even C3:P)

I finished De Vakreste, it works for C8, H3/F5. I know the English version of the book is narrated by a female, I don't think the Norwegian version is on audio yet, so not sure if it can count for I2?

B6 and J5 would be my guesses=)

I think that as long as the people reading extra for A10 is also planning to read for another primary goal, it is ok? It's just that the bonuspoint won't be counted untill their primary book is done?

Impressive spreadsheet by the way!=)

Finished my first book too! Almost impossible to put down and I'm sad to see the end of the triology=( Ruin and Rising

I agree with Kate S about the book thread; whatever is easiest for the captains!=)

When it comes to strategy on Monday's guessing: I think we should split the focus, go 50/50 or so: try around the already found hits for more, but also scatter a few guesses around.

Very useful list! =)

I have weddings to attend the next two weekends (not this one), so quite unsure how many books I'll manage on this round, hard to say...

I'll start my book for the A10 task as soon as possible today after work and then I'll just see where I'm needed afterwards=) It's the last book in the Grisha triology so I think it will be a fast read!;)

Really? That's good to know. I've heard really mixed things about it and got it as a birthday present from a friend in April so it hasn't been at ..."

I'm considering starting The Invasion of the Tearling sometime during this challenge=)

I really liked that book, enjoy!=)

We need two books for each task right? Read by two different people?

I can do:
A10 - read a book shelved as science fiction by at least 10 people Ruin and Rising
J-1 - read a book with a title with 6 or less letters "Rose"
G-4 - read one-word title book (several options)
F-5/H-3 - read a book shelved as mystery by at least 10 people Savner deg

Welcome Claire=)

I think at least one diagonal at first is smart, and then if we have any hits, try to decide the next rounds of guesses around those=)

Stupid as I am, I couldn't help but start the Grisha series two days ago:P I will try to finish at least the second book before Friday=)

Very true :) I think I'm just looking for an escape from real life. I want fairytales, mag..."

Me too!=P

I'm pretty much copying what some of you already said: Lately I've read a lot of paranormal, romance, fantasy and historical fiction. I do pick up a thriller/mystery every now and then, but avoid non fiction, poetry and such unless it really catches my interest=)

I'm currently in the middle of both the Game of Thrones and Outlander series, but these are big books, so they take a time to read through for me.

Glad I could help;) I must confess, I'm still a bit addicted to fairytale retellings, so watch out!=)

Hi everyone=) Nice to see a few familiar faces. I'm excited to get this challenge started!

I'm Silje, from Norway, in my mid-twenties and working as a dentist. No animals in my house yet, but we have to cats back home at my dad's house and a bird at my mom's.=)

I will do as much reading as I can, but I have two weddings to go to (I'm maid of honour in one of them), the second and third weekend into this challenge. Other than that I also have a vacation trip to Italy planned mid-July=) But I love to read when travelling so I won't be completely off the radar;)
