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

I'll be around the next hour if anyone has any last-minute books.

The colour bonus is also a little different; they didn't call this round the Extreme round for nothing=P

Our colour is BROWN, but we have to find it five different ways and we can only do each task once:
- Cover colour (>50%)
- Text on the cover in that colour
- Item that colour on the cover
- Colour word in the text
- Colour word in the title

I did figure out how to do that once, but I can't remember right now.
If you look at a book's homepage, you'll usually get your friends' reviews first when scrolling down. If none of us are on that list, it's most likely not one of us who tagged the book. If you're not friends with everyone on the team, though, it might not work either.

I doubt I have much that fit the tags or color. But the series I read have a character called Zee, so I can cover a few of the Zs.

Actually, they've changed it to a minimum of 5 tags as long as none of those are from a team mate=)

White text on the cover

I enjoyed listening to Mythos; Stephen Fry is a great narrator!

I often read books tagged Mythology, but I'm not sure if any of my planned reads would qualify.

Joyce, can you add Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By to your shelf?=)

Vicki, can you check Puddle Jumping? I can't find it on your shelf, or a recent read date=)

50% or more

Task*

That tasl was a lot easier when it comes to cover=P

If anyone is interested, I added the NBRC Back Room BOM with the rest of the BOMs. This BOM is usually erotica of questionable quality and is often chosen because of a funny title, plot, or cover. The discussion is guaranteed to be hilarious=)

I've started re-reading, again, one of my favorite series. Do any of you have a favorite book or series that you keep going back to just for comfort reading? =)

Anybody who already now knows they won't be able to read their amount of books this round? It is good to know in case someone else wants to read extra=)

Just a reminder that books must have a minumum of 160 pages to count=)

Know the feeling, Vicki! It is all just for fun and bragging rights, but I still get a little bit competitive=P

I'll try finding longer books to listen to, but I'm kind of hooked on the "In Death"-series right now, and most of those books are somewhere around 350 pages. For some reason, I lack the motivation to read printed books these days =( I really should start picking them back up; it'll be easier to recommend books for Christmas gifts if I've actually read some of them...

Does anyone have a last-minute book to add to round 1 or are we done? Round 2 starts immediately after round 1 is done, so just keep reading=)

Sorry, yes I ..."

Did you get an answer to this, Vicki? You can add which book you read and the BOM links on the spreadsheet after the letters for series and wheel bonus boxes.
