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

Welcome everyone!

If you are a planner, go ahead and put in a few books on our tracker:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

There is a column for status where you can indicate that you are in planning mode, reading mode, or finished. That's where we can chart our books.

Sorry! Don't start your books before the 12th!

And now for introductions!
Please introduce yourself, let us know what you like to read, and add a link to your wheels' shelf.

I am Melissa :) I am a middle school teacher. I read just about anything, but I try to get in one middle grades book in each week. I like to listen to audio when cleaning, and then have a book on Kindle, and then one print book going each week.
I have pets and kids and love to read and play games.
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you, and to play this game together!

Welcome Clean Pet Cage Folks to Wheels-9!

My name is Melissa, and I am one of the captains for this challenge.

We will chart our progress on this planning sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I'm hoping it will help us to see what letters are being read for, and what we still need. Let me know if you would like any adjustments to the spreadsheet! I am open to all ideas.

BOM = Book of the Month. We can get extra points for reading these books and volunteering for questions, and also for answering questions on the thread. We just have to track it all on our spreadsheet

Here is a link to the current BOMs: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

You have one month from the start date to finish reading the book. If you participate in the BOM questions, be sure to track the links to your comments on the tracker.

Here are the November books for the BOM:

November 2nd
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst / TBD

November 16th
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie / TBD

At least we get pets with our chore!

T Kingfisher is one of my new favorites. I'm a total fangirl.

I am sorry to hear this Annalisa. What terrible damage from this storm. I hope you are safe and hope all is restored soon.

This might actually motivate me to do housework"

Love this!
Especially because old books that have lots of pages have extra points...
Should be available on Libby!

Yes, great reading with you all!!
See you in the next challenge :)

I hope it was a good one Melissa!"

Thanks Tammie! It was out in the woods - so no internet! But a good vacation :)

Just back from vacation! I'll catch up.

I just finished mine! I'll be out for the next couple days, but I'll be back on Friday :)

M, what did you think of The Three Body Problem? I think about that book a lot. Will you read the second one in the series? Have you seen any of the television series?

Defense - blue cover"

Got it!
When you get the chance, if you could put it on your bookshelf, that would be great :)

Yes! I hope the healing goes quickly.
I can enter the books :)

I'm in for the electricity book!
I hope I get smarter.

I finished my first MINI bound book...wow...this book.
I don't think I've ever read such a good book where I basically hated the MC all the way through. Interesting..."

That is on my TBR
