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

How is everyone's reading going?
I'm reading Fourth Uncle in the Mountain: The Remarkable Legacy of a Buddhist Itinerant Doctor in Vietnam and I swear I've read it before.... must have been before I joined Goodreads..... If an elephant shows up, I know I've read it...

The games have begun!!

Ah ha!
Love the detail :)

We have 3 How to Sell a Haunted House listed with three different page numbers :)

It looks like we all have the hardcover one linked. That one's page count is 419. Please either change the page count or the edition you are reading on the tracking sheet. If you are reading a different edition with a different page count, be sure to put that edition on your wheels shelf.

Let me know if you have questions!

Nice.
I'm going to channel this one tomorrow :)

I'll volunteer for team Opera

Labs are awesome :)
Could you create a Wheels shelf and send us the link?
Thanks!

On a music note... do any of you listen to opera?
My dad loved it.
I used to listen to a bit - I remember liking La Traviata.
Maybe I'll get back to listening to it in between books.

So psyched for our awesome team!!

No problem.
I love me a spreadsheet :)

Hello all!
I'm Melissa - co captain with the amazing Ashley!

I am also an old married lady with 2 adult daughters, 2 cats and a dog. I'm a middle school teacher, so I usually finish up books on the weekend. I do a bit of copyediting too :) - just volunteer for now.

I like all sorts of books, and I'll read anything for points!.... When in doubt I gravitate towards nonfiction and sci-fi, and I try to keep up with middle grades books so I'll read those too.

If I was a dog... probably a mutt / cattle dog. I'm always herding folks! and I'm loyal. I have a cattle dog mutt who is 💖. But I'd be a lazy one... if there are any.

Sweet!! I wheely love wheels of all kinds :)

Yes! Thanks mods! This was a rather exceptional challenge!
I do agree, 10th place should definitely get a trophy, or maybe 10, or maybe a collection of books with ten in the title, oh wait, we've already read them.
Thanks again. This must have been a lot of work.

I also really enjoyed working with our group. I love how mellow we all are, and how much we all read! It was really fun to work with you all.
See you in the next challenge!

Hmmm...
Try again. It looks like anyone with the link can edit.

Yes!
