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

I'm listening to , and I just got it out of the library to see what it looks like. What a great audio, and I love the multimedia part of the book (among other things!). Paula, I see you have the book in your profile pic!

I did get a camel book out - a good excuse to read an Elizabeth Peters.

I just started . I really like it so far! I'm reading also (I feel claustrophobic when I read only one book at a time) which also has a baby in the initial story problem, so I'm mixing them up a bit... Hope to finish both by sometime around Saturday.

Okay, so An Eagle Named Freedom popped up on Libby. Looks a little cheesy, but I’m all in on animal stories. I’ll listen to that today while I clean.

Oooh The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie has a stamp on the cover...

I would think they would count?
Found a camel book - Elizabeth Peters. I like her books. Also a Three Witches book - the new one by the person who wrote 10,000 doors of January.

This feels really weird to not be reading a book.....counting down the hours.....3 more..... I better watch a mindless movie.....

I'm looking through the bingo to plan :) I see the hedgehog. Which one is the rat? And any idea about crivens? ook? I don't have ideas about those :)

The Golem and The Jinni totally works for G3 (a golem is one of the main characters - good book! I liked it!)

But that's okay, because it hasn't come in the mail yet!
I will be reading it and doing 3 days of DQs though.

Sounds good. I'm starting with which will do the bee category on the BINGO.
I am also starting (which will hopefully come soon!) for the BOM and then also

Do you have a list of the tasks? That might help us prepare a little bit."

They are in our Team Sheet at the top of the page. There are a ton of them!!!!!
