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

I'm going to give The Portrait of a Lady a try. It's 797 pages - couldn't they have just written 3 more pages to get to 800? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm not sure if I did?
Yes! You can start a book and finish it on Monday and use it for next round.

Sweet.
I'll read for the T - it's much shorter than the U.

I can read the U for next time if we need it - I have 2 U books out from the library now, and I think M is finishing one too!

Thanks Christine!

I can’t do a T and u though, I’m at my max

If you would like to see a version of our spreadsheet where you can see all of our books you can always check out the official sheet!

This is also in message one: Team Spreadsheet.

I can sneak in a U book and save okra for the beginning of next round.

I have an okra book but it only works for T. Maybe we can do some shuffling? I can expand some of the T’s and see if they work for others?

@Brittany - I bet GR dropped a tag again. Could you put Mistletoe Mystery and The Bronze Key on your shelf?

@Shannon, could you put Son of a Witch on your shelf?

Thank you, Insiyah, for getting our tracking sheet up for round 4!
Go ahead and put books in there when you find some.

Anyone up for a book with Jamaica tags?

That must be so frustrating with the dropping tags!

Our Round 4 planner should be up and running sometime tomorrow.

Yay... another U....
Just went to the library and found a U biography..

I found out we're leaving for our long weekend with my granddaughter a day early, Wednesday. So I only can read one more book after I finish this one. U seems to be the worst letter..."

Thanks Kelly!

Amazing!
That is a chonker.

Yes, I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I just took all of the u authors off the shelf at my school library... I'll peruse!

Excellent.
I'm really hoping to read my max too, but I'm being very slow about it!

Perfect. Thanks!

lol!
Reading a book in French would be an extra lift for sure!!

We need one more color!
I'd use the yellow one - the other one is more blue to me.

M - I found in The Winter Knight "Rice building with its dress of scaffolding insensate to the ...." but it doesn't have a page number. By any chance did you read this on a Kindle? If so, could you find the page number, and I'll stick it in the rice column - as it doesn't have to mean rice, like in the food.

I totally agree!
I'll keep rooting around...
