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

I for sure also had a stuffed Cookie Monster when I was in like middle school just because I loved Cookie Monster so much. Heheh

Wisteria Society can help here!

I just wish it was a little longer 😩

My banked book Duplex will work for MC has a sister!

Dang. Three hours won’t be enough for me I don’t think. But good luck to everyone finishing up!!

Also, I am reading a nonfiction book currently because I was thinking this monster thing was over last night, but if it's over by end of day today (i'm in mexico on central time) - I can totally fit a short book in. Let me know!

Okay I have some of my banked books to the rescue here hopefully!

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels: Characters go on a journey across UK in a floating house; Women in the book use magic and use it to harm others (I think this qualifies as a sorceress).

The Psychology of Time Travel: surprise twist for sure (time traveling characters ends up with the daughter of her friend from the beginning of the story); sacrifice (MCs sacrifice the well being of their friend in ordert to advance their cause); I also would argue that the woman who created a "toy" using time travel tech in order to play russian roulette with other people is a form of a sorceress because what she is doing is magic to us and kind of to the people in the world of the book too and what she is doing is terrible.

Duplex: Has a person on the cover - technically a carnivore

Flash Fire: Has the word FIRE in title, has a character that is a woman that performs magic for evil which totally makes her a sorceress (her super hero name is Ice); surprise twist: MC has powers and we never knew; has a human on the cover - totally a carnivore. Oh oh and I think sacrifice could work for this too: MCs dad sacrifices himself for his son during the big end battle.

T263 can be covered by my Geekerella. I wrote it in the spreadsheet. Her stepsister destroys her costume!

Oh I can do Book Lovers in August. Just remind me! I have had it in my audible forever and haven’t gotten to it so I’d be happy to plan it for then!

I’ve got vinegar!!
Lost and Found

“ Ezekiel always made one burger with bright yellow mustard, thick ketchup, raw onion, a single slice of dill pickle, and a dash of vinegar.”

I’ll add to spreadsheet too

The book I’m reading right now, someone goes swimming, but I’m gonna go through my banked books and see if anything fits from there too with these new tasks!

We can use one of my books for T29!
The Death of Vivek Oji (this is a minor spoiler for anyone that wants to read this one. I tried to phrase it so it doesn’t really give anything away. :) )

MC ignores advice of friends to not go out dressed as themselves.

Okay thanks Sammy!

Question - can books used for Battleship still be used for Monsters? I'm assuming no, but wanted to ask just in case!

Thanks! I have it open on my phone as well in a browser but it’s been acting up recently and when I click links within the Goodreads website it takes me to the app. So it’s been a pain.
Either way, I’ll have the book done tomorrow.

Sorry I’m on my phone and that link takes me to the first page and when I try to load more comments it always crashes the app. Lol. So I can’t go through the link.

Not sure if you want me to read for this since you deleted them from here too? Sorry I really don’t get how this challenge works but I’m happy to read for it. In fact I’ll be done with the book tomorrow.

Okay so from what I can tell here is what I have already read and where they can fit into some of the holes we have maybe? I was unsure what the difference was between blank areas on the spreadsheet that are white versus colored in.

How to Life Safely in a Science Fictional Universe: One of the MCs is a father
Geekerella: works for - One of the MCs is a mother (the stepmother), a character uses a sword.

Also, both the books I am reading now have a 3 in their publication date but also work for quite a few other items so far. I have added everything I could think of so far to the spreadsheet.

Sorry, no rocks or snow right now! I've been looking!

Also I highly recommend The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels. I’m listening to it now and it’s super fun. :)

I’m happy to start a 800+ page book if we need another one but it will for sure take me over a week. But let me know if it’s needed!

Okay the book Bunny definitely has a sacrifice. They sacrifice….bunnies. Lol. Also the women in it are women who do magic and the magic is definitely not good so you could call them sorceresses I would say!

lol to be honest I never fully figured out the last multi team one 🤣 haha. This one I kinda understand because I understand the game Battleship but we’ll see. I would love if there was someone who really gets it who can help delegate tasks as needed? Usually that happens but just throwing that out there!
