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

Thanks Nanci! Just did!

Hahah rumpy pumpy! Yeah I never tag things except for challenges or like “hated” and “will read again”. Stuff like that. But I applaud the people that tag things more! Gives us something to work with. :)?

Nanci thanks for letting me know! Oh well! I swear they say tree and forest like a thousand times in that book too. Sigh. Come on people who tag books! Haha.

Zoe,
I looked again..."

Okay all tasks should be updated and I tried to add at least one or two alternative letters for my books too.

Question: I have a book (The Year of the Witching) that I could finish before our deadline but it seems like we probably don't need another one - but if it seems like we could use it let me know and I will focus on finishing it tonight/in the morning. Otherwise, I'll save it for next round!

Oh weird. It must’ve not saved last night. The app is always finicky. Sigh. I just did it now! And thanks! I think it was good for me to reread books that I really like because it means I read much faster and can fit more books in during our rounds. :)

Hey Nanci, I added Mockingjay last night so it should be there. And I did update The Streets Have No Queen before and updated the page count on the spreadsheet. :)

Nanci I meant to do it today and for caught up in an unexpected issue. Sigh. I’ll make sure to get them all done tomorrow! Thanks for the reminder!

Oh weird. Let me check the edition. I did it on audiobook and just grabbed the first one I saw on editions so let me see which one it lists first and I’ll make sure the spreadsheet is updated. And yes! I need to put tasks in for everything still. I’ll do that today. :)

The Streets Have No Queen is there now! Thanks! Also, I hated that book so I think I must’ve done that out of unconscious spite hahah

Hey if anyone is looking to do Pachinko this month for the BotM and does audiobooks (or just wants it!), it’s on sale on Chirp Books right now. :)

I’ve got a few books on the spreadsheet and am about a quarter of the way through my first book!

If someone wants to read for an X or a C (the last two to finish that last one) I will do the other one! I think I can fit one more book in before the deadline. Let me know! If not, I won’t bother since just the one doesn’t complete the word so I might as well do it for next round. :)

Not generic! Those are GOOD books! Well, I don’t know all of them but I’ve read most and the ones that I have, I also would recommend. :)

Nanci! A Tale for the Time Being was on my list too. Soooo good. I’ll have to check out some of your recs!

Love seeing everyone’s recommendations so far actually!

Stephen King is for sure not for everyone. I love most..."

Haha. I thought it had probably been mentioned before...alright, I'll post my recommendations below!






Okay I'll stop. I went a little overboard maybe. hahah. It's a collection of different genre so hopefully something for everyone!

I might have missed this, but do we have an ongoing list of recommendations from our team? I was looking through other team’s posts and was like hmm where is ours?
Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I just finished my first Stephen King book in like 20 years and I have to say, he is just not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the story but it’s like...you know some people you meet and you’re like yeah there is nothing wrong with them and they are completely fine or even good people but you just don’t want to be friends with them? That’s me and Stephen King as an author, I think. Haha.

Thanks Jessi!

One more question - I just read the rules and wasn’t super clear on this - if I started a book before round 3 (but after the whole challenge started) but finish it during round 3, does it still count? I think the answer is yes but wanted to check.

I can’t remember - do middle names of authors count if they use them in their pen names? I was about to start a book by Ibram X. Kendi so i wanted to check if it works

Is...is that spam? On our discussion board?
