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

I started a book for the other Author/Set in China task. I don't think anyone else had it claimed but let me know if I'm wrong (I got a little lost in all the is it/isn't it china discussion)

Thanks Vi!

I don't want to step on any toes, but I just finished The Assassin's Blade, which is the same book Vi is reading for Chipmunk Task 1 (Top 10 books of 2014); if we want to swap out so we get another task quicker.

If not, do we think the color is blue and/or green enough?

Sounds good to me. Thanks Nanci!

Which of the blues do we think this one works for? Is it not blue enough? (I'm so bad at colors)

Okay I know this is a color, but what color do we think it is lol

They look good to me.

Did you like the Last Sun? I keep seeing that come up, but..."

It was my fourth time reading it lol. I love it! The romance is a little light imo but the main friendship is phenomenal and I could just read the two best friends doing stuff forever. I also find the world building to be very well done and interesting

I put a couple books I read today on the SS, can someone make sure I didn't mess everything up lol

Wait there’s no subtraction for over reading this year? That made me so nervous last year lol

Hello team!

I'm Amanda (she/her) from Michigan (EST) and this is my second-ish TT. I was called in as an alternate about 1/2-3/4 of the way through the last TT so I kinda get it but also was just working hard to fill in where needed so may still need some direction! I'm a lawyer but not the kind that goes to court so I'm still WFH 2 days a week (Mon/Tues) so then and weekends are when I'll do most of my posting. Right now it's just me, my husband, and our two pups but I'm currently pregnant with our first and due in August so it's an exciting time! (Although my friends on this team will back me up in saying there has been a lot of complaining and I am not having a fun time LOL). Looking forward to playing with you all!

My TT Shelf

What about this one!?"

I'd say that one is teal but I'm terrible at colors lol

I think it’s more blue 😞 asked my husband too hoping he’d give a different answer and he did not

Ashley wrote: "@Amanda: Whenever you get a sec, add Jake Plus Conner to your wheels shelf! Thank you!"

I thought I had finally got good at it lol. Done!

hahaha I am probably not going to do any zombie books though, just not my cup of tea and the ones I've found that I do like are all like 5-8 tags

Listopia delivers: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2......"

I read a super long book so am behind on this weeks stuff but when I get a little caught up I'll ask in the MM FB Rec group as they deliver often! THe problem is that even ones with zombies a lot of times don't get the tags they need.

Books that have laboratory in it:
The Prince's Poisoned Vow
Geoffrey the Very Strange
Submitted
Hexmaker
Chasing the Chupacabra
Cold Moon
Grave Danger
In the Wreckage
Love for the Cold-Blooded, or The Part-Time Evil Minion's Guide to Accidentally Dating a Superhero
Hexhunter
Trial by Fire
Malum Discordiae

If none of those look good I can continue searching!

Did you just need the word "genetics"?

I know Lane Hayes The Script Club series has a lot of scientist MCs. I can do a full search when I’m done with my coffee! Janine did the lab part for our team so she might have something.

Thanks! I thought I could get in one more to finish the word but my husband decided to call in the middle of my book. I at least got that one done but no more.

I'm just kinda glad there's an I again as I downloaded quite a few I books I still need to get to
