Tina ❣’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I managed to find >50% yellow cover and dead in author's name. Have not been successful with yellow item and poison in author's name


I'll be done with my O book later

I think Option 2 is easier finding letters for a spell it out than reading previous BOM or searching other team's books. But no prob..."

No worries! :P

I was having a look at my books last night for Read a book with a yellow cover (>50%) where the author contains the letters D-E-A-D (doesn't need to be in that order) and Read a book with a yellow item (something that can be touched) on the cover and that contains the letters P-O-I-S-O-N in the author's name (doesn't need to be in that order)... I am struggling. I couldn't find any that worked! I'll look in one more app that will hopefully be a win. So, yes to you doing both Lisa! and thank you! They're getting so hard to find

Yup, so SZ1 we spell poison. 6x30=180 + 60 = 240

YAAAAYYYY!!

I did some investigative work and we now have 11 books for regeneration which is 120 points

And with round 3, I worked out that these two combos get us the same points. SZ1 and 3 gets us 420...

* Option 1
SZ 1 and 2 gets us 440 points

* Option 2
SZ2 and 3 gets us 440 points as well if for SZ3 we do a combination of:
1. 'in' and 'on' to get 6 books (240 points)
2. word/born/with + in/on (240 points)

I don't have a preference for which one we do

Thanks Emma! (:

Thanks for letting us know Sammy! Hope you have a good weekend!

I'll have a look at the tasks now

Your two books from group 3 - Undeniable and Wedding night. I couldn't find them when I had a look at your bookself

Oh that's good!!

I'll keep working on it this weekend

@ Emma, can you link your books here so I can try and map out the ladder? I haven't chosen my last book and want to figure out if I should try and find an O book with 500 pages or something else

So, I've been trying to re-order our ladder and want to ask if we can use any book in any order? Or is it countdown books and then the safe zones?
The chipmunks say this in the regeneration rules:
☣Books used in the ladder do NOT need to be different books to what you are using in your countdown or safezone tasks. ☣Note that the timing constraints will still apply (you can't use a book in the Safe Zones before the Countdown has finished etc).
☣You do not have to read ladder books in order.

It's simple language, but I can't make sense of it haha

Thanks Sammy. I hope so too.

finished A Dissection of Murder yay!

Hey guys, yeah this week for me has been poopy. I’m like ready to leave one of my jobs

I’m nearly done with the book though. I’ll have it finished by tonight after work and I’ll let you guys know when it’s done

I read that book years ago and loved it! I didn’t realise that it was about a boy on the spectrum though. I think I’ll have to read it again going by what you’ve said, Sammy

I find that when a lot of people rave about a book, I hold of because I'm wary of the opinions of others. But I think I'll give that book a go. I haven't come across many Austism Spectrum books and feel like I should
I read The Rosie Project and liked it

Is it worth reading Lisa? I have it as a To Read but something keeps holding me back from reading it

I added my two books from this week into the SS. Sammy, one your books ends with a zero.
Do we know what happens when that is the case? Is it like a wild card or a dud?

I finished one book (audio) and can finally start reading the 2nd book since I finished my assignment.... late but I still finished it.

I wish I was like that. I seem to always be reading a few books at a time and sometimes don’t finish one so it gets put on my ‘taking my time to read’ shelf.
I need a month to finish them but there’s always a team challenge on so I prioritise that
