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

Ok Team!

I have sent 1 of our "The Malevolent Seven's" to District 9!

Also, I like the idea of sending one our "The Hunger Games" over as well, any thoughts on that?

Ok, the mini has started and we need to finalize what piles we would like to protect!

I'm leaning towards Food and Weapons, what thoughts have you?

great
any objections to doing this supply drop?
are there..."

Sounds good!

Hello, District 9!

Just checking in with you from District 6 to see if you've decided on any preferences, AND to formally request that if you so decide to send us any supply drops, we would love books that we could use for protecting our supply piles!

We await your decision!

I will check in with D9!

You'll just have to find ANOTHER orange cover book!! 😁😁

I think this is the only one that looks orange, but again, I think orange and brown tones are the hardest to decide. Maybe we can get a group consensus!

under the search bar there is a bullet item list

Search for a book to add a reference
add: link cover

click cover.
alternatively, you can manually change the text, so when it says

[ book : Room|31685789]

you can change it to:

[ bookcover : Room|31685789]

is this orange enough?

So, I went to tineye, because I don't trust screens with certain colors, it says it's just over 50% orange, so I think we can use it.

I feel attacked!!!

I can't believe I'm waking up to this type of treatment! on my birthday no less! One reading mistake!

hahahaha

Definitely think this should be worth double points...

Indeed - I do love a big book.

usually it's a few days before the read starts. If you turn on notifications in the thread, you should be able to tell when they post the question writers~

BOMs are always one month from the start of the BOM.

(Unless the challenge ends before that month is up.)"

looking at the group home pag..."

Andy, you don't need to worry about that. Use what is on our Sheet:

Title .......... DQ Start Date	Answer By Date
The M... Seven	16-May	.......... 16-Jun
Salt & Broom	25-May	.......... 25-Jun
Starling House	2-Jun	.......... 2-Jul
The Wish.. Game	16-Jun	.......... 16-Jul

I hate when we are a couple days out from a Mini and I want to save books to finish after, but that means I probably just shouldn't start books because I'll want to finish them right away... UGH! Book problems!

Sometimes you can use google books to search and find the page number, same with amazon (if you preview) the book in it's paperback form.

The book you added for CORNUPIA doesn't have a U in the title/subtitle!"

Nooooo!!
😭"

I looked like 4 times! 😭 And I found the U -- because I'm DUMB! That also has a U....

I agree, we should use our supply drop books for protection. Since we can choose what we want to do with whatever books are supplied, I think it's not necessary to "request" this, we can just find a way to use them for that!

@Andy!
The book you added for CORNUPIA doesn't have a U in the title/subtitle!

Nous - you can use the Reference Tab, I made a column for Mini Suggestions
