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

I don't have a Lightning book. I read the Lightning Thief like you for the last one, lol
I wondered the cross thing myself, but wasn't willing to start something now that might not work. Maybe a captain will chime in?

Ok, I stuck it on there as a placeholder. I was looking for a cross cover book, but I haven't found one and the only other monster with 1 task left is a 500-650 page book, which I know I won't finish by the deadline, since I have to work tomorrow. Hmm... I'll keep looking for something that will work.

What is the lightning book you got? Have you finished that?

I think we have until 4:30EST tomorrow to finish for the mini :)

Here is what I see left unclaimed on the spreadsheet:

Typhon:
Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive)
Read a book with lightning on the cover

Griffin:
Read a book with a cross on the cover

Chimera:
Read a book that takes place in Asia Minor (Italy, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Israel and Lebanon)
Read a book with MPG War

Sphinx:
Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle.
Read a book with a mountain on cover.
Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%).

Oh, no! Use your book! Do you want me to fill in your missing books? If you let me know what goes where I can add it so we don't over read.

Has anyone done the Cross on the Cover yet?

Oh, I finished. I was just talking about the extra Monster Mini books. I might be able to get one more in for the Mini, but I'll check to see what's needed first. :)

If I get a chance to read anything else before the 15th, I will. It's been slow reading for me lately. Too much life going on. Sorry I haven't been as helpful lately.

Finished GOT... Lernaean Hydra done!

I am really trying to have GOT finished today, since I need to start my Battleship book. I should be able to unless some weird life event gets in the way.

Is anyone up to this book for Bridgerton, since it meets 1-4 of the dang birds? I'm still one book out, so I'm unhelpful:

When He Was Wicked (Julia Quinn)

I also saw Walk the Vanished Earth meets 1, 3-5!
&
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince does 2-5 (note, metal cover task depends on edition)

This dude... I'm telling you. Stalker.

I just noticed when I went to add Lake Silence to my shelves, that I had the wrong edition. It should have been the 433 pages, Mass Market Paperback one. I will correct it on the sheet and my shelves, but since it's been added to the main scoresheet, can a captain edit that book page number for me?

and I'm still reading GOT, which will work for Hydra 1-4. I will try to get it finished today or tomorrow. Weekends are always busy for me, so I get less reading done. feel free to use other books if we need to.

thanks Bernadette! it was late last night when I finished and I was in bed on my phone. I noted the bare minimum and figured I'd update everything in the morning on my computer. I'll fix it soon!

Birds are destroyed!

I'd like to volunteer!

Question: Does the book have to be started after Round 2 begins, or just after the Challenge began?

No worries! I'm sure it'll be useful!
