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

Every time I post more than one thing, I get a BIG pink box with a bunch of letters and I have to cut and paste my post. Does anyone know why or if I am doing anything to cause that?

I don't know where the Q/A section is so I added something to one of my books that I don't know if it would count.

Geese instead of goose
Turtle instead of tortoise

I would've posted the question but can't seem to find where to add it, so I assume I'm just missing it or those questions are for the captains.

That’s odd to me that cell users could use it. I tried on my phone once but didn’t quite know how to get it. If I had Trinia to actually show me, I’d get it (I think). Lol

Devann, Lol that’s probably true! I kept trying, restarted my computer, cussed (and I honestly RARELY do), but I couldn’t stop trying it, thinking it was MY computer even though I kept getting a message saying it was their website. Lol

Yay!!! Thanks, Plethora!

I wonder why TinEye is down. It’s frustrating!

Btw do I just add one animal or as many as I can find in a book?

The clock indicates the start of round 4, so we have up to that start time to post our books for this round, right? If I remember correctly, we have until the 28th for our animal books. Is that right?

I’m sorry! I have several books to add and will definitely have my 7 read for the week. I’ll be posting between tonight and tomorrow but I need TinEye to work. I haven’t tried it yet today. I’ll have more than my 7 if needed.

Lol Mary, isn’t life so full of those “fun” moments?

I finished and but TinEye isn't working, so I'm not sure if the first book is a cover/green book or not. If anyone can check that would be great.

Will do!

Okay, I see what you’re saying, Mary. :)

Okay, thanks, Devann.

I’m sorry, I stated one book incorrectly. The Odyssey is only 582 pages but I have another book that is over 1200 pages! I think the large books count for more points than books with tricky words, especially when I’m only finding easy ones.

Hey guys, sorry if I’ve seemed MIA! I should have four books posted by tonight or tomorrow. I finished The Court of Wings and Ruin (699 pages) yesterday. I’m finishing up Girls Like Us, The Whisper Man, and I started What You Did. In the midst of all these I’m reading The Odyssey, over 1000 pages, so I’ll finish it sometime before this round ends. I’m not sure which sins to use them for! I’m still not having luck with tricky animals and regular ones don’t seem worth it. But maybe I’m wrong.

Great find, Plethora! I’ll see if my library has it.

Glad to know, Trinia. As you know, I was gone all weekend and my daughter drove her new Lexis. It was about a 6 hour trip so I planned to read and started it on Friday and got 5 chapters read. But my daughter was blaring her stereo all the way and I couldn’t concentrate and the rest of the weekend I spent time with family, so after hubby goes to work today I’ll start again. I will say it started off creepy. I think I left off where Jake was starting to hear whispers. CREEPY!!

Plethora, I realize that about the list. I want really complaining as much as saying that’s just my kind of luck. I’m not upset about it. I’m trying to find books that have tricky animals. While Mary has found a lot of tricky, I haven’t but I want my team to know that I’m definitely trying!
