Vicki’s Comments (group member since May 01, 2018)

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

Karen, thank you. :)

I read one book and used the audio version, but I can't find it on GR. Should I like it to the Amazon page so I am linked to the version used? Or how do I do it so we don't lose points?

Thanks, Judith.

I know (I think) I've read this in the rules or somewhere but can't find it now, so I'm sorry to ask if it's been posted: May we re-read a book and if so how long must it be since we last read it?

Okay, thanks! I just wanted to be sure since this challenge deducts points when you screw up. LOL

Okay, this was posted: "Safezone Group 1 : Complete in round 2 and receive 50 bonus points!" We already finished Safezone 1, so does that mean we can't get the 50 bonus points since it was finished in round 1?

Also, I know there is a countdown clock which says we have a little over 3 days before round 2 starts. Does that mean we have until then to finish round 1? I can't seem to find a countdown clock for when round 1 SS has to be finished. We're working on the spell-out words now and don't want to be caught short!

Thank you so much! That is the clarity I (we) needed. The way it was worded, we somehow thought we only needed to read 2 of the letters from LAVA. I appreciate your clearer explanation.

I need clarification so I don't screw up! LOL

According to the rules, when we read for the Safe Zones
"You can complete all three of these safe zone groups if you wish, but you can't complete them concurrently. If you decide to start, but you don't complete a safe zone group, you will get burnt feet (but you will have the chance to regenerate later). This means you can start books for the safe zone groups at the same time, but you have to finish a group at a time.

If I understand correctly, for the Safe Zone 1 we are a Crater group, so the ONLY thing we MUST do is read 2 books for the letters LAVA. We do not have to read 4, but we may?

I finished 1 book today for Safe Zone 1, so it is OK to begin a book for Safe Zone 2 but we cannot finish all of the books for Safe Zone 2 until we finish Safe Zone 1, even if we decide to do 4 books (or if we only do 2)?

Will do, MODs. :)

Oh, okay, then thank you, Karen! :)

It's working now. I think maybe Trisha somehow fixed it. Thanks.

Can anyone access our SS because I can’t, yet I can access other teams’ SS. Most teams are planning but I (we) can’t because we don’t have the SS yet.

I am on We Lava to Read team but I can’t access our spreadsheet. I have requested it but I still can’t access it; however, I went onto three other teams threads and I was able to click on their SS. So I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with my request that I didn’t get access or what’s going on.

I requested it too.

Hey girls, this one should be fun! I love our team so...thank you, Jenny!

So let's kill this one!

I'm going to continue this one now. I will read it slowly but surely. I ended up on page 120/21% according to my CURRENTLY READING shelf, so I'll start with that.

Jenny, Trisha, do you want to continue at a snail's pace or no?

Your first book by Amy? Wow! Try or

I understand what you mean about the chemistry. I was okay with that though.

Okay, that's cool, Laura. I thought I was all alone. lol

Finished

I'm sorry I haven't gotten my comments on here earlier but I had to do my reading for various challenges and comments when I had time. But I don't think it matters because I don't think anyone is reading my comments anyway...is anyone?

I love how Annie was loved her grandpa so much and got the opportunity to really learn about him and her family. There was so much he hadn't told her and I loved watching it unfold. Such an opportunity to learn about all that she did in the way she did.

I loved this one just like all of Am's books. :)

Normally I don't care too much for time travel because it sometimes confuses me. I was listening to the audio version of this one for a while but I was again a little confused with Anne and Anne.

Thomas (view spoiler)[recognized Annie as not being the same Anne (hide spoiler)] which I really like because it shows how he pays attention to detail. Like when he said (view spoiler)[she didn't have that gap between her teeth, and as any man would he noticed how she looked at him and "Declan's Anne would never look at him like that." (hide spoiler)] I was glad when he said all that so that I knew he knew.
