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

I'll have one of my books done very shortly. Then I'll start my last one I committed to for this week. If I have time to read one more, I will.

Erin, I'm going to read Oklahoma Christmas Blues today that I put on the SS all by its lonesome and it covers an O, so if you want me to I can put it where your Oklahoma Christmas Blues is and I'll have it done today. So far no one has completed their book for that CROW word though. I know I'll be reading my Beautiful Masterpiece tomorrow and maybe finishing Saturday (on time), depending on an appointment I have tomorrow.

Times in major cities:

San Francisco Saturday 3 November 3pm
Chicago Saturday 3 November 5pm
New Yor..."

This is really helpful to have here. In California, Daylight Savings ends this Saturday night/Sunday morning so we set our clocks back one hour.

I thought I'd already signed up but guess not. I'm in.

Do you mean only one genre bonus or only one bonus period? Because I thought you already submitted two.

Also I'll be gone next week from Monday through Friday and possibly through the following Monday (so Nov. 5-9 or 5-12, depending). So I might need to be asking for someone to post my books for me on the SS.

Okay, I was going to "take one for the team" but I'll save it for next time. :) I removed it for you so you can add your book.

Our 2nd week's word is CANDYCORN so we have a lot more options this time around but we'll need to read more books to cover the word one time. LOL I'm ready though!

In fact, if Jessi can do our bonus genre this week, I'll move my book and read it for week 2 instead.

Double checking: which day/time (zone too) do we have to check-in our reading for week 1?

Jessi, I am perfectly happy giving up my bonus spot if you're already in the middle of reading a book with RAVEN and they're allowing it. Can we use both of the books for the genre bonus or only one? If only one, I don't mind if you take it. I haven't even begun my book yet but was going to so I could help the team.

I already used a bonus for crow in text so I doubt this can be used but just in case...lol

Erin or anyone who does have any books that fit “crow as genre” could you list them? Even if you cannot get a hold of the books, maybe I or someone else can.

Erin, I added my book with a bonus for "crow in text" but I will have another book finished tonight that also has "crow in text" and it's 648 pages instead of 364, if that matters.
