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

Thanks, Elen.

Question: would Uncle Roger work for the letter U?

Thank you, Steven, but I will finish my book tonight or in the morning.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers going out for you and your family.

Are you referring to U characters? Also, I know this ends tomorrow but what time do we have to get our books posted? I have one more book that I need to read by Saturday that MIGHT have a U character but I'm not sure. If it does, I can rush my reading even though it's hubby's day off. I'll also check my books for U's.

My book will either be done tonight or in the morning. I just finished up another book and am now getting to this one since I "started" it earlier and read maybe 20-25 pages and then had to set it aside to finish up other challenges that needed to be done sooner.

Yeah, I didn't know that because I have been traveling extensively and fell off the radar for some things and this buddy read was one. I'm disappointed because I have no idea when I'll ever finish it now and I was enjoying the book a lot.

Probably the best detours for me would be 7-8 but I can find anything if I need to, so I go with the flow.

I guess I'll wait and see then. If we do stay in Costa Rica another week, I can use Too Late for the letter T or C

I am covering letter O.

I also just finished by R.J. Palacio so if the R. (initial) is acceptable, I can use that one for the letter R. I'm adding it to the SS, so if it's not acceptable let me know.

Okay, team, I just added a book to the SS; however, after reading some of the comments I'm a bit confused. The SS has both Costa Rica and Liberia on it. Plus at the top it says to read a book where two characters have different religious views (something to that effect). I am currently reading a book that works for Liberia, but I think that we are only doing Costa Rica? Also, do we have to find a book that has two different people's religious views or was that only if we didn't do the spell-out? My book doesn't have people with religious views, I don't think.

I also saw that only a couple people will add to the SS so I'm sorry if I wasn't supposed to do that and I stepped on anybody's toes.

CAPTAINS: I added characters' names to the following posts: 682, 736, 737, 759, and 760

I don't know if any of them will help, but I do have a V and Z which are sometimes harder to find.

That's good to know! Thank you, Sarah.

Good luck! I can't even remember names most of the time when I finish a book and have to look it up lol. My memory is terrible but..."

Erin, that's why I said I'll add the names I can remember. While I was on vacation I wrote down the names of book characters as I read, but when I thought we didn't need them anymore I stopped. MY memory is so awful that sometimes I literally can't even remember the MC's name, no kidding. I have to look back or at the book jacket or whatever. It's awful!

Okay, Erin, I’ll add the names I remember. Thanks.
