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

I have two books on the Chipmunks sheet. One just has a few pages left. The other just a few chapters. I think I can finish both by tomorrow night.

We don't NEED anymore books for May. It could be helpful to wait and give us a little head start into June, but I think it's more of a half of one..."

Ok. I'll be done for May and should finish some up tomorrow. Thanks for keeping us on track and organized!

I'm almost done with several books. I'm working today, but could probably finish one more pretty easily when I'm off. Is that helpful? Or is it better to wait until June? They aren't long books.

Just did a big check in preparation for the month end check-in and there were a few rogue books that weren't on challenge shelves or the spreadsheet. Some of these may be books that you..."

Zero Days is sadly not eligible. I started it before the challenge, abandoned it, and then finally finished it.

YES! I always forget and click the book cover.

I am surrendering. We keep losing our WiFi today, so I'm updating here from my phone.

I finished Death by Chocolate Marshmallow Pie.

If no one has time to add it, I'm sure we'll be back up and running soon, but I was trying to update since we're in the final days of the month and the universe is not cooperating.

I know that this author is known for his foreshadowing, but it was starting to bother me a little in this one--especially in the middle. By the time I finished, I didn't mind. The plot kind of swept me away and I didn't notice anymore. Great ending to this series. I'm hoping there will be a tie-in book at some point in the future.

Good luck! 🍀

One more question... I was a little confused by the audiobook discussion earlier this month. I don't care how many points it's worth, just tell me what to put down. 😂

I just listened to it, but the hardcover is 288 and the Kindle edition is 295. But if it's just 100 since it's audio, that's fine. I'm just not sure how it works.

Here's the book:
Death by Chocolate Marshmallow Pie

Love it. Thanks!

I see bright pink and dark pink on the rainbow. Is this either of those? It seems pastel.

Ohhh I don't think I realized we could make a zillion rainbows. That's good to know!

I was planning to read Literally Dead this month. It's set in a university. I could start it this weekend and finish June 1st for the chipmunk tower, right?

Just confirming...we should keep reporting books we finish this week? Even if they don't really fill a needed task?

I just added a book I hadn't planned on reading. It's very short and came highly recommended to me by a friend. The basic summary is this: We spend a lot of time feeling guilty about things that are morally neutral (like not getting the laundry done, etc.) I'm not a big self-help reader, but I enjoyed this one. It was a great reminder to give myself a break on the small stuff.

Perfect! I just got the ARC and I have June 1st off that week. 😊

Mini question: Would this book have ten characters or 11? It looks like maybe they are counting the space between the words as a character, is that right?

Black Sheep

Been moving the college kids back home--I need to catch up! I'll check out the new mini

I added a 400 page book last night that works for E.

Hi Stephie and Teddie! 😊
