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

Yep, she added 50+ books to be read. That’s what I was referring to :)

No no well clear out all her books. You are free to read whatever you want! I do need a number you can commit to. I have to report back to the mods.

Team, looks like Robin has dropped out of the challenge. So, we need to fill a void of 60 BPM. I know some of us would like to increase our commitment. Can you please drop a comment with any updates you’d like to make to your monthly book count please? It’ll go into effect from the current month.

Aiswrya - current: 8, new: 20

Oh my, 2 Us and an X

Alright, let’s talk about the book cap:

Everyone gets an automatic +5 on top of their signed up number. You’re okay to read till you hit that number. Anything above that number will go into reserve, to make up for another player’s void ( I’d assume to their original sign up number, not the +5) however, we don’t get to automatically assign reserves, we need to run it by the mods to determine how many books (and maybe even which books) we can use from our reserve. This will happen at the end of the current month. Hope all that makes sense!

I’ll read with attention tomorrow and get back to you! My husband and I are celebrating lol my team won the IPL finals after 18 long years 💃

Has anyone read Wizard's First Rule? I'm really struggling with it. 16 chapters in, I'm still not hooked to the story. It's hell'a slow.

I believe I have 2 more books to go."

For now, would it be okay if we left these tasks with you? They are harder to fill, and I don't want it sitting there.

We’ll keep the team posted on what to do. For now, let’s all add it to our shelves, but keep it off the SS.

We’re working with the mods to figure out a solution :)

We always use the edition we read wherever possible.

If you’re not reading the ebook, then we can’t use it. I’d say if you both read and listen, we can use either cover.

Oh never mind, I used that book for another task in the past already

Read a book where a character visits a museum or gallery"

Oh I have a book for this task! I wasn't going to use it since the page count is in the 200s, but might as well if it fits a task.

We have a new task and a new country:
>> Argentina
Author born in Argentina
Blue, White and Gold on cover
character goes to a musical
letters STEAK in title (any order)
character is a dancer
"tango" in text
Spell out Argentina

>> Read a book with MPG Adventure

Perfect, we can use this for the second task. Thanks!
