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

Just found out that Mr. Mercedes can count as rain, or any other cover that could be "raining blood!"

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! That's got to be it for me too!!! The voice she uses for Lydia annoys the poop out of me! And the screaming voice?! UGH AND CLAIRE'S ANGRY VOICE?! Uuuuuuuuuuuugh!

How do you like the narrator? I'm also listening to the audiobook and she is kind of annoying me but I can't put my finger on why.

Oh I DEFINITELY read on. I'm almost finished with the book but I'm keeping meticulous notes so I don't spoil anything.

@RebeccaS #25 BAHAHA! YES!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Chapters 10 - 12 DAY 6

23. Did Claire actually fall in love with Paul or was she just so afraid of being alone? She cheated on him multiple times, is that "being in love?" She took care of him in the hospital, but was that guttural fear just because she can't be alone?

24. Do you think Lydia really forgives Claire for choosing Paul over her? Do you think Claire forgives herself?

25. Do you find yourself yelling at the book? Things like GET OUT OF THE HOUSE or CALL THE FBI AND STOP STRAGGLING! What do you find yourself saying or thinking?

26. Do you think Paul's father started this or do you think this started long before him? Do you think it goes so deep as to include politicians and law enforcement?

27. SO MUCH WAS REVEALED IN THIS SECTION! Questions were answered, loose ends were tied up. Did you expect Paul to be alive? Is he telling the truth about being purely a distributor?

Here are a few books with rain or the ocean

Behind the Beautiful Forevers

At the Water's Edge

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea

The Beach

Thanks Natalie! I was actually gonna buy No Country for Old Men after work today because I've wanted to read it for years.

The Monk and the Riddle: The Education of a Silicon Valley Entrepreneur is the first book I've found on that list that has a 2000 page 1 shelf. This is gonna be tough...

No Country For Old Men

"

Does Farhad's Storm front cover this? It has lightning."

That was used for a previous goal "Read a book with a character's first name starting with the letter 'V'"

Natalie wrote: "Here are a list of books shelved as 2000 and as 2000s, but that doesn't mean it's on the first page.

Winter should be done tonight which would take care of the fruit goal."

YAAAAAS! Thank you :)

***PLEASE READ***

Ok we just fulfilled so many goals.

1. I used The Looking Glass Wars to fulfill the goal "Read a book where a character has more than one child." (Brie)

2. We were assigned "Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as stories - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable." -- I used Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy (Brie)

3. We were assigned "Read a book about a group of friends." -- I used A Little Life (Farhad)

4. We were assigned "Read a book with a book cover depicting rain." -- THIS IS OUR NEWEST GOAL TO COMPLETE

Nope. Yes BOMs can count for goals. But a character has to have more than one child.

I'm gonna use The Looking Glass Wars. Mr and Mrs Lidell have Alyss and their daughter.

Farhad wrote: "Brie, my book "Hounded" completes that goal."

Hounded was already used for a goal, Farhad

Erin (Paperback stash) *is juggle-reading* wrote: "Thanks Brie

No one liked the "one" goal :) Hope we don't get it again. (knocks on bookshelf wood for luck)

The new goal seems much easier"

Have any of your books had siblings Erin?

***PLEASE READ***

WE GOT A BOON FOR THE PESKY "ONE" GOAL!

New goal on Page 1.

PLEASE search your brains and let me know if any of the books already read fulfill this goal. Then let me know the character's names.

***Read a book where a character has more than one child***

My queen! Love your research!

Yes.

So when you go to a book's main page, there is a section on the right that says "Genres."

Underneath that section there's a link that says "See top shelves."

Click that, and on PAGE 1 (no further) we are looking for any shelf that has "2000" in it.
