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

Keli - the minis are running for the whole of TT so even if they aren't used for this itinerary we can use them for a later one.

So between Mel and I, we're happy with all 3.

Would any of these count as a statue for the cover?"

I'd say yes to the 2nd 2 and maybe to the first

Andy - love the reading advisor and I'm jealous of the hammock.

Which Tchiavkovsky books would you recommend? Have recently read Children of Time and really enjoyed it, but he's got so many!

Don't joke! In my head conditional formatting is witchcraft.

Neither have I! I'll get something pencilled in eventually, maybe. Or it'll be a surprise as I pick my next book.

I'll have a look later at what I've got. Something to take into consideration is that harder countries get us more points on these itineraries - 20points a book for the hard countries!

Happy Mother's Day to anyone who was celebrating yesterday and I hope anyone for whom it's a tricky day found a place of calm.

No worries Lauri - we'll get the books in. If there's a particular task you want to read for, let us know and we can get that marked in as well.

Denise - BOM comes separate from the minis so we can get the page points, BOM points and mini points.

Got caught in the crossfire occasionally. Will get my revenge later in the summer. Probably in a swimming pool.

That sounds awesome! Can't remember London having anything similar even when we were part of the EU. Also v much understand the desire to sit quietly after!

The weather here is much warm than it often is so we took my to a country pub with a playground for the first time yesterday. They did really well until Mr. 7 spilt a drink all down. Luckily we'd finished eating the mains so we came home for a water fight in the garden with our neighbours instead.

ETA the kids had a water fight. The adults did the typical thing of worrying about the washing that was in theory drying.

That sounds like a full on day, but hopefully a vibe of enthusiasm and happiness.

Glad you've found us! Hope you've had a lovely weekend and are well rested for the week ahead.

There should also be links to it in MelM's first post and the post at the top of this page in case anyone has trouble finding it.

Yes please!

Mel, Fiona and I will shift stuff to the official one as books get completed.

Task WW285 (CRISTO in title). Does that include "subtitles"? I'm planning on reading Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow, and I think that'll work, but just checking."

Subtitles are counted for those tasks so you are good to go.

Hello! Sorry the last few months have been so hard. Breaks from captain responsibilities are sometimes v welcome and the challenge and friendship can give a change of pace.

It may be you were on the official sheet rather than the tracking. Could you try again with this link? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

109 from the library?! Think I'm allowed 30 and that feels too much for a month.

On the books tab only, please. If ..."

What MelM says! The mini tabs are full of formulae so should be avoided. Filling it in on the books tab will magically fill in the mini sheets.

Well done on finding all of those! I'm sure we'll do some more tactical planning for the people that helps soon, but knowing you've got so many places covered is v helpful.
