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

Now it's time for me to stop fiddling with this and see if I can get anything else finished in the next 12 or so hours.

Thanks, we've shuffled it into white text.

So far everything marked as read on the SS has a home in the minis and there is a plan for everything in the district depending on what gets finished.


- WOOL in title Below the Bones (Cat)
- #8 in series The Lost Bones (Cat)
- item related to district on the cover: textiles The Nonesuch (Mel)
- author first & last initials in TEXTILES Silver in the Wood (Teddie)
- set in India (50%+) The Devourers (Marty)

DOG MUTT CRYPTIDS have made their return for one last slobbery attack.

Ah that would leave a C in the spell out though.

The thief taker has a character who wears a plague doctor outfit as a key plot point. Given it is made of textiles, I'd argue it would work for the last task if no one objects.

Time for district 8

Out with kids ATM so will go through what we've got in a bit.

Let's go for it!

I've just finished one that works for D so can swap that one out for you. I'm trying to work out what I can manage to read in the next 36 hours.

After that, it'll be time to concentrate on the monster wheels and my tbr challenges to try to shrink that monstrosity again!

The S is looking helpful.

Since we are unlikely to get to another district before the challenge finishes, the books that had been kept back for that are being used in the spell out wheel (R3mini-hazards tab).

Your Russia book has been moved so that we are using the B at the start of its title rather than its location.

Basically at this point we are just trying to get as many points as we can from the books we have on hand.

If it doesn't I'm reading Battle Ground which can go in either for the B or blue text on cover.

(H and J aren't useful letters right now).

Apparently I've read the first 4 of the series but I honestly can't remember them... I wasn't blown away but that is true of me and most romantasy (although I should have learnt from the fact that I don't generally like YA books now and grew out of reading them when I was about 13).

On the cover would work brilliantly and there's definitely stuff that can swap into location.

Next up we have D13! Below is what is currently marked as working for these tasks. If you aren't currently reading them or are unlikely to finish in the next few days please say so we can whittle down the options. Similarly if you can dive into one for this and finish it in the next 24-48 hours please say!

ornithologist was used as an O in the Electric Forcefield spell out.

If you look at the top of column B there is a triangle/funnel icon that you can press on and select True and False to see everything. If it is on True then that's everything that's moved across to the official sheet and false is everything that hasn't been moved.

We're off to district 6 next.

I'm on my phone so SS shuffling isn't my favourite right now, but will see what I can manage.

Our 3rd District is completed. Should be getting a new one soon.

We're 4 letters off finishing the spell out with CIOR waiting to be finished.

this can be my next read which would do either a purple cover or a method of communication (letter) on cover.

I'd agree that if we have books that work for the harder to do tasks in the district sets we should keep the books there rather than slot them into the spell-outs (unless someone happens to have a Q book set in Argentina in which case we'll need to have a chat about it...).

I've just finished this which will work for E or can be kept as a purple cover. I'll get it added to the SS later
