Sophie’s Comments (group member since Apr 28, 2013)

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

Kane for me on Sammy's behalf.

Yeah that's good.

I'm sure I can find another Q book if needed.

I've swapped a U book of mine into the spell out and it looks like Poisonous Fog has nearly lifted.

Cat - unfortunately we can't use illustrators in the spell-out. Otherwise that would be a great plan.

So my understanding of where the banked books are (sorry will be back from holiday on Monday evening and then switched back into stuff properly) is that they are everything marked as read on our tracking sheet but not moved across to the official sheet. If you can see it up there, then we know where it is and can shuffle things as and when needed.

White Chrysanthemum is still on there and ready to be slotted in as soon as we spin district 3.

Please read everything you signed up for/want to read! It'll probably all end up slotted in somewhere. Anything that you finish after Aug 1 can be used.

I'm reading in the Unbreakables series which can cover another U as and when needed.

I've got a dog book under way.

And another that works for championship games.

I've finally managed to defeat the Dunnes, but Grendel's Mother has come to call instead.

350-400
Title includes a relationship (i.e. Clockmaker's Daughter)
Char loses a limb or is an amputee
Oldest book on your TBR list (publication date)
"hark" in text

Well that is not the final I'd expected from Thirst Games.

District tour first please before any repeats.

Thought that was probably coming...

My 5 sponsor points to Tom Ellis please.

Another couple of hours and those books can be finished! Nearly there.


Holiday is full of activity. Hoping we've tired the smalls out a bit so far so we can have a little more rest, but we'll see. Weather is finally playing ball and consistently high 20s which def helps the holiday vibes as we're still in the UK.

Awe, thank you, Sophie. :) You are also adop..."

It's lovely that they know each other well enough to point out clothes and gifts for the others. My son is Minecraft obsessed - he's got Minecraft pants, socks, t-shirts and jumpers. Only thing missing for a full outfit is trousers! Most days he's wearing something with Minecraft, Pokémon or dragons.

Currently on holiday and will be back on Monday when I should become more useful again.

Vicki - I want to be another honorary grandchild too please! Sounds you like you make an incredible effort to be there for your family.

My first challenge I woefully underestimated what a Team challenge would do to my reading level! Think I sign up with 4 books a month and read about 15.

Toy can finish them so long as it is after the start of the mini. They then go into a bank of books for us all to use. It maybe that later on in the mini we have a full stack in the bank and can roll again straight away.

Catherine wrote: "When there are two authors do both authors initals need to match or can we choose just one?"

We can just pick one.

Marty wrote: "Is the mini challenge sheet locked until we finish District 1? I just tried to add a title and it wouldn't allow it."

Please use the mini column in the round 3 tab. It will then automatically pull your book info into the mini sheet and means you can enter the resources and mini info in one place rather than 2.
