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

Looking at the GR page the title for that would come through as Derelict. We then use the colon to say marines is a subtitle and should be ignored.

Nooo! What is wrong with them all?!

Team Hot Prof will lend what support they can but the lack of sponsor points is hamstringing us a bit.

Am I hopelessly cynical thinking the events in district 8 are actually bombers from D13 rather than the capitol to guarantee good footage?

District 6 and 10 have been having a lot of fun swapping the letters ONE backwards and forwards, but there are definitely more options for that chain!

Already got your back on that one. And went down a YouTube worm hole of videos of him.

Tom for me.

Ire at least have Ire as an word, I really, I remember, Ireland etc as options.

Noire

I've got this on KU if we can't find anything else

The collection of stuff Katniss picked up from district 12 made me think about what I'd grab as momentos.

I think the jumper of my mum's that I picked after she died would be very high on my list above all the electronics and everything else. Obviously I'm presuming my family get out with me.

I didn't intend to read this one either, but here we are! I have precisely no memory of how it goes other than a sense of disappointment with it.

Starting off being creeped out by President Snow all over again with the white rose he left Katniss.

KU has Noire... Would at least allow us all to move on a bit.

Right I'll leave you all alone and stop interfering in not my team.

Marty, it's been sent over to our opposition so please start it after 9UTC on 22nd July and finish it before 9UTC on 29th.

Can anyone read Spanish?
there's Oír tu Voz"

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but want to point this out sooner rather than later. The rules say: Books can be read in any language, but titles must be in English.

We'll see whether we can get back to sending you letters like Man to work with - sorry about this one.

Karl Urban please

That's right, we want the AMS at the start as an overlap to the end of their title.

There are a few titles starting with Amsterdam but not much else with Ams as the first few letters - they are playing hard ball with their letter choices.

I can pick up:
The Amsterdam Adventure
Amsterdam by Ian McEwan unfortunately has too long a wait

If Marty, Ushashi or Lauri don't have anything they want to read.

I've asked the librarians to add it, because despite being on KU it isn't on GR.

Or Idris Elba... There's a split between your captains this round.

Yep! The starting words have been announced in the captains group so now we wait on them.

If we can let Lucy, Marty, Ushashi and Lauri have a chance to pick a book early on as they didn't get much of a chance last round, I think that would be a good thing. If they don't want the pressure of having to read something within the week, then that's absolutely fine too.

Sorry Vicki - that was me. As I said here I get a bit twitchy towards the end of the round so where there were replacements available and I couldn't see that books were being read either on the SS or on people's GR pages, it felt safer to me to replace them. It's no comment on you as an individual, but I knew that I wouldn't have time to play captain tetris over the weekend and unfortunately have been burnt by other people before. Overabundance of caution on my part, badly communicated so I apologise again.
