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

If we could create at least 2 hours more in the day for gr and reading that would be ideal.

I need to finish off some of my current reads to see what more I can commit to... but I am sure I can squeeze in 1 more if needed."

There are countdowns on the summary sheet and the end of the mini corresponds to the end of round 1 (so 9 UTC on 15th June).

The temptation of free books can get too much!

For those of you who are lost after that rapid fire exchange, I've updated the post with what we are missing.

I also managed to find an orange cover in the checking of everything

No apologies! Loving the enthusiasm to get all the tasks covered.

And you are adding them on the sheet before I can get to it!

Oh no, there wouldn't be any chance of new books being looked at...

Amazing Mel! Thank you for keeping us on track with this.

Been doing a quick check through shelves etc.

Suzanne: could you please look at which resources Throne of Grace and A Woman of No Importance could be used for?

Teddie: Can The Templar Legacy be added to your shelf please?

Vicki: Anything that hasn't been marked as checked on the SS isn't on your challenge shelf. Could you add them please?


Yes, I know I'm being a pain about this!

Quick update on where we are on tasks for the mini (TLDR: Awesome claiming of tasks everyone!)

This is what is left to claim:
5 points
All letters of CORNUPIA in title : 1

3 points
Horn on cover: 1
Set in Crete: 1
Set in Idaho: 1
Takes place on a farm: 2


Hope everyone is enjoying what they have claimed so far!

Luke Evans please

I've got an audiobook and an ebook on the go most of the time. Sometimes there'll be another ebook or a physical book in the mix as well.

Oh and whatever the boy child is reading at bedtime.

Cecily - you are already rocking it! All the pages count so 1 x 600p and 3x 200p all get us the same points. Read what makes you happy!

Cat - if it was before the challenge, you can answer the questions but unfortunately it won't get us any points.

MelM - Once I eventually figure out how to get the books up, I'll upload a pic for everyone.

I've found actual books so it will end up taking up most of the wall in our spare room/my office.

My husband gave me the clock hands about 5 years ago and I've got all but 8 for the numbers now. It's taken longer to get on the wall than I was expecting but nearly there hopefully.

Disgraceful! Hang your head in shame! (I am doing the same).

This is the basic idea, but will be with books that I have read and enjoyed

A rewatch is called for soon... Has been over 10 years.

Bamber. Apollo is just so watchable.

Happy June! I hope everyone has a wonderful month!

Big munchkin goes back to school tomorrow after a week off so things here will return to normal(ish). Means I will hopefully work out the next stage of the book clock I've had planned for several years.
