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

Oh ouch! Fingers crossed that all feels a lot better soon.

A cheese I've actually heard of before! Yay! 😅"

It was my turn to throw and it's one of my favourites!

oops, forgot the golden rule

"Don't poke the chipmunks!""

The captains' group is full of chipmunk food unfortunately.

not sure why, but I thought mini 2 would just keep going and going...

The mods occasionally want a challenge to be not too much effort to run and not too complicated for players. Unfortunately while we start with the best intentions, comments like this often bring out the worst in us. The plan for this one is that the minis released at the start are what we have, but our worst chipmunk instincts sometimes take over.

I was traveling fairly close to home and had a minor car issue. I stopped by the "mom and pop" mechanic in this little town to get it checked..."

Aww that sounds like an excellent way to spend an hour and the best possible outcome for any car issue.

Definitely a cow there

New task for mini 2

Read a book with a door or gate on the cover

This leaves us with 3 more tasks to uncover for that mini and then it is complete!

What was the Sri Lanka book? Might be one I can pick up in a couple of days when I finish my current read (that doesn't work for any of the open tasks)

If I could rest in the Shire, I'd be a happy hobbit.

Ooof that's far too hot. I've been struggling with 28C, but AC is not a common thing.

Been at my sister, brother in law and nephew's birthday party today (all born on the same day). Enjoyed partying in the sun but now home to quiet.

I've been working at home today so music choices have been all over the place and I can dance to my hearts content at the standing desk.

It's been so hot I haven't wanted to move though.

Good progress through Steven! Welcome back

Barbequed cheese is awesome. I want it!

It doesn't have to be on a particular page of the list though - it can be on page 836 if the list is that long.

Sleep well!

The mods have had fun travelling the world looking for cheese.

The Death Maze works for a religious character. There are a lot of buns and bishops.

Or.... You could start reading a chunkster - lots of lovely page points so it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit a task.

I'm still surprised I've actually met my sign up total. I didn't think I'd read that much this month.

Yay!

I think you have Cat to thank ultimately. I can't remember whether it was useful as a U or a yellow cover. If I remember rightly she's written others which should be on my tbr if they aren't already.

Incredible work, thanks!
