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

I'm pretty sure this works for red, white and blue on cover (blue in the berries at the top right). Could someone else have a look to make sure they agree?

I've grabbed the set somewhere cold task - a book set on Antarctica has come up in TT.

I need a book set somewhere cold for another challenge so will take Antarctica.

I'd almost like one to at this point given the mountains of washing.

Thanks for all the good wishes for yesterday. It went really well but after 11 hours of socialising I've been exhausted today! Kids enjoyed swimming and playing cricket with my cousin's children (8 under 10s charging round).

Would a chocolate egg work instead of a hard boiled egg? Have a couple hiding in the cupboard from Easter still.


People cycle a lot in the book I'm reading for mini 2 but I think it'll be more helpful for bicycle in the title.

So swapping Mel's book into that slot gets us:

Read a book written in first person narration


I'm off out for the family party soon. Chocolate mousse is made, kids are awake and not v grumpy. Weather is grey but meant to improve!

I wouldn't worry too much about where it ends up as we shuffle them as they get finished.

My Iran book hasn't come in from the library yet so I'm fully expecting that to be in itinerary 4 or 5 not 2 where it is now!

In theory there is something on the official sheet that changes colour. Given ours is a lightly edit copy of that, it should turn red when the cap is exceeded.

Food pagodas are the type of thing that would have entertained her. Looking forward to seeing my cousins etc for the day. Hoping the sun comes out again so that the kids can all enjoy the pool as well (and hopefully the adults will play responsibly which isn't always a given with them!).

Need to find time on Friday to make a chocolate mousse from her old recipe - the pressure is on.

Cheese pagodas look wonderful.

We're having a party this weekend to commemorate 10 years since my mum's death. Wonder if I can persuade the person bringing cheese that it should be presented like this.

Thank you Sammy!

Feels overoptimistic to describe London as a cold climate! Is the closest my current 2 reads would get to working.

We can definitely use them for the cheese and 1 other mini.

Looks good for options on C.

Any offers for one of O or N?

Thanks Andy, that's good to know.

So with captain tetris of the books that have been finished today we have 2 letters left of our Pecorino snack:

N
O

Please let us know as you finish a book that would work for them.

Mod discussion says that yes it can be as it was finished on the 20th.

That's now on my TBR shelf! Thanks for the recommendation.

P or C likely to be helpful. Going to to be I or O that is more tricky. The cheese letters are only worth 5 points so more value from reading for other tasks in my mind!

That is the right way to manage cheese!

Cheese never goes bad, just more full of flavour.

Pesky mods and additional challenges.
