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

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

This why having you and Cat together for monster wheels has been a problem!

Who knew there was a beatboxing world championship?! Learn something new every day.

New spin:

251-400 pages

is written by 2 authors and I'm reading it currently.

Listening to 9-5 by Dolly Parton and they both contain numbers

The voices were something else. Has been a while since I've listened to acapella but am always v impressed by what people can cover. The beatboxing is something else as well!

Ooof that's quite the epic journey to get there. V glad that the security lady was a solid human being and took pity on you.

Haven't heard them before but love those videos so will be listening to more.

Also I know several women who would kill to have hair like the main singer in My Church.

Penny-wise has been sent away, with his balloon. Instead Grendel's Mother has appeared.

1 350-400
2 Title includes a relationship (i.e. Clockmaker's Daughter)
3 Char loses a limb or is an amputee
4 Oldest book on your TBR list (publication date)
5 """hark"" in text"

Sammy hope you've had a lot of fun.

Snezana, you learn to stop worrying about it pretty quickly!

Glad so many country fans have found their way here, and we'll have to see what Sammy finds to open up the genre to new listeners.

Navi - well done on finding the answer! A lesson for everyone that a lot of questions are answered in rules somewhere (almost like there have been many challenges and the mods do try to help!) so it is often worth rereading them if you aren't clear on something.

Melissa - congratulations! I hope the newest addition to the family settles in well and you enjoy your time with her.

And as for Nanci... team rap don't stand a chance!

I think this may be the first time Sammy and I have been put into the same team (not counting the monster wheels). But then I've been doing challenges since TT2 and have completely lost track of who I met when and whether it's just from general group chaos.

Blake Shelton is welcome to come say hi in just the hat if that's what he wants.

My playlist shelf is here.

Will keep it in mind for later then and keep an eye on whether more tickets come out for individual nights.

8-10th March 2024. Suspect I'll be able to swing 1 night but probably not all 3.

Just need the line up to know which one is the one to go for!

ETA or not given the 3 day tickets have sold out already without the line up being released.

My sister went in about 2018 (I think, Carrie Underwood was playing) and I was very jealous.

Might need to get you back into the habit for a meet up and leave Meic (Mr Sophie) with the kids.

Oh books... yes we should probably talk about them.

I read pretty much anything but horror. Currently on a fantasy binge, but that will probably switch to historical or crime before long knowing me. Romance is likely to come into my reading at some point too.

*does a line dance into the group*

Hi everyone! I'm Sophie. For those of you who don't know me already, I'm one of the Mod Squad and have decided to take a step back for this challenge and be a regular team member. Sure I can't get into any trouble here...

I'm a country fan too, but the opposite end of the spectrum from Sammy. It wasn't something my family listened to (being more the rock/metal types). Took until my 20s to discover them so I'm a Carrie Underwood/Lady A/Darius Rucker type girl. There is a local festival of Americana that I can't wait for the kids to be old enough to go along to with me.

Other than that I go to my family roots of Rock (Bon Jovi is a good one for the whole family), some Metal and Pop (not too proud to admit it!).

Always happy to look/listen to anything you post Sammy!

Only time we'll be hoping they come up

This page is a good place to start with how the BOM participation points work - the last post has a full explanation and worked example.


Normally the first day DQ goes to the person who nominated the book. It's always worth asking in the thread when you volunteer though!

Ask away here. There are likely to be other people with similar questions. Once teams have been announced, please take questions to your captains as a first port of call.
