I will finish Tracks another non-fiction (NF) book at some point today.With No Baggage and Girl in a Band that will be 3 NF books completed by me. I have others to read and am happy to do so - but just wanted to check first if anyone else has read any NFs to beat Milon?
I can't find a place where these are being recorded.
I have heaps of Mysteries I can start next as well - if that will be better to beat Milon's next challenge.
I read one (the post is above) and I can read a couple of mysteries. Too bad we didn't have this challenge last week though, cause I read four in a row.
i read an NF also earlier in the week

They were recorded on our WOBBLE planning sheet - I've just submitted the NF Milon so you can't see it anymore. You can see the books labelled as mystery now

For the mystery Milon bonus we just need two books from either H E or L
I'm reading Drawn Together. It's set in Long Beach (Cal), Las Vegas (Nev), and Louisiana. So, it can be used for L and it has been shelved for Mystery 13 times. I'm assuming that the 10+ rule is what applies for this challenge?

Oh :o None that've come into the story yet but I'll see
There's a speaking character named Emma.

Mystery; Letter: E
Hi guys, Im really struggling to read this last week, my hours have increased at work due to one of the staff on holiday for nearly two months, and with a new fitness regime Im stuffed by the time I get to bed and struggle to keep my eyes open to read more than a few pages. Sometimes I wish life would slow down a little it feels like its going too fast at the moment!

Hope you're not too stressed out! What's your new fitness regime?

Good luck with that Ange! I have always wanted to give cross fit a try but I am not nearly fit enough at the moment. I admire anyone who can do it wellThough I start a new job with less hours at the end of the month so am planning to get some quality gym time in with the extra hours. It helps I work for a gym. Also this virus that I have been fighting has caused me to lose 8 kg in the past few weeks so looking to capitalise on the weight loss now that (hopefully) I am on the road to recovery
Speaking of fitness and sport, is anyone else being distracted from reading by the olympics. Watching swimming at the moment even though have less than 10% of my current read to go. Guess it also says a lot about my current read :-p

H: Author Colleen Houck

I've been watching Olympics basketball games and looking forward track and field to start. Work has been busy for me too and my son leaves for university next week so we have been travelling back and forth looking for a place to stay and moving him in next week.I'm struggling with The Girl on Train. So far nothing great and I don't like the main character at all.

woah Nikk 8 kilos in such a short time is huge, that virus is a whopper! I am so unfit right now so everything is a struggle, but I do feel not so sluggish as I was two weeks ago. I do have a tendency to only stick at things for a few weeks so we shall see ...Skandia, it must be a strange feeling having your son go off to uni. Your son must be feeling pretty excited.
Can we read a two book series for the last milons challenge?

It says all books from a series not all books from the same series ;)
I'm reading another mystery.So is Gillian or someone else going to just read a series by themselves or do multiple people read the series? Either way, I can read a short series as soon as I'm done with this book or read a specific book.

~~~N~~~ wrote: "Not sure I get what you're saying...? "The bonus task isn't saying that the books need to be in the same series. It just says that all books need to be from a series ie. no standalones.
Does that make sense?
