Me too! But I guess Red Pandas are so cute and cuddly they can't help but want to check out the thread.

Places No One Knows by Brenna Yovanoff
384 Pages
9/22
For 2nd Title relay probably?

I was pleasantly surprised by this book; I've read another of Yovanoff's books and totally hated it. This one was much better and kind of sweet.

Dark Waters by Tracy Abrey
247 pages
for 1B - book's main setting is under water

Really cool pair of books but you have to read both to get the most out of them. Easy reads, I recommend them.

[Caly ☯ Crazy Book Lady]

Now starting for Bonus 2B - vines on the cover

After that I could read Never Never for the relay if it is needed or
I have on my Kindle

which has food on the cover and may net us more points?

I am fine with either..

[Lory]

Can I claim 2A bonus, read a book with a purple cover. I did a color check and it was 60% violet. Will that work?

[Rose]

Lory - violet is definatley purple :) I grant the permissions

I would be inclined to say the food one, because I'm pretty sure Ray and I are doing pretty well finishing up the second title relay between banked books and books we're committed to reading. And more points always=good.

But as Kazen says... read what you like ;)

[Ray (user2637)]

I'm not bogged but I know there aren't that many spots to claim atm so I didn't want to grab two. It's yours if you want it!

I've been rereading Goblin Emperor for most of the week, so that doesn't count for us at all. Super enjoyable though.

[Ray (user2637)]

Haha guess I should read all the comments before replying. Nice find!

I'll finish up Woman in the Dark today and come back before starting the "why" book. In case anyone claims the spot. Off to do errands!

[Ray (user2637)]

Confused me too! I think what happens is people see the 'recently updated/commented' threads on the NBRC homepage or somewhere and just come because the thread is hopping.

It looks like the relay is moving away from Nevers... but it's a great option to keep in mind :) Did you want to take the food cover spot?

*poke poke* Kazen, I finished the book starting with "Places" already, but it's not marked off in the goal post

[Ray (user2637)]

I finished the "door" book for bonus 1a too!

[Ray (user2637)]

Starting now. Hope it's funny! Dealing with a..um.. poopyhead... doctor today and it's stressy. :/

[Kazen]

Bethany and Ray - thanks for the pokes! Fixing now :)

[prag ♻]

Hmmm, nothing to claim. Well, then I'm off to reading Never Never: Part Two & maybe Never Never: Part Three if I get time :)

Reading for 1E next

[Lory]

Also Kazen, I've finished the book where the characters dance. it doesn't looked crossed off. The book was Ella Enchanted.

[Tammie]

Can someone clarify...can we read books now to bank for final challenge?

Bonus 2D? It looks crossed off to me, weird :/

We can, but we may be limited in how many/what kind of task we can use them for. No word on that yet.

The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
9/23
460 pages
8B- COVER IS SO YELLOW (I think it added up to 77% on the checker)

So, if you tried to read the parasitology series by Mira Grant, and liked the concept but felt like some of it fell flat, I recommend giving this a try.

[Bety]

Oh no, there's nothing left to claim until we get another bonus labor!

[Lory]

Hi Bethany - if you can find a purple book, you can go ahead for that one. I am not going to be reading that much this weekend and I am not dying to read it.

I'll see if there's anything I'm interested in. I've still got my centaurs book to plow through, so it's not like I've got nothing to read.

I was pretty surprised that everything was claimed too! Though there's now Bonus 9A and Bonus 2A that are available to tap in. :)

I'm halfway through my vamp book. Hoping to finish today so we can get a new bonus labor. Also, if 1 more main labor gets finished, then we can open our 5th bonus labor! Yay team, getting so close!

I'd read enough reviews to know it was bad, but you can't just not read it.

I finished also, I'll mark it/post tomorrow morning, I'm off to sleep now. There are no goals anyway so it doesn't matter :D

[Bety]

I dunno, I'm very good at not reading books that I know are going to be terrible.

Is the second one worth reading though?

So I realized that the end of WOBBLE is fast approaching, which made me super sad. Anyone know if NBRC tends to host these kinds of things regularly, or is this sort of a one-time thing? I don't know what I'll do without a reading challenge group...

I agree 100% Bethany. I LOVE Team challenges!

[Ray (user2637)]

I think I heard that this is the biggest/longest/most involved challenge ever in NBRC. I'm fairly new here too (joined March or so) so I'm not too sure what else happens. I mostly do the Novel RPG.
