Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion
Tower Teams VII
>
Team Sloth
I started reading
to help with another challenge I'm doing. And I'll most likely read the other books in the series in the coming days/weeks. Will that qualify for books from a series or author that you can't stop binge reading?
I guess it's the captain's call. It'll count for one of the other genres/criteria if it isn't a color cover.

So how far off are we now Melinda?

Hi Vianvamp,
Just to check: have you read the German translation? Because that's what you have on your TT shelf, while in your post the English kindle edition is attached.
They have a different page count (kindle 659 / German translataion: 624).
For the time being I'll put the kindle edition according to your post on the Team sheet, but please confirm and adjust your post or the shelf.
Many thanks.

Hi Stacie,

Mod
Please get in your last completion posts as soon as possible for the first week, thanks! :-)
(We're good on the number of books though, so no need to worry.)
Mod
Not quite our weekly goal but since there was lots of travelling going on all around, that isn't a surprise :-) We're within the limits and we've done well page-wise, and that's all that matters!
Keep those door stops and sin bingo books coming! :-)
Intercepted should be fixed now. I have no idea why it shelved two copies of the same book but to different shelves.
