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

Hi - I am reading If It Bleeds by Stephen King. 447 Pages

It works for:
W13c - Carnivore on cover (Cat)
Ewok3 - Carnivore on cover (Cat)
Virtues1 - average GR rating of 4.0 or higher

And of course a whole slew of letters for Team Towers. And has an Orange cover. I will update letters as I read unless I see you have picked a task. Thanks :)

Thank you :). I added it to the spreadsheet as you suggested with the memo see msg 889. I should have it done tomorrow.

Hello! I am reading Small Game by Blair Braverman. I can use it for Tower, but it also works for some wheel tasks:

Ewok1 Set in a forest
Joro3 8 in page count (288 pages)
Taun4 "Title has set of at least three repeated letters
(THIs THIng of Darkness)" (A, M, L)

It also works for some of the Title Tasks, but I figured those are easier to fill so I didn't list them.

Would you like me to use it somewhere in particular? Thanks!

Or is this just happening to me?"

That has been happening to me as well.

Yikes! I missed that. Thanks for the heads up.

Hello. I finished a book that I posted before I read the message to hold off on 500 page books. Sorry! I will check in here first next time.
Later today I will finish a book I was going to use under wheel: Read a book where the page numbers add to 5 (i.e. 212 pages = 2+1+2 = 5). But I am happy to move it somewhere else.

Any book finished on..."

I added my book in the Teams Tower, sorry! I had a "V" I could use. I did list a bunch of other letters. As this was an older msg, I figured it was ok to add, but if you want it removed, just say the word. Thanks!

I've added a couple books sense we started, and I hope I'm doing alright. I was a bit confused in the beginning, but I think I figured it out :)

Start yelling if I'm messing up the spreadsheet!

Hi Everyone! I'm Christine and this is my first TT challenge. I am from White Bear Lake, Minnesota and have 3 dogs. Two are German Shepherds named Daisy Bear & Tinker and the other is a Mini Aussie Shepherd named Otis the Destroyer and the name fits.

I run a busy sports bar and love most outdoor activities and watching the explore.org Bear Cams all summer :)

I enjoy reading most genre's but enjoy long series of books the best.

Looking forward to making new friends and the start or the game.

You are the best! Thank you :)

The spreadsheet is not recording my books read. I tried to edit, but you need permission to change the spreadsheet (understandably :)

Could a mod take a peek at it? I believe it is just missing the formula in the E column.

Thank you for everything you do for us and these challenges!

I haven't done this challenge before so count me in :)

You have made this so easy with the spreadsheet just sitting there and waiting for me! I'm in :) I'm starting with 12 Books that would clean out my oldest book and the year 2015.

Happy Birthday December Babies! So much fun. Take care and be safe.

I added a last one as well in the green section. But I am also good if you have longer books to replace mine :)

Thank you, Jenny! Such kind words. I really enjoyed reading the discussions and being a part of this group.

I second the Hurrah! for Angie and for doing the job I absolutely could not do :)

I look forward to hopefully teaming up with all of you in the future.

And I would still happily participate in a viewing of Bill & Ted.

May your journeys not be bogus, be excellent to each other, & party on dudes!

I haven't read that one. But I agree that it does sound like an interesting book.

I don't know how precise we are being with the colors. TinEye Labs broke it down as this:

42.0 %#ae1d51Red
27.3 %#210a12Black
15.6 %#6c1334Violet
4.6 %#410f1fViolet
3.9 %#ddd9e2Grey
3.5 %#629eb8Blue
1.4 %#b36282Violet
0.8 %#d9aabePink
0.6 %#d1dd29Yellow
0.3 %#8e9826Green

We used that on a different challenge. I definitely agree with Angie. Looked dark pink to me as well.

I finished a book today that works for A, G, and R. I added it to the spreadsheet. It had 372 pages so not terrible. Feel free to dump it is it doesn't work. I thought we might be able to sneak in one more spell out the extra books listed at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

I hope you feel better Angela and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I didn't know Audible was having a sale (makes sense) so I am headed there now :)
