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

You can also get to a similar list via browse at the top. Then go to all genres, type the tag into the search bar. Under the first set of covers there's a link to more books.

Works better for me as editing urls on the phone is tricky.

Cars are so expensive! Life would be very hard without one but sometimes try to work out if there is a way.

Read. Wade into water to cool off. Repeat. 🌊🏖️"

Sounds like bliss! V jealous right now.

I enjoyed the 1st couple of Charley Davidson but haven’t read any of hers since.


Amy - did you get your tyre sorted?


I'm off to a friend's wedding this weekend so will be quieter than normal between now and Monday. Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

They will come! It takes several minutes to set up each maze so I need to find some uninterrupted time to get them up and running for you.

We're 4 books off finishing the maze! Any suggestions for this one would be welcome even if you aren't able to read it.

I've got all 3 of this month's bom from the library so will be starting them when I finish An Echo in the Bone and being distracted by the maze.

Missy - how is your mum doing?

Mia - I hope the exams weren't too awful and you are able to relax now.

Audrey Jane- sometimes trash is the only way to go! You know it isn't going to be a favourite but it just hits the spot you need it to.

Bleurgh I don't want to think about 80s and 90s being historical fiction. I suppose it's anything written and set in a time in the past so technically things set in 2000 to 2010 would be historical fiction too.

Task: Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter E

Direction:

West (Odd Number of pages)


Will respond properly to messages here in a bit when children are asleep!

Everyone who has asked to have a maze should now be set up. If I've missed you or something isn't working, please send me a DM.

As Tricia said, this is a known issue but real life means a permanent solution isn't in place. Please read a book with author last name B instead with a title working for the direction.

Steven: Yay for favourite authors to kick start reading enthusiasm again. Hopefully Ilona will work their magic.


Missy: I hope everything goes smoothly for your mum this week. Glad you have 3 good books on the go to occupy your brain a bit.

Sorry for the relative quiet from me over the weekend - my mother-in-law has been staying which hasn't left much time for GR.

Maze: Thanks for holding books and keeping an eye on it for whenever you might be able to help. It's moving fast than I expected it would. I used to be able to read at a rate that would be possible to take part, but I can't get the blocks of time any more.


Task: Read a book where a pet name starts with the letter L

Direction: North (Title starts with A-M) or West (Odd Number of pages)

Task: Read a book first published on the 17th of a month

South N-Z
East even page number

Either would be good.



And thanks Andrea and everyone else who are putting their books forward and reading for this.

Well everyone is moving the maze on v quickly!

Task: Read a book that has a map (e.g. pages usually at the start of a book with a drawing of the world. NOT the word "map") I believe this includes map on the cover as a suitable book for this task.

Directions: Title must start with N-Z.

Task: Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with B

Directions:

West (recommended) - Odd # of pages
North - title starts with A-M


One that might be filled by luck!

I've just sent you an invite so you should be in soon.

I’m also really confused by the BOTM. I read Travelling Cat Chronicles finishing on 5/31, but..."

Once you've looked, just put any questions here and I'll do my best to help.

BOTM - this folder has links to all the discussions. You don't have to write the questions to get points, but you do have to answer the questions other people have written with 1 momth of the start date (i.e. before 16th June for travelling cat).

No worries at all! I like to keep everyone in the loop so if you do have something, you know the option of using it in the maze is there. I'm not likely to catch all the tasks though as there are some speed readers all over the world involved.
