Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I just started one for teacher. I remembered a shorter erotica I have with teacher in it, so I can cover that one. I hope to have it done tomorrow.

Now this is weird. When I went to post my new book for the team challenge, my old books that I posted there before have disappeared.

Hopefully I will get to read a book tomorrow. Sorry I have been so MIA my butt has been getting kicked from school work and the holidays. So behind on everything and I just want to read!!

I've been really busy with school also. I'm heading into dead week and then finals.

I am trying to read a little at this time. But after the 11th, I will have a few weeks of now school so I will really be busing it out then.

That was on purpose James ~

For the "Books Read" thread, I've also removed books that I have used for goals, that way when I need something specific and I'm looking through, I'm not looking through books that I've already used. I did delete a few before I realized they weren't on the Mummy Quest. If you happen to notice one of your books missing on the Mummy Quest, let me know.

New Goals

~ Read a book where the title starts with the letter E
~ Read a book with a door or gate on the cover

Current Goals



~ Read a book where the world ends (Victoria)
~ Read a book with the phrase "It takes two to tango" in a book (Victoria?)
~ Read a book with the phrase "It takes two to tango" in a book
~ Read a book where the title starts with the letter E (M)
~ Read a book with a door or gate on the cover (Karsyn?)

Read a book where the title starts with the letter E

I have the perfect one for this. I have been wanting to pick it up for a while too.

Sounds good, M.

Victoria, you still good with the tango and world ends? I looked through the first few pages of the link you posted and I didn't see anything I'd wanna read.

I'm thinking we should use the boon on the 2nd tango one, cuz who knows when/if we'd get it again.

I don't have a door/gate off the top of my head. Gonna go look. ~ I have one, I could start on it in a day or two. Still working on the 2 books I've been reading. Got caught up in doing some other stuff for a few days. My mammoth one will be done by tomorrow, maybe tonight if I listen to some during the day.

Yes, I am good with the 2 goals.

Yay, Kerri got chosen to write discussion questions for the next BOM, American Gods!

Yay! Extra points for the team :D

Good morning, guys! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was slow and relaxing and it was awesome.

Oh great! Let me know when you post the questions, Kerri, and I'll give the points for it then. I've been adding BOM points as everyone finishes the book but I'll add the questions when when you have posted the questions.

Our weekend was typical. Lots of football. :) Hubby is a little frustrated. He was supposed to get vacation pay on His last check, so He could take some time off this week, and it got put on for the next check instead. So, He decided not to take off the full week and just take off 4 days instead. But then Sat He gets a call from His direct supervisor who told Him one of the guys quit and could He come in some this week. So now, He just has His normal 2 days off. Poor guy. But hey, we got to enjoy football yesterday, so that's always a good thing. :D

Hi team! Sorry to be MIA...I've been ill over the weekend.

Karsyn, if you haven't used that book yet for "It takes two to tango", I've got a book I can read to cover it.

If you have already used it, then I have it on hand in case we get that goal again.

Just let me know.

Again, I apologize for not being up to speed.

jingles ~ if you wanna do the 2nd tango one, that'll work. Since you have it, we can save the boon for something we definitely can't cover.

Hope you feel better! It's that time of year for sure. I can't believe we haven't gotten sick here. Zicam has really worked wonders for us so far this season. Here's to hoping it continues to ward off the yukky!

Great! I was hoping I was in time to save the boon. Some of those goals are really, really hard - and getting them twice is bad.

I'll get started on this one.

Same here! So I re-posted my books all in one post .... then I read what Karsyn (hi!) posted .... anyways .... let me know if you want me to break up my one long post in the other Anubis thread. And I'll stop worrying if my posted books disappear.

Currently reading: The Wordy Shipmates

hi guys still behind on my library books but finished one today.

Sorry Deedee and James, we get chatty, so when I started deleting the posts and posted about it, guess it got lost.

Yeah, Deedee if you can just add your new ones, that's enough. The ones that I have deleted are ones that I have used for goals. It's a good thing if your books disappear! :)

New Goal

~ Read a book in a series that you've been putting off

Can be used for a book in a series you have put off reading it has definitely been awhile since starting that series Karysn. I read book two in 2014

Awesome Jennifer ~ I was hoping that someone would have covered it already. :D BRB

New Goal

~ Read a book where there is only "one left" (could be one chance left, one survivor, etc.)

Well I've been putting off reading the series I am working on now. But I'm not sure if you already used the 2nd book.

I'm on my phone am can't get the spreadsheet to load.

Thanks Jen, yeah I had already used the 2nd book, for something. :) If we have to get repeats, I hope we get that one more, I have tons of series I've abandoned. :)

Current Goals

~ Read a book with the phrase "It takes two to tango" in a book (Victoria)

Sh*t My Dad Says-- #10 (grateful character)
The Road-- #6
Ruin and Rising-- #14
And just added War of the Worlds-- #8

Thanks Victoria, I'll get those added later after dinner. I'll go get a new goal now. :D

New Goal

~ Read a book where a character works in a restaurant/bar


any already done with this?

Finished book for the goal 'title starting with E' onto my next read. I have a long night at work ahead of me with nothing to do but read.

			The 25 Days of Tower Teams

Join us for the 25 Days of Tower Teams Holiday Challenge here!

woot! New Challenge

Yup! Fun one.

Books have to be started AFTER each day is revealed, so no books we're already working on. Let's get all of them!!

Completed "tango" goal

Well, I read the Six of Crow and the gang is based out of a bar/club that the leader (Kaz) owns called the Crows Club so there are characters serving drinks and drinking. Does this count?

Awesome Victoria, sounds like Six of Crows will work. Yay! Also, I'll need a page count (or percentage) for the tango quote.

Early start to the day for me. :/ But I'll be back with new goals, once I wake up a bit! :D

Page 23-- "We felt sorry for Amber, too, but as everyone knows, it takes two to tango."

Thanks! :D

Question about the holiday challenge: Can the goal be completed more than once? So if 5 of us in Team Anubis read a red book, will we get 50 points? I am guessing not but I was just checking since I am thinking that not all the goals will be this easy.

New Goals



~ Read a book that is in the "The Most Disturbing Book Ever Written" Listopia List
~ Read a book with a onomatopoeia in the title
~ Read a book with a red cover for 10 points!


------

onomatopoeia ~ a word which mimics the sound it represents. Examples: bang, boom, clang, mumble, plop.....

Nope, just once. (I was thinking about that last night, was something we should have added to it, will probably have her do that today). Knowing a few of the upcoming days ~ they aren't too hard, so far at least. :D

I'll do the "disturbing book" if someone hasn't started one yet

Have at it Victoria. Looks like it hasn't been done (again) so far, and no one else seems to be around this morning. :)

We do have a boon we need to use before the end of the week, I was going to see if everyone wanted to go ahead and use it on that one, but if you are going to take it, we'll see what else we get soon. Maybe we'll use it on the onomatopoeia one, if no one mentions taking it today.

I will be done with my red cover book shortly.

Well, I am officially another year older.

I'm going to celebrate by curling up in bed and finishing my book.

Good morning, team!

Karsyn, I don't have anything for the onomatopoeia book.

Happy Birthday to you, Jen!

Hello everyone! Finally got to read a book today, a re-read to make me laugh during these horrible weeks! I will check and see if I have a onomatopoeia book but I don't think I do.

Happy birthday Jen!

Happy Birthday Jen!
