Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Hope you are feeling better soon LaLine.

I've got a blank cover book for home reading and the adverb book for work reading. Hope to finish one of them by tomorrow. And now I am going to read in bed because it is freezing here.

Added Sarah-Jane's book to our goals.

NEW GOAL -- Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as literature - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable.
Shockingly enough people thought was literature to make the first page.

Since we used it already, you don't have to bother putting all the info on the book thread. Saved you some time. :D

"NEW GOAL -- Read a book with a muscular built man on the cover."

I started one that fits yesterday and finished it this morning.

Read a book with no images/objects on the cover (ALLISON)

Read a book where a character is given a last chance

Read a book where a person fulfills their dream

I think my Jennifer Hudson biography should work for fulfulling their dream - her dream was to be skinny and famous and she's definitely skinny and arguably famous, so achieved.

I need a day off from screen reading, so I should be finishing up my actual dead tree books today for no image on the cover and shelved as trilogy.

I can't believe we probably have only 10 days left in this challenge. I will be glad to go back to leisurely reading but I will miss this challenge and you people. :D

Only 10 days left ?! :(
Don't feel like I have helped you guys all that much ! Ha !

Of course you helped. We've used every single one of your books for goals! I think the level of participation on this team has been outstanding. Bravo all of us!

-- Read a book with a truck on the cover.

-- Read a book that is set in a medieval time period (between 5th to the 15th century).

-- Read a book with a guitar or other musical instrument on the cover.

-- Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as borrowed - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable.

I have more books in the After Cilmeri series to read. The family keeps time traveling back to the medieval time period. I will start the next one now.

I just finished 2 of the After Cilmeri books - they both have a medieval setting so that goal is covered.

Thanks Donna - which one has more action in the medieval period please? And does it say what century they go back to, or just medieval?

Allison Ann wrote: "Thanks Donna - which one has more action in the medieval period please? And does it say what century they go back to, or just medieval?"

I would say the second has more action in medieval times because it is longer. The 1st one is an in between novel so it is shorter. Both only have a brief time in the 21st century (barely a chapter). Most of the book is spent in 13th Century Wales.

Hello all! Just finished . It fulfills the guitar/musical instrument on cover goal. You have to look closely, but the scene in the bottom middle of the cover shows a guy playing a guitar and a drum set behind him.

I can't believe our time here is coming to an end. I haven't read very many books, but I've done very well for my personal speed. Some of you ladies read as many books in a month that I do in a year!! I've been having great fun getting to know you and have lots of books to scope out in the future from your reading lists :)

Thanks Donna - I used the shorter one just because the longer one had some more possibilities for future goals

Thanks Tara - I added your book for our musical instrument goal. Bettering your personal goal is awesome! I'm looking forward to going back to a slower reading speed myself as much as I have enjoyed this challenge. My crafting has definitely suffered. I might even watch some TV in February. :D

-- Read a book with a truck on the cover.

-- Read a book where a character is given a last chance.

-- Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 201-250 on your list (the first column before the book cover image).

-- Read a book whose author died 5+ years ago.

I don't have 200 books on my TBR, so I'm definitely out for the last goal. :D I'll see what I can find for the others.

Haven't been around since yesterday, haven't felt too good. Was just coming to see if there was any updating needed, but can see Allison has been around.

Yeah, crazy it's coming to an end, i think it's gone pretty fast. You've contributed to our team effort, so don't worry there.

Tara wrote: "I can't believe our time here is coming to an end. I haven't read very many books, but I've done very well for my personal speed..."

Amazing going on doing well on your personal goal.

Hope you're feeling better Danielle.

Ho, I hope you get better Danielle!
My book had borrowed on its top shelves, reported it.

I am feeling better today, thanks both.

Updated with Ariane's book for borrowed and mine for the to-read shelf (201-250)

I just found a last chance book. I'm good with booning the truck goal. There's literally just a few days left, so may as well make use of that boon.

~~~
Put in boon request on truck goal.

I'm currently reading a book on the Dystopian list.

Nice run of goals Danielle. I'm heading to work, I'll have a book or two done when I get home. Hope everyone has a good day.

Boon granted. Plus I finished the dystopian book, so two new goals.
