Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I was looking under my name in the spreadsheet and it said I read The Search for WondLa for this. I did not. I think I started it in October.

Hi! I'm working on few books at the same time: The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood,Vuori by Helena Waris and The Lilac Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. I'll be checking if they fit any challenge when i'm finished.

°Read a book that contains the word radish
°Read a book where the ISBN10 number has exactly 2 even numbers

I went to Barnes & Noble to pick up Winter and it looks like 400 Page! (I think it looks smaller then Cress, I'm so excited to start it!)

Are we allowed to count books of the month toward goals or just books of the month points? And do we only get points when the book questions are finished?

I read Cruel Beauty. I can't help much on the ending, as I kind of skimmed because I was a wee bit bored, and just wanted to finish (sorry), but I would definitely think it counted towards the mythology goal. Wasn't the heroine basically sacrificed to keep the gods happy so that Arcadia would be safe?

I haven't read the book, but I know from the description that the MC's name is Nyx which is a greek goddess/titan. http://www.greekmythology.com/Other_G...

Meg I have already added your BOM read to the spreadsheet and you have got the points and I used it for the goal kindle edition over 500 pages.

I haven't read it but that does seem to fit the goal. I will update it now.

Actually it's 832 thin pages. Thank god. Otherwise it would be 400 page. Or I would have to carry around an 800 page hardcover

Actuall..."

I hope you enjoy it. I read and liked Cinder but haven't read any further in the series yet. Big books are why I love my kindle, so much lighter.

Does anyone's library have a Kindle/Overdrive loan system? Mine does. Saves my life.

Thanks Abbie I had planned to do that but we had some drama, my eldest accidentally kneed his brother in the face. He his now minius two teeth, thankfully baby ones.

I am almost done with a book with radish in it and I will hopefully get several more finished tomorrow.

Me too, I had going to check yesterday but things came up, and today I was busy, but its the first thing I checked when I got home, so I wouldn't forget.

Plus there were a few books that didnt get added to the non goal list, so I added those too.

Thanks Abbie, again that was on my do list.

Just looking do you think counts as someone swimming on cover ?

I would say yes, they are in the water

Whoo-hoo, looks like we were on a Goal Roll!

I know I got scuppered by 5 of the same vowel your Finders Keepers was so close.

I am trying to find another one for the number in title and series one. I got lucky the first time. I have Zero at the Bone but I didn't like it enough to reread it.

I can take the prison one--I've been looking for an excuse to reread Hold. Should be able to get it done today/tomorrow.

Hi Team! I'm hoping to finish Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson by tomorrow. It's a collection of short stories and might be used for the goal where the same vowel appears at least 5 times, in this case the letter 'O'.

I'm planning to read A Grave Matter next. Btw I signed up for writing the DQ's for Uprooted, hopefully I will get a spot :) I read the book His Majesty's Dragon by the same author and remember enjoying her writing style and the world building.

Glad the goals could give you an excuse to read a book Stacey :D

I may have wandered into a book shop must to the dismay of my boyfriend and bought like 6 more books.. I was like a woman possessed.

I'm on my first night shift of 4 tonight so I guess I'll be under a different timezone, although it'l be the middle of the night for me, and I'll be asleep during my usual awake times :) Sorry for being quiet the past few days, I've been a little poorly but I'm starting to feel better.

Stacey That is great I know I have one tht fits but didn't feel like reading it, glad you get to read something you like.

Audrey So glad you have that one covered it is a tough one. I really liked those shorts. I loved Wade's one. My Dh loves Naomi Novik's books, he has read all the Temeraire books I still haven't got to the first one. I hope you get to write some DQ's

I have the ePub of Everything I Never Told You if anyone wants to read it for the December BOM. I can email it.

I finished Hold for the prison goal.

I'm going to do the next 2 months of the Back Room BOMs, and I volunteered for questions for Six of Crows--but so did about 50 others so we'll see who wins the lottery.
