Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

For spell it out I can do
B, J, P, M, G or D

This will be my last stop.

Happy Thanksgiving...

I'm good with either the detour or spell it out

I am good with either. Completion post to follow. Finished my 800 pager on the plane!

Awww. sorry to hear that Chava. It's been great travelling with you. See you in another challenge soon.

If we do a spell it out, put me down for any of these letters..

M T S E H C J O D V I F B W A

I'm fine with either as well.

All the Missing Girls read 11/23, 4 stars
works for letter A

Finished The Traitor's Kiss for my T book. I’m good with either, but isn’t this spell it out going to be long? Or am I getting it confused. The detour looks fun though. Anyways either one is fine with me.

For the spell it out we could do either the long city name or the country which is Spain. With 5 letters less points though.

Finished My Sister's Grave by Robert Dugoni and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Seems like a lot of work to do the city. If we can finish the city and everyone reads for at least one letter, we can get a maximum of 35 points.

Is everyone up for reading the detour this next stop? We can get 50 points if seven of us can read for the detour - one of us can read another book (any book) or read for the detour as well.

If only four of us can make a book work for the detour, and the other four read any book, we'll get 35 points (same as doing the city). So I would vote for doing the detour if at least four of us can read for it.

Here's the list for the detour: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

I can read #121 on the list

I'm totally fine with the detour...I'd go for more points if everyone can do personally...

I’ll do the detour as well. I’ll finally finish reading Dragonfly in Amber which has been marked on my currently reading thing here on goodreads since February... good thing it’s #63 on the list.

I'm fine with the detour.

Completion post:The Burning Mind by M.G. Gardiner

Will fit letters B, M and G

I can do a re read of Wuthering Heights for the detour. Although I can’t start till Saturday when I get back from holidays. Let’s go with the detour then.

I'll read The Prize #1332 on the 'Best Love Stories' list

going to delete the posts with the spell out reference so not to confuse future...

I updated our tracking sheet. Abir and Chava for now I have you down as "other book" as I didn't see a post from you confirming you could read for the detour.

Given the holidays are upon us, can we let this stop last two weeks too? So, we'll start on Sunday Dec 3 and finish by Saturday Dec 16.

Sounds perfect!

Good for me too. Thanks.

I just finished In the Woods by Tana French. it's not in the list but you can add it as another

Eunice and Lexi did you finish your book for the last stop?

Eunice you had V, and Lexi you had O

Yes! I finished about a week ago but was out of town and didn't have my computer at the time. I forgot to come back in and update.

Completion post: Otherland: City of Golden Shadow. For the O.

How's everyone doing on their reading for this stop? I haven't started mine yet but I plan to be done by Sunday!

Mine is an audiobook this time around. I could probably have it wrapped by before the weekend if I really push it.

I'm reading mine a little at a time as it's a re-read (Wuthering Heights). I was so lucky this year to actually visit the Bronte Parsonage and see the kitchen table where it was written. I bought the annotated version while there so I'm enjoying all the footnotes and historical notes. Should be finished by the weekend though.

That's so cool!

I changed my book to Jane Eyre

Jenny wrote: "I changed my book to Jane Eyre"

Oh, I love that book also.

When we were there they had a really cool project going on. Apparently there are no original manuscripts of Wuthering Heights in existence so they are recreating one. Every day ten or so visitors to the Museum are chosen to write the next sentence from the book in a beautiful leather bound folio which when finished will be placed in the Museum library for posterity. And my friend and I were so fortunate to be chosen the day we were there.

I haven't started my book yet for this stop. Sorry guys! I'm almost (temporarily) free from the torture that is school.

I'm almost done with the V book. I'll be posting the book later

Finished Lick on 12/4

#513 on Best Love Stories list

Finished Dragonfly in Amber on 12/8

Finished In Times Like These by Nathan Van Coops on 12/16
For Boa Vista

Wondering how everyone is fairing balancing reading and the holiday...

Finished Jane Eyre #2 on the list

I went ahead and updated the spreadsheet...looked through the thread...looks like it's Lexi and Eunice for the finish...dbl check me...

Completion post: #42 on the list - Bridget Jones's Diary

Great work everyone.

Apart from Chava, who is leaving us here is everyone else cool to start First Class, maybe after the holidays?

After would be great! I'd be fine with having a book to find too...

I am on board

Graceling by Kristin Cashore
#78 on the list

I'm on board for after the holidays as well.

Count me in.

I think I'll be stopping here. Sorry guys.

No problem, Eunice. It was nice travelling with you.

So that's Josie, Jenny, Lexi, Tammie and Lisa continuing on so far, I might PM Abir and see if she's still on board.

Sounds good!

Hope you all had a happy holiday/Christmas break.

Looks like we are have completed Business Class. Do we want to get our First Class itinerary yet and see if we can pick up a few hitchhikers?

Yes, good idea. I'll send a PM to the NBRC Travel Agent asking for the itinerary and updating our points for Business Class.
