Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I don't think I got a book with a land mark on the cover.

It's okay Abir. We have five people reading for it, so you can read whatever you want this week for this challenge.

FYI I'm reading my I book now.

@Lexi, did you finish a B book? Were you down for that?

I will be done tomorrow!

Cool! After we're both done our current books, we can move on to our next stop...

So I can read whatever for the next detour, right?
If so, cool. But I'm open for suggestion if anyone has any.
Are we done with the Bilbao stop yet?

Yes you can read whatever you want for the next stop.

We'll be done with Bilbao when Lexi and I finish our books. I should be done mine tonight and Lexi said she'd be done tomorrow.

Cool. This stop was stressless for me. Maybe because I finished early and didn't feel like I was dragging the rest of you slow with me.
Can we set dates for the stops and work by them? It works easier for me when I know when I have to be done, since I don't check in every day.

The dates for the next stop will be 8/21-8/27. We get 7 days per stop unless we need to extend to let everyone finish their books.

Date Read: 8/19
Rating: 3 stars

@Josie and @Eternity, did you guys read a book last week? Any book?

Done as of yesterday (8/20):

Just finished this morning:

Okay I guess we can move on now to our next stop.

@Josie let us know if you read a book between 8/14 and 8/21 and we can get another 10 points

We'll be reading for this stop from 8/21 - 8/27...

I suck at updating Goodreads. I read finished 8/20/17

That's cool Josie. I'll PM the Mod - we got 35 points at that stop!

Completion post:
for detour "landmark on cover". It has the statue in Rio on the cover

I just completed Touch and Aleph
Sorry i haven't checked in a while. I suck at updating more than Josie.
What's the next stop???

Our next stop is Bahrain (BH). We are destined to arrive there on 8/28 unless our flight is delayed due to looking at landmarks for too long.

Our detour at the next stop is

Read a book with the phrase "break a leg" in a book

What does everyone feel like doing at the next stop?

Spell-it-out? Books set in Bahrain? or Detour?

Personally I vote for spell-it-out.

For landmark on the cover I read The Heiresses. Since it has Manhattan on the cover. Finished 8/24/17


If we do the detour, Since Tower Of Dawn is about to come out is it okay if I reread Queen Of Shadows? That's the only book that I can think of that has the phrase "break a leg". If we do the spell-it-out I have a book for the 'r' in Bahrain. Reign Of Shadows.

I will be finished my landmark book over the weekend.

I vote for the spell it out.

I have no ideas for that detour. How would you even know if a book had that phrase in it?

If you have a kindle you can search for the phrase with that option. There is also a web site where you can enter the title of the book and it would search out the phrase or word you wanted... but I just can't remember what it was! Anyone used this...

I can do the "H" in Bahrain if we choose the spell it out.

I can do "B" of Bahrain with the main character's first name Bailey in Someone Is Watching

If we go with spell it out looks like we have

B - Chava
A - Pigletto
H - Lisa
R - Josie
A - Jenny or Abir
I - Lexi
N - Eternity

I can take one of the A's with Agatha Christie...

I can do the I with I, Robot.

You can use Amazon to search for phrases.

I can take either the other A or the N with All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.

@Eternity, I really liked that book. It's sad, but lead to some really good book club bonding.

I still haven't decided what's my poison of th week will be, so I'll let you know when I'll know

Finished


25th August

I'll read Tales of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong for A.

Abir, if you pick a book that fits "A" you can take my spot. Otherwise, just read anything and post your completion so we get the extra 10 points!

Completion Post - Landmark on Cover

, read 8/26, 5 stars

It's got the New York City skyline, and the Empire State Building, on the cover...

Lisa, Lexi and Eternity - are you guys still reading for Landmark on cover?

I don't think I have any books with a landmark on the cover but I'm gonna have the book I'm currently reading done soon.

Cool!

Finished Landmark on the cover. Tower of London

by Philippa Gregory 4stars

Still reading. on track.

Just finished

guys what stop are we in now???? We're a team and we should be on the same page, but it seems we're jumping between two stops.

I believe we are all still at Stop #4 - Patral, where we are finishing up the detour (landmark on cover). Once Lexi finishes her book, we will be moving on to our next stop, Stop #5 Bahrain, where we are doing a spell-it-out.

It might have appeared we were jumping between stops, but I think we were just planning for our next stop while we were at our current stop.

Speaking of that, @Abir do you have a book that fits an A spell it out? Author's initials, first word in title, or character initials? If so, you can take the A spot I claimed, and I'll just post any book I read while we are at Bahrain.

Sorry, Abir.. maybe we got a little over enthusiastic!

Happy for Abir to take B as well. I will have a book finished this week. Sorry Abir, we got a bit too eager to fly on :)

Done. I am not at a computer yet. I will do a proper book complete post in a little while.

Cool! We earned 35 points at that stop (25 points for completing the detour and 10 points for everyone reading). I'll message the travel agent to update our stats!

Now we can move on to our next stop - Bahrain!

Abir, do you want to read a book for either B or A?

Sorry guys, didn't mean to sound like a grumpy bi**h, I just got really confused and a little hurt thinking you dumped me without notification.
Any way, since that is out of the way, I'm now reading Undeniably Chosen by Shelly Crane and the main character is Ava... There goes our first A.

Nice one, Abir,

Great!
