Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

So what are we choosing for the next task??? I vote spell it out for Roswell.
What do you guys think???

I could probably find a book that fits the detour for that one.

WhT is the word or detour?

Word is Roswell.

Detour is a book where a character's first name starts with the letter A.

I could do either.

Thanks. I'm sure I could do an A as well. Or the spell it out. Don't mind either. But I think the detour for this is easier than the next one. (Book shelved 21st century)

I'm good with whatever the group wants.

A character - Amelia Peabody in Crocodile on the Sandbank
ROSWELL - I can take any of these - W, L, S, O

So far we've done 4 spell-it-outs and 2 detours, so I'm kind of leaning towards detour on this one...

I vote detour as well. Especially since we just did two spell it outs. For the detour I've got Audrey Rose Wadsworth in Stalking Jack The Ripper.

Yeah, probably the detour. I've got Annie Henderson in

So that's five people who could do detour.

Cool - so sounds like detour is the winner for our next stop.

@Eternity how's your "R" book coming along for this stop? As soon as you're done we can move on to our next stop. If you aren't able to finish it, let me know. I have an "R" character in a book I read we can use if needed.

Right now it looks like we have Pigletto, Lisa, Jenny, Eternity and Josie reading for the detour at our next stop. If at least two more members of our team can read for the detour too, then we'll get an extra 15 points. If this works, then we could earn 50 points at our next stop. That's the most possible points anyone can get!

So, Abir, Lexi and Chava, can any of you read a book with a character whose first name starts with A?

Yes I'm starting The Crooked House which has character Alison

Sure. I can read The Breaker which has both an Alex and an Aamir.

Are we ready to start the next challenge?

No. I have a bit more of my book left.

Ok. I won't start just yet.

I can try to find something in my shelf, I'm reading a book now but it doesn't have any characters with an A. But it looks like we still haven't started the detour yet, so hopefully I'll be dne with this one by the time we start the detour

I finished Landline by Rainbow Rowell. R for Rainbow

Cool! We can move on to our next stop now.

Reading a book with a character whose first name starts with A.

Goal is to have this book done by NLT 9/17.

what is NLT? Which town in which country is that? That way I can adjust to my local time zone :) Thanks

No Later Than (NLT)...

LOL. Great, thanks :)

Is it bad that I would rather read than work today?

Lexi wrote: "Is it bad that I would rather read than work today?"

I have many days like that.

I can't really agree with you today Lexi. I have the flu, so I rather sleep than read or work (or in my case, try tp find a work) :)

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully you will feel up for reading in a day or so.

Oh no!! Abir, feel better soon!!
I definitely want to read instead of work. I am trying to catch up on 2 weeks work after I was ill

It seems that we're taking turns at sick leave Chava

Book: Toxic by Jus Accardo
Date read: 12/09/2017
Character's name Alex Moujorn

Finally finished my book for Character starting with A - Annie Henderson. .

What are we doing for the next stop?

Finished Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs. Main character is named Anna.

Woo hoo! We earned max points at that stop - 50 points! I'll send a PM to the travel agent to update our records.

So what do we want to do at our last stop on this itinerary? We can choose from

Spell it out: Santiago or Chile
OR
Detour: tagged 21st century on 1st page of top shelves

My preference is Spell it out, either city or country. City would let all of us contribute, but we would need to read 8 books so everyone would need to pick 1 letter...

The timing is good. I'm going to start a new book this afternoon. Spell it out would be easier for me. I have a few books that would help.

The 21st century one would be harder for me, but if necessary I could probably make it work.

I vote spell it out as well. If everyone is able to read and finish a book this week the longer word would be great.,

I can do O, S, or G. (I have a pretty substantial backlog of books at the moment.)

I have a book for O and for T. Whichever one for me is fine.

Can Murder Games go for G?

Unfortunately Chava I'm pretty sure the first word in the title is the one that counts so no.

too bad. I'll have a look around for something else

The Target Committee for a T
Sorry, I have very little time this week to read, so I'm doing a short one

I can do for G if non-fiction is okay.

Put me down for S.

I'll do O. For One Dark Throne.
