Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Yes!!!

Woohoo! Next up is Shirahama in Japan.

Spell-it-out again?

Yes, spell it out would be great :) then I can hopefully use one of my books I‘m finishing today for wheel-a-thon :)

Sounds good to me 👍

Ok. I'll claim the S because I just finished a book that fits and also the R because I'm currently reading that book.

S - Dirty Headlines by LJ Shen (Nicole)
H - The Heart's Invisible Furies (Kavitha)
I -
R - Not So Nice Guy by R.S. Grey (Nicole)
A - American Pastoral by Philip Roth (Kavitha)
H - Scrap Metal by Harper Fox (Sunshine)
A - Wolf
M - Mouth to Mouth by Tessa Bailey (Nicole)
A - Love Means...Courage by Andrew Grey (Sunshine)

I will take an a.

I will read American Pastoral by Philip Roth for "A"

Just finished The Heart's Invisible Furies - Can this book be used for 'H'?

Kavitha wrote: "Just finished The Heart's Invisible Furies - Can this book be used for 'H'?"

Yes :) Added it.

I can add
For H Scrap Metal by Harper Fox read 11/15
And
For A Love Means... Courage by Andrew Grey read 11/2

I read At Grave's End for A.

I read "The Innocent Wife" for I .. which I will finish today

I have read a couple myself and will add them later today!

Someone contacted me about joining our team. Do you think we have room for one more?

:)

Yes, I think so. Will help our numbers and hopefully we can finish tasks quicker.

Looks like we need the letters S and M to finished the spell out.

...any takers

I'm reading an M book, and a S book, so I'll post both if someone doesn't. I'll be done today.

I just added a S book.

Hello, I am joining your team and am excited to participate

I'll take M then.

Finished a book for detour The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine who Outwitted America's Enemies and updated the spreadsheet.

I finished The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells. Can it be used for M to move forward?

Kavitha wrote: "I finished The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells. Can it be used for M to move forward?"

Yes. I added it to the spreadsheet.

Onto the next place: San Jose del Cabo in Mexico.

Spell-it-out again or should we try to read books set in Mexico or by Mexican authors?

Either is find with me, but would prefer spell-it-out

Either one is fine with me. I find a book by a Mexican author Octavio Paz. So if spell out, I will read for "O".

If we are doing spell out, we have to read 14 books... :)

I personally prefer spell it outs

I’m reading a B book right now

Hi guys. I won't be able to participate any longer in this group. But its been so much fun!

Good Luck Tahmina.

I've set up the spread sheet for Spell-it-out and added a couple of books.

The detour is: Read a book with the word water, lake, pond, ocean or stream (plurals are acceptable) in the title

I added two books to the spreadsheet :)

Hi guys, I saw that you were looking for a hitchhiker - is it ok if I join you?

I have added one book. I’m going one book at a time as I’m a slow reader

Sophie wrote: "Hi guys, I saw that you were looking for a hitchhiker - is it ok if I join you?"

Sure... the more the merrier

Please add your name to the spreadsheet for the books you want to read and finish.

Welcome, Sophie!

I completed two books and added to the spreadsheet

I'll update and add my books here in a few minutes.

Wonderful thanks everyone.

I've added a couple of books so far and will see what else I've got that can fit

No worries 😉

On anther topic...
What is your favorite read for 2018...

Mine is

I have no answer for that one. I read so many books, and I can't choose.

Good question Sunshine!

I've had to look back at the year of books GR made so I could remember what I read this year (can't believe I read more than 250 books this year!). My favourites were the Fitz and the Fool trilogy (starting with Fool's Assassin) which was a very satisfying end to a series I've loved for years.

More recently I loved A Day of Fire: A Novel of Pompeii which is a cleverly done anthology about Pompeii as Vesuvius erupts.

I am also still playing, I just missed all the posts in the last week. I will look what I can read for this task
