Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I think it's meant for #30. I have a book on that spot but I can delete it"

Let me see if I can move any of mine around.

I am not sure if we can use my book for both cookie in text and the christmas challenge for green text on cover? So that will need to be fixed. One or the other, right?

Sooo, please substitute my book for green text on cover. It looks yellow on here for authors name, but it is really green. I have the book right here and it is green!

Sarah, I thought you were going to use Scat for the characters ride a plane bonus?

Just finished BOM. Do I have to do all days of DQs for it to count?

Sarah - right now these are the three tasks you're down for...

13. Read a book where the characters get on a plane - not sure which book
19. Read a book where a main character has a name that is in the top 20 dog names in Australia as per this website. No alterations to spelling - The Which Elm
33.Read a book with green text on the cover - Counting by 7's

Strategically, we'll get a lot more points if we read all special holiday bonus books... so if we need to pick, I think it makes more sense to use a book for a holiday bonus than a weekly bonus.

I think she should keep Scat for the plane one. Finding a book with green text will be easier than finding one that has a plane ride

I can take the green text one without a problem. That way we can still get all holiday and weekly bonuses

This is what the rules say, but I'm not sure if it's really clear...

- Writing a day's worth of discussion questions = 40 points
- Participating in a current BOM (participating in discussion) = 20 points
Note 1: We will accept one team member per book per team for writing a days DQs. If, by three days prior to the BOM starting, we don't have enough volunteers to write all DQs, then we will let more than one team member per team write questions. If we have more people than days sign up (prior to 3 days before start date) we will randomise the volunteers to determine those who can write DQs

That all sounds good. Leave my book Scat for airplane, counting by seven for cookies in text and Krissy do green text on cover.
Oops, I had forgotten Scat was already placed somewhere else. So perfect. Hopefully we fill all categories. Good luck team. I got three books to finish by tomorrow, but it is going great.

If someone can put the spreadsheet back to normal I'll add my final books. Which should cover the rest of the slots

Krissy - you are amazing.
I also have my book Stones from the River to finish - nmay be used for a bonus challenge #21 but hopefully is put in a spell it out because it is 525 pages and will be worth a lot of points.

Yes the spread sheet is not showing up for the planning portion for christmas challenge?

OMG getting nervous. What happened to spreadsheet? Hopefully it can be fixed.

Okay! I didn’t do every day but I answered questions for 3 of 5 days

It looks like there was just a filter on the spreadsheet, it's removed now.

The only unclaimed task left is:
9. Host an end of year BBQ with your mates. Read a book with a BBQ, or BBQ food on the cover

I just started a book for the bbq task

All my books are finished and posted in books read thread. Hopefully we can move things around and get all letters for all books and completed all tasks. I work tomorrow but will check back in tomorrow night and see how we did. Go team'
Happy holidays everyone. I fly to Florida on Wednesday for my three week vacation. Have a 10 hour layover at JFK. Plan to go see New York city in that window of time - Rockefeller and Times Square and fifth avenue. New York all decked out for Christmas So excited. It will be like the movies. Gonna take the subway.

I am going to get all books added either tonight before i go to bed or tomorrow before deadline - currently leaning toward tomorrow as I just got home from 13 hours at my daughters dance dress rehearsal and then her dance concert and I am ready to fall over.

I will make everything fit though. Congrats to everyone on how you have all done this wheelathon. You have all read like champs and its been a pleasure to be your captain

I'm done with my books! I won't be able to add my last book to the books read post but it's on both spreadsheets. It also takes care of our last unspoken for Christmas task - bbq

Done! It's been a fun challenge everyone, happy holidays!

Well done all. We completed all 40 of the mini challenge tasks!
