Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

The words are most likely not on the wheel we have, but, again, who knows? The chipmunks are known for being a little... odd... ;-)

And yeah, I guess we really could manage the suspense tags, but since we've already had it, a respin for the fun of it might be worth it to change things up a little hehe.

(And there's absolutely no guarantee we might not get Coffee again somewhere down the line!)

I don't mind the coffee... it's the walnut I wanna avoid. new adult isn't something I seem to be able to find on my shelves, lol.

I've got X, Q & Z ready to go in case we'd get one of these.

Will there be a new genre if we re-spin?

Okay I'm game for a respin. Mystery word, here we come [:<


I've got books for coffee/suspense and walnut/new adult. It's the brown/space opera and terracotta/memoir I'm worried about

Yep.

If we re-spin, when will we find out what's next? I will finish my current book today, but don't think I'll manage another before the end of the week, so can start on next week's...

Let’s live dangerously and go for the re-spin...

Phew, I'm back home from the dreadful summer cottage! Hurrah for shower and indoor toilet!

I don't have any opinion on the re-spin, so if the majority wants to spin just for the fun of it, I don't object.

I think I've figured out the re-spin words... They're chocolate bars, right? Let's hope for a MARS, that would be easy, lol.

What if the default edition is the large print edition? I'll finish my current audiobook this evening and will start Country Bride next. The default is the large print edition with 192 pages. When I look at the list of all editions, the next one on the editions list after the large print edition is a kindle edition with 192 pages, the next after that also a kindle edition without any page numbers, and the next one a hardcover edition with 224 pages. Will we use the 224 page edition?

We'll get the new word latest tomorrow, so enough time to plan ahead before the week is up :-)

Maaaaybe, if Cat is feeling generous, we'll get the respin even quicker than that!

Well, Cat is a very kind and generous and generally all-round awesome person, so here's hoping? (you think that's enough sucking up, or should I throw in a few more superlatives?)

If the default is a large print edition, then we're using the next edition that's on the list, which would in this case be the kindle edition.

Hahaha, no I think you're good ;-)

Alriiiiiight,

most of you seem to be happy with the respin (Tea will agree as well, I'm sure hehe) so I'll go request us a crazy Chipmunk respin for this week!


Fingers crossed we'll get something good! :-D

Fingers, toes, eyes... I have 'em all crossed! ;)

Sammy wrote: "Fingers, toes, eyes... I have 'em all crossed! ;)"

That's the spirit!

Except maybe for the eyes ;-)

Holy **** This one's gonna be tricky! lol.

Sorry, false alarm, I didn't scroll far enough down on the thread lol

Sorryyyy :-)

('s why I deleted the message again)

Ah ok, lol.

Got all excited myself! ... and then realised how silly I was being ;-)

Ok, while we're waiting I should be able to squeeze in a short "R" book... Pillar of Darkness - Frustratingly 199 pages, lol.

Ruh-roh! The Chipmunks of Creativity and Chaos got confused!
Rather than a Re-Spin, they've done a Spin-Off!

Your replacement word is: ESPRESSO
Your replacement genre is: SPORTS

YIKES!

How To Watch Football - Ruud Gullit 304 pages

Not sure I have anything else! lol.

I can't stop laughing :-)))

The genre is terrible haha.

It's rigged! Rigged I tell ya! lol.

Lol! Fun! 🥳
The word is easy. Now to find the genre! 😮
I’ll go digging in a few hours

try ice hockey romances ;-)

The Year We Fell Down is an option - used to be a kindle freebie at some point as well. If you want an easy-going college romance with fun banter.

Eta: for someone else, I mean. I've read it only a couple of months ago.

Cat wrote: "try ice hockey romances ;-)"

Yep - Cold Fury Hockey ;-)
I've only read the first one so I could go for one or two more of those.

And if you don't want to go with ice-hockey romances, here is the sports shelf:

Happy digging ;-)

No romances for me, thanks! lol. But I found one so far, will otherwise go chunky non-genre ;)

Yeah, we might be able to scrounge up enough books so you can pick a chucky non-genre after the sports one - boost our points a little =)

YES! Pratchett! Unseen Academicals 544 pages definitely at least "S" characters, hopefully more.

So that's two sports from me. Woohoo!

Sports... oh dear...

I'll read the Gullit one first, then if not enough sports books, I'll read the Pratchett, otherwise will read another chunky (but the Pratchett is over 500, which is awesome already!)

I should have some non-fiction sports books, I'll go and check.

That I would not have expected! o.O

Pratchett had at least one book on every topic! lol.

Sports romances used to be all I read & I think I've got a couple left on my Kindle from the good ol' days 😅

The M&M Boys I read a couple of years ago and that was a decent book about sports and was another freebie at the time, so might still/again be.

I think I can work sports, but most of them are on shortish side

Mmmh, true. But if we get 10 short ones divided up through the team, we can always focus on bigger books in whatever else we read.

I'm sorry E, I think I'm gonna give up on Eldest. Maybe I can work on it slowly and finish it sometime during the challenge. It's just so slow and boring. I just got to 25% *sniffs* Even sample of audio put me to sleep.
What letter do we need?

I think I'm gonna reread Susan Elizabeth Phillips Chicago Stars series :P

Yikes! Sports is not the best😂

Maybe it's a perfect time to re-read Beartown and finally check out The Foxhole Court :)

Hahah, don't worry about it!
It was torture after all. Can't remember how long it took me to finish that book, or even the third one. Didn't touch #4 yet..

Do you happen to have another U lying around?
