Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

question...shoiuld I only post in the scavenger hunt post? or should I also post in my origial post?

Catherine, I think is better with we continue to post the read books in our original post.

I'll use The Scavenger Hunt Post basically to get the informations regarding the items found.

If it's too much work let me know and we can think some other way.
But BR's and BOM's should definitely stay on the original post.

oh..so just put the items found in the scavenger hunt post...gotcha :)

Is there a limit to how many we can find in each book? Because I just started a book set in California, Mr. Kiss and Tell, and I can tell a ton of these are going to come up.

only 1 item per book...I am pretty sure :)

That's right, Catherine.

Rose, it's one item per book.
As much books as we want to read.

I've found Ben.
And finished Engaging the Boss.

We are entering WEEK

Looking for Trouble..beer..pg 42....


..."there was better steak and cheaper beer to be had..."

finished :)

Wow, I look away for a minute and something exciting happens.

I will check my book from the 24th and the Harry Potter book I am reading now for words.

I have also read 6 books since my last update. I will now add them to books read and make a scavenger hunt post there.

I have found Spider in my book but it is not an animal it is a person. Is this okay?

If not I will have grass from the same book instead, which is just in a sentence. Does that work?

If not I will have tree from cover.

As you can see, I am not actually sure what we are doing here

found fish ...For the Love of Venice..pg 26

"...a giant whole fish grilled with no spices or condiments at all."

Finished Mr. Kiss and Tell

Hi Jane,

The words on a sentences or cover (or title) are fine.
As images on the cover.

The word (spider) as a name I'll have to check with the mods.

Beside that, is one word per book and a person can only find one exemplar of the words.

Agnès, your book Never Never isn't in your 'tt3-lightning-hounds' shelf. Can you updated it?

Apoorv, your book Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore has as date finished 22Jan2015 on GR.
If it was really finished on 22th we can't use it.

Don't worry Apoorv! Sometimes when I finish a book early in the morning the GR puts the finishing date as the previous day, probably because I'm at a different timezone.

I've finished Treading Water and among many words I've chosen to go with surf. :)

Agnès, could you tell me who is David (is he related to some of the main characters?) or could you copy a phrase where his name appears?
Since he isn't in the book's description we should probably explain it a little. :)

Juliana,
You missed my post in the read thread. I had farmer and sheep

That was an or not a and. I cannot edit on my phone

Juliana, I see that even Catherine has found Beer in her book.. do you want me to look for another word in the book that I read ? Or can we find the same word multiple times and still get points for them ?

Agnès wrote: "@Juliana : I explained it in the post about the scavenger hunt in Books Read!"

Ok, Agnès! I'm on my way to there!!

Esther wrote: "Juliana,

I just saw it Esther!! I've already updated the spreadsheet and I'm on my way to update our list here.

But thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

Hi Apoorv, the team as a whole can find a word multiple times, but a specific member can only find a word one time.
So you and Catherine can have the same word. :)

So, I missed Jane's second word too! :o

List updated! 15 words so far. :D

Great job team!!

Juliana....did you see post 992?

finished :)

Catherine wrote: "Juliana....did you see post 992?"

Probably not! :(

I'm on my way to see it now!

Catherine wrote: "Juliana....did you see post 992?"

Oh, I have seen it, but I was waiting you finish the book to update it.
I just added it to the list and to the spreadsheet! :D
