Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

i'm looking just waiting for kindle to charge so i can search for zombies on ku and then check its been tagged that i also have scribd

Oh boy...I need to get to work searching...we are a pretty talented group...I think we can do it!

I had to remove one book from the spreadsheet because I won’t finish it in time. It was an S in the first spelling of the phrase. It looks like we have an S in the last incomplete spelling we can move up, so hopefully that doesn’t mess us up.

I still might be able to fit in another book before the deadline — I just won’t be able to do the one I was planning on. I have a lot of driving ahead today and tomorrow morning so I might be able to squeeze an audiobook in. I just only have the hardcover copy of the other book I’m reading so that won’t work!

OK...thanks for letting us know Kaley!

Opps i thought it was last day in a few hours was about to start messing everyone. Ill relax now but in that case i should be able to get both S done by tomorrow i was about to start zombie books im weridly excited about it but ill find two more s instead.

I have 2 books that can work for S if needed. I won’t be able to log them until later though but just so everyone knows

I read a book yesterday that I hadn't added and just added the S for us!! Woo hoo!

I have to admit that I HATE zombie books! I can take 1 or maybe 2 for the team but most likely this last round is going to be TOUGH for me and getting those tags/colors, but especially the tags. Sorry up front!

Alright Vicki...whoohoo!

Remember all...we can have 1 unfinished spellout...so if you read for anything else...just put it in the last unfinished word.

Looks like this has been a strong round for us. Nice work all!

We do have one unclaimed 'O' in our last spellout...if anyone reads extra we will be able to fill that in by moving books around...so just fill in the next section.

Here's what I show outstanding:
Alyana: Three Wishes | Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing
Jodie: Fake Friend
M: Bared to You
Vicki: Arsenic and Adobo, Night Road

I'm going to try Anita Black, Vampire Hunter Series I've had book 4 on my tbr for some reason for awhile...has anyone read this series? Books 1-4 count for Zombies.

A couple of books on my 'read shelves' that count for Zombies that I can recommend:
Magic Bites
One Foot in the Grave #2 in the Night Huntress series...#1 doesn't count, it's a good series
At Grave's End #3 Night Huntress

I got an hour left for Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. Will update the sheet later. Three Wishes should be done likely close to the deadline.

I will try the Warm Bodies series since it was mentioned that it got adapted to a movie so it should be good. I hope so.

I can cover the letter O but tomorrow I am watching my grandkids and we have 21+ hours until the round is over. SO I won't be able to post my last book on time, so Tammie, if I message you when I am done can you add it to the SS for me? I will go ahead and add all my books for this round to the Wheels shelf as I check them all so that will be done. I won't be home tomorrow night until around 6:00pm which means 6 hours after the round ends. If that won't work, I'll remove one of my books.

That's fine Vicki...just make sure it's on your shelf for tomorrow's finish date...as long as I hear from you before our timer runs out, we're good to go with your plan!

It's already on my shelf and it's Rum and Raindrops

im done with my books for the week i have an hour before tree decorating time i both love and hate it

I just finished my last book for this round.

OK...as of this minute, I have finalized our move for finished books to our main Team SS. The totals aren't computing to the main yet...some kind of error...but the mods will work that out.

Another great round...

...I just looked at our claims...look at all those zombie books...so happy to be on a team that will endure those things...and the week before Christmas too!

I've started my first...happy to report it's not aweful, but I'm probably going to have to try a different series...giant rats aren't doing it for me...hehe!

Recommendations please!

just in cases this is useful to anyone

kindle unlimted
The Undead World of Oz: L. Frank Baum's the Wonderful Wizard of Oz Complete with Zombies and Monsters
Empty Bodies

scribd
Zombie Fallout
Alice in Zombieland
Enclave
Generation Dead also red cover Y/a but 400pages

im going to start I am Scrooge: A Zombie Story for Christmas this one i had to pay for

FYI
M - I moved Battle Royale and The Passage to the O spot. Just made sense as these are tougher to find.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was a fun book and has 19 tags for zombies. Didn't know there was a sequel (though sadly that one doesn't count for zombies). Also didn't know he's the one who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Think I might give that one a try. I think the only other zombie book I read was World War Z which I remember enjoying.

That is fine, move anything around to make it fit

As of this minute we're still in the #1 spot.

Nice work Daisy Jones and the Six!

Woohoo Daisy Jones and the Six!

Hi all, I would just like to let you know that as of this moment, I am down with the flu. I will try to read the books that I claimed but I'm not sure if I can cover more than that. My apologies.

I just noticed -- It looks like we're missing a letter on our planning sheet for each spell out. There should be three Ses in a row, right? Needless Street?

i'll sort it now

Get well soon Alayna!

All thank you for your contributions to our challenge! Please do read what you love.
I’ve read a couple of zombie books but I’m reading for other challenges too…we’ll continue to do well if we’re reading what we enjoy!

You're right, Tammie! I'm doing okay with zombie books and decided to read several of them. Not my favorite for sure but not too bad. I'm trying to figure out a good, maybe GR Choice Awards Winner or nominee to read.

BTW team...My GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER (6th great) was born last night, Dec. 13. Scarlett Rain Carson came into the world weighing 9lb 3 oz. :) She's perfect in every way and healthy, praise God! Mommy is doing well bless her heart...she's 4'11" and is only 90 pounds herself so how did she do that? lol No C-section required either. SO happy for them! They now have a Jay who'll be 5 in May and the baby. I am so blessed!

awwwww ...congratulations Vicki! what a special time for your family...I'll bet mommy is very happy to have that done before Christmas!

congrats Vicki!

checking in team, I feel really sick right now, I can't finish a book bc I can't focus, my throat hurts and I'm having chills from time to time. I'm not sure if this was the flu, or I might've gotten the new virus going around. I tested negative for covid but this is the first time I felt really sick.

You take care...I hate being sick and I agree...it's impossible to read...find a tv program or just call it a day. I hope someone is taking care of you...some medicine is likely warranted.

Congrats Vicki! So happy for you and your family.

Thank you Tammie and Jodie for the get well wishes. I've been binge watching and just sitting on our couch feeling uuggghhh.. I just keep telling myself, you have to finish at least one book! I hate this!

Thank you everyone for your congratulatory posts!

Alyana, take care of yourself and I pray for a speedy recovery for you!

Alot is going around at the moment ive had a headache all day so havent read anything either which i hate. Simply because to me a day reading noting is a day i wasted. Probarly how ive managed to read more books then i thought i would. Set my challenge this year to 365 and set to my partner i ll never do not even going to try i just set it high so i dont have to change it. I have gone way passed that. My headache would go when it past midnight hear and i should be going back to bed but now wide awake.

I can’t believe we’re at the halfway point for our last week of the challenge…the time has flown by.

I finished a few days ago…really good!

I’m just about done with …I’ve decided I need to read more of this author…nice light read!

Jodie, I did not read Alice in Zombieland, I think it was M who finished it.
