Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I assume it's too late to go back to the discussion? Oh well, it actually fits a bunch of options, I think.

Like, The Librari..."

Unfortunately we can’t get discussion points for this. BOM discussions are only open for 1 month.

New 🐿️Task

Random 10 - X-Factor - Read a book related to a talent competition

Melissa wrote: "The Save Christmas tasks have to do with the title of books. I picked Enchanted Hunt to start us off, as T is a good one for titles. E can be more elusive... so if you see an E title, that's good :)"

I’ve moved this to fit the Right side of our square.

To Save Christmas we need:

Book 1 : A book that ends in an E
Book 2: A book that ends in a T
Book 3: Title begins with the initial of the title of book 1 and ends with the initial of the title of book 2

Oh ho! So clever! I am new to the square titles challenge part :)

Most excellent. I'd like to be in that book now...

Didn't a bunch of people read Fourth Wing? I'm reading the audio (so going slowly) but it has an X character.

Which the audio pronounces like Z but I am trying to handle this. (My son often uses the nick name Xan and we say it with an X, not a Z. They are different sounds!)

I have the paperback and the audio. If you didn’t read the first time via audio I’d recommend it - two narrators one doing the Darlington sections and the other Alex

I’m about 75% through and no idea where it is all going to end! I think I will need to pick up book 2 kind of quickly

I have the book that I may read yet this month, but I'm wondering if it would work for any of the colors we still need? Since it has multiple colors on it, I'm not sure if it would count?

I don’t think it has enough of any color 😞

New Chipmunk Task

Random 10 - Read a book with an X in the author name

I'm finding it funny how the Shang-Chi task sat there forever and then at least 3 of us finished books for that task on the same day. Luckily, mine also works for pick ax (and I didn't even know we needed that at the time... how lucky was that?)

I don't mind it in either but I thought we could not use June books for the wheel tasks, hence suggested the Chipmunk one.

I have an elephant book

I also have another book that has "cake" in the text (The Cook), will try to finish it today as it is super short and I am already about 30% in.

I added one that can be used for baker, witch, or cake/cupcake in text as well as one that might work for a spell-out
