Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

do you think that would work for bright green? or it's not that bright?

The green is bright but I don’t think it is at least 50%

Yes, & I see you've read it Karen.

I picked up a book and then put it down again to concentrate on some of the dozens of books I already have bookmarks in. See, this team is helping me even before the challenge starts!

Nice!!

I'm just finishing up for some other challenges these days, but I did get a book certificate for my birthday, and picked up ! It's a dark green though, so I'll keep looking for other covers :)

I’m also leaning more towards dark purple

I've read and enjoyed Chirp. Messner is a solid kidlit writer. I'm very impressed that you all seem to know what book you are going to read next...

:) Thanks!
It's probably because I'm going to teach this book later in May.....

Horror Mayhem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=613-H...
read any horror under 250 pages, no minimum number of books or weekly prompts

June on the Range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTXE...
read westerns. the video gives some suggestions of possible prompts, but there is nothing binding

I believe July has something to do with war, but it hasn't officially been announced yet. Garb-August is about reading "garbage" books, but the official announcement hasn't come out yet.

I'm sorry, I still haven't had a chance to read everything.

Is this that all need to read Kings of the Wyld?

Or is there anything that we need to read specifically.

I'm gonna have to give up my laptop for couple weeks, and it will be difficult to navigate goodreads with just my kindle. So I want to make sure I'm prepared for everything I need for this month before I send it off.

color question

Is violet a light purple?Blind Man's Wolf is 44.3% 2c2436 violet and has + another 42.4 more labled other violets

would it count somewhere for the rainbow?

OK, dark purple it is.

Does this one work for bright purple or is it too pale?

It looks bright purple to me 🙌

You can read absolutely anything you like 😊

It is only if you want to read the BOMs (starting with Kings of the Wyld) and join the specific discussion thread for that book that we receive additional points. But it is optional.

We don’t have many books claimed in the 100-199 page range or 600+ pages so that could be helpful if you have any in those ranges, but again, feel free to read what you would like. Every book counts

Catsalive wrote: "Does this one work for bright purple or is it too pale?….”

Good question! I’ll check with the captains

I have a KU series i am reading that mostly falls into 100 - 199 so i am sure i will help to fill this up as we move forward :-)

I am a fly by the seat of my pants reader so I haven't done much planning :-P

Great, thanks Nikki!

I’m a bit like that also except for my RL book clubs and any BOMs coming up. Otherwise I try and get through my long list of kindle and audible purchases haha

Not long to go now. It’s a bank holiday so hopefully going to fit some reading in amongst my BH bits

I agree with Karen it looks bright purple. I tend to steer clear of tineye unless a challenge specifically asks that it’s used. If in doubt post the cover here and we can make a team decision 😀

And we can begin. Well 10 minutes ago

💃🏽💃🏽
Now to decide my first book

Thanks! Happy reading to you too 🙌

Happy Reading !!😊

Louise, just want to let you know that I can’t link books in the spreadsheet as that functionality is missing on my iPad.

When I finish the book I can post the links in this chat if it helps?

As long as the book is on your shelf we can grab the link from there. 😉

Good Morning Guys,

I'm guessing you are referring to Finna for the dark green. It is listed as 92 pages, so won't really help. It is excellent and so it Defekt, which is just a little under 200 pages and kind of yellow-ish. I believe there is a combined edition, but it may be in Italian and not English... would have to look that up.

I am looking for some horror recommendations for books under 250 pages. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate them... can be novels, manga/graphic novels, poetry, whatever.

Do you like T. Kingfisher? She has some short horror books: Nettle & Bone, What Moves the Dead

I love Kingfisher and I'm scared of horror, but these short ones work for me!

I am just finishing off the books I had started in April and soon going to start a few new ones! Happy reading all.

I recently read Gone to See the River Man and House of Hollow (its more than 250 but read really fast for me) and I quite enjoyed them. (But they have to do less with ghosts but more horror as a genre)

I'm starting off with one of my Long ones


I'm horrible at this color...idk if it's a green or blue or what?
Do you think it would work as
RT14 or RT12

how is a 20 hour audio book only 433pg?

I don't know it works for a colour, maybe we use it for a spell it out instead ;)

And I totally agree on the 20 hours = 433 pages thing. It annoys me so much when I have a 20-30 hour audiobook and the page count makes it sound like a 9 hour book. lol

Ooh I enjoyed House of Hollow

I started The Daughter of Doctor Moreau which is pretty interesting - hybrids and all. While I was looking for the book on Libby, I found The Island of Doctor Moreau and I thought, hmmmm are these related?
I will find out!

Have you read anything by Samantha Schweblin?
She is an Argentinian writer. They are more psychological horror. Fever Dream is 183 pages. I've read a collection of her short stories, and I'm still kinda freaked out by it!

That makes more sense. Finna is green, but way too short to be of help
