Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Yes, as a team. ;)
When you finish a book that fits one of the letters of our word, post it here and I will add it to the spreadsheet. :)

Welcome Alyssa!

Thank you, I was confused because everyone keeps trying to spell the word out.

Ok green teams the challenge has begun!

A few things to remember
- post books as read into this thread
- remember to post your read books to your wheelathon shelf
-captains/co-captains you should have access to your spreadsheet and the captains group already. If not, message me
-books need to be read before noon Sunday 28th March (Australian EDST) for week 1, and then week 2 begins with a new word! (countdown to week 2 is here

I think people might be just showing which books they have to fit each letter? Not sure... anyway...just focus on the books you read and if it fits and how it fits. You don't have to represent every single letter, you just want to show once you finish a book if/how it fits any of the letters and then the captain will arrange our submissions however she sees fit to benefit the team. If we (the team, not the players) spell out LICORICE one full time, we can try to spell it again, so if you read 3 books that fit, captain might use one for the first spelling, then two for another, etc.

Hey Joi, I personally just wanted to have a tracking post with books that I may read and how they fit. It helps me to know beforehand where they could fit, plus if I see a letter that we haven't got yet I can see if one of my books will fit that letter. (Very visual person here).

Hello Team Jade!

How is everyone getting along on their reading? I am ready to add some books in! ;) Let's see how many of us can get a book read today...no pressure if you don't...we have a week to get the word done! :D

~ Happy Reading ~

Thank you, I understand now. Thank you for being so helpful.!

How's everyone's reading going? What are you all reading? Are you enjoying it?

I finished my first book.

Book:Last Light

Letter: L -Last (Title)
Letter: C -Chris (Character)
Letter: L- Light (Title)
Letter: E-Eloise (Character)

Awesome! I am going to wait a little bit and then I will add it to the tracking spreadsheet. :)

I will update the other spreadsheet at the end of the day. :)

Woohoo! I just finished 2 books (one on audio and one on my kindle).

Revolution 3/22/15
R - Title
L - Louis (character)
O - Duke of Orleans

Eat, Drink, And Be Buried 3/22/15
C - Cecily Sinclair
E - title

I love loved and the audio was really awesome.

Great, I will note that!

This warm weather is making me so happy! I get to sit on my back patio and read for the first time in so many months.

I wasn't sure I'd really like it, but it was recommended to me and I'm glad I grabbed it. If you like HF you will really like it. It's such an interesting mix of HF and current times. The two characters are awesome.

We got a lot done on the first day, now we need to find some i's.

I am going to start 2 books today that could both work for I.

I have one that I am working on as well...It could be used for C. don't forget # of pages count too. Book covers that are at least 50% black...

Okay, I think I found some for I, I can't really remember.

What's everyone reading this lovely Sunday?

A Cold Day In Paradise by Steve Hamilton. I will get this finished in a few hours, as long as I don't have any interruptions. ;) Mainly of the fur and four-legged kind.

I finished a book today.

Sensual Ghosts by Alexandra Amalova

Will fit for:

R for character Ronny, Ruby, Rose and Rita
L for Laura


Not sure what else I will be picking up to read.

Forget this book. Not long enough.

Stormie What pets do you have? I have a dog (beagle/basset mix) and an orange tabby. I also have my son's dog with me right now. Everytime I move he jumps up to see what I am doing.

I'm currently reading a couple of books but I don't know which one I'll finish first, or when. I'm reading:

(not sure this fits our word, though so it may not matter when I finish)

I have two pug boys, and my roommate has two chihuahua girls,and two cats...girls. I am the only one here now and they are glued to me. ;)

Just a reminder...please put number of pages...you get points for those as well books have to be at least 160 pages. :)

I have now finished my book. It took most of the day and a lot of interruptions. A Cold Day In Paradise by Steve Hamilton

C- for title, Cold
R - Character Roy, Rose
book has 277 pages although GR has 288 pages...but still in the page range.
The cover on my book does look mostly black, but the cover on GR doesn't so I am not going to use that.

Rebecca,

Which was audio and which was kindle? Also for audio did the narrator's name fit any of the letters?

Revolution was on audio (GR most popular edition has 472 pages). Thanks for reminding me about the narrator! Yes it does fit:

E, C - Emily Janice Card (narractor)


Eat, Drink, And Be Buried was on kindle (208 pages).

RebeccaS, thanks for that information. I will add it in when I get back home this morning.


Team Jade,

I want to make sure everyone gets all of their points and our team as well.

If you see something on the spreadsheets that is incorrect or something I missed please bring it to my attention.

I do have a couple of appointments today, but will be checking in between them both and then when I get home from the last one. So if anyone has a work posted, I will get it updated then.

Saturdays are important as far the tallies go...6PM my time is Noon/Sunday Australian time, so I figure if I keep a running tally, then I won't be behind in getting the weekly final updates in. :)

Hope everyone has an enjoyable reading day! I would like to see some books read and that I can add to our spreadsheets! :) But no pressure, we still have the rest of the week.

~ Happy Reading ~

Hey guys! So if a book doesn't count title wise you can use characters? Is there a limit to the amount of characters (and I'm assuming they'd have to be main characters)

Yep you can use characters. I don't think there's any limit on characters. You can also use the authors first and/or last name.

Alyssa wrote: "Hey guys! So if a book doesn't count title wise you can use characters? Is there a limit to the amount of characters (and I'm assuming they'd have to be main characters)"

You can use title, author's first or last name, series or any character (first, last name or nickname if it's used often) that show up in the book (it has to actually be part of the book not just someone talking about him)

Hello Team Jade!

How are things going with the reading? I had a busy day today, and got some reading done while waiting a little over an hour to see the doctor.

Is anyone working on a 500+ page book? I do have a few that I am working on in addition to reading other books that are not quite so large. ;)

~ Happy Reading ~

I haven't started anything since finishing my book this morning but when I get into bed I'm starting one that will work for O, at least.

After I had finished my last book, I started on Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick.

392 pages


Character: Calvin - C
Character: Ian - I
cover is over 50% black

Hello Team Jade,

I know I am up just after midnight my time, but I had a book that I just could not put down. I finished the book a few minutes after midnight, so I just put it on for Wednesday. We just need an O to complete the round once. :)

~ Happy Reading ~

Hey Stormie! I'll be starting a book that's 502 pages today and should have it finished this week!

I'm about 1/3 of the way through game of thrones, and that has a lot of characters I can use (about 700 pages)

Just finished Glory in Death (320 pgs) ! 3/24/15

I - "In Death" (Series)
E - Eve (character)

I don't think you can use this one for the title for letter I. I believe it has to be the first word in the title to count. But at least it fits other places and gets the cover bonus! But, I see you used it for character name, so it works for I anyway. Just wanted to make sure the title option is clear to everyone.

Yeah, I realized that this morning and was getting ready to fix it. I am going to look at the sheets now to see what I did there. I think I put it on the tracking sheet, but not the sheet that counts. ;)

Finished two books.
