Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Hi Megan! So glad to hear from you!

Only 2 days left!

We have 3 How to Sell a Haunted House listed with three different page numbers :)

It looks like we all have the hardcover one linked. That one's page count is 419. Please either change the page count or the edition you are reading on the tracking sheet. If you are reading a different edition with a different page count, be sure to put that edition on your wheels shelf.

Let me know if you have questions!

To clarify, because it's the BOM, we must use the page count listed on the BOM thread, but please link the edition you actually read on the spreadsheet.

Ah ha!
Love the detail :)

I’ve updated my entries in the spreadsheet. Sometimes GR doesn’t end up using the kindle edition even when I read on kindle, so I will be sure to update accordingly when it logs the book.

GR is always doing too much!!

Hi there, Team! Just wanted to let y’all know I’m leaving for Vegas tomorrow & will be there till the 13th. I may be quieter than usual, but I will be reading, especially while on the plane/at the airport. I will bring my iPad with me & will try to check in daily. I haven’t traveled anywhere since before the pandemic & I’m soooo excited!

Have a fantastic time Lauri!!!

About 2 hours to start!!

The games have begun!!

How is everyone's reading going?
I'm reading Fourth Uncle in the Mountain: The Remarkable Legacy of a Buddhist Itinerant Doctor in Vietnam and I swear I've read it before.... must have been before I joined Goodreads..... If an elephant shows up, I know I've read it...

:) Thanks
I updated my too - now knowing the BOM rule :)

I had a hectic day (terrible timing, of course) so I will be starting once I'm able to get in bed or when I wake up tomorrow! Sunday is my "do nothing but read day", so I plan to catch up then!

I am finishing up a book started before this challenge (which wont count obviously) and then plan to start reading for this challenge hopefully tomorrow :)

I love do nothing but read days!!

I finished my book today too soon hahah

Woot woot! Time for me to start reading for this challenge!

Yay! I started A God of Wrath & Lies last night, but didn't get very far. As soon as that is done, I'm starting Assistant to the Villain which I have been waiting to start, so excited!

I don't see any books on our sheet. Am I on the wrong one?

This is our Team Planning Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I think you might be looking at the Team Sheet that the captains update. I like to try and get enough books for a spell out before adding them to that sheet, so we can move things around a bit.

Also, a Team Heads Up! Don't panic if your books are moved around on the planning sheet. I usually move them up and down based on where I think they will fit in the word. Since we only get one incomplete spell out, I want to make sure we used EVERY book! :)

And one last thing before I trudge off to get ready for work.
Be on the look out for Z's and probably I's. Z is an uncommon letter, and I (for some reason) can be difficult to find (and we need 2 per spellout)!

Thanks Ashley, I figured i must have been in the wrong place, since i had seen books posted in this thread

Me... wishing I was back in bed reading...


Is everyone liking their books so far? I wasn't enjoying my first book A God of Wrath & Lies) until about halfway through! I think I'll finish it tonight and I'm guessing I'll be starting the next book ASAP!

I've had a lot of 3s lately, 1 5 star though

Oooh what was the 5 star?
I’m reading a Maggie O’Farrell book, and I just think she’s wonderful.

SAME! I finished the second Crescent City Mass book and I think it caused a (maas)ive book hangover. Nothing seems to be measuring up!

I’ve got some I’s and a Maas book to read as well (hopefully). It’s been a looong time since I read the first book, so I’m going to need to do some skimming to get my head back into it.

I LOVED but I love Asian Lore/Mythology

Good morning (to all the US teamies)! Do we HAVE to get out of bed?



Brittany, that books looks interesting! I seem to have a love-hate relationship with mythology-related books, yet I keep reading them. Go figure....

I like Mythology inspired books that get creative and can make a new vein in something old, but these retellings that just regurgitate a Wikipedia article with nothing new to contribute shouldn't be allowed to be published.

Today has been a super Monday to make up for a 3-day weekend.

Started reading my book and ive already found accordion! Is there a limit on bonus words we can use?

I'm going to be honest, I have not had a chance to search for any of the words yet. But I did get to enter in some of my books

If I remember correctly it looked like there was a limit listed on the tracking sheet right above that column

There is a limit of 10 books, but we aren't there yet, so please add it!

Brittany wrote: "I LOVED but I love Asian Lore/Mythology"

Nice. I'll give this a try.

Hi Lorna! :)

Good morning everyone!
Bookish question:
Do you have a favorite bookish beverage?

Ashley, when you get a chance, could you please add your books to your wheels shelf?
Thanks!

I read or listem about 60=-80% of my waking life, so I don't have a specific beverage. All beverages maybe?

Does coffee count?

Alright Team! We just need a Z and a T to complete our first spell-out. I am sure the T will show up quickly! But check for Z's!!

Just finished “The Unmaking of June Farrow!” Absolutely loved it and finished it much quicker than i was expecting!

My book can be used for the T

Awesome Shannon! :)

should finish my Z tonight

Ashley wrote: "Does coffee count?"

Most definitely.

Coffee in the morning, wine at night?

YES. Exactly!
