Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

I’m reading the wishing game too. It reads quick and so far been a nice break from some of my heavier reads of late

I really enjoyed The Wishing Game. It turned out to be different than I expected but still thought it was a fun and sweet story.

Ere you guys were wondering what the long wait was, we were over in District One partying away and deciding how evil to be.

Erewhon is your new battle book. So, we weren't that evil. This time.

I can read An Honorable Seduction which is in KU but ION is a harder one to start with so I don't know if we want to go with that one.

I have The Honeys and also The Honey Witch.

Since we are trying to be nice to each other, the ending options from Stacie's and Melanie's books are:

ION - possible nicest as can split over words so I only, I once etc.
EYS - not nice as words don't seem to start with EYS
TCH - this one is mean too, unless you want to read about Tchaikovsky

Also, since we are not in a rush, does anyone who does not have a book yet for the battle, want to try this one? Lots of choices with Honorable/Honest or Honey. (Also honk and Honduras but a bit less common).

I realized after I posted it that they were both kinda mean and felt bad

Stacie wrote: "I'll make my books links in the morning when I sign on to work"

I was checking books so I added them, no problem

Just going to say that TCH isn't too bad and I have a book that works for it....which you would not hate us using. 😉 ION isn't bad either.

I can take a look and grab the next one, I don’t have one yet.

Still wrapping up Father’s Day activities and can look in a bit.

The next buddy read for Catching Fire has started here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Comments must be made by July 15.

Is it this one -

Do you want to know or be surprised??

My post should have said - "you would not hate us...."

Yes, it is that one. I just looked and there aren't as may options for Sky as I thought there would be!

Use whatever book you want and we will find something!!

I have Honour's Splendour on my tbr, so that's an option too

OUR is very easy and Cordelia, you don't have a battle book yet. Are you able to get a copy and read it in one week? If so, I will go ahead and log it.

Sky is very easy too if you'd rather go with Stacie's book.

Julie Garwood is an old favorite. Such brain candy

Yes, I just checked it out on Libby! I can get started now.

Cordelia wrote: "Yes, I just checked it out on Libby! I can get started now."

Don't start now! No battle books can be started before June 22nd. I will add a countdown later.

Oh that's right! Okay, I will not start now.

Are the Backroom BOMs the same as the regular ones? It's taking me longer than I thought it would to get The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen.

Do we still have until July 10th to post and do I just add it to the BOM sheet like the others?

I should be able to start it in a week or so (maybe sooner).

Yes, you also get a month for the backroom BOM to answer three sets of questions and finish the book.

Mary- I have an epub copy of Country Gentlemen that I could email you if you wanted to start sooner.

That's so nice of you to think of, thank you. I think I'll just wait it out at my library, I'm next in line for the audio book so it shouldn't be too much longer. I'll keep reading random stuff while I wait.

This round, District 1 has to call your dignity and class and raise with Our Finest Hour. District 8 is really great! We wanted to return yOUR class with a bit of OURs.

I have one on my shelves that works Our Daughter's Bones.

Melanie, NES is a good ending but since we are only up to Tuesday and most of the way through the battle planning. I am going to leave this open in case someone, especially Krissy, wants to volunteer a book since not everyone is on the computer as often

I can do Our Mutual Friend, which Sammy keeps telling everyone to read. It is a long one though so if Krissy pops in with one or if we want to go with Melanie's that's fine too

That's because it's fabulous. If you don't want to take my word for it, ask Mel 😉😁

I only have one that ends in RTS so I think anything is better than that lol

Sounds good. I'm on here most of the day (the perks of WFH) so I end up seeing these pretty quickly.

I'm here! I'll take the OUR. Thank you for thinking of me 😊 Let me look for a bit. Brb

Sorry I've been offline most of the time for the last few days with a nasty stomach bug. Didn't do a ton of reading either...blurg.... but hopefully am feeling well enough now to get back online more regularly.

I am glad you are starting to feel better!

Fell better, Tricia!!

I hope you continue to fell better, Tricia

Krissy, have you a book you plan to read?

Yes sorry! I was working in the middle of BFE so I kept losing reception ☹️☹️

Here are my options:
●Our Pup
●Our Boy
●Our Dom
●Ours to Love
●Our Man in Havana
●Our Missing Hearts
●Our Daughter's Bones
●Our Husband

Sorry about the dodgy reception, that's always annoying to deal with.

Captains conferred a bit and like Our Boy would be a great choice to send to D1.

Remember not to start it until June 22nd and have it read by June 29 :)

Judith wrote: "Remember not to start it until June 22nd and have it read by June 29 :)"

Yup 🙂🙂

I'm still open and willing to read a book for the battle, so hopefully I can find a match to the next title they send us. :)

For the next two, you and Judith get first choice to claim the book as neither of you have a battle book yet

Sorry I just saw this! They've been awesome, I actually lucked up and they've been coming in pretty steady at mine for me. I finished the fourth one over the weekend, and I need to start number 5 now. lol

Can someone add Playing it Safe for me? Thanks!

Cordelia wrote: "Can someone add Playing it Safe for me? Thanks!"

I got you!

Glad you are enjoying all the BOYs in the Thirst Games! We're sharing the The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, because we needed a little breeze with the swimsuit round and though you might as well! (Okay that's a little lame!! HA!)

Oh! I actually have a book for this. I have An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States for Young People on my tbr and I have a copy already. So unless Judith really wants it, I would love to take this one.

You can take it! I’ll do the last book

Tricia wrote: "Oh! I actually have a book for this. I have An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States for Young People on my tbr and I have a copy already. So unless Judith really wants it, I would love ..."

I added it to the spreadsheet and sent it back to the other team. Please feel free to change the page number to the version you are reading.

I'm really excited for the battle lol

Your last book for Battle One!!!!
I hope it give you all a ton of Pleasure. Or that a ton of rocks fall on your heads. I keep forgetting that we are supposed to be battling each other, and I was trying the rude thing. Not sure I like it.

Anyway, here you go-
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman

Turns out the series is a big hit for this team. I can't wait to finish them!
