Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

Sorry if the message was confusing 🫤"
No worries, so do I just add books to list? Have two that will be done today and

Yep, just add them to the tracking sheet on the Round 2 tab.

They'll probably fit in the genre portion of the Round 2 mini (shelter tab).

Just add whatever code from the shelter tab (column A) for the line you need in column H on the Round 2 tab. The Shelter tab will auto-populate everything but the dropdown.

We can have up to 3 of each genre (tabulated off to the side).

And no worries if they don't fit in the mini, we'll still get page points :)

Stacie, I flipped your Thieves Gambit to YA instead of Crime. We seem to have a lot more mystery/thriller/crime readers than YA.

Logan, I moved Secret Lives of Country Gentleman to historical fiction. The 1st in series spot seemed easier to fill

And I moved my #3 in series from part 2 to part 1 Science Fiction if someone wants to grab a #3 in series spot.

I'm leaving town tomorrow for the 4th of july break. Will be back on Sunday the 7th. Unfortunately, I can't access the spreadsheet while I'm gone, so will update everything when I'm back. :)

Have a wonderful trip and holiday!

I am not sure how to categorize this one . I filled in spreadsheet but not clear on where it really fits.

Enemies to lovers
fake girlfriend
Grumpy man
There is a cat Smoosh who goes on attack mode and shreds MC suits.

Hmm. The letters for HOUSE are in title so how about shelter?

Can 1984 be added for me please, thank you!

Can The Familiar be read and questions answered anytime this month?
Obviously if later in the month it would be for Round 3 rather than Round 2...

Yes, the book and questions just need to be done by Aug 2nd

Sure thing!

Mary,

Killers of a Certain Age is showing as still being on your Currently Reading shelf. Could you make it as read and add it to your challenge shelf?

Thank you!

Great, thanks!

Works for me

All fixed. Thank you for keeping me on track!

I just read this one Things My Son Needs to Know About the World

It's a non-fiction but I'm not sure it fits the Shelter requirements. Says it needs to be about survival. He is kind of giving his son advise on how to survive life but not related to nature at all.

Thoughts from the Caps?

The only thing that matters is the genres, the blurb underneath is just why Karen picked those genres.

We may already have 3 nonfiction, if we do you can take the spot where I have White Trash. I can read it later

We only had 2 nonfictions so I took the last spot, no need for you to bump your book. Thanks for the help!

Is there a type of book I should be looking for to help?

Looks like we only have 1 for literary fiction. Might be a good place to start?

Or a book for the door, we still need 2 more of those. I finished 1 today and picked the other one up from the library tomorrow.

I will tackle door

Melanie, I removed Midnight Sacrifice from the mini because it was finished before July 1st.

Current unclaimed mini tasks

Part 1 - need one of each
-science fiction
-historical fiction
-thriller
-contemporary
-crime
-horror

Part 2

We are doing great everyone!

And no worries if you can't find a spot for a book on the mini. I may be able to shift some things around and get it to fit

Woops, sorry about that. Totally forgot about the date on that one.

Greetings, District 8!

I'm visiting from District 2 to check about a book. Judith - are you fairly certain you'll be reading A Wing and a Prayer: The Race to Save Our Vanishing Birds? I'm thinking of 'stealing' it for our Door....

I'm definitely going to read it Truitt! I'll cross post in D2

I'm out of town and can't access the spreadsheet but I finished a Wild Robot and have started Percy Jackson. They are both #1 in a series if that's helpful. I can't remember if I already added them or not.

I have a door I am doing.

For Ninth Circle it does spell trench but not sure where to put it, contemporary romance and a vengeful MC

you added wild robot so i can update your read date :)

Krissy,

Can you add The Annual Migration of Clouds to your challenge shelf when you get a chance?

Thank you!

Cordelia, FYI I went ahead and added Other Birds to the spreadsheet since I saw it on your challenge shelf.

Emily,

Can you add Ninth Circle to your challenge shelf when you get a chance?

Thanks!

Also, you have my favorite reason of the challenge for weapon. haha!

I can do 1st in series but what do I put for the mini ref?

It looks like Krissy grabbed the 1st in series.

I shifted a book to mystery and Julie and the wolves can fill a YA genre spot in Part 1.

lol I agree with Judith, Emily. Best weapon so far!

I've got a 6 hour audiobook for #8 I can knock out this weekend. Working on my #6 now and it's a short one so I'll finish it probably today.

I can read a #7 in a series if someone else wants a fantasy book and can take my spot for that one.

We also still need one more YA and a horror book.

I took my YA off because I'm not in the mood but I'll see if I have something to replace it with that's fluffy.

I’ll take fantasy! I’m about to finish the midnight bargain by cl Polk. Can’t currently add anything to the spreadsheet

Emily’s book Lyon something (I can’t quite remember) is a first in series and one of our first in series works for horror.

I was going to make the swap after my tiny tyrant goes to bed

I finished the midnight bargain!

Lyons Crew

Reading a #2 but almost done with Man Hunt as well

Alright I think I have things moved around to where they need to be. What's left unclaimed on the mini

Part 1
-One YA book (Stacie might have this covered, if not I can)

Part 2
-One #7 book (I think Lexi is taking this as Cordelia took the fantasy spot from Lexi)
-One Door book

I'll listen to a book for each one left just in case someone doesn’t get their book read. I'll also pick out a door book now.
