Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR THE POSTING OF READ BOOKS BY TEAM MEMBERS IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE CAPTAINS

Team Hades, here we will post our read books with all the information we can gather to help match them with the future goals.

To make it easier to track let's follow the one new message per book read. If you finish two or more books in a short period of time (less than a day) it's ok to post all of them in a single message. But please, don't wait too long to post the information, specially if your book works for a goal.

A classic template for post from a read book is:

COMPLETION POST

Book: Book cover, link & Author
Series: name and number if part of a series
Page Count:
Date Read:
Main Genres:
BOM: (link or name for the message in the BOM discussion, and day of the DQ - if any)

Rating:

Any other Details: (if it doesn't meet any current goals) - Characters, pet names, chpts, any other details you want us to remember for later goals


The first block is the most important information that we need, any other thing that you can find to fill the second block of data will be great, but we know that it isn't easy to find all of this for every book.
