MN Lisa’s Comments (group member since Jul 20, 2023)

MN Lisa’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

I was thinking of that, but could be talked in to reading early.

I am #11 on the list for James.

#7 for Slow Horses (says about 14 weeks for me, so I wouldn't wait for me on that one).

and i'll pick up Legend of the White Snake this week from the library.

I try. :)

I meant Book of Magic, Jackie, but we can put Practical Magic into our growing BR possibility pile. I'm pretty sure we have ..."

There is a tab on our Quill Questers spreadsheet for BR possibilities

I think you can only use the country once for the points though.

• Week 3 (March 19-25): Books Set in Different Countries 🌍
Travel the world through literature! Read stories set in diverse locations, immersing yourself in different cultures and perspectives. Choose books set in countries different from your own. Each book should represent a unique country.

I'd be in for Tallowwood next month.

Done. Your turn.

Ok. For planning purposes....Would the following work for the theme bonus of friendship?
Legend of the White Snake
Police Brutality

If so, I can pick 5 to read during that week and just hope they work for Vampire and Spell that week.

Ok. Now I know we aren't trying to be super competitive, but we are currently in 1st place by 200 points with only one book to go, however Page Pioneers have 9 books left to read.

I'm not saying we have to do anything, but I'm gonna try and write reviews for the ones I haven't. :)

I will probably only care the first two months and the last one, so....I have a feeling we will consistently be not last.

Whoops. Saw they already existed. Updated my BR Request

I have a few to request for Quill Questers for Book Quest Adventure too. These are for February for our team.

Haydn - Lisa and Janine
Leo - Lisa and Janine
Trusting Tanner - Lisa and Janine
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand - Amanda and Jackie

Kirsten, I didn't see Karaoke Queen (with Jackie and Amanda) or Breathe (with Amanda) in your BR request, so I added it to mine where I requested the rest.

I requested all of the other BR Threads, including the one for Amanda and Jackie.

I'm in. Tracking in spreadsheet.

Solar System is a year.

They've tried to get me to go for the last few years, but its always on weekends we have plans. Maybe in June if they participate in that one.

My friend Bill is playing the piano and his wife is in the choir for a local opera this weekend. They've been practicing for months. Bummed I can't go see them.

I just selected Legend of the White Snake for Book Quest and that is Asian Characters and Location. I had selected "Where a “match” of some sort takes place between 2 to 6 characters" for Table Tennis Singles, if you wanted to take that instead of the cover items....You could put Leo there, like I did.

I didn't think I could, but my Library has it available now in hardcover.

Could Legend of the White Snake work for first love? If so, I could read that one too, maybe,

I need a book in Feb that has a staff or serpents on the cover...a snake works for that right?

Done. Your turn.

Orientation is our Feb Team Read.

Slow Horses and The Long Call are waiting until March

Karaoke Queen - Kirsten, Amanda, Jackie
Vicious - Kirsten, Amanda, Jackie

Haydn - Lisa, Janine
Leo - Lisa, Janine
Trusting Tanner - Lisa, Janine

Breathe - Kirsten and Amanda

Legend of the White Snake - Kirsten, Amanda, Lisa

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand - Jackie and Amanda

I have almost all of my books filled out on the spreadsheet.

I think that's where we are at...
