Welcome Michelle! And yay, more books!! 😄

Y'all, not sure what happened to my GR notifications today. Hoping it's better tomorrow because I've literally seen nothing all day.

Beth, thanks for catching our turn, and for grabbing a book for our turn! 💖

Holy cow, good spin, Beth!! 🤑

No worries, I have my HOUSE book ready when perspective is done. :)

It will probably be our turn again today. I'm at an event till the evening, so probably won't be on to do the turn, but if I have a break and see it needs doing, I'll do what I can. 💖

We can use banked books? I haven't been banking. 😱

Hugs, Char, I'm right there with you.

I think my current book would work for destruction, since that is broad. It's just unclear from a book synopsis if destruction is included lol. In this book, a family is destroyed due to murder. Screwy book so far, but great hooks and keeps going so far!

I'm guessing there's a cozy mystery set in Louisiana or Cuba that might have VOODOO... I just don't know of any. The Cajun Louisiana series I read I don't recall any voodoo in, so it would have been a passing reference only if any. I don't do well with witchy books, but as long as it's not gory, I don't mind zombies.

Oh boy, these are hard tasks... I honestly have no idea what books to use. I have some Fantasy that maybe will work somewhere... Probably destruction or banishment though, unless somewhere in the Disney anthology there's a Tiana spinoff for VOODOO lol.

Wow, it got back to us fast this time! 😁

Yep, that's the beauty of getting the books logged, so we have some (research) options. 😁 I'd finished off a series that centered around bookish retreats, and usually writers were present, so I was pretty sure some of those books hadn't been used yet since they were short.

Our turn has come and gone again. We landed on William Shakespeare, so we had to pay rent. I used a shorter book from our logged stash.

I would say that's very valid paranoia. Hopefully Microsoft has fixed that, but I don't take the chance. My paranoia is off the charts lol. I work with tens of thousands of rows regularly, so yeah, I just can't. I will legit sort, then unsort and resort to make sure I see my columns all change.

I finished and checked us in. Next spin is 2.

Hi Ashley, oh whew, that's good! You have no idea how many spreadsheets I've coastered in Excel and had to start over. And calls from coworkers being like "this doesn't make sense". Yeah, the paranoia is real lol.

Got an access request on our book log, so assuming that is Mrsgeo; welcome!

Ashley, be careful about highlighting a single column. Maybe Excel has gotten better, but historically it hasn't expanded the selection to reorder all columns when only one is selected. I've never tried that with Google Sheets so not sure how that works for it.
