C’s comments from the Hooked on Books group.

And I still want you to have some book slots in reserve for the rest of the month. :)

Fi, just checking which book you're working on next? And is that completing more like Wednesday since we threw in the event book last week and got you off schedule a bit?

(I'm totally fine with you being unfair lol. ;) ) But that would be a lot of spreadsheet maintenance. :D

The books used for Roulette can be doubled up with regular events, right? I know they didn't have to be this event, but they can be?

Also, I put 10 blank rows into the spreadsheet. I can add more lol, since I know Richard might have that all on this own. :)

My only thought is Richard, make sure you count your books used for this month and make sure you aren't near the cap, since we should get one or two new prompts this month. I think you're at 12 (with just the one Roulette book included), but be sure to keep that in mind please! :)

Oh, I think it's okay to double them up since this was an event, and we had to with the last event, but didn't have to this time. I just posted my additional books, but will ask Ashley.

As we're allowed to submit additional books for the Roulette event, started and completed within the designated time period:

Y'all, Ashley didn't specify one book per the Roulette event, so she is taking multiples. I'll make the spreadsheet tab back available if any other books completed in the time period work for you! I'm checking mine over soon.

*squirrels back through my week to see if any other books work*

My book finished after turn-in yesterday works, and my current book works too, so we're doing well on this one! :)

Like Alcoholics Anonymous, except for people who get too many books. ;)

I would join Bookdragons Anonymous if I felt any regrets lol!!!

I may or may not have gotten too many books from the library again lol! So I have to read them! 🤣

Nice! I'm somehow averaging a book a day so far this month. No idea how lol, but there are months like that. That's gonna blow up next week since I'm traveling though. :( And I'm not reading big books... :(

Wow, that's a lot of books lol! If I have a lot of time to read, I can get one maybe two books a day, but that's a stretch. And they have to be short. I'm sure with all those books happening, there will be a word that will work. :) My current book I can probably find a searchable ebook, but my next one, nah, I'm gonna have to recognize the word. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hehe, yeah, I've been churning through books as well. I probably won't be doing much tomorrow, but I'm still hoping to get through at least one hopefully two before Monday...
