Sherri’s comments from the Around the Year in 52 Books group.

Sounds good Ellie. I will use it for a long book when I get back to the ship.

Shiver Me Timbers. I finished Legendborn (Legendborn #1) by Tracy Deonn. I loved this book. There are a few options here. Unfortunately it's not a stand alone book. I can use it for schooners. Foremast, fast- paced or Foresail, first letter of title is in Davy Jones Locker. If I use it here we will only have one prompt left for a schooner. The other choice is Galleons. Hull, long book 500+ pages. It is 506. Or Foresail, fantastical creature. If I use it here there will be 2 prompts left for Galleons. Let me know where it will do the most good. I have pulled into port for supplies so will check back later.

Sunday 187 pages

Ships Ahoy, I read 187 pages today. I should be able to finish Legendborn tomorrow. I'm really enjoying this book. Will be sad to finish it.

Ahoy, Me Hearties. We have been busy earning 2 rowboats since I dropped anchor last night. I got an early start on the water but had a few diversions. I'm back on track & finished The Third Man by Graham Greene. I used it for Galleons foremast. A book with a thief. It's all hands on deck for my next book Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. This is in progress with 257 pages left to read. Smooth sailing everyone

1. What are your goals for the week? To finish 3 books. I might be able to finish 4. I’m off to a good start.
2. Are there any books your dying to start or finish? I started Legendborn (Legendborn #1) by Tracy Deonn earlier in the week. It’s perfect for the individual challenge spot 4: A book featuring a character with a secret. I put the book down & will pick it back up after I finish the first part of the challenge. I can’t wait to get back into that book. I have really enjoyed it.
3. Are you participating in team or individual challenge? Both challenges.

Good Evening Mateys. The waters were smoother for reading today than I thought they would be. I caught a strong wind this evening & completed 85 pages. I will pull into port tomorrow after reading 75 pages which is what I have left on The Third Man by Graham Greene. It works for a lot of different prompts but will use it for
Galleons foremast, a book featuring a thief. I didn't see on the pirates map (planning on the spreadsheet) anyone else had marked it. I'm dropping anchor for tonight & will set sail again at sunrise.

Good Morning fellow Caribbean Pirates, I have a swashbuckling adventure planned for today. Our first outdoor music festival since the pandemic. I can read until noon then will be gone till 6:00 pm. Luckily my first book is The Third Man by Graham Greene. It’s only 157 pages so will get as far as I can today & finish tomorrow. I’m so excited to be on board with such a great group of pirates. Good luck to everyone & let’s find lots of treasure.

Good Morning All, I have tried to put the last book I read on the Spring Reading Challenge spreadsheet. When I hit enter instead of staying in the column the text goes straight where you can't read or see it. Is anyone else having problems? What am I doing wrong? I use all the spreadsheets all the time without this happening.

Brooklyn, New York The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton

1961-2016 The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton

I have two books I recently finished & both were 5 stars.
The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton. I used it for a book related to "the end". It would also work for a book related to racism or race relations. Also it's perfect for a book with an ensemble cast.
Wayward Son (Simon Snow,#2) by Rainbow Rowell. I have been reading books with heavy topics lately so this book was mind candy. I really enjoyed it. A fun read. I read it in one day. I used it for a book with elements of magic. It is also perfect for a book with an ensemble cast & a book with a travel theme.

1. What are you reading for this category? The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Dawnie Walton
2. How does this relate to "the end"? The word final in the title. It's about a rock'n'Roll duo that was infamous in the 1970's but broke up. In 2016 there's talk of a reunion.
3. What is a book you'd recommend for this prompt?

1. What are you reading for this category? Wayward Son (Simon Snow #2) by Rainbow Rowell
2. Does the magic play a prominent role? Yes. It's a major theme. I don't know if you can call it fanfic of Harry Potter but I consider it fanfic from Harry Potter.
3. What book would you recommend to others who are looking for a bit more magic? The other books in this series. Carry On (Simon Snow #1) & Any Way the Wind Blows (Simon Snow #3).
