I know we have two weeks to read per category, but any idea when we get the next category to start planning for the next word?

Doesn't the challenge start on Saturday the 9th? I'm super excited to get started.

I added my planned books. If we can use the book title I should have one full spell of "Baby Powder". I also only added the letters that were in the selection and did not include letters that could not help make the word.

If we've already planned books, do you want us to add them now or wait until they have been read? You could add a column for read so that it might help find letters we need...based on what people plan to read? (PS I love spreadsheets).

Is there a place to ask questions or does someone know the following? What if a character has a name, but also a nickname. For example, the book I'm reading now his official name is Tarquin, but everyone calls him Quin. Would that qualify for both T and Q or just Q? (the Tarquin is mentioned multiple times, but Quin is used 95% of the time).

I looked at my books and I could probably read 10 and have a whole word picked out. Not sure if you wanted me to do that or just list them. I have a bunch of books for W and O for this call and have even saved a few Zs

Hi I'm Lisa and I live in Minnesota, so Central Time zone for me. I read about a book a day, depending on the length of the book, so I signed up for 20 books a month. That gives me some room for other challenges that I do.

I've never done Wheel-a-thon before, but did a similar challenge in a different group (Spell).

I do have a job that I love, but with my daughter in England for a semester, i have more free time than I did before. Housework on the other hand I just don't do so I can escape into my books.

Let me know if you have any questions on the spreadsheet. You should be able to message me about it if you want to. I have a lot of info in there. Most would probably only need the TBR and Read. I keep track of my Read books there because Goodreads often times loses the books I have read. Like now it says I've read 384 this year, but I'm really at 431. not sure where those books went, but I know I've read everything in my spreadsheet.

Here is a link to my spreadsheet. I'm a bit obsessive about tracking what I read and what is planned. I think its a work of art, but its a lot to take in. I added Job, Location and Trope so I can update lists as needed.

All you need to do now is wait patiently & maybe list out tricky letter books you want to read!"

I hate waiting patiently. I track my TBR list in a google sheet document and have the first and last name of both MCs already listed so I can sort by name and find the letters.

Any idea when teams are assigned? I know the first round doesn't start until the 9th, but wondering if I need to do something while we wait....

What goes on the bookshelf? The ones we are planning to read or the ones we have actually read?

New to this group, but not really new to group challenges. I just finished a scavenger hunt one in another group and started a task based on in a different group.

I've done a spell challenge, which seems similar, so I think I'd be ok....
