Team Ira!
Only about 4 hours left for you to mark your books as read for this week! Let’s complete those Bingo lines!

Don’t worry, everything will work out okay :)

@Ozana
You have 3 different versions of The Dragon Republic on your GR shelves, but I see only the Hardcover on TT shelf. I guess that's because of trying to add it on Mobile app!
If you deleted the others and just leave this one:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
That is Kindle version with the page count you stated. Then you can put the read dates and "shelves" with less confusion I think!

Hi Ozana!
We will put the Kindle version on the spreadsheet and tell the Mods that the version on your GR shelf will be changed later, as soon as you can.

Got it!

It gives me a warm fuzzy when people reread a beloved book on here. I almost never reread anything because my TBR is just so damn long, but there are several books that I should really make time to reread.

@Rebecca - can you add The Bookshop on the Corner to your TT shelf please? 😁

Hi Kerri,
I hope are still finishing the “Man” book! Besides that, maybe you should keep Doctor Sleep for next week... Indeed we are close to our max, plus it will work better for the spell-it-out anyway.

Those are some good finds, Allison! I have to do laundry today too, boo. But also some crafty stuff with my daughter, yay.

@M, I see what you mean! At first I thought you meant for this week and could not find anything, and then I checked the Envy boggle :)
We can leave it down at the bottom for now and just move it up to a letter as needed.

Also depending on whether my Abhorsen is a good fit for Succession, it should not be too hard to find something else for Power.
Right now it looks like Suzanne’s “money” book may be the only odd man out. We can make a case for moving that to POWER. The power of time travel?

ETA: Wait, no "MONEY" can't be moved.
*sigh*

NICE. Are you still finishing The Chestnut Man as well?

I just saw those 2 comments and was like WHUUUT?
And then I realized it’s because we cross-posted again, on my last comments before that. Lol.

Go for it Kerri!

If we use Ozana's The Dragon Republic for "PRETTY", we are back to needing only STEAK to complete a vertical line, or SUCCESSION to complete a horizontal line *and* and also a vertical line to boot, if we move Wilder Girls to BOAT instead of Sin Bingo.

So if there's anyone out there who finds themselves wanting to pick up one more short book this weekend and all the other stuff on the spreadsheet will for sure be completed, then SUCCESSION is the best choice, with STEAK as second best choice.

(That being said, you could also just start loooooong books for next week. Just sayin'. We have OPTIONS! ;D)

tuxedo,talented,hoard,palace,succession,tiaras,pearl,champagne...ect.
Do you need something more than artist for that book or do yo..."

I think we will leave this book on "Artist" because it is a good CORNER of the Bingo board :D

Ozana wrote: "Did anyone read ? Is it good?

I have not read it, but I wasn’t impressed with the author’s previous book so I am not a good source for opinions on it. ;)
If you really want to read it, you should!

Ozana wrote: "I will, I''ll finish it. I am at half of the book and I have time, at my time until Sunday morning. That is 2 days. Count me on Jessi."

That is the one that has “palace” and “pretty”, if I remember correctly from when I searched the Amazon sample. :)

I am back online intermittently for the rest of the evening... FWIW.😂

If we move JET book to BOAT, then someone could do SUCCESSION to complete a line? And OYSTER, in case Ozana's "palace" book turns up?

IDK. Brain hurts.

Offline now... JESSI CAN U RESCUE US MEBBE? :D

The problem is JET is on the same lines as TIARA, GOWN, and TRUFFLES.
We could move it to BOAT is someone else does OYSTER and PALACE (and I leave my Butler book in place).
I moved BUTLER but I will move it back...

Ozana says she might also have another book coming at the last minute that fills PALACE / PRETTY.

Argh, this is hard, and also I have to go now and will be offline for a few hours!!

If we can move Joanne's JET book to TUXEDO, no one else needs to read for it.
The issue is that between Allison and Rebecca, we would need one STEAK. Other person's book would not fill anything.
Either that, or we leave JET where it is, then I'd have to leave BUTLER too and we'd need CROWN and TIARA.

There's just not enough readers left to get enough full-extra line-completions in here...
