Great!
We'll see if it fits any Bingo squares. If not, then we can use it for Blue cover. :D
ETA: I found "money" in it via Google Books search. There is also "coin" if we need to move it (@Joanne's "coin" book also has "Gown").

ETA2: your Read date on GR is 11/13. Did you finish it today or last night?

Joanne wrote: "So funny and unexpected. My current read has a dog named Ira in it!"

LOL

(and this weird GR notifications problem seems to be spreading -- anyone else having problems besides me and Jessi?)

Couple of things:

@wren:
Can you please fudge your read date on The Princess and the Fangirl to 11/11? We know you finished in your time zone on Sunday night but since it was after 11/11 AEST, that is how we keep the info clean.
Also, don’t forget you need to answer 2 more sets of DQs on The Chestnut Man BOM you started. :)

@everybody:
Only a couple more days left to do theWilder Girls BOM if there are any last-minute takers! Then the Two Can Keep a Secret BOM will be starting too.

Aw, hang in there Jessi!

I found "rich as Croesus" in like 3 different Kindle books too, but all of them were short things that I didn't want to commit to, lol.

IF I have time left before the end of Week 6, I plan to see what's left on the spreadsheet. I'm sure there will be only "gray" squares by then, because THIS TEAM IS DOING GREAT!

I have major nerd cred.

I put Written in Red for "Food" -- Did a search on Amazon sample and there are many food quotes in the book!

Also this:

Note the compilers :D :D :D

I think we can put it for "Power"
and I could maybe move Abhorsen to Succession.

The Abhorsens come into their power by succeeding each other, in a line of Succession. *At least as far as I know from the previous books* Has anyone read Abhorsen who can verify that Lirael becomes the Abhorsen or is still "in-waiting" at the end? There's not, like, some weird Buffy thing that results in no more line of Succession?

Could also do Success, if someone can verify that Lirael and Sameth etc. succeed in defeating the evil Necromancers by the end...
Does that work?

Thanks Suzanne! Would you like to take a crack at seeing if there's a good open Bingo place for it?

Sorry, x-posted with Jessi again!
If she says finish it, then do. ;D

Totally up to you, M! If it fits for Bingo and you feel like completing it, go for it. If you need to take a break and read something else, then that it fine too.
Or if you need to take a break from drinking. Or drink more? Whatever makes you happy. 😙

I am almost done with The Steel Seraglio and it has been SOOOOO GOOOOD so far! I am so worried that the end will be disappointing though! *nailbiting*

So, just to clarify (since I’m just now recovering from being sick & not really sure what’s actually going on at this point LOL) - but for the bingo words... ar..."

We are looking for whatever’s clever. Cover, title, theme, word... Some are kinda obvious, but we can get creative :)

I would ask you to let us know if there are any condoms in it... but I can already tell that there... will not be. :P

Hats off to you!
And to anyone else who is reading this who would not normally have been reading this, lol.

Jessi wrote: " is like a mirrored version of what my kindle edition has and the page count is 204 pgs not whatever the other one was listed as. I guess it doesn't matt..."

I added an alternate cover edition w/the current Amazon cover and the correct page count! So you can use the right one :D

Aw, Team Ira did not get picked for writing DQs on Two Can Keep a Secret.
But we are still leading the BOM category so I hope we can keep it up! :D

Jessi wrote: "@Alysa, did you see my message #1247? I don't know if it got lost or not."

Had not seen it, sorry!

Is that the cover version you have? That ASIN has a different edition on GR (w/page count that I just fixed), though it might just be an alternate:

Just so this is written down somewhere:
Using Frankie's book for "Woman" will dictate our 2nd level priority after finishing the "Bold Black" squares:

Gown, Truffles, Queen, Boat, Succession

Jessi wrote: "Hers could work for woman. It's not one we're focusing on but could still work there"

Oh yeah!
And it's not like we can't fill other squares besides our first goal.
Could even go for an extra straight line or two ;)
