It's not really clear but I think it will work. I will ask to be certain.

Good luck with your exam Cristina!

@Jane: Have fun on your canoe trip :) I really miss doing that.

@ Agnès: No worries Agnès, I've found them all. You're doing great :)

Team, we finished our first spell-it-out, and we're half way through the second! Btw does anyone have an idea for a book with brown cover?

Agnès, I can't find those on your finished shelves, can you please shelf them?

R?

(I know what it is too :p)

Welcome Cristina! Yes, this week we're spelling out Maize :)

Finished by Seanan McGuire, 31/03, 368 pages
Character: Evening "Eve"

Currently re-reading my all time favourite series with The Three Musketeers.
Updated the official spreadsheet. We have 40 points for week 2 already. Doing great team!

I'm planning to read The Night Circus next. Hopefully I'll get to finish them all before the deadline, I really want to catch up on my reading, and make it up to you. Fortunately, it's a long weekend, since monday is a holiday. I'm off to update the spreadsheet.

Sorry to hear that Erin, my sincere condolences for your loss.

Good news, received permission to add Agnès' books :) We have 395 for week one, you will be able to see it on the team spreadsheet but not on the official weekly results thread.

Hey Team, this week we're going to spell Maize!

I'm planning to re-read Les Trois Mousquetaires by Alexandre Dumas. I checked my shelf and I can easily find books for letters M, A, and I. I think the letter Z will be the difficult one this round.

Edit: Also, here is the Countdown to Round 3 (included in post 4).

I will put them in the shelf right now. I hope it can still count."

No worries Agnès, I understand. I asked in the captain's group for a way to recuperate those points ;) *fingers crossed*

Team, the spreadsheets are updated. We currently have 375 points (without counting Agnès and my last book), we're ranked 10th of the 22 participating teams. I think that's great!

I will be online a couple of hours to give everyone time to eventually post some last minute books. Meanwhile I will try to finish my book too.

Also don't forget to change time tomorrow to summer time. For example 6am will be 7 am :)

We reported you as a missing person ;)"

I try to lurk as often as possible through the app on my phone but it's not really practical imo :) Sorry to cause some worries.

Agnès, like Elinaly said, could you please shelf these books on your Wheelathon shelf so I can use them for the spell-it-out. It won't count if it isn't put there.

Written in Red by Anne Bishop - 433 pages"

Glad you enjoyed it Erin! I have it on my tbr, looking forward to pick this one up. I only hear good things about it.

Hi Team! Sorry for being so quiet the last couple of days. I went shopping the whole day with my family today. I'm going to update everything now :)

This series covers are so cute and funny at the same time :)

Come now, they are pretty easy to find :p

LOL, send some of that to me please, I still have a lot to read in March."

Same here. My reading progress is going very slow. I'm still planning to finish my other book before the deadline though. There are some holidays coming in April, looking forward to that as I can catch up on my reading, the weather here is quite disappointing anyway.

@ Erin: I'm not complaining at all, keep it up! Maybe you're only reading good books lately ;)

Team, 5 letters away from a second Pink Flamingo! We're only a bit short on options with letter 'N'.

C?

Yes, indeed. I checked my shelves too and couldn't find a decent book with a clear pink cover. But luckily Elinaly got it covered already :)
Thanks Karen!

Lol at the Dutch words that got inserted in your comment Imke :p

Btw team, you're all doing a great job! I will update our official spreadsheet tomorrow, but we've got one pink flamingo down ;) Let's see how far we can go.

E?

Haven't tried Stieg Larsson yet. I'm currently working on the Grant County series by Karin Slaughter which is my first foray in the thriller genre (I'm usually more into historical mysteries). I like the series but sometimes I'm just tired of the unlikeable characters (especially Lena). Lol, Elinaly, I would read it just for the killer cake recipe :)

@Team: For anyone interested, here are the current team rankings: here (included in post 4). There are 22 teams in total. Our points aren't listed since I haven't updated the official spreadsheet, yet. We're doing great, almost finished with our first spell-it-out!
