You should be able to edit the planning sheet but not the official sheet. Here is the link for the planning sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Not sure what I will start with but will likely be a combination of the BOM and one of these:

Also, a pretty high chance I decided I’m not in the mood for any of them and I pick something else. Though having library books expiring is motivation to read sooner.

I've listed to the audiobooks of the prequel and the first book and really enjoyed them. I keep meaning to get the next book but there is always a wait for the audiobook at my library so I haven't yet. Somehow my holds always seem to be maxed out and I only get 6 of them.

I read The Rain Wild Chronicles Series, The Farseer Trilogy, and Fitz and the Fool.

I did not read them in order (I did read each series in order, but not in order of the story. I read parts of Fitz and the Fool before The Farseer Trilogy.), but I don't think that is completely necessary you'll know more but the world is pretty amazing even if you don't have all the back story.

I’ll be back up DQs for team qulit.

They are really poorly written and questionably worth reading but the conversation normally has my laughing every time I check the thread.

The Dangerous Harem recently came up on my suggested list on kindle unlimited and I thought nope, unless it is a backroom book. Off to sign up for DQs because I'm sure there will be some really pressing questions that need to be asked like how did 8 feet become 20+ feet in less than a paragraph. I am way way to happy about this.

Hello, I'm Annalisa and I'm from the mountains of North Carolina. This will be my 5th time participating in TT. I love reading challenges.

I will read a little bit of everything but horror. I do tend to mostly read fantasy, science fiction, and romance, or all three combined. (Yes, please.) I'm very much a mood reader but I'm looking forward to reading some longer books maybe Brandon Sanderson, Ken Follett, or Robin Hobb.

Here is my TT shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I finished two books from 2017 list today. which I really enjoyed though it was a bit on the longer side. And which was odd in a way that just never quite worked completely for me. I liked it but I didn't love it. I think maybe the author just isn't to my liking.

I made a discovery that a book I read didn't end up on my read list and thus I actually made it to my goal of 30 books from the list! That was a pleasant discovery.

I only added 53 books to my TBR in 2022 so I'd say that is progress. I don't think it actually grew as I'm pretty sure it was right around 900 at the start of the year and it is at 907 now.

I was so close to making it. I have a long drive and the last book is not a fast read. 29 out of 30 isn’t bad though.

Finished number 29 2 stars
So many people have recommended this book and I was hoping that it was good. However, it just didn't work for me.

Thank you team and captains. This was a fun one.

Happy holidays!

Can I say I was really hoping we wouldn't get teal as a colour as I find it really difficult to work out if covers are teal or green..."

Looks very blue to me.

just want to check that this is teal. I feel like it is but it is darker than most others I’ve seen.
