I don't think we need anything specific for Jackanory. It is just going to take longer to build this out that I thought.

Hi Team,

I just updated all of our finished books for the last couple days onto the SS. We have completely finished the tasks and we only have two books left to finish Bingo.

Diana and Jade how are your books coming for bingo?
Fierce Cowboy Wolf - Jade (D4 - Sir Pterry's hat)
Creativity in Mathematics - Diana Costa (F8 - Blackboard being erased)

I'm going to work on getting Jackanory completed this evening and tomorrow.

This coming week is our last week of the challenge. Time has flown. I can't believe it has been almost three months. That being said please have your completion posts for all of your completed books posted by the end of the day on the 31st. so that we can get the SS updated. I hope you all have a great last week of reading in TT!

Thank you. It has been a crazy month. I can't believe it is almost finished.

@Erin can you please add Sing Me Forgotten and One Last Stop to your uno shelf. Thank you

Hi M, you don’t need to highlight them. We can get it. I hope the fires are calming down and it’s cooled off for you.

Hi Navi, Jade is right. If they are highlighted in yellow it just means they they are not assigned a task and can be used for Jackanory. Apoorv has a separate tab for book details and you can add info there. When I last checked we need around 27 more books to complete Jackanory. That was last weekend though so I’m sure we are getting close.

I have a lot more time on the weekend to work on the spreadsheet so hopefully Apoorv and I can get a story well underway if not finished.

You have until July 16th to answer the questions.

There is another backroom BOM this month if anyone is interested. Pumpkin Spiced Omega - Pretty sure the discussion will be better than book. It starts tomorrow, July 12 if you want to join.

@Erin Just a reminder to post your message numbers for the BOM - Firekeeper's Daughter so we get the extra points.

Hi Navi, Thanks for letting us know. I think most of the bingo and tasks books are completed or claimed, so that takes some of the pressure off.

I feel you on the Terry Pratchett books. I've only read two of his books I've enjoyed. The rest were big misses for me. I hope you enjoy the books you do read.

We still have to complete Jackanory (min 27 books if we use every single book that isn't on bingo or a task now) and if you want to add you all books and say how it fits there please feel free to do that. I promise I will make a story from what you all come up with even it it is crazy.

Thank you, Jade and Ekaterina.

I would like to check in with everyone on the books you have committed to. Please let me know if you will be able to finish your books or if you need someone else to cover them Ekaterina, Diana, Jade, Lauri, and Navi. Thanks.

Bingo:
Soul Music - Ekaterina (C4 - "anthill inside")
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Diana Costa ( D1 - sheep) - just claimed
Fierce Cowboy Wolf - Jade (D4 - Sir Pterry's hat)
Creativity in Mathematics - Diana Costa (F8 - Blackboard being erased)

Tasks:
8. Sun on Cover: The Light of All that Falls - Navi
25. Spell out EIGHT - E: Edison - Navi
60. Sausage on the cover: Jade
70. MPG Holiday: In a Holidaze - Jade
146. spell out TRUTH - R: Midnight's Children - Navi
213. mini skirt on cover - Lauri's book


Unclaimed:
Bingo
A7. Golden footbal - maybe Laila Jane
B8. "crivens!"
E4. "Free Space!" pretty sure we can use any book here.

Thank you all we are doing great!

I can't tell from the description, but make sure it isn't a children's book. Also, if you are not interested in reading this please let us know as it looks like there are other options.
