Zoë wrote: "The Streets Have No Queen is there now! Thanks! Also, I hated that book so I think I must’ve done that out of unconscious spite hahah"Haha! It's so hard when you have to read a lousy book.
Is the one on your shelf the edition you read? I ask b/c the number of pages on the planning sheet say 158, but the edition on your shelf has 288 pages. Just want to be certain you're getting credit for the correct number of pages, especially since you had to suffer through them!
Also, can you add a task for it when you get time?
Thanks!
@Zoe,Could you please put your book, The Streets Have No Queen on your Wheel shelf when you get a minute? Thanks!

Hope everyone had a great we..."Yuck! Sure hope your test comes back negative, Celanchia! Other people I know have said it feels like they're scratching the back of your brain with the test! A few have stated it wasn't bad at all or that they were allowed to do it themselves. Doesn't seem like those would be as valid, but either way I'm hoping to avoid the testing! :0

Ok, Midu! The planning sheet is corrected now. I removed the checkbox from book "set in India" and put a checkbox for task 124 "free book".
Sorry, Midu. I don't understand your comment above. Task 126 is "read a book with stripes on the cover", so that doesn't work.Would it be ok with you if I choose task 17 "Read a book set in South America"? You haven't used that one yet and it fits for your book.
Just let me know. :)

which was quite a fun pirate adventure! Updated on row 13 of spreadsheet"
Nice! Sounds like a fun book!
Midu wrote: "Checking in. Halfway through my first book. Hoping to read faster!"No problem, Midu. Just enjoy your reading!
BTW-Task 125 is "Read a book with fun in the title". That does not work for your book on the spell out, "Final Contagion". Can you please choose a different task?
Thanks!

Haha! Well, it's something I would do as a mod, for sure!
megan wrote: "Do we still get extra points for reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles? Mine library finally has a copy available."Megan, we do not get extra points for reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles, but you can certainly read it for this round, if you like. I read it and found it to be very sweet. It's a quick read! I was joking earlier that maybe at the end the mods would assign extra surprise bonus points for reading the team book, but that's just my wishful thinking!
My book, Family Furnishings, works for tag 2, Love. It's on page 5, 1 person.

Haha! No problem, Ann! It's easy to leave out a cell on those spreadsheets!
Team,Someone posted the book, The Secret Countess, and completed it, but there's no reader name associated with it. If it belongs to you, could you please mark it on the planning sheet spell out page?
Thanks!

Brittany,
I did not realize you read the book prior to the challenge. No, we cannot get credit for you answering the questions, if that's the case. Sorry you did all that effort without knowing! If you read it more than 6 months ago and want to reread it, then we could. I will leave your posts on the BOM planning sheet until I hear back from you whether or not you're able to reread it.
*Edit- I checked on your "Read books" shelf to see when you read it, but the book is not listed. Again, it needs to have been read more than 6 months ago (or more) for it to work as a reread.
I have now entered check boxes on the task tab of the planning sheet for all books which have been read to this point. If the task on the 4th round spell out sheet is highlighted yellow that means it's been entered. Feel free to check behind me to make sure I entered the correct task for your book, if you like. Sometimes my eyes can get crossed! lolSome books are completed, but do not have tasks yet. If you could enter a task for your book when completed, that would be great! Brittany this excludes you, as I know you can't access the task sheet. If anyone else is having this problem, please let us know. Thanks!
Hey Brittany!Thanks for posting all your responses to the DQs for Sundown Motel. That's great! When you get a chance please post the book to your Wheel shelf. Thanks!

Hope you have a great time, Karen! After the past few months a getaway is a definite need!

Sounds good!

I gave that one 4 stars, so hope you like it! I did think the story could have been told just as well with maybe 75 less pages, but it had some good twists.
