35559 Great job! Just keep reading and Stacie will find spots for everything. :)

Taking a reading break to update my huge backlog of missing reviews. I'll jump back in tomorrow when I feel better. I got too hot today--it was 115 and it was just too much to be outside.

A Purple Place for Dying (Travis McGee #3) by John D. MacDonald
John D. MacDonald
Characters: Travis McGee, Mona Yeoman, John Webb, Cube Fox, Jass Yeoman, Artie, Homer Hardy, Dave, Isobel Webb, Dolores Escobar, Fred Buckleberry

Let me know if you need me to find a different letter for a character. This book had a ton of them.

35559 Not home yet but I'm always able to knock out a Travis McGee novel. Give me 2-4 hours to get caught up.

35559 Oh that's wonderful news, Berit! I'm sure it's a huge load off your mind.

Just finished my book and going to post. Good job with Olympics, team!

Yes, I will. Finishing last 100 pages right now. I'll update the sheet before heading to work.

Do you want me just to go ahead and read a different book for that? And then we can save Intrusion four wheel?

No, Berit. The issue is with the formula in the spreadsheet. The book is fine--Kelly will fix it tonight or tomorrow for us.

35559 I can swap my other long one and do a 451-500! No worries. Feed (Newsflesh Trilogy, #1) by Mira Grant is 599 so we are still ok.

I have two options for that slot. I'll figure it out tonight and start reading ASAP.

35559 I am finishing my 599 page book for page jumping. It looks like we don't need my other long book anymore. What else can I do to help?

35559 Looks like we are waiting for Kirby to check in. No one dropped out, though, Lisa!

35559 Bethany, glad to have you join us too! I hope you both enjoy the challenge.

Looks like you have your shelf set up and ready to go. We will make sure the spreadsheet pulls your books you have shelved there.

35559 Welcome, Kirby! I just sent you a friend request. We will need you to set up a shelf for the game and let us know what it will be so the spreadsheet works. Any books you started from June 17 until now should also be shelved there so we can use them in the game.

Let us know if you have questions, and welcome to the Mammoths.

35559 I am. Life has been a little crazy the past two weeks but I have read a few good books that I have either been planning to read for a while or discovered because of this challenge.

Don't be discouraged at all by our current ranking. We still have plenty of books to enter for this event and there are three more to go. The standings will change many, many times by the end. Some teams are burning out already.

Just keep reading great books and have fun with it. This team is a pleasure to be a part of.

35559 Two more days until the end of Olympics, Mammoths!

My question of the day is:
Are you still having fun? :)

35559 That stinks, Berit. I hope you get it all worked out quickly. So much red tape when it comes to insurance!

The spreadsheet issue is just a formula fix. I'm sure Kelly can fix it tonight or tomorrow. That will finish up that part, right?

35559 Just finished The Winter King (The Warlord Chronicles, #1) by Bernard Cornwell .

Still working on Feed (Newsflesh Trilogy, #1) by Mira Grant and First Lord's Fury (Codex Alera, #6) by Jim Butcher .

Will we need anything else? How are we doing for the page jumping bonus?

35559 Finished a 249 pager if we need it for page jumping. It also has a red cover if you want it for team colors for the chariot. Or we can bank it. I just needed to knock it out for a different challenge so it's extra for us.

About 75 pages left of The Winter King (The Warlord Chronicles, #1) by Bernard Cornwell . I'll finish after dinner and post tonight.
