Well I'm oblivious and completely missed that there was a The at the beginning of the series name as my brain had the series as just Sherwood Witches.

Thanks!

35559 I never remember the rule about nicknames for characters, but for this book the main character is named Matilda but she pretty much only goes by Tilda. Can I use this one for a T? It's the only letter in round 2 it works for so hoping it's fine.

35559 I noticed on the Summary tab in the spreadsheet that Round 2 is showing no books/points for the round yet.

Is that something that can be fixed?

Not super important in the grand scheme of things but I like seeing the points all added up when I go into the spreadsheet.

35559 I added my next book (Haunted Ever After) to the story mini as I thought it would be fun there with the other books we've got for it but feel free to move it if needed.

35559 My brother's wedding is on Friday so depending on how much time it takes helping get everything ready for that, I may only get 1 or 2 more before the end of the round. But I don't have anything on the spreadsheet yet so I won't list any books until they're finished.

35559 I'm going to start with Orphan X and then continue on with the series (I've read the first 3 before but the rest are new to me).

I own books 1 thru 9 so can contribute to the series ladder wherever needed with those.

35559 Hi all, checking in. I've played Wheel several times (started with the Nightmare Before Christmas one whenever that was) and recognize a lot of you from various challenges.

I'll take a look at my shelves to find some longer books that work for our letters and the minis. I've been primarily reading shorter books due to Turf Wars but most of what I'll log for this should be at least in the 300-400 range and I'll try to get some longer ones in as well.

35559 I didn't have a chance to read as many of the longer books I wanted to the last few weeks so I added a few smaller books I finished since I'm under my cap and I figure a small amount of points is better than none.

35559 Just finished Less of a Stranger. That is definitely one of her books that didn't age well, it was very much an 80's romance with the whole no means yes thing. It's been so long since I read it that I forgot most of the book except that she made sculptures which is probably a good thing with how bad it was.

35559 Yeah, I did some rearranging recently in my library and I moved some of my older Nora books, just can't remember where I put them.

I'll be able to read this one tomorrow after work.

35559 Ok I can't find my copy of the book but my library has the ebook so I can read that. It's Less of a Stranger. Not super long but it will cover the task.

35559 There's a Nora Roberts book where the female MC is a sculptor, let me go look through my shelves really quick. I'm pretty sure I have a copy of it and can reread it.
