Yeah I've only heard not great things about that one so I was hoping it wouldn't win.

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on my Chipmunk book! I've had a terrible migraine for the past 2 days so I haven't really gotten any reading done.

I... am nowhere near the line sadly. I feel like I need to just blast through the comics/graphic novels on my list this month so I can finally surpass the line.

I have a short one I could do for the chemical element one (The Highlander's Iron Will) but I wouldn't be able to get to it until sometime tomorrow.

Hey, I'm also off on Friday giving me a 3 day weekend. My husband and I will be going to FanExpo in Philly (right over the bridge from where we live) which will be fun.

Just updating that my Edgar book should be done sometime tomorrow night. Sadly work will be getting in the way of reading it earlier. Those jerks.

Ok, I'm going to go with Postmortem since a few people said they liked that one. Plus it's the longest, so more points. Thanks for the help everyone!

I'm being indecisive and can't decide between the Edgar books I have. Anyone else want to pick between these for me?

One day I'll clear out the backlog.

Sorry, hadn't had a chance to hop on today so I'm catching up on the thread now.

I had missed your message about having one for the Edgar task Christina when I initially posted, sorry about that. I do have one that works but Erin if you want it that's fine too!

Things have finally settled for me a bit after a crazy week so I'm hoping to get a lot more read this week than I did last week. I'll take a look at my shelves to see what can work for the Chipmunks.

My brother unexpectedly needed to move in this past weekend so I had to clear out our spare room for him and boy did I not realize how that room had become the dumping ground for everything we didn't know where to put. So I've been spending most of my time trying to find a new home for a room full of stuff since he'll be here for the foreseeable future.

Here's a link to the Edgar Award winners for #6.

I know I have a bunch I could read on there if no one else wants to.

Would this cover work for Bright Purple? Not sure if it's too light for that.

Did someone sort the spreadsheet at some point, maybe? The sort/filter doesn't include the Claimed Mini task columns or or the For Captains columns so I believe if someone sorted something, it would only sort columns A-J which would mean the stuff in the other columns would no longer line up with the book it was entered with.

Since it looks like someone else will have the last 600+ book covered, should I hold off on finishing mine (I have 2 on the sheet as of now) until June since those are harder to come by?

I have at least 1 500 something page book that I'll be reading before month end that's not on the spreadsheet yet. I'll add that later tonight.

I know I'll finish a lot more in the second half of May than I did in the first half. I knew going in that the first 2 weeks of May would be pretty busy for me and I wouldn't get many books finished. So that should help I hope.

Are those minis over the course of the whole challenge or just for May?

I will definitely be participating in The City of Brass and 11/22/63. None of the Backroom BOMs interest me so I'll be skipping that.

Hello all! I'm finally back from my weekend away for my BIL's wedding. I didn't get any reading done over the weekend due to be so busy (both my husband and myself were in the wedding party). But now that I'm home, I'm hoping to get a bunch done.
