I've fallen quite a bit behind on my Netgalley books, so I'm hoping to make some progress this month while trying not to add too many.

Book: Written in Red
Author: Anne Bishop
Date Read: 12/15/2019
Page Count: 433
Sin: Vanity Mini-Challenge
Sin Bingo (Yes or No): No
How it fits?: Favorite book recommendation
SS Updated (Yes or No): Yes

Apologies for being MIA this week, my husband's grandmother passed away unexpectedly late Tuesday night. The week has been filled with family stuff so I have not been able to read anything. The funeral is tomorrow morning, so it's unlikely I'll get to much this weekend either. I will try to get at least 1 book read before the deadline, likely Written in Red since it's a reread. Next week should be better for available time to read, so I'll get more done then.

I'll definitely get to 3 this week, but I'm trying for 4. One of my books is a 1,500 page anthology which is why I may only get to 3.

Looking at my hardcover, the jacket looks more black than brown although even with a physical copy it's hard to tell.

I won't get to that anthology this week, so I'm going to move it to next week. Other than the anthology, I'm going to try and focus on books for the mini challenge since they get 7 bonus points a piece.

I'm in again.

I believe you just need to link to your comments from the BOM thread in your completion post (at least 3 comments).

Great, I'll pick up and finish my 9th in series tonight. For the 10th book, I'll have that done by mid-day tomorrow so whoever is after me will be good to go after that.

I was looking at something in the official sheet, and I noticed line 288 in the books tab isn't calculating page points. I'm guessing it's due to columns F & G being blank?

Ora, for your PsyChangeling books that aren't being used in the mini. You currently have them under Anything Goes which gets us no bonus points, but you could move them to Gluttony for Criteria "Books in a very long series (12+ books)". That would get us 1 bonus point per book, not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but hey every point helps.

Ora wrote: "I will have 7 & 8 done tomorrow late afternoon/early evening. I will let you know when I am almost done with 8 since I am doing back to back books I will just update once."

Ok great. I should be able to finish 9 tomorrow night then. 10 I should be able to finish by mid-day on Wednesday.
