I totally agree—it feels like a luxury to type with a keyboard and have more than one window open at once on my screen when I get to use a computer 😂

Okay sounds good, just didn’t want y’all to think I wasn’t reading! :-)
I shouldn’t be finishing my current reads too far behind the start of this one!

I appreciate all the work mods put in on all these amazing and fun challenges, and those reasons make sense too!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm guilty of having "eyes bigger than my stomach" when it comes to my TBR lol ;)"

Haha that’s definitely me as well!!

I wish this one started at the first of the month instead of mid month since books can’t be started before! I’m always finishing things up around the end of every month and used to starting new things at the beginning of each month but the struggle is real balancing all that mid month lol. Doing that process twice in a month is more of a struggle than I anticipated haha
I’ll probably be a little late starting books for this challenge due to some that I’m in the middle of but hopefully not too bad :-)

Oh you’re right that makes sense lol. My library has a much shorter list for physical copy so we’ll see 🤞

I’m west of you in hamilton county so I guess we both just have similar wait lists lol! I’m going to try butler county also since my work is there.

Haha remind me, we’re you also from Ohio?? I ask because I’m 296 😂

Yay both June BOTM sound good to me—I’m headed to get on the list at my library, I hope I have better luck than 294 😳

Omg this is so scary!! I’m so glad he was okay and it wasn’t worse!!

I’m a little confused on the BOTM—will The Cartographers count for this or no? The only one listed in the start of the thread is the one starting 5/16, which I’m not interested in. But the rules also mention things about the past BOTM? I just want to make sure I understand it and I’m not right now lol

Fun to be in another team with you! I’m hoping to be a more active teammate in both challenges now that my work travel trip is over. I loved getting to go to Arizona it was so nice there! Now that I’m home though I’ll be back to my normal active on GR self lol

Actually, this spreadsheet doesn’t seem to require links, so that will be a lot easier and I could still add to it from my phone anyway! :-)

Do we get points by just reading the BOM's, or do we have to participate in the discussions as well to receive them?

I always like the idea of a thread for posting completed books. It’s seems like it would make it easier for captains to add books for those of us not adding to the spreadsheet.
I often post from my phone so sometimes I can get the books posted quicker if I can just put it in a thread instead of waiting to get to a computer for the spreadsheet. Just a thought—seems like posts in this thread would be harder for captains to keep track of. I’ll do whatever way.

Ok, just ignore me, my brain is everywhere lol. I did check in (huge sigh of relief) and I’mnow home so I should get back on track with checking our thread regularly now!!

Here’s the link to my shelf:

I’m drained from travel day today so I’ll read up on our thread tomorrow after I get some much needed sleep!

I’m panicked I didn’t check in!! I hope I’m just remembering wrong. I’m super jet lagged and was on travel for work. Going to read through now and will say more later!!

I’m Keri, and I’m from Ohio. I love reading a variety of genres but romance is my least favorite if that’s the main genre. I’ve been known to like them here and there by recommendation but prefer if that’s the subplot to another story,

I’m currently in AZ for work so it’s been a struggle it get used to the time zone switch!

Sorry team that I have been MIA for the last part of this!! I've been struggling to get over being sick. I still feel so rundown and my reading has been suffering :/

I had a blast doing this and loved our team!!

I loved that book and wish I had time to fit in a reread! It’s also tagged green too.

Yay!! I’m reading Little Fires Everywhere right now and it’s on that list!! Tagged green 5 times!
So you can mark me down for that one for sure :-)

What kind of book is tagged fart?!?! Lol
I’ll see if any of my Christmas books I’m reading this month are tagged any of those and let you know!
