RES

Gonna have to give up my White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America for I. Non-fiction just takes me too long to read. I have plenty more I's, but I was looking forward to reading this one. I know way more about the distinct class differences in Britain than anything in the US. Thanks regency romance and Downton Abby!

I have a copy of Recursion I planned on reading some time during the challenge.

Ugh."

Agreed. Espeically since the author of the book I read is Spanish. We could have easily switched things around.

Yay! Does it matter which of the other groups I read next?

I'll read One Day by David Nicholls was BOM in Dec 2011.

I can cover the BOM with my N. I own several options that work for it.

Nevermind. I found the archive.

Why does the BOM thread only go back to 2017?

re spell-out plan for zone 3, I'm not sure we're allowed to substitute written numbers for digits (e.g. N for 99). The challenge rules don't mention it, anyway."

It's in the Spell-It-Out rules

"If the first letter of a title is a numerical digit, then you use the first letter of that digit for your spell out (i.e. 1984 is N; 2046 is T; 1Q84 is O)"
It's about a quarter of the way down the page.

I read over my assumed amount for this last wheel-a-thon in order to cover for team mates who had to drop books for the current round. So it did look like I under estimated what I would read.

I'm all for IN/ON

Keep some of the INs and ONs, I've been stock piling N books.

Finished it and found a POISON yellow. Just need to get my hands on a copy.

I’ll finish my U book on my drive home tonight. And I’m on the hunt for a POISON author

Man this is when being on mobile and a super crappy app really frustrates me. I accidentally left my laptop at work and I could kick myself. Even on and iPad even the Google sheets app isn’t the greatest. No cutting and pasting book links.

An I can cover one of the Ns. I don't have plans for the weekend so I should be able to knock out my last U book and another if needed.

Yeah, I've never heard of this either. Here in the Midwest we just do the dollar dance during the wedding reception.

Gonna have to give up Warlight. I have it on audio book and it's one I need to read.

I will finish my D book for ACiD this morning. I accidentally left it at my parents place. So a quick KU from my list will work, since we have 2 BOM/other teams books already.
