You also put a read date on Theodore Rex on the spreadsheet. But not on Goodreads. Is that one completed?

Give me a minute and I'll get us a new spin.

Done!"

Thanks!

Yes.

I know some of mine currently on the sheet will roll over.

We can use banked books for the Traveling tasks only. So it can be finished before we get the task. However, we can only use a book for one task (and for one cheese). The Fifth Season is already placed in a spell-out. Same points for the spell-out letter as for the task, so it doesn't make a difference there.

@Tara - you added a read date to The Volcano Daughters on the spreadsheet. Can you please mark it as read on Goodreads? Thanks!

I don't think Aiswyra saw your post. I'll bring it up in the captain's group so she can decide.

Go for it! If a task is open, you don't need to ask. Just add your book to the spreadsheet, then in the Mini Ref column (N). You put the task reference code. That is the number that is found in column A of the tab for that Mini challenge. So in this case it is 69.

I've put this one the spreadsheet for you, but I don't what edition you have so you'll need to fill in the page count. And in the Reason column (M) please put what religions are interacting.

I have had Doomsday Book on my TBR for awhile. And it’s included on Audible right now. I have a few audios to get through first, but I can add it to my reading plans if no one else reads for it first.

It’s been awhile since I read Percy Jackson, but I think most of them involve a quest. Did Titan’s Curse have a road trip?

I’m only just starting My Friends. So if Tara finishes first, go ahead and swap it out.

We have a new task.

Read a book set in the time period "Middle Ages"

Sorry, Sam. If you are reading it that would be a perfect fit. I thought you were talking about moving Bernadette’s from where it is.

Yes. But I think the E in Argentina is more important right now. We’re almost done with that country to get more tasks. And USA born will be easy. I know I have a bunch.

Jacqueline's book was on the spreadsheet, but the mini code had not been added.

I don't remember seeing anything about military, but a bunch of books were mentioned all at once yesterday because of the E.

Bernadette does not have Tender is the Flesh marked as read.

We as captain's don't have time to track everything down. We can only work with what you guys put on the spreadsheet. I know Aiswyra tries to update everything that has been mentioned in the thread, but sometimes there is a lot in a very brief time frame! If someone isn't able to access or isn't comfortable using the spreadsheet that is fine and we don't mind adding those books. But in those cases we need completion posts in here. :)

Thanks, sorry! 🤦‍♀️"

I overwrote a task the other day because it didn't refresh. But luckily it refreshed right after and I was able to fix it because it was just the one. :)

Jacqueline, we have to do the cheese spell-outs as quickly as possible. Once the mods throw a new cheese the spell-out for the previous cheese is over. So we can’t do that X. But we now have 2 Xs for future cheeses!

These are all great. Please add them to the spreadsheet for future cheeses!

We need either an E or an O to complete the spell-out. I just finished one that has both an E and an O in it, so whichever we get finished first we can move my book to the other one.

Aiswyra's The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax has an E character, but if we can get an E finished quickly we can save that one for the next U we get.
