Could someone please add this to our tracking sheet for me? Thank you!

I'm alive! I've been reading, but I've been sick at home... I inadvertently left my folder with all my notes at work. I promise to update on Friday when I get back to the office.

What extra points do we receive for reading the urban fantasy? I have a few on deck if it's worthwhile...

For round 2 I'll start with The Invisible Library, A Deadly Inside Scoop and the 2 October BOMs The Hollow Places & House of Hollow



Dunno what letters they'll work for yet, but there we go! Could someone put me down for these on the spreadsheet, please? Thank you!

And if this helps at all, we can use it, too...

I'm almost done with my 1st 2 books! I've also started on BOM #1 The Hollow Places.



How's everyone doing?

By the time I wake up tomorrow I'll be able to start reading! Yaaayyy! I'm going to start off with The Ronin's Mistress and Glossed and Found. I have over 100 books on deck including some of the dreaded Qs...I also have some whoppers for later. Can't wait!

I know how to use them -- I do at work all the time! My iPad is just not up to it& I can't do it at work. Much too busy & such behavior would be greatly frowned upon... 😝

I go back tomorrow after a 2-week hiatus. That is, I had a cold & the hospital rules are you must have 2 negative COVID test results, be completely symptom free and then wait an additional 72 hours. Then you need to call 24 hrs in advance to schedule a rapid test in the parking lot. Should you pass your 3rd test, they will then let you report to your department to work! Caution is great, but I think this is a bit much...

I'd also like to claim an I -- I have Glossed and Found by author India Ink...



Could someone hook me up with that, please? Thank you!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

Ah, yes...About the spreadsheet. I can view them, but I can't write on them. I use a really old iPad for all my book stuff & they just don't work for me. I hope it's okay if I ask for help.

I'd like to claim the R with The Ronin's Mistress if that's okay. Could someone put me down for that?

I also found 2 Q authors at the library today AND a book with wheels on the cover! I have to see if it will work with any of this round's letters first... I will always do the BOM participation IF I can get the books from the library. I really hate ereaders...
