You people keep your germs on your side of the computer please!

Are you liking the book Kerri? I don't know if I'll have time for it this week, but if it's really good I might make the time. Otherwise, next week for sure.

I love that we have so many points and so few books. :) These long books we've been reading really make all the difference in this round of the challenge. And my TBR thanks us.

I started reading The Wandering Inn: Volume 1 yesterday and I'm finding it a really fast read for the size of it. The writing is pretty bad, but the story seems to make up for it. Nice points too if anyone else likes light fantasy.

This summer I read 2 chapters of A Discovery of Witches. Today I restarted from the beginning because I need it for another challenge. Just didn't want anyone to think I was cheating. :D

I have lots of 1000+ page books left, just have to find time to read all of them. :) One of my other team challenges finished this week, so that's one short book I don't have to read. And one other will probably be done next week, so that's another. It is kind of fun being in the lead.

Done SUCCESSION. It will work for MAN, but since it works for two lines also, we should really use COIN or STEAK if we have to move something. My steak book has men in it, but nothing super important. There is a dead man in a pot of BBQ sauce, would that work? The coin book is romance with a male MC, maybe it would be a better switch?

Okay, I will definitely finish. Going offline now. :D

Actually, are you going to switch Ozana's Sin Bingo to regular bingo? Because if not, we don't really need my SUCCESSION book this week.

I have about an hour on my last book, but I'm going to sit down and finish it now, so we should have about an hour's grace for you lovely captains to move it to the real spreadsheet. Sorry to be so last minute. :D

Alrighty, I have added two books to the list, for STEAK and SUCCESSION. If we use the Sin Bingo for the regular bingo, that gives us 3 more lines and we are maxed out at 43 books. I have nothing but laundry and reading on my list for today, so it should be doable. They are short books unfortunately, but 21 points for the extra lines will be nice. Off to my laundry room!

If we leave glittery then we just need a steak book for another line.

My book has TIARA, so I will take that if Ozana's book works for ARTIST.

We have 23 finished books on our BINGO board. We have 13 more claimed but not marked finished.

Wren (glittery), M (horse), Rebecca (talented) and Kerri (man) have one claimed each.

Alysa (power, butler), Jessi (sheik, ruby), Joanne (jet, coin), Ozana (artist and the other is a sin bingo) and Allison (champagne, Riviera) have two claimed each.

If we are all going to finish these books, that leaves us 8 possible books without going over. Rebecca has expressed that she can finish 1 more. Ozana might have one more. And I can read one more for sure, maybe two.

Sound like a recap?

I just found TIARA in a book I need for another challenge. I could read it Sunday morning before deadline. Then we'd leave JET and BUTLER and have the right hand line. Rebecca - could you finish CROWN and TUXEDO books this week?

And if Ozana reads PRETTY then we'd need STEAK for yet another line.

Hopefully this isn't too many books total.

If Rebecca found TUXEDO, I can read for STEAK

I'd like to claim the U. :)

Love it and love your organization. Seriously Jessi and Alysa you have been awesome captains for this game. And I am happy that for a week I can just read some of the long books I've been putting off.

But back to this week that isn't quite done.

Finished PAINTING at 4 o'clock this morning and I'm almost done a short book for GLUTTON. Still chipping away at CHAMPAGNE and then I have another short book for RIVIERA. I'm having trouble finding TUXEDO. If someone could suggest a free Kindle or KU book, I'd be happy to read it.

Okie dokie. I have a Riviera book sitting here, even though it is a short book. I will take a look for Glutton and Tuxedo later on.

Again, I don't care much about doing DQs but I am happy to volunteer if no one else wants them. I have such serious bad luck they probably won't pick me, but you never know... I did win a 6-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper back in 4th grade, so you never know when my luck will come back. :D

Finished my EXCLUSIVE book and I'm close on my PAINTING book. CHAMPAGNE will probably be done tomorrow night. Don't know what I should look for next. Should I read that CROWN book? I probably have time for at least 2 more.

Sorry Jessi, hope they all go away soon. :D
