OMG, Alysa! 100 pages!? I get tired after looking through 3 pages. 😁

Also, I noticed that on our planding spreadsheet, the task points aren’t being added when a completion date is entered.

Thank goodness I had my book The Space Between Worlds checked. Because LGBT was dropped from the main page!

It is on my shelf! 🙂

I finished my last book for this round and updated the spreadsheet!

Alysa wrote: "Awesome.

In other news, I am so glad that I didn't try to stick another book into Round 4, besides this short Space Opera one. A few days ago I still thought I might have time, but then my daughte..."

Alysa, thank goodness it wasn’t due to COVID! So many classes are being cancelled just as they are starting because of the virus.

Laura wrote: "Yes to both, Geri."

Thanks! I’m too paranoid, I know. 🙂

A book I just finished had a V name, Verity. And the book I am reading now has an I name, Ivaskov! It isn’t on the spreadsheet as I. I will start another I book tomorrow.

Just to be sure the MPGs don’t drop off. Please verify that The Space Between Worlds is MPG LGBT and Don't Rush Me is MPG Urban Fantasy. Thanks!

OK. I’ll read an I book. And will add the V book to round 5.

Laura - Which do we need more of, I or V? I have a book for V. But I can read an I book instead. I don’t think I will be able to read extra books this round. So I want to read what we need most.

Please verify that All of Us is MPG Health. There is a character named Victoria. So I’d like to read it for V. And use the Health task. Thanks!

Thanks for the idea. That book does fit a lot of tasks! I looked through my list of books remaining for this challenge. And since our word has so many letters, I can pretty much read any of them. So I should be able to use most of the tasks I planned to use. 🙂

Wow, I was not expecting our word so soon! I’m not prepared. I’m having an off day. But I can’t resist planning! 😁 I have a few books I have been holding back on that work for X. But I do think I will run out of tasks for my books. I have been switching/shuffling a lot. But eventually there won’t be a task I can use. But I will use as many as I can.

For round 4, I can read for any of the letters Alysa mentioned. E, T etc. I am hoping to read 1 or 2 more this round than last round. Not sure yet if that will happen. On Thursday I should know.

Yes, I stopped reading after 2 chapters. I will add another book to the spreadsheet for another letter instead. I believe one of Alysa’s books was switched from Y? So I was hoping it could be used for my unfinished Y! Sorry, just can’t read a bad book today.

I started my Y book today. But I can’t finish it. Probably because I powered my way through a very mediocre book yesterday. Can Alysa’s book be used for our final Y?

I will read an I book tomorrow. And will try to read another on Thursday.

Laura wrote: "Yes. I had a Y book, so I moved one of Alysa’s to an I spot. We really need Is!"

Some of my books I have already finished have I names like Irina, Isabella etc. They could probably be switched too if necessary. I’ll look for another I book.

Laura wrote: "Hey team. Our planning spreadsheet is currently up to spelling #9. But there are blanks in #s 6 - 9, so lets try to fill those in before we put anything into a new one. We'll probably get a 10th at..."

OK. I’ll stop looking for more Y books.

Laura wrote: Don't do it! My heart is currently lying on the ground, bloody. And the next one isn't out for 2 more months!"

LOL Good to know. Hopefully, 2 months fly by!

I’m waiting for August 1st. More borrows from hoopla become available. And I can start reading my genre of the month books. So I added a few more books to the spreadsheet to get me through the day. 😁
