Christine, your books are shelved as 26th, but the SS has them as 25th. Can you double-check and correct?

Either way, shelf noted! Thank you!
PSAPlease make sure your books are completed in 6 hours - we need to update the spreadsheet as well before it is locked and thus cannot be updated further. Please also make sure your books are on your shelves!
Stormie - can you please add Studies at the School by the Sea / Jenny Colgan to your shelf? We can't add it to the main spreadsheet until you do.Cindy - can you please add Maybe You Will Survive by Aron Goldfarb to your shelf?

This is how the official spreadsheet works, and we can technically do that, but that means that if you're not sure which Mini works for your book, you have to keep shuffling around between sheets to double check.

No worries! You can always start reading ahead for the next round :)
Hey everyone! We're almost at the end of this round with less than two days to go. The challenge has a rule where you can only have only one incomplete spell-out at a time. It doesn't matter much during the round, but it is something we need to ensure at the end of the Round. So - we have an O and
@Trisha - for Diavola, the blurb has a character named Nicole. Is she relevant to the plot in any way? If so, we can use the book for an N.@Shannon - Can you add a completion date to The Once and Future Witches?

Let me know if you have..."
A lot of formatting, yes - I'll get to it tomorrow evening when I have enough time. In the meantime, please don't add anything on there until I give the go-ahead.
Day 5- Now - end to the first line "Marcus's nose is bleeding..."19. What were your thoughts of Addie and Dylan trying again? Was your triangle prediction accurate from the previous days Q's?
Well, I figured Marcus would fuck up and he did, so... That said, the Marcus is in love with her thing made no sense. At all.
20. Did you feel Rodney's punishment of being tied up during the wedding was a good alternative to calling the police? What would you have done?
Had security throw him out, or unleash my army of cousins and uncles and aunts on him.
21. While most of you disliked this BOM greatly, hopefully some enjoyed it. How did you Read the book, by Audio, physical book, electronic, or a mix of some?
I shuffled between reading an ebook and the audiobook. Mostly ebook though.
22. Was you happy to hear that although this book was addressing depression and spiraling out of control, they also addressed therapy and how it has helped? What was your reaction of hearing that Marcus and Dylan were no longer as close as they used to be after therapy?
Dylan finding a modicum of stability and understanding in therapy is probably the only part of this book I can genuinely agree with.
DQs Day 4- Now - Then first line "It's just a sprained ankle..." - last line "Don't contact me again."15. Were over halfway through the book have your impressions of the characters change.
No, I really just was more and more annoyed by them.
16. Rodney’s motives now become clear, how do you see this plot line panning out.
I genuinely hadn't cared by the time it was revealed. I figured it wouldn't be that bad because the book is meant to be a Rom-com, so...
17. We learn more of Marcus’ issues and his apparent need to destroy Dylan and Addie’s relationship as well as destroy any chance of them getting back together. How do you predict this relationship triangle will be resolved.
I genuinely hoped someone would do some permanent damage to any of the three, and that's how it would end. I know the present timeline thing wouldn't match up, but I really didn't care by that point.
18. Etienne is chasing Addie for extra-curricular activities. What are your thoughts on this.
Erm...spoilers.

Melissa wrote: "Excellent work, Kelly.I've got a few left myself.
I might squeeze in the BOM,.... but I'm not sure.
Anyone planning on any of the BOMs?"
I'm planning on both in November. Agatha Christie is an easy read, and I figure The Spellshop cannot possibly be as bad as The Malevolent Seven was, so....
It's visible again!
Oh, that was me - I forgot to change it back
Kelly, don't worry about having to do one entire word. We're using words in the spreadsheet as guides regarding the books that need to be read, but once a needed letter has a completed book, we'll prioritise that and shuffle around.
Melissa wrote: "Do any of you all have favorite women powered authors?"Oh, where do I begin?
Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Louisa May Alcott, Maggie Nelson, Elif Shafak, Mary Shelley, Samantha Shannon, Shannon Chakraborty.
Probably more that aren't coming to mind right now.
