35559 Thanks, Judith! That is very helpful.

I have added my last book to the spreadsheet but below the last line as all the slots where it can fit are full.

35559 Am I right in thinking that Round 1 finishes on the 21st?

Thanks, Judith. That is what I thought as well but I wasn't sure if adding the books on the lower lines would not muck up things.☺️

35559 Hi. Could we get some more lines on the tracking sheet? There are only two empty lines and my book does not work for either.

Or should I just add the books below the lines with all the letters they work for?
Thanks.

Preeti, it looks like someone fixed the missing box so that's great.

Lexi, I hope you are getting plenty of rest after that long trip.

I have volunteered for If We Were Villains. I have read it before and loved it so would love to read it again.

35559 Thanks, Judith!

The app is awful!!! On my phone and iPad, I only access GR on the browser, and there too only in desktop mode.
35559 I'd like to volunteer for DQs. (Team A Man Called Ove)

Thanks, Cordelia!

35559 I have a doubt...how many people from each team can volunteer for DQs? I was planning on volunteering for If We Were Villains (Dec BOTM). Thanks.

35559 Hi. I added a book to the planning sheet (A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons (Saffron Everleigh Mystery #1)) but the box to mark it as a blue cover book is missing. Whom do I inform about this? Thanks.

Thanks, Judith! Will do.

35559 Are we using Tineye to judge a book cover colour or eyeballing it? All the books I check on Tineye keep showing up as Grey even though they look very blue to me. 😒

Thanks, Judith! I didn't realise that the tag & colour get 5 points each. It would make more sense to read books that fit both in that case. These are the times when I am glad my TBR is so ridiculously long.😊

35559 Hi. I have a doubt... is it better to read a looong book to get plenty of points or to read one that fits both the cover colour and the tag of the week? I am trying to make up a list of books to read and this has me a bit foxed.

35559 Hi, all. 👋🏻 My name is Preeti (she/her) and I live in Bangalore in India. I have taken part in Wheels once but can't remember anything about it except that it was fun.

I am going to look around, get my bearings and then list the books I am planning on reading. I read from pretty much every genre and generally have at least 2 - 3 books on the go at any given time.

I recently read Old Man's War by John Scalzi and enjoyed it greatly. The audiobook covers for the series, sadly, are not blue but they are MPG Space Opera.

Edit: Forgot to add my shelf so here it is:
