New spell out:

Other Tributes

Mary,

Can you add Silver Linings Playbook to your wheel shelf when you get a chance?

Thanks!

They aren't, thanks! I shifted things a bit and finished the spelling.

I's and R's are in most of the spellings so those I replaced will likely drop right into the next one.

Once I get it logged I'll request a new spin

I have a pretty short audio book I can listen to that works for the author initials. I'll grab that one just leaving 2 open spots on the current district wheel.

spun for a new District and and landed on D13

after using up some banked books, it looks like we need the following:

BOMB in title (letters in any order)
orange cover (>50%)

and if I missed a book on the tracking sheet we could use (that we aren't saving for something else like setting #in series) give a shout!

I sorted through the unplaced books on the tracking sheet and things are filled in with read or currently reading books except for

>50% in Argentina

item related to the district on cover

I'll get in on the tracking sheet for you

Our new district is District 10 (livestock)

I'm seeing what we have to fill in but I don't think we have a set in Argentina

I have a #10 in series I've been waiting to read but also happy to cede to someone else

Kim,

when you get a chance can you add Dark Restraint to your challenge shelf?

Thank you!

No worries, Logan is still working on hear Mexico book. You aren't holding anything up.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks Krissy!!

Well, I got a new spin and we ended up with the squirrels again but at least we have a bunch of open letters

If anyone finishes a book that works for O, we can swap out my book. I'm not sure I'm finishing it today and it's the only book left to finish on our current spell out.

Hopefully I'll finish it some time tomorrow or Friday.

With some shuffling around and a few spots people just grabbed, everything but green cover (at least 50%) is claimed for the new district wheel.

And all the letters are currently claimed or already read for on the current spell out (which is close to complete).

Awesome job team!

Perfect!

I made the move for both of your books.

Emily has one read with a title starting with A I can drop right in to the spell out

Spun for a new set of tasks on the District Wheel and landed on D11.

We have some banked books we can drop in, working on that now but one I think we need is takes place in Mexico (at least 50%)

JDM gets my vote

No worries, thank you!

DQs Day 5

19. Have you ever forgotten an important event? How did you make up for it? Did it involve pastry?
Yes, one year I completely spaced on my niece's birthday party. I felt awful but I'm not sure she noticed that much as she was having fun with all her friends (and she was turning like 5). It sort of worked out as she got to extend the celebration a bit when we met up later and gave her the gift.

20. So, who is the daftest of the two? Miles, for not telling Daphne what he was doing and basically doing all the things he knew Daphne’s dad did to her as a kid. Or Daphne for immediately stomping off in a huff and assuming only bad things and refusing to talk to Miles? (I can’t be the only one who is so sick and tired of this kind of thing happening in every contemporary romance book?)
Numpties all around. Daphne was being less mature I think by refusing to even have a conversation. Walking off in a huff bothered me less (heat of the moment and all that) than the fact she kept refusing to talk with him at all.
Author's really should find another way than this for their characters to act.

21. The readathon seems like a lot of fun! Anyone even a tiny bit surprised that Miles was there? If you were to set up a dream readathon – budget not a problem, where would you hold it, who would be the participants (kids, adults, women between 33 and 37 only, etc.), and would there be a theme? Any other cool additions, like readings by certain specific authors?
100% not surprised he was there. I think a library is always the best place, always have more books on hand!! Maybe a really famous library? with those big poof chairs for everyone to sit on. LOL.

22. What did you think of the book overall?
It was fine. I did enjoy the read and it was easy/quick to get through and certainly didn't tax the brain. But wasn't special. Honestly one of the more unique things about it is the FMC wanted no parts of getting back with her ex. Not even a slight wobble. That was nice.
