Okay I will save it for my day when I'm angriest with men then! 😂

Am I good to put on spreadsheet then let District 4 know? I think we have a majority vote

All checked!

Kirsten do you want to read Arthur & George or would you like me to?

I have at least one more to add right now, might get through one more but I will post by tonight if I will!

I’m going to be contrary and say I’d vote against Rth Rising because it’s less letters for us but I feel like sing will give them so much to work with that they can really send something terrible back!

But I’m always good with what the team decides ☺️

Okay I found Arthur & George. 4 letters but not sure they can do less with it!

Yes! District 12 is going with The Ants Are My Friends: Misheard Lyrics, Malapropisms, Eggcorns, and Other Linguistic Gaffes, so passing it back to you :)

Yes, I was planning to read it. Lol"

Awesome! Could you put the edition you're reading on the Round 2 Tab? I'll let District 4 know!

Amanda will pretty much NEVER hae better recall lol. It's why I can reread so many times

Jackie, do you want to actually read it? It looks interesting to me as well if you don’t want to!

Ooh I vote Jackie’s’ otherwise we might just volley ants back and forth

Don’t give them ideas, hope they’re not smart like I’m not and forget about that 😂

lol me either at first’! I was just thinking everyone would probably read all ten (but I’m assuming you’re trying to get to a stumper at some point). Poor naive us 😂

Oof a hard one! I knew you were devious Tammie 😉

Team, I don't think we will be able to find a title starting with NTS so will probably have to do ANTS.

I could read Antsy Does Time which would hopefully make them also pick up a 4 letter.

If anyone has an NTS or a better ANTS let us know!

Just to add to Beth's answer, I think 3 letters is the minimum

I've read it to recently unfortunately, but it's very good!!

I think the end date for Starling House is actually July 2!

There's a big like musical horn on Captive's Curse right in front of the lute (I'm the one that recommended this one lol)

Lol! It'll make more sense once we know what to work off of. We're not going first so we really can't start yet, but once they pick their book I assume we will put out a "does anyone have a book planned that starts with these 3 letters call".

But I can voluntold you if you want 😂

So we will have to do planning and coordinating for this one. All books have to be planned during the first week and then read during the second (they can't be started until the start of the second week). Fortunately, they do not have to be read in order and luckily we have a team of fairly fast readers so I'm confident we can do it!
