I will forever stand up to say that Jake is complete trash 😂 The Holmes and Moriarity series is far superior and I don't know why most people love Jake & Adrien so much.

So reading this does that mean after 5 blue books are taken they don't count towards the extra? and it looks like people have 5 books planned already that count?

I was gonna reread the Lunar Chronicles series since all the books are tagged space opera, will just have to check enough tags (its 10x right)?

I was also holding off on books that were shorter (like 200-300 pages) so will add a bunch tomorrow. And then some longer ones. Sorry for the wait on those! I don't know why it overwhelms me every month

Hey all! I'm Amanda, I live in metro Detroit area with my husband and our 2 beagle pups and currently work 2 jobs as a lawyer. I've been doing challenges for a couple years now and I feel like I heard about this one through one of the rounds of Uno but this is my first time playing!

I read 90% MM Romance and 10% mostly non fiction books (but that 10% is sometimes split amongst some other genres.) For my Romance books I like paranormal or mysteries both (and the two combined is usually my favorite). For Non Fiction I'm pretty varied but I've been strangely into disaster and/or survival stories lol.

I have not seen nor read The Book Thief AND I'm not sure I've read a book about books. So don't have much to add lol.

My shelf is Wheel2022

Here's another team challenge if anyone's interested! It sounds like it's similar to this one but it's not I promise lol

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

And here's a link to our spreadsheet last year to get an idea of what you'll have to do https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

If you wanna join you can say you want to be on the MM team and Laura will most likely put us on the same team :)

Just don't ask me to code anything on excel, because I ALWAYS screw everything up

I was able to hide them so no scrolling needed! I moved it to the front if we want to use that one, but will move it back if we don't

So the new sheet doesn't seem to work for autopopulating. Like when I put the book in a letter it just says N/A for the Name/Date/etc. Are we just manually adding that info? If so, would it mess anything up if I put my books on the original sheet even if everyone else is using the new one? I don't mind scrolling since I do it on my computer but I'm lazy and don't want to fill out the info lol

I also thought you all were Hufflepuff LOL. Didn't want to gloat (for absolutely no reason as we didn't do all that well). Congrats!

I did find a couple U's that we didn't end up using last round so I can do a couple if we do find some!

Lol I actually cut out the books that were figging! Bey's book is actually the food figs 🤣

I was beyond surprised that apparently the candy choice of kids is KitKat. Lucky for me that means there are a lot of reece's left lol.

I felt the same way! Lots ok UK writings I think. I felt like there was a lot of "I don't give a fig about x" and I don't hear that in the US as often. (Although, I looked up the origin and looks like it originated in Spain!)

There's a spot for comments so if you do sign up add us. I don't know if we can edit out sign up (I'd just say since Kirsten and I both have kinda common names maybe put our GR ID in as well?)
