I think this is perfect!

We were able to fill everything but U once again for our cheese! We missed out on finishing the last one since the times are so random. I can pick up a U book if we want, but if anyone else has one please feel free!!

Turns out we can use variations such as -ed and plurals for tags so long as it doesn't change the meaning of the word! I think that means a book that isn't being used can be slotted in

aha same here!! so many I've already read ..."

Yes!! That’s why I linked to the genres page for review because it was less books than I expected and was sick of digging through books I was sure would work lol. I wish “reviewed” was the task as it seemed way more common

You are there now! Thank you for asking. Sorry again

I am so sorry Lindsay! I totally did not add you to the sheet my bad. Please add books whenever you can, if you need help since I dropped the ball on adding you, let me know and I'll tackle too!

We can use tasks for mini 2 any time so yes anything from the start of the challenge is great!!

Not presumptive at all, please ask I'm so forgetful as a person.

I also have wanted to read Cemetary Boys so if nobody else takes the task I can do it

It's for a Mexico task so I would definitely say it works! There's a possibility I can get to it if you can't but I have way more written planned than audio right now so would be a while for me as well.

The only other team who has Mexico also does not have anything yet

I also didn't find anything in my search, it was mostly anthologies. I'm going to see if any other team has gotten Mexico yet so I can steal ideas lol

If you have a kindle you can search all of your books, but it usually doesn't do a good job with multiple words/ a phrase. Searching for Muertos might be easier. I'll see what I've got for recommendations (but I mostly read LGBT romance so might not be everyone's cuppa)

From books you've finished that aren't used for a hard task if you have one that fits these new tasks go ahead and put them down! (Can also be something unfinished just trying to keep this one moving)

37 Read a book from a new-to-you author
40 Read a book where the first word in the text is "They"

It’s any character, author, title, narrator

And if it’s for a hard letter then yes let us know! Otherwise you can just fill out the spreadsheet with all the info, I’m checking everyday

Lisa, Deputy and the enforcer needs shelves and read date

"Team Eiffel Tower" is for captains only, you don't have to worry about that one.

"Planning" is where we're doing everything.

If you have something you're specifically reading only to cover a certain task and wouldn't read at this time otherwise (including for cheese or mini) let us know so we can make sure it goes exactly where you want it since I'm moving things around like a madwoman

I'm confused... I stopped using the main SS and started using the planning SS. But the spelling for the cheese part..."

We (the captains) just placing stuff for the cheese because it's an unknown time frame so we aren't doing claims and are just filling as soon as we see something that fits. Unless you've got a U planned, then let us know and we will put it in so you can make sure it gets counted

I KNOW! There was a grocery store near the hospital I took birthing classes in that had like a whole room of artisan cheese that I would waddle up to when I was pregnant and now I want to go to it again lol

While we haven't been claiming letters for these ones if anyone is reading a U specifically for the cheese please let us know!!

oops yes - still figuring t..."

So Column G is "Mini Ref" and that's where you'll assign a mini. On each Mini row there's a number in Column A. You'll just plug that number into column G

Our new task is "Read a book where a character gets on a plane" for Mini 2 and rather than dig through everyone's books, does anyone have this in one of their books that is finished but hasn't been used yet?
