Would you recommend The Murmur of Bees? I have a friend who's learning Spanish and might be interested in spanish books

That's great! Love the options. They're both tricky tasks to cover for

Thanks Celia! I had trouble finding a book with this task for a previous challenge so am glad you managed to find a book for it.
I've added it to the rodent on cover task

Just being quiet

I’ve got a stack of finished books I need to add to the spreadsheet.

And I have MORT loaded and ready to read for the BOM"

Good to hear from you Sally. I hope everything is going well with you :)
Add them in whenever you can Sally and we'll pop them in where they best fit

In case anyone hasn't noticed, I've highlighted in pink the tasks that haven't been claimed or that have been claimed but the book hasn't been read yet

Done! Thanks Namita (:

@ Lisa and Karen - Yay! More discworlds and BOMs! That's great. I'm determined to get onto the BOM DW this week after I finish reading Prickly Business

Thanks for your input Alysa. (:
We're doing well with the tasks. Maybe we are getting stuck on some Bingo tasks? Not having read a Discworld book yet, I'm thinking of ways to match books to some Bingo tasks. But they are filling up more in June than July.
Is this something anyone would like us to brainstorm for? Some Bingo tasks that aren't so straightforward? Or are we okay
to wing it?

I think we'll be okay writing up the Jackonaries. Worst case scenario, I can write up a Jackonary and everyone can have input before we finish the challenge. I've added a few books there so far that Jessi and I haven't been able to fit anywhere else.
If you want to add your books somewhere else Alysa, that would be okay. The easier tasks tend to get filled quicker. We will work with whatever information you provide us with

All good Stacey. I've popped your name down for that task

All done Kimber. Would it fit in any tasks or are you happy for me to put it wherever?

In regards to tasks, Bingo and jackonary, I dedicate my weekend to updating them all. Tasks and Bingo are still a priority at the moment to complete as much as possible. We can start working on Jackonary tasks if that's something the group wants?

Let me know if you have any other feedback on completing any of the tasks! :)

Pop it in as a option and if Christina doesn't let us know, we can use it if no one else's book fits

We're also looking into getting a replaement player. Hopefully they check in or more people express interest as a replacement player

Ooh thanks or the reminber Stacey! Backroom BOM is starting on the 9th.
Is there anyone interested in reading for it who isn't a member of the backroom? We can get you set up there if needed.

The BOMs for July are:
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
The House in the Cerulean Sea
Guards! Guards!

I've volunteered for DQ for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Lisa volunteered for DQ for The House in the Cerulean Sea and for Guards! Guards!

And thanks Alysa for letting us know July's BOMs were up :)

I'll be back up for team carrot :)
