The tags aren't too bad for this round!

The Sun Down Motel has been tagged as flower so I might hold off finishing the book until round 3.

I think we'll be okay with V's and Y's. I agree that the I's will be a bit more tricky. The Illuminae Files series start with an i and are tagged as space, if any one is interested.

Round 3 tabs on the SS are up if you want to start planning your books there :)

I thought I'd do another update for the letters that we need if we want to finish 10 read throughs

We've done 5 read throughs so far. We're nearly done with the 6th read through (just have an L left).

So for read throughs 6 to 10 we need:
A: 3
C: 4
L: 9
M: 4
O: 7
S: 4
Z: 0

No stress reading though. We'll move things around if need be [:

Round 2 timer is here - https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
3 days and 10 hours left

All done. Location is for Uno though, not for Wheel ;P

Normally the mods pick up on this quite well. I'm sure they've messaged who is suppose to write Day 4 and the back up.

I think sometimes it also depends on the person's time zone as some tend to be a day ahead of where your are or a day behind your timezone.

I think I need allocate a whole night to read The Sun Down Hotel going by how much you guys are liking the book!

No worries! I know sometimes it’s gets overwhelming and confusing so am glad it helps!

That sounds like great fun Lauri! Hopefully you can get a bit of relaxing and reading done :P

We've done 3 read-throughs so far which is great!

We have enough Z's for 7 more read-throughs. So, we need the following to finish those 7 read-throughs
A: 7
C: 7
L: 14
M: 6
O: 11
S: 7

A total of 52 books left which I think we can manage. I think we can leave Z's alone for now and prioritise L's and O's

Lucky find Suzanne! I didn't think we'd read a book with Morris Dancers!

Details on SS

Cathy - Thanks Cathy! I'm going to have to request an order through my library as they don't have any of her books.

Lauri - Looking good! We're doing well with the O's.

We might need another few Z's depending on how many read-throughs we can get through

Lisa - I'm not from US either. Hopefully Cathy will be able to confirm for us

Lucy - I think I've read a few books or plots with the same storyline or similar to it. Your book sounds interesting and probably worth a read for some variety.

I've started The Handmaid's Tale and will probably take the whole round to listen to it

Indeed she is! I find it harder to get out for long walks in winter as it's cold and/or dark by the time I'm able to go out. I find having a dog gets me out more often though
