Looks like you are correct Cathy, seems it was used on the Family mini instead (how strange), and that does mean we can't move it now, as Round 2 is over.

We can use I've Got Your Number on the new set in the Garden, so let's find something that doesn't have a place.

I got it Vicki!

Excellent!

Vicki wrote: "OK finished my G20 book and posted it. On to the OKRA book. lol"

Awesome! :)

Roe wrote: "sooo i finished it in the car and didnt see this until i got home.. sorry"

No worries! I'm sure we can find another book to fit!! :) :)

Vicki wrote: "I can have mine done soon."

Awesome Vicki!

Roe wrote: "Im almost done with Dinner for Vamps I can do that one next!"

Roe, I was just thinking. Are you using Dinner for Vamps for anything else, another challenge with a timeline, or something similar? If not, would you be willing to hold off finishing until you read Unorthodox? Dinner for Vamps works for G54 with a bonus word, but if you finish it before we "clear the garden", we won't be able to use it!

It's ok if you can't, just thinking ahead!

ALSO! I saw piano in your book, but I wasn't able to get a phrase and location, so if you find it, add that too!

Fantastic Roe - I moved your book there (it's in red, so we can't miss it!)

Erin, I (unfortunately) had to move your read books off the Garden mini tasks, so if you think you can fit them on Admin or Family, try there.

I think Roe's book "Unorthodox" (unOrtHOdox) will work for G15.

And Vicki - your book "The Collected Regrets of Clover" should work for G20 (REgREts).

Is that something you both can finish quickly, or should we look for something else?

Ok Team! We've had a Gardening set back! These 2 books were disqualified, since we didn't follow the rules!

G15 Water: contains and H and 2 Os
G20 Deadhead: contains a repeat set of at least two letters (e.g BEGINNING repeats IN)

I forgot that we were searching for ONE word in the title, and not looking at the title as a whole.

Those 2 books have been removed and before we can add anything to the next set of Garden tasks, we need to fill those 2 tasks!

Last I promise - I have to go to dinner, so I can't post again lol

I added bonus words, cover colors and series #s to the books currently on the SS, so if you find a mini task that fits and we haven't finished that mini, if you are able to hold off a bit (within this round) on finishing until we do complete one, keep it in mind.

No worries if you can't, or if it's not reasonable (I'm thinking the Family mini at the moment - it's not super close to being completed) or if it's needed to actually complete, of course!

One more update (maybe)...

I have locked the Admin and Family mini tasks that have already been read in Round 2, so they are not able to moved or be edited, since we cannot make changes to Round 2 books. Unread claimed tasks are changeable.

Also, ya'll just ignore the letters I added on the SS! Since we have a lot of duplicates, I was trying to make sure we use what we have effectively.... be on the lookout for F, I, C, and E!!!
