Ok, before I go looking through formulas - the books that it shows on the Dashboard tab are ones that have officially been added to the game, not things on our spreadsheet. So, if it's off by 1 because you added a book to the Tracking Sheet, but one of the captains hasn't come along yet to move it to the Main Sheet, that's why it's off.

If you think it's off because you read a book (and it's on the tracker) say more than a few days ago, and I marked that it should be on the sheet, but it's NOT actually on the sheet, then that's another story and I will go hunt it down.

I will look tomorrow when my brain works Cass!!

I've added both mini round ..."

Chava, so you did add them to the Round 2 tab correctly, but you didn't add any resource options. I added one for each from the cover, but if you want to add more, please do. We have to have at least 1 resource to use the book.

BUT - I moved the books to the "Extra Books" section on the Mini tab, as they do not have a "nature" MPG (which is where you had them).

Chava! Can you add your Mini book (Be More Sausage) |btw that title is so hilariously cute...| to the Main Round 2 sheet with your resources? Thank you!

Sorry I've been quiet Team, I had a bit of a chaotic Sunday and Monday. It started off lovely with my IRL book club, but then we had a family member need emergency treatment at the hospital, which made my work life ALSO chaotic for today.

I've been RUNNING.

I am finally sitting down now to see what's been happening here!

Welcome Steph!

Round 2 Mini starts in 9 Hours : 27 Minutes and counting!

I enjoyed the Bridgerton main series, but I haven't read the prequels, so that was a fun find!

I've been eyeing the rest for awhile, and it was a lovely excuse to give myself a treat!

So, I might have gone a little overboard yesterday with my book shopping, but in my defense, I was out enjoying my own company and it just felt right...



Also, those Bridgerton prequels were $2.50 each, so....

Hey Laura Crumpets! I'm removing your book "Fuenteovejuna" as we cannot verify a word count and all editions on Audible are under the 3 hour minimum.

Just a friendly team reminder that if your book has an MPG of Childrens / Kids / Poetry / Play / Graphic Novel / Illustrated / Photography / Art (or has "Illustrated" in the title or an "Illustrator" contributor in the metadata), the word count must be verified as more than 25,000 words on arbookfind.com (.co.uk, .com.au) or the audiobook length must be over 3 hours on audible.com (or a similar reputable site).

Thank you!

Just add anything else it works for, and we can wiggle them around as needed! 😉

A copy of The Familiar should be available from my library in less than 5 weeks, so I think I should be good. I can always use a credit on Audible if I end up with DQs and need it early!
