35559 Oh, just a heads up to Daniel! I moved your BOM entry to the Round 2 tab, in case you go looking for it. :)

Sounds great!

35559 Couple of housekeeping things....

megan!
If This Gets Out (Sophie Gonzales) - do you have a page/location for this quote? "There's also a bedazzled white piano on a crane..."

Lorna!
Finding My Elf (David Valdes) - do you have a page/location for this quote? "the piano joins, sounding the melody of the chorus"

I'll ensure to do this better in round two before adding to the sheet <3"


No problem Lorna - I was in need of letters! lol

35559 Ok, I've moved some books around to try and find more accessible letters to read for. As you get a chance today or tomorrow, check the SS and see if there is anything you want to add that's needed, or if you need to make a change to a planned book.

We're doing good, let's finish strong!

I'm sure it was Goodread's fault.. lol it's always making me look like I'm crazy.

35559 Brittany - whenever you get a free moment, add Starling House to your wheels shelf. I verified it on your Read shelf, so no rush, just for ease later.

35559 Ok, so far, I think we will need a few more I books. Does anyone have any?

I've added some gaps in our potential spell-outs for this round. If we were to finish 2 more (assuming everyone finishes their planned reads), we'd need 3 I books, 1 Z book, and one R book.

If you can fill in a gap, please do! :)


I'm going to do a bit of re-arranging and check back in.

35559 Monday update! We've completed another spell-out and there is another close behind it!

How is everyone feeling about the books they have listed on the SS? Will you finish them? Are you thinking you might move them to Round 2 or leave them out altogether? With 5 days left before the next round, I'd like to get an idea of how many possible spell-outs we have in us, and if there are any letter holes to fill to make that happen!

When you get a chance, please look through your planned reads and let us know! :)

Happy reading!

Can be used for the following letters:

Lauri, I just want to double check which edition you read! You linked a 304pg count book, but you said the page count was 280. Did you read the hardcover edition (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...)?

Good Morning (or night) Team! Just a little update!
We have completed a spell-out and are almost done with another! Great work!

35559 I love the Sunshine Vicram series! So funny!

35559 Also, a Bonus Word "rules" heads-up! Plurals and possessives are OK to use (of course), but no other variants and it must be the actual instrument, not another thing with the same name.

To clarify, bagpiping bagpipers without mention of their bagpipes are of no use to you, and accordion files, even if they accordion out also don't count!

35559 Also, everyone! Please make sure you're adding the books you finish to your wheels shelf so we can check everything!



Thank you!!

Usually it's a few days before the next round begins.

Feel free to push it as far out as you'd like. Your only time constraint is that DQs must be answered by November 16.

35559 Alright Team! We just need a Z and a T to complete our first spell-out. I am sure the T will show up quickly! But check for Z's!!
