Good morning (to all the US teamies)! Do we HAVE to get out of bed?



Brittany, that books looks interesting! I seem to have a love-hate relationship with mythology-related books, yet I keep reading them. Go figure....

SAME! I finished the second Crescent City Mass book and I think it caused a (maas)ive book hangover. Nothing seems to be measuring up!

Me... wishing I was back in bed reading...


Is everyone liking their books so far? I wasn't enjoying my first book A God of Wrath & Lies) until about halfway through! I think I'll finish it tonight and I'm guessing I'll be starting the next book ASAP!

And one last thing before I trudge off to get ready for work.
Be on the look out for Z's and probably I's. Z is an uncommon letter, and I (for some reason) can be difficult to find (and we need 2 per spellout)!

Also, a Team Heads Up! Don't panic if your books are moved around on the planning sheet. I usually move them up and down based on where I think they will fit in the word. Since we only get one incomplete spell out, I want to make sure we used EVERY book! :)

Brittany wrote: "I don't see any books on our sheet. Am I on the wrong one?"

This is our Team Planning Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I think you might be looking at the Team Sheet that the captains update. I like to try and get enough books for a spell out before adding them to that sheet, so we can move things around a bit.

Yay! I started A God of Wrath & Lies last night, but didn't get very far. As soon as that is done, I'm starting Assistant to the Villain which I have been waiting to start, so excited!

I had a hectic day (terrible timing, of course) so I will be starting once I'm able to get in bed or when I wake up tomorrow! Sunday is my "do nothing but read day", so I plan to catch up then!

About 2 hours to start!!

Have a fantastic time Lauri!!!

GR is always doing too much!!

To clarify, because it's the BOM, we must use the page count listed on the BOM thread, but please link the edition you actually read on the spreadsheet.

Only 2 days left!

Hi Megan! So glad to hear from you!

Today's exciting Opera Moment!


I'm really feeling the woman on the left...

Thank you Shannon!!
