About 30 pages in. It's not hooked me yet, but I'm hoping that will come :)"

Same!! I was thinking I might try to get a bit more reading of it in right before UNO starts... since I can't use anything started before!

Yay! Thank you!

Don't know how I missed this! I just squeaked in before it closed!

I was able to squeeze in the short prologue tonight before putting my little one to bed. I'm intrigued! I used to be super into "High Fantasy" and I've really moved away from it, so I'm excited to get into this one!

I bought the $2.99 kindle deal! I was going to use my Audible credit, but I decided I would just read along at the pace of the read-a-long!

Yay! We did great!!

What about this one!?

Do we think this is teal? I've been meaning to read it and I have the audiobook I could maybe get through today, since I have a bunch of cookies to decorate for Christmas!

PS, I hate trying to decide on teal books... it's too subjective.

I've really lost interest in my Zombie series I started, and I don't think I want to read the next book...

Thieves!

We are on our 5th spell-out! What we really need are TEAL books, so if anyone has one they think they can get through, go for it!

@Kirsten: When you get a sec - add a read date to Hidden Scars (you have 16-Dec-2022 listed on the SS)

@Trio: When you get a sec - add Subtle Bodies to your wheels shelf!

Spell-Out #2 Completed! :)

@Amanda: Whenever you get a sec, add Jake Plus Conner to your wheels shelf! Thank you!

First Spell-out completed! :)

hahaha! I love it!

no worries Kristen, books are books, even without the tags!

Putting this here for easy reference: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Ok, I think I got things situated. I didn't see any info from a previous version for your letters for the book, so you'll need to add that, but I corrected your page number and tags. I'm thinking everyone was typing at the same time.

Jessica, are you talking about on the Rd 5 sheet? I'll try to check tonight and see if I can figure it out.

I didn't get any reading or listening done, before the end of Rd 4, things got crazy at work
