I'm currently reading it and it IS creepy!

When does our round 2 reading need to be posted?

I'll be gone Monday through Friday of this next week. I'll be able to read some but probably not as much. I need to plan and know what I need to take with me.

Thank you, and I'm sorry if it appeared that I wasn't adding my tasks. I sometimes put the books in with all the info I have and then later decide which books to use for what. I'm fine with where you placed those two. :)

Hey, I don't know how to shelve anything with different challenges! To be honest, I 95% of the time both read Kindle and listen to the audio, sometimes together and sometimes switching off. For Heidi's Guide I used both Kindle and the audio version, which is on Audible Escape and I purchased the Kindle version.

Also, shows 2 authors, with Andi Arndt being the 2nd one and the narrator. It shows her as a 2nd author and the narrator on Amazon too. https://www.amazon.com/Heidis-Guide-F...

The Bachelor requires we use the first Kindle version so that's probably why I put it there. I am getting confused on how to move forward. I normally read only the physical copy or Kindle without audio if it's not available. I use Scribd, Audible Escape, buy 24 credits annually, and I also have my personal library and use Libby.

So, going forward, do I need to somehow put that I've used audio in this thread or what? I haven't put any narrators' names unless I used audio.

Do we have a time we have to wait for to finish our currently reading books for round 2?

@Silje, BTW, I have all of the hardback books in this trio and they are gorgeous! I read the first book over 3 years ago...huge mistake since my memory is so awful! But I am determined to read book 3 sooner. Hopefully within a month.

I see what happened. I had duplicate books. I hate when that happens and I'm not always sure how. I had the one book marked only for Wheel, and I guess that's the one you saw. Anyway I deleted that one so we should be good now.

Oh no! Sorry about that. lol

Ashleigh wrote: "Vicki could you add Sweet Ache to your shelf please :)"

Done! Sorry, I was in the middle of doing that book and got distracted and once that happens, I sometimes forget to finish. lol

Silje, the countdown is when we have to have ALL of our books finished and posted in the planning sheet for round 1, right?

Thank you, Silje. :)

@The captain/co-caps, I posted one book on the SS that I wasn't positive about for the task, so I went to TinEye and it came up 49.8% yellow. I went ahead and added it because rounding it up, it is 50% and I don't think we even need to use TinEye. I just wanted to inquire if that task is going to be accepted or if I need a different one. Then I went to look at the line number just now and see one of you already tagged it so I'm assuming one of you is asking in the captains group. Please let me know when you find out. Thanks. :)

You guys are doing a fantastic job so far!

Yes, thank you. :)

Okay, that's clear enough! I sometimes get confused with all the various times, whether you can/can't start a book prior to the start of the challenge as long as you don't finish it, and so forth. I love countdown clocks. :)

Do we have a countdown clock to the end of this round? If not, can we possibly get one in this thread?

Thanks ;)

Oh, I overlooked that. Thanks! Get some good rest!

Also, on the tasks sheet, when we record a task do you ladies want us to put the number of the task under our column with our name or a check mark?

Okay, captains, I just added my first finished book, so would you mind looking to see if I did it correctly? Pay particular attention to the points for pages and tasks. I think we get 5 points for tasks but if we have a tag we get extra. This book didn't have any tags. But if I'm doing it wrong, better to find out now!

Kim wrote: "Silly question: where do we find the tags for books?"

On the Main Page (MPG) on the right side under GENRE at the bottom it says, "see top shelves" and you just click on that.

It is truly very, very sad and it probably isn't the best time to read it; however, keep it on a priority list for better days because it truly is a quality book!
