If we can let Lucy, Marty, Ushashi and Lauri have a chance to pick a book early on as they didn't get much..."

No worries, Sophie. You have nothing to apologize for! I am 100% okay with my books being replaced. I just didn't know if they had been since I wasn't told in a post. I will always get my reading done but if something comes up, I will always let a captain know or post it in the thread. I don't want you to feel bad. No hard feelings at all. I just screw up so often that I knew I would have felt AWFUL if I had missed something and my books (that I couldn't find on the shelter tab) had cost us points! That's why I kind of freaked out. No problem that they had been replaced. :)

I'm READY! Thanks, Teddie. I have NO problem with my books being removed/replaced at all. I just wanted to make sure that's what happened. With my brain, I was not positive and thought I was missing something. LOL (If you've worked with me enough, you'll know what I mean!)

It looks like several of my books that I had for the shelter tab have been replaced. I only have ONE book now to read for the shelter, correct? I always worry that when someone moves my books and doesn't let me know then I think I might've messed up somewhere. One thing I wouldn't do is plan on a book and not do it without letting my team know. I am having issues with my computer (looks like we have to get a new one) so I am borrowing one to post my books now. I still have 2 days unless I am wrong. It appears that I only had my nature book, so I THINK I am finished for the mini. Please let me know if that's incorrect and I am missing something. IF anything else goes wrong, I will message the captain again.

Thanks, Teddie :)

Originally it was placed as a #24 so we could build a higher wall, but I figured maybe the cap/co-cap worried I wasn't getting it done. I'm OK that it was moved but just wasn't sure if it had been moved elsewhere. I'm okay with moving it to replace it for The Clinic. I'll do that now. Thanks for the idea. :) I think I'm going to move 2 other books not being used for the mini-to round 3. But I'll wait just in case.

UPDATE: I moved it but the date on the Shelter tab went through with a funky number instead of the date. lol

I added my book I read for the WALLS The 24th Hour, but I don't see it on the Shelter tab.

Just finished and posted a 457 pg. book.

Thank you so much, Melindam. It's actually a long recovery process. She will need to have an ankle replacement after she reaches a certain age. I think 50+ and right now she's 46. She's been through so much after having her ankle crushed in a car accident YEARS ago! It was the other person's fault and she got some $$ for it but certainly not near enough. I'm not even sure it was enough to cover her out-of-pocket cost over the years.

LOL Sounds like my kind of vacation!

I'm planning lots of reading time by the sea when not swimming. :)

I have started ..."

That sounds like a good one and I'm pretty sure there's likely very few people who've never heard of Mt. Saint Helens! I'm going to look into it and tell my daughter about it. The one who had surgery on her foot/ankle last Monday LOVES nonfiction. It's her favorite genre!

Thank you, Melindam and Sophie! I’m sorry to be a PITA. I should keep track of the books I add because I know some about spreadsheets but not nearly enough. I hate to keep asking questions but you guys are so gracious to me. Thank you!

Stephanie, I thought I had posted my book The Expectant Detectives but I don't find it unless it's hidden. So I added it on the last line just in case. Am I losing it? (Never mind. I already know the answer to that!) Just let me know, please.

And we have to have our books for the minis by the 15th, right? Round 2 only has 4 days 11 hours left, so if we have more books than we can finish within those 4 days for the mini, can we move those to round 3?

Suzanne, we definitely have a fantastic team!

Can we use a #24 or is that too high?

Oh, YAY!! Thank you!

Can we use a #24 in a series? If so, where should I put it? The 24th Hour

Also, I may have messed up. I put You Can Hide for one of the mini but already started it prior to today. I think we have to wait until July 1 to START reading for the mini tasks, correct? If so, I'll add another book in its place.

I can definitely add a series book or 2. What #(s) do we still need?
