Thanks for clarifying that for me. :)

So for the BOM I do not add it to the mini-tab, or did I misunderstand?

OMG, Cecily, me too!!! I LOVE a true psychological thriller too!

Question: if we are reading a BOM, do we also put it down on the main tab and/or mini-tab or just the BOM?

I can volunteer for DQ's or as a backup, but it would need to be June 18, 19, or 20 since I'll be on vacay prior to that.

Cool, thanks, Sophie. :)

@Marty, I noticed that you put a book down as finished yesterday for the mini-challenge. Just wanted to make sure you meant to put it down because the mini-challenge books have to be finished between June 1 and June 15. If you already finished it, you can't use it for the mini. At least that's how I interpreted the directions.

That also answers my question for 3 foods then. lol

Sophie wrote: "They just have to be finished after 9 UTC on 1st June so books you are reading now could count."

Good to know!

Thank you.

Can we use the same book in the regular tab and the mini-tab, or will all the mini-task books be separate?

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm missing something. lol I don't know that you need to remove your books. I just never paid attention to that tab until I started looking for my read books that I still can't find.

I'm not seeing a "plus button." Can you tell me where to find it? the only PLUS I see is to increase the font size. I found an error but still none of my read books are there when I click up or down. Sorry to be a pest but I didn't know our books would be moved and I'm not sure I had added my categories to my last book and wanted to finish it if I didn't. I was able to remember my books that I read though and added them to my shelf.

Also, what is the template-round tab for? I see that Cat has 4 books on it. Is it a tab I (we players) need to worry about/add to?

Where did our "READ" books go on the SS? I forgot to add them to my own shelf for this challenge, but I just added them.

Oh, don't even talk to me about ever-increasing TBR shelf! lol I'm right there with you! lol

Good morning, everyone. I am starting my first book but have a lunch date with one of my daughters, so I won't finish it until tonight. Excited to start with Just for the Summer

I am really excited to start this one! It should be fun, especially since we have such a wonderful, communicative team. I sometimes can't get on for a day or two if I am watching my grandchildren, but I will be on most every day but maybe not a bunch of times of day.

Yesterday was too fun and special. I have 3 daughters and 2 sons, but only my girls live here locally. I live in the central valley CA, one son lives in So-Cal and the other lives in Oregon, both about 345 miles from me but in opposite directions. Anyway, yesterday morning two of my adult granddaughters made brunch for me and their mother (my daughter, Heather). Fantastic cooks! Scrambled eggs, bacon, fried potatoes, salad with homemade dressing, and a delicious croissant/berry dish fresh out of the oven!!! Yummy!!

Then I went to my other daughter, Becky's house and 5 of her 6 children were there. One of her daughters lives in Southern California (SoCal) so she couldn't be there, but we had a delicious BBQ: carne asada, chicken, corn and potatoes but I skipped dessert since I'd already had the croissant berry dish earlier. Then we played Taboo, adults against the kids. OMG! The kids went crazy trying to get each other to guess their words. lol The I got one word that NOBODY knew, not even my daughter. Nobody had ever heard of the word colander. Guess that dates me? lol But we laughed, cried tears, belly aching laughs! Too fun. Gotta love big families! This week I'll be going out with my other daughter, Kim for breakfast or lunch or something. Sometimes we all get together and other times we split it up like this year, but both are fun.

I told you all about my grandkids and greats, etc. but never mentioned my nieces and nephews. LOL I won't bore you BUT I did just find out that I am getting another GREAT nephew in October, due on one of my daughter's birthdays. :)

I live in California and have been to the CA Redwoods several times and the trees are awesome in the literal definition of the word. So beautiful and a sight to behold!

How awesome! What do you do for Delta? And what mini-challenge? Did I miss something?

Enjoy him as much as you can!!!! I lost my mother in 2008 and my father in 2012 and I miss them ALL the time!!!! But I was blessed enough for them to have lived until 81 and 89 respectively. But when they pass, it's very difficult! :) Especially on Mother's/Father's Day and their birth dates, at least those are the hardest for me.
