It looks like we had some accidental deletions on the spreadsheet today - not a huge deal, but please be careful! I went through everyone's challenge shelf and updated the spre..."

I promise it wasn't me this time! Only because I haven't been on GR today. 😉 Those spreadsheets are tricky if you're not on a computer.

I still need to finish Zero Days that I started before the challenge. I am normally a Ruth Ware superfan and I'm just struggling with this one. 🙁

I almost hate to weigh in on The Dead Romantics, but it looks orange to me. 😬

I'll be done with my TBR though, what did I miss???"

That sounds exciting. Congrats!

I've got a combination of spreadsheet and Chrome add-on situation that makes it pretty quick for me to check, but it's a little complex of a set up. I'm more than happy to ch..."

Oh, awesome. Thank you! I don't really mind doing it either, I just don't always have time in the moment and might save it for later. And it would be just like me to check every shelf for every book and then find out there was a secret combined shelf somewhere with moderator tags or something. 😂

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious...is there a better way to check if a mod has read a specific book? Besides just checking each individual shelf for each book. Just making sure I'm not missing a shortcut somewhere. Thanks!

You are not alone! I'm trying to keep up though. Now I'm going to check to see if I used notes or comments. I have no idea! 😂

Just clarifying...the planning spreadsheet doesn't start over when the months change, does it? So if I think I'll read a book some time in the next couple of months, it's ok to add it?

So glad to meet someone else that plans life around hoopla borrows! I thought it was just me. 😂

This challenge hasn't even started yet and I'm creating problems. Briana - will you look at your Fugitive Telemetry entry on the spreadsheet and make sure it looks ok? My dog was asleep on my lap and freaked out about an amazon delivery and I somehow typed a bunch of gibberish in one of your fields. I think I fixed it. 🤦

So sorry!

I'm not sure I'll ever have time to go through everyone's shelves, but I want to read about half of Sophie's books, so I feel like I'm starting there. :)

Thank you!

What color do you think this is? It looks orange on GR. To me, it looks more pink/coral in real life.

Here's my shelf:
Tower Teams

Hello all!
I think this is my third year playing TT, but it seems like each year is a little different, so I'm sure I'll have questions. I'm excited to get to know all of you a little bit through this challenge. I like reading a little of everything, but mysteries/thrillers are probably my favorite. I work as a public librarian and am actually headed there now. I'll pop back in with a shelf name later today--just wanted to say a quick hello!

It is so hard to guess! I'm all over the place. Sometimes 5, sometimes 12. I picked a number in the middle. :)

Hello! I participated last year, but don't remember much. 🥴
Your genres are usually my go-to books as well. Although, I read a lot of cozy mysteries while at home over Covid and I have stuck with several of those series.

Edit: Ohhh... I just saw post 112 on this thread. Let me read through that.

I participated last year, but I'm not remembering exactly how the page numbers fit in. I vaguely remember feeling guilty because I mostly read standard length books (like around 300 pages) and feeling like longer books would be better. Is it more beneficial to the team to have people that read the long ones? I might read Fairy Tale, so I guess that's one long-ish book. :)

Thanks everyone!

I'm not a writer, so I'm grateful when others take on the creative tasks. Well done!
