Oh nevermind! This book doesn't qualify - it's a comic and the word count is only 8,333. Needs to be 30K+

@Priya - where is The Deep Dark set? I see several latina tags and it says desert community. Wondering if it might fit in the itinerary

@Sam - the edition you have on your TT shelf for The Maid has 304 pages. You entered 385 pages in the spreadsheet. Please update whichever one needs correction.

Team, we are almost to the end of Month 1. We have roughly 1 day and 17 hours to go (countdown - https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...)

1. Please update all your month 1 read books ASAP, and finish any books you were aiming to have read for month 1 as soon as you can. This way, they would count towards this month's cap :)

2. Unread books will automatically roll over, no need to delete them from the sheet.

New Tasks:
Read a book with a map (usually found in the front of the book)
Read a book which has the main location (setting) on the Australian continent

I was able to spell out the cheese with our read books. We are out of Zs though, might be helpful to read a couple Z books

Oh Silje, if you start reading way of the kings, I’d love to buddy read with you. That’s definitely a book that needs company lol

@Bernadette - yes, I think it’s a good idea to finish the A book with the Q author and move any other books you read to reserves. The O spell out also fits the cap this month, correct? Wasn’t sure if you’re saying the cap will be met with the O and/or A.

@Jackie - are you signed into your google account or whatever email you used to request access?

Yeah, force of temptation can go into reserve :)

Time travel please - We have a long way to go before the next itinerary is finished, so Lebanon can wait. Thanks Ashley!

I don’t think so. All examples the mods quoted had RL carnivals. If we’re really struggling to fill the task, I can ask. But we’ll give it a couple days to see if anyone finds a book they’d like to read.

Jackie, did you figure it out? I just checked your shelf, and the book version you have on there is 304 pages. We are okay to use that.

I've hit my monthly cap +5. So if anyone would like to read (in June) for the 2 tasks I've claimed, feel free to do so!

@Namita - we would add books to "Reserves" ONLY if we exceed our monthly book cap. You've a long way to go :) Do you mind moving The Beast's Beguiled back to the main tab please? Even if we don't have a mini task open for the book, we'll use it for page points.

New tasks:
Read a book with MPG Non-Fiction
Read a book with a famous landmark on the cover

@Priya - For The Obelisk Gate, the edition you shelved has 410 pages whereas you have 448 pages in the SS. I've updated the SS to 410, but let me know if you shelved the wrong edition. You'll have to update the shelf and I'll update the main sheet.

Cool :) books that haven’t been finished will be automatically rolled over anyway. So you’re okay to leave it in, if you’d like.

Tricia, and everyone else that has books on reserve:

I've added a tab called "Reserves" to the planning sheet. Please add your reserved books to the tab. Be sure to add these books to your TT shelf and note any tasks they can be used for, including spell outs.

No, for mini 2 we cab use banked books. If this book wasn't assigned to another mini, you're okay to use it for this task. Thanks!
