Excellent!!!! We have finished TWO SPELL-IT-OUTS and are now at 245 POINTS!!!!

Now beginning spell-it-out THREE! All letters are up for grabs!!!!!

Thanks Berit!!!!

Berit --

I went to your "Colorful" shelf and added the 4 books that you have completed. I figured out some of the letters based on the book page but if you could PLEASE send me your details, I'd really appreciate it.

TEAM! WE ONLY NEED ONE MORE LETTER (K) TO FULFILL OUR SECOND SPELL-IT-OUT (but, as you know, any letter will do and I'll just move things around)!!!

VERY IMPORTANT
I will be leaving for California late tomorrow night, which means that starting at 10 am PST SATURDAY MORNING, I will no longer be able to update the spreadsheet. It's my nephew's First Communion, so all 14 of my immediate family members will be under one roof for 24 hrs and if I'm caught even LOOKING at a computer, I'll be stabbed.
SAVANNAH -- This means that YOU will have to add any last minute books to the spreadsheet on Saturday.

We're doing really well you guys! We're at 235 pts and I know we'll only be able to add more in the next couple days!

Our progress this week has been so great!

Friends...I cannot shake this cold/sinus infection/feverish shakes thing :( What is happening to me? It's like permanent exhaustion and itchy misery! Is this what basic allergies are like because if so I'M OVER IT!

THANK YOU SARAH!

WE HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED OUR FIRST SPELL-IT-OUT!!!

Current total: 145 pts

WE ONLY HAVE ONE LETTER TO GO IN ORDER TO COMPLETE OUR FIRST SPELL-IT-OUT AND THAT LETTER IS...

L!!!

We are already doing AMAZINGLY!!! We're at 120 pts and it's only Day 2!!! Let's keep it up!!!

Also, Savannah, I just had an Alice in Wonderland themed Tea Party yesterday for my birthday and...THAT BOOK SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!! How was it????

All the Light We Cannot See is an extremely beautiful novel set in WWII written from the POVs of a blind French girl and a young German boy. The sensory descriptions are stunning -- all sounds and textures and smells because, like I said, the protagonist is blind. Truly a beautiful and interesting take on the classic WWII tale.

The Goldfinch was totally overrated in my opinion.

All the Light We Cannot See just won the Pulitzer and it was AMAAAAAAAZING! I also support Tonyas To Kill a Mockingbird suggestion.

Hahaha! I can't help it I'm a VERY emotional woman. Especially when I'm sick!

I HAAAATED IT!!! It offended me both as a female and as a now sober woman. I found every single character despicable.

Also...Savannah you goon, YOU ARE THE ONE who completed the final I with "The Inn at Rose Harbor" hahaha

Aaaaand we have officially surpassed last week's score! We shall end this week with a score of 295!!!

Anyway

WE FINISHED OUR THIRD SPELL-IT-OUT AND HAVE ONE TITLE TOWARD OUR FOURTH! We are currently at 285 pts which officially ties us with our total from last week! And I know we'll be able to BEAT LAST WEEK'S SCORE because I only have about 20 pages left of The Girl On the Train!

THREE HRS LEFT! LET'S MAKE THEM COUNT!

Perfect!!! All we need is an I!!!!

The color requested for Black Coral cover is BLACK!

That's ok! I can always move some things around!!! Just lemme know as soon as you finish!
