Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!

This looks like a good one! I plan to start it in the middle of August since I have so many books to finish up first. Looking forward to the discussion though :)

Thank you for moving it! I didn't get to it in July :)

I'm looking forward to reading and discussing this book. I've seen the TV movie and some of its sequels and enjoyed them, and now I want to read this. Excited :)

By any chance, do you have any books that might work for a 1980's prompt? I am running behind schedule with my books. No worries, if you don't.

I love The Joy Luck Club!! :)

I finished Showdown at the Mall, which I read for the 90s prompt. It's fewer pages than the book (One True Thing) I planned on reading, but I really needed something lighter today.

ETA: Added it to the tracking sheet.

I will be done with another 1 (or maybe 2!) of my books today :)

Awesome job everyone!!

I finished April Fools and added it to the tracking sheet :)

ETA: I think I fixed it.

Welcome back :)

Hmm, maybe some rearranging could work? I don't know. I don't dare try since spreadsheets and I don't mix lol

Okay awesome, I'll take that one off the need list. Charlotte, please let me know if you want the historical prompt for sure or if you want to leave it open for now :)

We're doing good team!!

I thought I'd make a little list of open spots that still need to be spoken for. Please let me know if I'm missing anything or added a prompt that shouldn't be there. I don't know if this helps or not but I tried lol

I just re-read Sabrina the Teenage Witch Since I last read it when I was a teenager, I put it down for the "Book read when younger" prompt :)
