For "Most Improved Player" to boot! Good reading!

Yay! Good work! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with :)

It is a big book, and - just under half way through - not gripping me quite as much as the earlier ones did. Which is odd, as Lila is being even more awesome than before.

hopefully a bit easier that Valentines!

St Patrick is Friday 17th - so maybe around that?

I'm probably going to finish A Conjuring of Light next then work on The Secret Place before doing the yellow book I've promised. Thereafter: will check out reverse options and draw 2 options.

finished: Tea with Milk and Murder
1 Mar
fits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, Skip
deets on tracking sheet

and... March has started :)

Except for the colour cards I guess?

**Team happy dance with bells on**

Yay us! and thank you, Emma & Melissa for fab captaining - it's not as easy as you make it look, so thank you for the cheering on & progress updates - makes for a team keen to achieve!
:)

Melissa, you could pause one of your books, if we use Sarah's Leonard for part 1:3, save it for March use?

looking ahead, after all that praise, there's a high chance I'll be reading Delirium in March, so that can be used for one of our reverses :)

I've also paused in A Conjuring of Light, and will finish it in March, so that's a 7 (author VE Schwab) at least (plus 3, 6 & skip)

I'm starting to fill in for the new SRC too, and can add plans to the tracker this evening

oh! got book club choice of The Man in the High Castle, which is 51% red, and with Hawthorne character listed in the the metadata - that works for one of our RED 3s :)

heh, no! you might have an insurrection on your hands! Excellent mitigation of that risk :)


ummm... I might have spent to much time today in writing project documents! sorry about the jargon! ;-P

I'm not at the moment, but can do panic read if necessary

Finished Spencer Cohen, Book One
27 Feb
Pub Feb 16, read by Cathy M

and Yvaine have claimed all their hands, so the max points they can get in Feb is 2005 (hand points) + 320 (max Valentines) = 2325

Max we can get is 2015 (hand points) + 320 = 2335

Robert Langdon, in #2 can beat us by 15 points (their max hand points is 2030)

Augustus Waters, however, I think gets the highest hand points - 2055 (they need four wild/draw 4s to complete) - if they finished them plus the valentines, they'll surge ahead....

does that make THREE of us doing the happy dance?!
