Keely you’re our hero!!
Thank you so so much for all your hard work, I never imagined what the end of pregnancy would look like and it’s been appointment after appointment, brain fried, fatigue etc etc. I had a stretch and sweep today so highly likely baby will appear in 24-48 hours! Missed their due date but all fun and games.

You absolutely need to go for captain and I’ll happily be your number 2 :)

Thank you all for being an amazing team and sorry I’ve been MIA but keely has led us magnificently! Just had a peek at the standings and we’re still in 1st 🤩

Great work on filling all the tasks everyone. I’m very much lingering in the background only. With 3 days til due date my head is all over the place. But that also means 3 days til the end of the challenge :(
I’m still not getting any goodreads notifications, I’ve tried everything in the settings but nothing is working. Once this challenge finishes I’m not signing up for anymore this year so I guess I can live without them.
Happy last few days of reading everyone

I managed to finish 3 of my 4 books last night! I’ll start some more today and add to the spreadsheet once I’ve decided what they are!

I’ve added my 4 current reads to the spreadsheet. The poppy war can be used for about 10 different tasks so if I need to move it just let me know.
Thanks for sharing Keely, I have 3 working days left and 17 days til due date so im very much lingering in the background and appreciate all the hard work you’re doing to keep the team afloat! I’d be captain of a sinking ship if it wasn’t for you ❤️❤️

I have 4 books on the go and will be starting books 5&6 today. I will hopefully get some finished in the next few days, but I am a serial book juggler!!

The spread books are great, I think I’ve read the first two or three

Well done with March everyone!
Notifications are still glitching, saying no one has posted here in 10 days! Logged out, deleted the app, accessed via desktop and nothing.
So frustrating
Anyway happy reading for April, I finish work in 16 days until next year and I cannot wait!!!

I’ve moved one of your set 4 books, mine only works for one thing and I’ll likely finish it today.

So my notifications are saying this thread hasn’t been updated in 4 days 🤷🏼‍♀️ who knows I’ll just keep coming back sporadically over the next few days

GR is being very glitchy today, not getting notifications for anything. Anyone else struggling?

Thanks for doing all the moves Keely, and adding in the new hands! I’ve got a couple of buddy reads planned for early April so will take two of the overloads, brown and white. Other than that I will be mood reading where I can, and zero pressure. Will add books as I get to them this month.

Oh great I’ll have a look and do some shifting in the morning! Thanks

Does anyone have, or could read for one of the blues I have? I’m reading The Storied Life of AJ Fikry which I can use for either blue 6 or blue Skip, I just don’t think I’m going to get both blues done, or it will be really tight for me if I can.
Klare has the housemaid scheduled which is blue, but I know she’s waiting for the library to come good on that. And it’s down for a reverse which I know are hard to cover

I’ve still got until Easter weekend before I finish work. I’ll get there slowly but surely.
Craft fair sounds great, I love browsing handmade stuff. Wish you every success and you sell more than you buy ;)

I found a quick spaceship book on audible so added to the SS mini. It’s not highly rated but it is short so I’ll give it a go.

Thank you for the update. And thanks for all the work you’re doing.
I’m struggling this month, too much going on at work and then my free time I’m mainly napping. Have a little over 5 weeks left til due day and the fatigue is real.
I should finish my current read tomorrow. I have started one that works for E, I’ll add to the spread sheet, but it’s a Greek retelling so deffo no spaceships.
Will start one maybe both my blue books by the end of the weekend but still have all intentions to have them both done by the end of the month :)
Hope everyone’s well

I finally finished a book yesterday. Having only finished 4 books this month that’s really slow from me. Hoping second half will pick up like last month did. Will start my two blue books before the weekend

Tina wrote: "What can we use for the Spell-Out? Title, author, setting and character as usual?"

You can use the usual UNO options (author's name (first/last), title, characters' name first/last), place name)

For E you can also use the 8th in series option, but B, A, L are not UNO letters, so for those the series number is not an option

Thank you for sharing the mini, Keely. I have been absolutely swamped over here, so much to do so little time. Soo just like February I have had a slow start reading wise, but the second half of the month should pick up. I’m part way through 3 books so I’m going to make progress and just finish them all after the mini.

I interviewed someone and hired them for my maternity leave today, which is only in 5 weeks so that’s a big relief. Hopefully give me some brain space back!

I’m very much on the side of blue, I colour coordinate my bookshelves and this would firmly be on the blue shelf

How’s everyone’s months started? I’m finally making progress in the book I rolled over at the end of February!
