Back from spending time with friends at Powells Books. Didn't get anything since money's really tight right now.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

OK Ceroth - template in place

Rosa you need more work for your template:

Checking in:

Empath (The Empath Trilogy, #1) by H.K. Savage by H.K. Savage H.K. Savage

Genre: Fiction/Fantasy
Number of pages read: 20% (Kindle)
Time read: 45 minutes
Location: AZ,MST
Books completed: None this checkpoint-1 total


You have the citation at the top which is good.
Your genre is in - good
Start page - missing - you need to figure this out by going to a print version of your book on amazon for example and looking up the table of contents with the page numbers and figure out the starting page of the book or chapter or section
Finish page - missing - same as above - but figure out the finish page
Total pages Read - missing - figure how many pages you read during this time period
Time Spent Reading During Timeblock: good
Location/Timezone: - good
Books Completed - none this checkpoint is fine but you need to
add the full citation for the book you did read and complete - book cover, author's photo and author's link

Rosa I have to do the above for my audio books and this is easy to find out - just look at print copies of the books - not the kindle or the audio versions and go to the cover and look inside and go to the table of contents page and you should be able to figure this out. It is easy.

[Christopher]

Template Needs More Information - just needs some updates or weeks and then I can move it to the successful column - needs required template info or some quick fixes

1. Rosalinda - Charleston, South Carolina - EST - template needs help - message 23 - incomplete template and it is 2:57AM - way after Midnight - you can come and finish it when you are up - Start and Finish pages, Total # of pages read during time period, total time read during time block, books completed (yes, no and how many) - full book citations for all completed books.
2. Doris - Kusadasi - Turkey - EEST (UTC +3.00) - you need to add the citation for the second completed book which was the one whose title began with Heroic Campaign - see your message 6

You need the start and end page and you also need your location/timezone which is also missing.
9. Jill - West Virgina - EDT - the book completed needs a citation at the bottom
10. Glynn - Florida - EST - Glynn minor issue - you forgot the timezone

Folks check this list and make sure you are on it - if I missed you let me know and I will check the thread and add your name. It is unintentional.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

OK Kristen I will take a look and get back to you on this thread so circle back tomorrow to do any updates if still necessary and if you are done for the evening and morning - you would move from 4 to the check out thread which is 7 - I give folks until Noon to get that done because those are the tallies so you can get some rest and sleep first.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Folks, there were more issues on this Check In than on any other - I attribute it to everybody getting a bit tired.

Just go back in and fix things up - if you need some help or do not understand what you did wrong or missed or what needs fixing - just contact me here or via PM.

We are always here to help.
