Awesome! I'll get the SS updated in a few minutes.
Alrighty! We have hands 1, 2, and 4 complete. Hand 3 is almost complete, although it has a Wild and I was saving those for last since they are the easiest to fill. We also have some scattered through Hands 5-9 that I'm starting to fill in. Keep up the good work!

Yay! 3 more books to add to the SS! I'll get those added in a few minutes :)I was thinking about cleaning up my GR bookshelves and it got me thinking about crazy or fun shelf names. Do any of you have any fun or crazy shelf names for categories? I have just a couple, not anything too out there because I always forget and my ocdness can't handle that, lol. I always like to see them though as long as I can figure out what they mean.
Like I have...
the-abyss for my dnf shelf
et-phone-home for Aliens
leader-of-the-pack for 1st in series
men-in-kilts for Highlander Romance
I'll probably just go back to my ordinary names but it's fun to see what others have!
Here are some fun ones I have seen though..
beam-me-up-scottie for Sci-Fi
tupping-a-duke for Historical Romance
hot-hero-award for book boyfriends
makes-me-want-to-cut-a-b**** for those TSTL heroines
Anyways, I was just curious if you all had different than norm shelves?
Ysy, Yeam!I didnt get the screen shots cause my daughter was sick, and I had to leave work early yesterday. But I eill try to get them loaded for you all tomorrow.
Alrighty!Hands 1-4 are complete with the exception of a Wild Draw 4 which will be filled in at the end of the month.
I don't have any cute shelf names, I'd probably forget why I named it something cute....should have a couple books to post today, I finished one last night and I should finish another today :-)

Just to spice up the conversation further, what songs have y'all been listening to lately? I've been obsessing over the orchestral version of Sally Goodin. I'm a bit of a classical gal, if I say so myself. Also, has anyone else noticed that we're one of the chattiest groups? Not such a bad thing to have one of the most at. I say we keep it up.

That's just the way I like it! :) I'm actually pretty shy in RL so I tend to get it all out here on GR. It's so much easier to be open and chatty!
As far as music goes... I don't listen to a lot of music because I usually have an audio going instead. However, I have been obsessed with Lana Del Ray lately! And there are about 4 songs that I will listen to over and over again like a teenage girl :P
Summertime Sadness, Video Games, Dark Paradise and Diet Mountain Dew. Over and over and over, lol!
Our Valentine is Team Mercy Thompson!
I'll need to check out that mini challenge, music I really like current stuff for the most part, I'll listen to anything from country to wrap, just depending upon my mood :-)
Ummm.how do we know who our Valentine is?
The 2nd post on each teams thread has a quote on it. Ours is on Mercy Thompson :)
Well duh...I didnt think to look on the first page since we are on page #8.
I didn't think of it either until I saw that Venecia already found hers. I had to investigate :)
I was like where are these people seeing this?However can we fix Roberts Hair before the date?
What do we do with this information? I'm confused, my brain is on trying to figure out challenge overload today ;-)
V & K are over there....so this could be good!I will track this Nicole, cause I am going to write up a kick ass Valentine for them!!!!!
Oh goody, OK I need to go see with those girls have read :-)
Abbie wrote: "We need to Stalk Team Robert-https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., and read their books"Wait a second Abbie, I think our Valentine is Team Mercy Thompson... it says that our "Valentine is not the team name posted in [our] own thread."
Where is the information listed? I see the quotes at the top, but is there more to this that I am completely overlooking?
What???Okay, I m confused, I thought Mercy had us, not that we had them.
Berit☀️✨ wrote: "Where is the information listed? I see the quotes at the top, but is there more to this that I am completely overlooking?"Nichole sent the link earlier, I think. You might want to check it out! :)
Oh, maybe I have it wrong... I was about to leave to run to the store. Let me double check! I guess I was thinking we had to hunt it down...
Okay, yeah.~~Find your valentine and read their books~~
Somewhere in the threads your team Valentine has hidden, so your first task is to find them.
(Please note, your Valentine is not the team name posted in your own thread.)
So our quote for Pride & Prejudice is in Team Mercy Thompson. And Team Robert Langdon is stalking our books :)
Berit☀️✨ wrote: "What do we do with this information? I'm confused, my brain is on trying to figure out challenge overload today ;-)"That's how I feel today! Things are not computing for me. Maybe I should take a break and read my darn book!
LOL! That is how I feel, so we can only earn 30 points for the mini challenge?
Nope! More than that :) Part 1= 31 books up to 215 points (if I can add correctly tonight...)
❤ Read up to five books your valentine team has read this month for 10 points each
❤ Read up to ten books your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year for 8 points each
❤ Read up to fifteen books your valentine team has read that was first published in Feb of any year for 5 points each
Bonus
❤ Read one book that was first published on the 14th of February of any year for 10 points
Part 2= 15 tasks up to 75 points (5 points each)
Each task can only be completed once.
There are 30 tasks to choose from and you can choose up to 15.
❤ Complete all tasks and your team gets a bonus 30 points
So we could potentially get up to 320 points, if I understand this correctly and did the correct math..
Oh, that's where I was getting a 30 points from you get it in addition to the other points, I need to just not think anymore today, LOL
Yes, well I should probably take that advice too, lol. Just as soon as I do this other thing...
Oh, here's a link to Team Mercy Thompson's shelves, in case anyone needs it!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
And their Spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Can we switch to Robert?....dang, its just a bunch of romance readers over there....good luck with that, not happening.I will try doing Part 2, but I think I may struggle with a lot of those too, but I will do my best.
