So it's anything Team Mercy has read right not just for this challenge?

[Berit☀️✨]

I think they have had to have read it in February, even last February? I really need to reread the rules :-)

Berit☀️✨ wrote: "How did you like this? I've been debating it :-)"

I liked it well enough. It was a quick read. My only problem was that I kept comparing it to the BBC show. I wish I had read it before seeing the show. I'd have probably enjoyed it a bit more.

Oh books they've read in the month of feb? or added in feb?

Lol as do I Berit.

[Aricia]

Oh dear... The rules are really confusing me. :P

[Carrie]

Hoping to have another book finished tonight.

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, and I really don't want to search through people shells trying to figure out when they added books, UGG!

I'll see if I can come up with a simple breakdown and then we can tackle it that way. Give me a little bit!

[Berit☀️✨]

Thanks for doing that :-) I need to bookmark this.....

[Nichole]

I don't mind browsing shelves, so I'll be happy to focus on the top part. As long as I can find something worth reading that is, and I'm sure I can. I'll even keep an eye out on things for anyone else, if you want me too. Like I know Berit likes Romance and Abbie hates it, lol. Favorite authors, genres, or such I'll try to gather up for people. Unless of course, you like to browse too :)

Part 2 is easy but it is only 15 books. I don't know if it would work better for us to claim spots or just slap 'em where they go as we finish them. I'll let you guys work that out since I'll be focusing on Part One.

Does this help any? Do you have any more questions? Do you like my hair? :D

[Aricia]

Thanks Nichole! You're a lifesaver! *swoons*

[Nichole]

I just want everyone to remember that this is a game and meant to be fun! These are Bonus points! Do we like Bonus points? Heck yeah! But it is meant to be fun, mmkay?

[Berit☀️✨]

Love your hair, I don't mind looking at what everyone has already read this month, but I don't want to go back in the past, LOL
I say maybe just pick a task as we go? Like my current book would actually work for a couple or more of those, not that it will count, but I'm sure I will read others like that :-)

[Berit☀️✨]

Also, this is completely off-topic, but I am a Verizon customer of over 17 years and they now have unlimited data and it dropped my bill $70!!!

[Nichole]

Hi K~Terror!!



Be prepared for a gif off! Abbie, V Nerd, K~Terror and I are playing Bingo together and we have 5 pages of gifs :)

[Eldarwen]

Lol - you have to link me to that thread just so I can look at all the gifs ;-)

[Nichole]

Wow!! That's a huge savings! Now that's a good day!

[Carrie]

I shall do my best with this mini challenge. I'm hoping they have read something I like, want to read and have a way of getting.

[Berit☀️✨]

Well keep in mind I have seven phones on my plan, but yes it still is a big savings :-)

[Carrie]

[Nichole]

Abbie..., Laura from MT reads some thrillers, just an FYI :)

[Nichole]

Update!

To give more flexibility, we will allow the book to be on any shelf (not just the read shelf) provided the "added" date is in Feb of any year

This is for ...

❤ Read up to ten books your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year for 8 points each (up to 80 pts.)

and gives us more options :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Can you captains keep complaining and perhaps get it to that we can read any book on the red shelf or any other shelves no matter when it was put on, thanks I'd appreciate that ;-)

[Nichole]

LOL! I already tried for series substitutions to no avail. But any book on their read shelf would certainly make things easier!

I'll have one finished today and then I can start on this!

[Nichole]

[Nichole]

Just about finished with my audio that I can't use for the mini challenge :(

I'll be starting with on audio and reading . Both have been read by Laura this month, so that's 20 points! I made a list of books and will try to read as many in as I can. Maybe I can knock out some of the shorter ones....

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I decided I am not reading any books during the mini-challenge, so that Team Robert can't get any points.

[Berit☀️✨]

That is a fantastic strategy ;-)
Nichole do you want to message me the list that I can read from, if I can find something I will definitely read it, :-)

[Nichole]

Sure, I'll do that in a bit :)
