Team Reading Between the Wines

[Julia]

I have started already, should I just continue then and you use your characters name for U?

[Cecily]

Thank you Rosina for messaging me as I had completely forgot to look this up after I signed up!! I never do that!! I usually read about 4-6 books a week sometimes more, depending on how long they are.
Looking at the spreadsheet is a bit confusing, I will take some time to look around and see what is needed. Also, the start date was May 13 correct? I have read 4 since the 14th so I can add them if they fit anywhere...

[Cecily]

I added a "C" book for the last letter we needed.

[Cecily]

Is there a place we are supposed to record when we have finished ??

I am totally nerdy for spreadsheets so I don't mind adding it. I just wasn't sure if there was a place that let us know that everyone is done. Do you only fill the 3rd tab when you have finished? or to claim that spot? Could we add a Date Finished Column??

[Cecily]

Okay, I added a Date Finished Column on the 3rd tab, and "prettified" things so it is easier to see things at a glance.
I also added a "Points Column" on the first tab so we can keep track as recommended :)
Hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes, I just genuinely find it fun :)

Lol! No Problem! You did great so far!! Sometimes starting from nothing is the hard part!! Editing and changing is easy if you have something to start with!

[Cecily]

Michelle
I moved your book "A Dog's Purpose" to character starting with "A" for the neighbor "Al" as for spell it out you can not use "A," "An," or "The." as the first word in the title.

You are right, I apologize, I did not see the "may" and every challenge does it differently!! If you want to put it back, go for it! I just happened to read it and read it wrong!! My bad!!

[Cecily]

Okay, I also altered the last tab so it is easier to read. When we go to the next location you can duplicate both tabs and delete the filler info and rename that tab so they are all consistent. I hope everyone likes it and it helps! Lots of fun for me :)

I am so sorry but I won't be able to read The Three Musketeers this week. It is such a long read and I am just getting into it.

I will continue on with Outlander and try another one soon.

I had another book that I read that was able to cover "T" so no worries :)

Doing so many things on GR I am always refreshing lol!!

[Cecily]

Twist wrote: "Never mind. It appears Cecily beat me to it."

Do you like what I have done? Is there anything you think should be changed?

[Melanie]

I am going to read Murder in the Woods (Inspector Skelgill Investigates #8) - Bruce Beckham.

I will note down the characters when I can.

[Melanie]

Okay, not a worry.

[Melindam]

Dear All,

sorry to upset the wonderful spreadsheet Twist & Cecily came up with but my Den of Shadows is by author Christopher Byford and not Amelia A.R. :(

[Melindam]

Ahh, ok then :)

[Melanie]

Twist, you have me down for character name L (Outlander - Laoghaire.)

The book I am currently reading and will finish before Outlander has an L character. Can you change the spreadsheet to Murder in the Woods - Bruce Beckham (Character name Lester Fox.)

I am 50% read with Murder in the woods however only 25% read with Outlander.

I changed it for you since I am online now.

[Melanie]

Thank you Cecily. I just figured if I use the one that I have nearly finished I won't be holding the team up.

[Melindam]

Finished The Hidden Icon: Book of Icons - Volume One yesterday.
I will finish the The Case of the Deadly Toy today, so I can possibly fit in another book (King) by Sunday.
I have updated the spreadsheet - also character names.

[Rosina]

Twist...i finished Ghosts of Tsavo May 19...
I can view spreadsheet on phone but not make changes....

[Rosina]

I should be done my remaining books by Sunday.....

[Julia]

Same here, got the first one done! I'm halfway through the second one, so I should be done with all of them by Sunday!

Shall I fill in the characters in the books into the spreadsheet myself or am I posting them here first?

[Julia]

Thanks for the update Twist! I can definitely finish the second one but if you have anything that you read that would cover the letter U, that would be great because then I could skip out on "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer".

[Cecily]

I can read a Lisa Unger novel if needed!

[Cecily]

I have its really quick and since there is no minimum page count I will finish it tonight, I am sure.

[Cecily]

If you would like someone to take over reading your 2nd or 3rd books, please let us know..."

The two extra shifts from work is kicking my butt. I'm almost done Salt to the Sea, but I don't think I can finish the other two books. So anyone is welcome to take over my 2nd and 3rd books. I'll read more next week!

[Cecily]

Twist wrote: "Hey! We're siblings. I am on Luke Skywalker."

Oh awesome!! You guys are kicking ass :)

[Michelle]

I'll hopefully be finished with my book by Sunday. I've had a sick daughter this week so reading has taken a bit of a back seat unfortunately.
I'm in Rogue One for the tower team challenge 😁

Finished The Case of the Deadly Toy and updated spreadsheet. I will definitely finish King by Sunday.

[Michelle]

Finished A Dog's Purpose today. I've also just updated the spreadsheet.
we're all good for this challenge aren't we now? Do I need to choose anything in particular to read next or it doesn't matter for the moment?

[Melindam]

Finished King.

[Julia]

Done with Still Alice :)
Will update the spreadsheet when I'm home!

[Rosina]

Finished

by Sarah Jio

May 20 2017

[Rosina]

Can we carry books over to the next leg? books that were finished before we finished the current stop but before we started the next leg?
Or do the books need to be started when we start the next leg?

Looks like we are done this leg.

[Melindam]

Yaaay! Well done, all of us! :)

Done! We did awesome!!
