This one was our annual camping trip...in cabins, not tents. ;-) We've been going there for the past ten years. Last month was our cruise."

haha that's the only "camping" I prefer these days. ;P That sounds like fun! And the cruise... I miss the food.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Bea, you'll add anything you finished after the date you signed up. :)

[Veronica]

OMG, there was soooo much food. And all the time! I just don't even get hungry three times a day but I felt if I didn't eat I was wasting money. I've had to hit the treadmill hard since getting back.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I was going to say, I thought Bea had been on your team for months... but I was thinking of Rea... has she been removed from the spreadsheet?... She's listed on your Team Scoreboard with 0 points, still, but I don't see a sheet anywhere...

[Virginie]

I hid her sheet (along with other inactive members') 'cause it was driving me crazy to scroll scroll scroll to get to those I'm updating.

VIRGINIE............

I know it had to be you who hid the sheet :P

Since this is the sheet you guys had fake points on as a joke, last month... the evidence is still there...

I found the sheet using the menu view...

I'm more prone to "graveyard camping" or "corpse camping"... the MMORPG lingo from being on a WoW PVP server 8-10yrs ago... where you keep killing a person as they res back to life... also called "griefing"...

I pinned nefarious purposes to your actions...

Lol

I'm shocked! Outraged, even! I would never, EVER, throw the spreadsheet in chaos just for fun! How dare you even think that of me?

It's good to have a purpose. ;-)

That's how I felt. Worth every pound haha

Welcome, Bea!! :D

[Bea]

Hello dearest Tome Raiders, thanks for the welcome! :)
*brings cookies for all*

[Bea]

So, basically all I have to do is add the data of the most popular editions of my read books into my spreadsheet and it will add up automatically, is that correct?

Also, I have about 40 pages left of The Library at Mount Char so I guess this will not count for the challenge anymore, will it?

[Miche]

Welcome, Bea!

[Miche]

Great job, Veronica!

Yup! You can also pre-enter the data if you want, the points are added only when you fill the 'Date completed' cell.

[Virginie]

I think the rule is that you can add everything you've read since your sign-up. So if you've started the book after that, you can add it.

*shyly look at Niki for confirmation*

[Lena]

Welcome Bea!!!

^What Virginie said.

yay! Cookies!!!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

You'll fit right in. :)

[Virginie]

@Bea: Full disclosure: I'm completely obsessed with the spreadsheet. I took the liberty of making yours a little more pretty than the basic one. If you don't like the colors, want cool stats or anything else, just ask and I'll do it.

Also, I can update your scoresheet for you if don't want to bother. Just post the book title here, and whether it's a buddy-read/challenge book.

I'm very happy to be in your team :)

It does look very pretty, thank you so much! I like purple :)

And thanks for the info Niki and Virginie!

Welcome Bea!

[Diana Stormblessed]

So I FINALLY finished Dead Ever After and Naamah's Kiss. Both were huge disappointments. I'm kind of used to Sookie books being disappointments by now, but Naamah's Kiss was everything I thought Kushiel's Dart was going to be before I read it. It was a eye rolling extravaganza. Such a sad way to follow Kushiel's Mercy.

[Veronica]

Glad I opted out of continuing with Moira's trilogy. I didn't want a world where all the characters from the first two trilogies were long dead and buried.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

My sentiments also.

Smart move. I might not continue with the next 2 books. Over 600 pages and I couldn't care less about any of the characters. And the main character was slap-ably bad. I am so disappointing in Carey.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Don't touch Starless.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I'm glad I made sweeping cuts to my BR list... opens me up to other things...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I did that a couple of months ago... it was liberating.

Well, they can't all be winners. Though, from the comments in the Starless thread it sounds like that's something of a dud too.

You guys already scared me away from that one.

Petrik wrote: "JUST ONE MOREEEEEE "

We are following the Malazan Ultimate Reading Order, so we have to read Orb Sceptre Throne before The Crippled God.

I can't believe it! I have so many emotions invested in this series that it will be hard to let it go. Angela and I are already planning a reread of the main series. :D

[Petrik]

I can only imagine! When did you first start Gardens of the Moon? I'm going to follow that Ultimate Reading Order too but I'll skip the novellas!

[Miche]

I started Gardens of the Moon on February 2017. It has been a long journey, but an amazing one. :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I started Gardens of the Moon in January 2018 and am still reading it, lol. Really liking it though. The problem is that I own it, so it keeps getting set aside in favor of loaned copies and arcs. Sad.

[Miche]

After book 5 of BotF was the turning point from "I am loving it but I am taking my time reading it" to "I am loving it and I can't put the book down".At that point I new most of the characters and the arcs started merging.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'm looking forward to that moment. :)

A year and a half... that's one heck of a journey! :O Enjoy!! You're near the end now!

That's crazy hahahahaha! I do understand though, arcs and review copies take priority over this superrrr longgg series xD

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Lols I find myself not picking it up also if I don't have the concentration to devote at the time. You'll see what I mean. Even so, it still a great read I just need to get on with it.

I listened to Gardens of the Moon at 1x speed for the most part... that's how much I needed to concentrate...
