Team Terminator

[Corey]

Finished The Golem and the Jinni, amazing book, kind of slow in parts, but really worth the read, a little long. I think next week my strategy will be to find books between 160-250 or so pages so I can get into more books. To give us another O book, I am going to listen to the Outsiders tomorrow, instead of Gathering Blue. We need an R and an O left for our third read through (O mainly as we have a read R in the fourth re-read) in order for our fourth re-reads books to count. I should have no problem reading the Outsiders before the deadline tomorrow.

[CassieV]

I finished up The Proposal tonight. It was a fun, quick read. I'll update the post and then give you all a status update :).

[CassieV]

Ok, here's what we have as of right now... please let me know if I have missed any of your books.

Kaitlin- I'm going through and verifying our books and I noticed you haven't added We are Water to your wheel-a-thon shelf. Do you mind adding it when you get a minute? :) Thanks!

[CassieV]

Alright team, we have a few books left to finish up this week, here's what I have on my list that aren't completed yet:

O- Orion You Came and You Took All My Marbles (Kaitlin)

O- The Outsiders (Corey)

A- Alice (Character) Take Back the Skies (Jessica)

A- Alexa Sullivan Tate (Character) Ignite (Karen)


:) As always, if I've missed anything please let me know!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Finished Take Back the Skies!
And I see that you have added another list, so I can now sneak in The Murder Complex by Lindsay Cummings for C, which I read earlier this week.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Oh! And I also read Shadowland by Meg Cabot a few days ago and was unable to put on the list! It could work for M (either for the author or the series, which is The Mediator)

[CassieV]

We can fit anything in! :) Just let me know and we will make it work, even if we have to move things around. I'll update that now.

[CassieV]

Jessica- don't forget to add these to your wheel-a-thon shelf ;)

Not be a stalker or anything, but I'm adding Elemental because we can use anything finished 7/12 through tonight at 8, so it fits in our time range :). So, if you can add that to your wheel-a-thon shelf as well, that would be awesome.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Okay! Whatever works!
And they've all been added to my shelf!

[Karen ♐]

Finished Ignite

[Corey]

Great job all! Just finished The Outsiders. We just need one more O to complete our fourth reread to count the extra books we have in the fifth list.

Again you guys did great this week. I think we really started this competition strong.

We're still missing Take Back the Skies from your shelf. Please add if you get a chance.

No worries, that's what we're here for!

[CassieV]

Quick poll: Do you all prefer to have both the in thread list of our books AND the spreadsheet, or would it be enough to just do the spreadsheet?

[Fairlee]

both

[Kme_17]

I like both also

[Karen ♐]

I vote for both also

[Kaitlin]

Finished Orion You Came and You Took All My Marbles.

[CassieV]

Got it added in, Kaitlin :)

Works for me :)

[CassieV]

Alright team, the mods have posted our new spell-it-out! We have received URBAN FANTASY for this week. I'll start our new list in place of the old one on the first page of the thread. Feel free to grab as many letters as you like. We can probably fit in just about anything as we have a pretty nice spread of letters. :) Happy Reading!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I'm reading The Jewel by Amy Ewing which can work for one of those A's.

[NBRC Book Ninja]

Week 2

[Karen ♐]

I'm reading When Day Breaks by Maya Banks. Character: Daryl Swanson
Can be either B or S

[Kme_17]

reading For Better, for Worse which works for F :)

[Fairlee]

T0m Schulz-character for T in the Last suppers by Diane Mott DavidsonThe Last Suppers

[Kaitlin]

I'll be reading The Secret Life of Sleep by Kat Duff. It's non-fiction, so no characters to mention. I guess this one has to be an S!

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Finished The Jewel!

[CassieV]

Awesome, Jessica!

I've been out most of the day, but I will update the list in a bit. If you haven't seen the current standings we are in fourth! Great job last week, we're only 30 pts behind the leaders!

[CassieV]

Ok, I'll take an A for Anne of Green Gables.

I've updated the list and to finish our first round we still need U, R, N, N, A, and Y, as well as one that fits the genre.

Hmm, with three A's, I may read through the whole Anne series this week, lol.

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

I started reading Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins. That could work for R!

[CassieV]

"

By the way, if you read something that fits another letter other than the above, still let us know! I can add on the next part of the list at anytime ;)

[Corey]

I plan on reading the Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri and it has a character Udayan. So I'll take the U.

[Kme_17]

reading Along for the Ridewith the character Maggie Neely, so that can work where you need it

[Jessica (Goldenfurpro)]

Finished Rebel Belle!

[Fairlee]

finishedThe Last Suppersso we have the T done

[Fairlee]

reading nightshade so that will fill in the last NNightshade

[Karen ♐]

Finished When Day Breaks. Now reading Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan - Characters: Bree Prescott, Archer Hale. Could be used for A, B, S

[Corey]

I updated the spreadsheet as to finished books, I haven't added the currently reading books.

[CassieV]

Corey wrote: "I updated the spreadsheet as to finished books, I haven't added the currently reading books."

That actually might help separate what's done and not done. I like it :)

[CassieV]

I've added everything up to here. We are still missing N and Y from the first round as well as a genre book.

I'll be heading to the library in the next day or two, so I can grab a UF if we need.

Also, I added the next round to help us keep track of extras as we read them.

Great job everyone!

[CassieV]

Oh, nevermind I found a UF in my stack! Ok, I'll add that to the list...
