Don't feel bad about not finishing your book! We did great without it, and it gives us one more for this week.

No problem, I can remove it. I just saw it was listed, so I added it to the main list.

I have to O books that I am working on right now. I also went and put a few A audiobooks on hold, so I should be able to cover one of those.

Yes, based on the captain's thread, you divide the word count by 250 (for number of words per page). Your books comes out to 180 pages doing that.

I'm sorry, but my alter ego Book Ninja had removed Children from the official wheel as it is too hard for page counts, so your new genre for week 4 is Biography. I hope I caught you before you got to the library.

It was and still is. I'm still visiting my folks, just don't have to go around and visit everyone else. I missed books :P

Are we starting reading next word earlier or it's just so Karla knows what to take with her?

That's good.

Just for Karla to take books with her, so no early reading of next word.

I will update the list, then let you know.


message 394: by Karla (new)

Karla Update: We have finished round two and have four books done in round three. I have moved all of Catherine's books down to round four because she said she is having a rough week.

Danielle, if you want to read a book that fits a couple of the following letters, that would be great: R, A, and M. If you want to read a P book, I can change my book to an M or A.


message 395: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5752 comments Ok, I'm almost done with The Distance Between Us which will work for R or M with characters Ethan Mallory and Rhett Solomon.

No, you can stick with your P book and I'll look for R, A and M's tomorrow.

The P book is finished. It can qualify for M and A too, so I was just saying, if you (or anyone) have a P book they want to read, I can always switch my book where it's needed.

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5752 comments Ah ok. I'll see when I decide what to read tomorrow.
