[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I do believe we have just about everyone covered for a letter but Im still missing 2 people if they dont check in by tomorrow I will have to let Book Ninja know so we may have new team mates :( but hopefully we will hear something soon -

Skandia~Im working on my book for South Carolina so I should be able to devote my time to our books here sometime tomorrow

[SthTx Dawn]

Howdy teammates. I am here via cell phone . hopefully my WiFi will be fixed on Monday. I have a few books that I will finish this week. Is there anything specific I should read?

[Renee]

Hi Dawn! It doesn't look like we are chasing anything particular at the moment, so any book that can help spell out spititual will be fine :)

[Renee]

We are still waiting on Erin and Sakshi. Did you send them a message or friend request yet Sallie?

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Goodmorning - Im working on that now....

[Renee]

I just finished life after life.

Sorry I can't help more Sallie, is hard on my phone.

What did you think of it, Renee? I've been meaning to pick it up for some time now.

[Renee]

I enjoyed it. It didn't quite finish how I expected. Some good descriptive wiring about living through WW2.

[Renee]

and I also just finished the worst thing I've ever done.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

No worries. Have the same issue when trying to do things from iPhone or iPad.

[Skandia]

I have finished reading The Illegal Gardener by Sara Alexi and here is link to my shelf - wheelaton

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

OK - I have updated the spreadsheet with your finished books & I have also tweaked the spreadsheet just with a few additions...if you want to count something towards in addition to a title let me know that you are counting your letter for a character for the 1st spiritual word I have counted the I,T & L as titles if you have character names too let me know I will put them where they need to for a repeat of the word...we have to finish all of the letters for the 2nd read in order for them to count so please dont hesitate to add something along the way.....
Renee, if you see something I missed on this end let me know & I will add to the spreadsheet since you are on your phone that way you want have to try because I know I how difficult that can be...thanks oodles for everyones help

[Erin]

Hi team, does anyone want to fill me in on anything that I may have missed

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Welcome Erin. Glad u made it. U really haven't missed anything. But would like to know your favorite color. I've posted a link to the spreadsheet I created so we could see what letters were being read & what letters we needed in order to finish our word multiple times. If I'm not available Renee is co-cap & she is ready to help also so if u have questions please ask we will do our best to help.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

In case anyone wants to know how much time for the CST zone...6 days 3 hours 26 mins...12pm Sydney time is 9:00 pm Saturday July 19 still have plenty of time to read,read,read..

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

There was some rule clarification earlier we only have to read SPIRITUAL once...once we have read it the one time, any letters used after that will count for 10 points per letter...but it certainly helps if we do read it more than once since its all for points

[Renee]

My understanding is that each book can only be used once for one letter. It is helpful to list all possible letters per book in case we need to swap them around. We get bonus points for reading a book of the genre (spiritual this week). We also get bonus points for reading all the letters in our word once. Once we have completed the word once we can repeat letters. We need to repeat the entire word before we can repeat any letters for a third time.

[Renee]

Hi Erin! Between Sallie and I someone is usually around if you have any questions. We have been paying planned books worn the possible let's they could cover them reposting when we have finished and shelved in our wheelathon shelf. Sallie is taking everything on a spreadsheet. Between author, title, series and character names is not to hard to find a book that will fit somewhere.

[Renee]

Hey Sallie, the cost two books on your currently reading shelf have characters whose names start with A.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

Thanks which books? I've got the Christie caper with Annie....but i haven't picked the other 2 up in awhile sorry.

[Renee]

I had typed first two but my phone thinks it's smarter than me and changed it.

[Renee]

I just realized we never really introduced ourselves.

I live in Darwin, in the middle right up the top of Australia. It had a tropical climate and at the moment it is the du season which means I don't need the air conditioner on overnight and need two sheets on the bed. I Mattox worth two kids 5 & 3. I work part time in a preschool. I played battleship and uncover it (& my team won both). I'm also the newest mod in NBRC.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Congratulations on being a Mod Renee. You will do a fantastic job with your eye for details.

Winning the last two challenges, YAY, hope you can make it three in a row.

[Renee]

Thanks Lisa. Three in a row would be awesome!

[Renee]

I just looked over my last few posts. Sorry for all the typos, I hope you understood what I meant. Smart phones are not really that smart sometimes!

Hey Renee!
*waves*

How is your vacation going? :)

[SthTx Dawn]

ok..so my wifi was fixed today so I'm back online! Yay! So do we need somebody to read a Spiritual genre book or is that already covered? I'll go on over and check out the spreadsheet for all the goods..

[Renee]

Yay Wifi for Dawn! Mine was playing up for months at home, I was so happy when we finally got it fixed. I think Sallie is planning to read a spiritual book but if you like them and it fits the letters another won't hurt.

[Renee]

Finished The Gospel of Loki.

[Erin]

Thanks guys, my fave color is blue Sallie, and I have one question, does it matter what type of book I read. Does it have to be a specific genre(s)

[Renee]

It doesn't have to be a specific genre, just over 160 pages.
