spreadsheet is updated thru post #101...we are missing S,I& R for the first reading...ive got the genre & the R covered hopefully can work on the other 2 by tomorrow.
Sallie, I will definitely have The Suffragette Scandal done by Thursday/Friday so that's the S done.
I'm halfway through a book with an I character. Will have that done this week.
*Looking around and I see my buddy Renee* Hi Renee LOL *waves*
Hey I am reading "Silence", will finish it by this weekend...Letters Covered
Title: S
Characters: P, Patch
Hi everyone I have updated the spreadsheet thru post #109
Home again. Red eye flight, going to bed now. I finished The summer we came to life on the plane.
I finished the genre book:
, 07.17.2014
Countdown to the end of week one: 3 days, 3 hours & 13 mins.....
Sallie, I will be finishing the
later on today so I still have time to read a 350-400 page book before the deadline.Is there any particular letter we are short on you want someone to read...
Anything at the moment would be good...im missing R&I but think they will be covered by tomorrow maybe, Ive got a R to finish for the count so anything else would be great dont think we will make a 3rd time thru but y'all are doing an amazing job with covering letters so it wouldnt surprise me if we managed to get a 3rd go in time.
Power nap and I'm back at it. Sallie would you like me to type up all our books and links to bookshelves etc into one post on this thread so you can just link to it when we are ready to submit?
That would be awesome....thought u were sleeping...you are up already?
I got a couple of hours in, but tv and cereal only kept the kids occupied for a little while. They just fell asleep again, but now I'm wide awake. It's nearly lunchtime, so i should try to push through or I'll be all out of whack. I'll put that post together later this arvo. I'll use some of my posts at the beginning of the thread so they are easy to find and we can track all weeks in the same spot. I'll just put the previous week under a spoiler once it's done.
S- Scarlet Letter(The)/Nathaniel HawthorneP-Push/Eve Silver
I-If This is Freedom/Gloria Ann Wesley
R-Rush/Eve Silver
I-Invaded/Melissa Sanders
T- Twelve Years a Slave/Solomon Northup
U-Unraveling/Elizabeth Norris
A-Ashes of Roses/Mary Jane Auch
L-Labor Day/Joyce Maynard
Ok whatever is easiest for you....jet lag is such a bitch. If I switch time zones flying to east coast isn't so bad for me but the west coast to home or Europe to home kills me every time. I try to stay on whatever time zone I'm in so if everyone is up I stay up etc...that's the part about traveling I hate Hope u had a wonderful vacation....

yeah, I had a lot of time this past week and I though it would be a bigger challenge for me to read them in a timely manner.

Erin just put a finish date on them & make sure you have them shelved as read on the shelf you created for this challenge...wow. We may even make 4 times thru. Wow. I'm so excited...awesome job.
Erin, your profile is private so I can't access your wheelathon shelf to verify your books. I sent you a friend request which will solve this and let me help Sallie organise our books. Thanks.
I have edited my first post HERE to gather all our books, shelves etc together ready to submit. Sallie, I juggled a couple of books from the spreadsheet to get an extra book in our first read through. I'll add Erins books once verified.
Ashes of roses and if this is freedom need date read set, thanks ErinAll done, Thanks :)
Updated message 4 with all Erins books.
Finished The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan.Letters in Title: T and S.
My last book this week will be The Wanderer by Robyn Carr.
Letters: T in Title and
R for Author.
Sallie or Renee, Just a check on the rules - can you only use a book once even if multiple categories are covered with the letters? Thanks.
Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "Sallie or Renee, Just a check on the rules - can you only use a book once even if multiple categories are covered with the letters? Thanks."How a "spell it out" works
Spell out the word(s) using the first letter in the book's title, the first letter in the author's first or last name, the first letter in the series name, or the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name. As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word. If your book starts with a number (e.g. 24 Bones) use the number to determine the first letter (in this example, it would be T)
Each book can only be used for one letter. But the book that is used for the genre may also be used for a letter.
Thought so. Thanks for the clarification, Renee.
I got dubbed Loophole Queen in the last challenge. I think you might be Loophole Princess Lisa! Lol.
Well, us Aussies are a tenacious lot, LOL.
I went through all the fine print and if I didn't find the "or" that I bolded, I would have argued that one! Nice thinking outside the square Lisa. Awesome trading everyone! Erin did an entire read through on her own and we are one book off the second read through which Sallie had lined up to finish and halfway through round 3!
Yeah, absolutely great work team! And its only week 1.
Renee - If you dont mind, Im thinking I am going to change the spreadsheet to look something like yours since I think it definitely makes it much easier to see what we have finished & what we are currently reading etc....
Thank you Renee for your help with the organization...my time has been very limited but the list looks great....
Ok once again I have tweaked the spreadsheet so its a lot easier to follow - Thanks Renee for the help with getting us organized once again....whew!!! Im almost finished with the "R" book so we will have 2 reads of Spiritual finished WOW we are an awesome team
nice job team!Sallie, I have a question..In my book First Grave on the Right, one of the character's names is Reyes. Would that be able to count for the challenge?
and/or the setting is Alburquerque, New Mexico..

yes it will - I will add you to an "R" - I saw where you had finished that but for the life of me could not remember where it would fit...I could remember everyone of the main characters except him...how could I forget him? lol
Sallie, do we have to have all the letters read in a round to get the points. I mean for example the third or fourth run through?
Lisa - (Aussie Girl) wrote: "Sallie, do we have to have all the letters read in a round to get the points. I mean for example the third or fourth run through?"No - we have get bonus points if we have all of the letters in our genre filled & then we get 10 points for every letter there after...but we only have to read our genre once - did that explain it ok? Sometimes its hard to think & type at the same time..lol
I have updated the spreadsheet - I finished my "R" book took with Frozen Heat, Richard castle (Rook character)
