Wow, 4th place is pretty good. I can believe the junk food kids eat when left to their own devices... Pretty much the same over here 😉
I'm half way through Hollow (trees)
It's a book for young teenagers and there's always something happening.
Also About a third of the way through The Gunslinger which is a re-read and a real pleasure.

I'm making good progress on my books so I should get a fourth one in. I'm going with Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters but it will only work as the free space in card 2 that I know of.
I'm planning to read a police book next, but could do the beach setting instead since Naomi has a police book.And I finished Zoe's Tale for card 2 starts with Z.
I finished The Girls of August and reported it in the reporting thread.I'm starting on my third book, The Water's Edge for police procedural. This is an Inspector Sejer Mystery.
currently reading 4.50 from Paddington. card #2
trains
are we going to move to card #3?or is there any category/ies on card #2 that has to filled first?
We have to fill card 2 first before we move to card 3 .... and yes there are plenty of categories left. Can you not see card 2 on the spreadsheet Anna?
I reported ella minnow pea. I was thinking we could move Lara's free space book on card 1 to author starts with T and then still have a free space left.I will try to read a Debut for card 2 next as well as finish my 1800's book.

Vicki - Debut has already been read
I'll finish my food on cover book tonight and then start a mountain setting one.

OK scratch that. I will attempt to read from an animal's perspective: White Bone: A Novel.
Hi Lynn, I finished my third book and posted it in the reporting thread. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to read now. I'm on my mobile app and can't really see the cards. Do you want me to start on the animal's prospective for card 2 or fill in with something else? If animal, I will start The Art of Racing in the Rain in the morning.
Oh, I just saw Vicki's post from two hours ago about her reading Bone White for animal. I'm confused. Are all the slots for card one assigned and on track? If yes, tell me what you want me to read to help with a spot on card two.
Cherie, I think card 1 is on track. All the spots open are currently being read or have been reported but not yet updated. The only one I'm not sure about is Siriusedward for vampires/werewolves/ghosts. I see your name on Card 2 with family relationship in title, non-fiction and set in US, so I think any one of those would be good. Maybe the first two are the best, as set in US is easy to fill later on if we have to.
You're all reading so much more than expected! Awesome!
Awesome... Yes!

I think I'd struggle to find something for 'family relationships' on audio, but can cover US quite easily.
Is that OK with everyone?
Ok, this is where we currently stand .... Card 1
All categories have either been completed or assigned.
The categories still to complete and who they are assigned to are:
First book in series - Peggy
Vampires, Wearwolves, Ghosts - siriusedward
Set in the 1800s - Vicki
Romance - siriusedward
Is there anyone in that list who thinks they might have a problem completing their categories?
Shout now, and we'll probably be able to do something about it
Card 2
The following categories still need to be completed and note whether someone who has been assigned or not:
Trees on Cover - Annerlee
MC police officer or in service - Naomi
Animal Perspective - Vicki
Special Powers - Lynn
Set in US - Annerlee
Food on Cover - Lara
Free Space - No one assigned
Non Fiction - No one assigned
Person with Hat - Annerlee
Historical Fiction - Anna
New Release - Lynn
Family relationship in title - No one assigned
Mountain Setting - Lara
Planes or Trains - Anna
Once again, please shout if someone feels they won't be able to complete the category.
Thanks for keeping us right Lynn : )
Is Naomi reading for mc police/detective ? (Message 152)
Nice overview Lynn!I'm currently reading 1st in a series and I'm sure I'll be able to finish in time.
Lol, when I counted the number of books we could read based on what people reported when signing up, we ended up with 4 books on Card 2. Now we have only 4 tasks on that card left to finish!
Annerlee wrote: "Is Naomi reading for mc police/detective ? (Message 152)"Whoops, missed that one! Thanks for pointing that out :)
Mikaleigh wrote: "I have a Book for family relationship in the title if i can do that one thanks"Yes that's fine Mikaleigh, you're now down for that.
Cherie - Can you do Non-Fiction?
I listen to nonfiction in the mornings and just started a new book, so can take one if needed: The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play.And last night I started Evan Help Us for mountain setting, as assigned.
Lara wrote: "I listen to nonfiction in the mornings and just started a new book, so can take one if needed: [book:The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play|1..."Great Lara, I'll put you down for Non-Fiction then :)
Cherie, that means you get free space and can read what you want.
Does that mean we can take a glance at card 3... just in case? If so, it might be better to focus on one line (first)?
So as long as everyone can complete the categories that they have been assigned, we will now complete both card 1 and card 2!Please do shout now if you think you'll have a problem. Otherwise, Card 3 has now been added to the spreadsheet!
For card 3, I agree that it would be best to focus on a row or column. So, I nominate one of the following:Row 2
Row 4
Column N
Column G
N might be best because it has the free space and so gives more flexibility. Of course, that means that row 3 would also be good, and looking at the categories again I could easily do nearly any of those.

I think that was police procedural for Card 1.
Peggy wrote: " Ithink that was police procedural for Card 1...."Oh right.
I've abandoned the book I picked last night white bone I don't think i can read any more paper books but I have one more audio in me so I will listen to Dog on It.
So, I can read anything for the free space? I will let you know what I will read and look at card three.
Cherie wrote: "So, I can read anything for the free space? I will let you know what I will read and look at card three."Looks that way Cherie! Though maybe you could do something for card 1 in case siriusedward doesn't make it? Have we heard from them?
siriusedward checked in on 11th Feb saying they were starting their first book. I've just sent a friend's request, and included a message asking how they were doing and to check in on the team thread.
I can start a romance when I get home from work tonight. I only brought my Nook with me, so I am going to start Hero. It is set in Australia, is a 1st in Series, and is Science Fiction, which covers two squares in the free space column on card three, if need and will cover me for the Free Space on Card 2. It is only 221 pages. I might be able to do one more... ;o)
Hi,sorry for being offline..had fever, so wasn't in the mood to check in.
No worries siriusedward. I hope you feel better
I have also started Slightly Dangerous for Card 2,Set in England.How do we check card 2 in the spreadsheet?Can you please tell me..I see only Card 3.
Yes I do,Thanks Peggy.And at least I could read some books nonstop.
I am also reading Scarlet...
Can Cinder be one of the MC here,since half the book is about them...more or less...?
It does have train in the story...with some action around it.. so maybe I can use it for that instead..?
