Mikayla I moved Divergent to I so we could put Dorothy Must Die in D and Beatrice's Thief in the blank space :)

holy crap did you guys see the team scores? Only one point between us and Marmalade

I saw and then pushed through Eragon. Hopefully can get Restore Me up today for a bit more cushion!

Mikayla - it looks like Sarah didn't give you points for Children of Blood and Bone or the buddy read. You can just add some details for your review and three more comments to the BR and then just tell her you updated them both and she'll add the points! That'll put a lot more space between us and Marmalade! I'm keeping it yellow on the spreadsheet so we don't count it accidentally yet.

[Eesh]

I finished Ironside (will post review tomorrow) and I'm reading 'Bird and Sword' and 'Ersatz Elevator'.

Also, since we're pretty close to finishing the first round, I was thinking about the second one. If we focused more on the letters that have more points, I'd be easier to keep the lead. I already have books that could fit for Q and X.

[✨ jami ✨]

I just finished Now I Rise and If I Tell You. Now I rise is a BR so theres some good points there

I'll put my review for one up tonight and the other I'll do tomorrow

I started and I'm just over 50% through

I agree! Working on the letters that give most points is definitely the smartest move

And buddy reads!

[Michelle]

Hey guys! I just wanted to apologize for not ghosting on you. I hope the spread is working for ya & it's gonna be there for whenever you need it. Anyway, sorry again! (:

[Lane]

Mikayla wrote: "Would this The Young World fit anywhere on the spreadsheet?"

Can fit into O - Overlevers

[Beatrice]

Finished . Currently reading

[Ari ☾]

Sorry for ghosting a little bit! Getting ready for my spring break trip and work and classes are winding down fo spring break!

[Beatrice]

I'll just provide status updates on my entry for letter E. Btw, I am going to be busy this weekend and next week. I'll try my best to squeeze some reading time.

[Lane]

Going to finish Insurgent and Queen of Shadows hopefully today, and The Queen's Rising tomorrow! Golem and Jinni taking forever on audiobook so hopefully by the end of Saturday!

[✨ jami ✨]

hoping to finish today and I'm 70% through and will hopefully have that finished really soon

[Lane]

Only 21 books not yet in progress/a blank space! I think we can definitely finish the board if we push a little bit!

[Eesh]

I'm hoping to finish three books within the next 24 hours. Wish me luck!

Go Quirks!!

[Beatrice]

Finished

[Beatrice]

i have yet to read -- both are buddy reads

[Beatrice]

P.S. Happy Weekend to all of you! :)

[Lane]

Beatrice wrote: "P.S. Happy Weekend to all of you! :)"

Same to you Beatrice!

Beatrice wrote: "i have yet to read -- both are buddy reads"

You'll have to maybe try and move some things around for these, we're currently out of As and Ts, well and nearly every other letter so I don't know how easy it will be to move things anymore. Maybe save for round 2 when we flip this thing?!

Here are our only completely open spaces y'all:
E-1
N-2
O-1

We should probably try to target read after we finish the one's we've signed up for already? Since we're killing it and all!

[✨ jami ✨]

ok an update

I have like 20 pages of for V left and will definitely have that reviewed tonight. I am also gonna try finish tonight as I only have 4 hours of the audiobook left (but I listen in 2x speed so actually 2 hours) Then I'm going to try read a good chunk of which I'm 20% in

I have that I could read as a buddy and use for M and move Me Before You to either E or O as it fits both both so that could knock that off.
I am going to have a look what I could potentially try read for N

[✨ jami ✨]

Oh I just realised I'm in for an A. If anyone has a buddy read feel free to take my spot as that A is not a BR. I will try find an A BR instead of what I have

[Lane]

Awesome! And our highest letter points aren't even in yet, so we can cover a lot of ground really quickly. I'm going to post our Q now and then start on our Z.

It's still unsure if I'll be able to finish it within the month. I have to finish Kulti and I'm gonna be busy this upcoming week.

[Beatrice]

Feel free to take the spot. :)

[Lane]

Ari, there's a BR for Elantris set for the 27th that you can start commenting on now if you wanted to get double points for that one. You def don't have to, just wanted to point it out :)

[Lane]

Beatrice wrote: "Lane wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "i have yet to read -- both are buddy reads"

Ohhh okay, I thought you wanted to make room for them. No problem! I hope you find some time to relax from the busy week!

Thank you! Will try my best to read and fill in the spots. :)

[Beatrice]

I updated the spreadsheet and completed letter "T"

[Beatrice]

I started -- this should be a quick read. I might finish it in one sitting.

[Lane]

And that will finish E!

I'm actually not going to start our Z (Zenith) tomorrow. Just found a Golden Son version with a Z and it's BR so going so hopefully can get through Red Rising tomorrow so I can get our Z done! Really wanted to get a BR for Z.

Yay!! Go Lane!!

[✨ jami ✨]

okay I've got a BR for that works for A so I will do that one

Thank you! I will check it out. Haven't really done BRs before.

[Eesh]

I think that, at this point, whoever finishes a book should just post it. Like for claimed spots are aren't under 'currently reading'. That way, we'll get to the next round faster and anyone who's spot was taken can just post in that round.

It's so good!"

I've honestly heard so many good things about it I'm excited !

Yeah I definitely think the goal now is fill it by any means possible! Though I still think we should focus on BRs as much as possible.

[Lane]

I updated the spreadsheet where there's now a section for books that are on the spreadsheet but are not in progress for when you take a reserved spot. Just move the book for the slot you are taking to the Reserved for Round 2 section so that person knows their book was moved.

[Ari ☾]

Hi, I know it says Elantris is in progress on my spreadsheet and I’m like 30% into it but I do have my vacation coming up tomorrow! I have a two hour plane ride to get a good chunk into it. But if anyone has any Es with BRs and would like to take the spot by all means go for it if you KNOW you’ll finish it. I am just not quite sure I’ll get Elantris done before March ends. (Visiting my boyfriend)

No problem, Ari. Do you know if you'll finish Crown of Midnight?

[Ari ☾]

I’ll have Crown of Midnight done for sure! @Lane!
(Finishing that one first, tonight/tomorrow morning I’ll have nice chunks of time to read it)

Side note: They need to add a reply button to mobile!

[Lane]

Mikayla wrote: "What letters need to be filled on the spreadsheet?"

We still have one blank for N.

[Lane]

Yupp! Just one N is completely blank and then I guess we can start covering the spots that people reserved but have not started reading yet.

[Lane]

You can always read them and then when we flip the board they'll be ready to post! Also if you look on the spreadsheet you can see which letters people haven't started and then just read those. I think we have a lot of vowels like that, couple As, Os, and Es I can remember off the top of my head

[✨ jami ✨]

Hey all I finished both which are both buddies. I'll put the reviews up later tonight when I get home

I'm currently reading

the only slots empty is two N's so I'm thinking I'll move The Rosie Project to N and claim an E to read as a buddy. But I don't know what to do about the last N so hopefully someone else has a book to fill that with

[Eesh]

Sorry I've been absent for a few days. I managed to finish The Emperor's Soul and Ersatz Elevator. I'll be done with Aristotle and Dante in an hour and I'm halfway through both Torn and The Bird and the Sword. I'll try to put three reviews up tomorrow.
