Oooo the one i just finished Beauty Queens could work for some of the letters. I can edit the post to add letters either tomorrow or monday
Ok. I am having trouble with my arcs. I’m 3 for 3 with duds I couldn’t even get into. I have another my Mom just finished and said was good so i’m going to try that one out next. Oy.
It's Canada Day here in my part of the world; I'll be back sometime tomorrow evening!
Hi Newts! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy Canada Day, Laura!! I had fun in Seattle - it was a quick trip but it was great to see my sister. We saw the play Hairspray last night which was fun. It feels like I've been gone longer than I was!
Hi guys!I'll be taking a short holiday trip to Gdansk with my hubby. We will be back on Saturday. I'll update my books when we come back.

Great!!! I 'm working on an I book.

Good morning Newts!I finished a book late last night that I'll post after work!
Urghh, I just had to DNF a book, which I hate doing during challenges because I feel like the time already spent on it is wasted, but I just couldn’t stand the thought of devoting another 10 hours of precious time trying to finish it, especially when I was procrastinating picking it back up. Hopefully my next pick will be much better!

I finished the big book for astronomy.
On the automated Overall spread sheet my Iron and Magic book is in the totals as read but the 30 points for Buddy Read is not listed but it is on the Buddy Page list. Not sure if someone has to trigger that somehow.

I see it on there (line 46). BTW - thanks for doing the BR and getting us the extra points!!!
Happy 4th of July to all our American friends.
Ok, I've finished another "U" book.Are the U's done now?
I can move on to other letters if it is.
Got anything for an " i" while we figure out if the u's are good?
Danielle, Iron and Magic is a buddy read are you up for some comments to get us the extra 30 points?
Laura wrote: "Got anything for an " i" while we figure out if the u's are good?"let me look
I can read Iron and Magic as well!ETA: No I can't, LOL let me look for something else
I' ve got an ask into the captain's group for book
asking if there is dirt to the left of her dress.
What do you guys think?
What about this one? Dirt on the cover?
Finished up another buddy read! I’m reading We Are Okay right now- would that work for an O?

Awesome!
No, not unless there is an "o" character. That's okay we can switch books around.

Yes, it is on that list but on the first spreadsheet OVERALL page (which says it is automated) my BR total should be 60 because I did 2 BRs. I want to make sure we're getting all our points.
I have a book
that I can read for the dirt cover - has a pile of dirt with 2 shovels leaning on it.

Linda C wrote: "I have a book that I can read for the dirt cover - has a pile of dirt with 2 shovels leaning on it."Let me check with the captain's group on this, Linda. Since it's more an implied pile of dirt (it doesn't exactly look like dirt, more like the picture implies it's a pile of dirt) I'd rather make sure - unless you planned to read it anyways.
You know what, I don’t have my points for buddy reads on that first page of the spreadsheet either. It shows up on the actual buddy reads sheet but not the first team overall sheet
Erika wrote: "You know what, I don’t have my points for buddy reads on that first page of the spreadsheet either.

Also, can you tell me the # of the first post you made in the BR - we need to attach a link. Thanks!
Its not showing the points for The Fault in our Stars which is already in the sheet in other places.Let me go look up my post number for Scythe.

On the spreadsheet, row 40 on BR tab, Erika’s name is spelled wrong so that’s why it’s probably not showing up for her on front tab.
Looks like post #110 in Scythe Buddy Read was my first post
