Hi Newts
RL is a little busy at the moment. Sorry. I'm away this weekend and next. I finally finished a book and posted that. I left work today early with a searing headache and was down and out all evening. I'll spare you the yucky details.. but at least I'm upright now and ready for more meds.

I'll take the task - read a book with the word "song " in the title if no one has claimed that.

[Laura]

We can't get points for any other tasks until these are completed. The Mods have updated the rules a bit, so any books we read from 8/1 are eligible for any tasks, but we really need to get these done first. Please check the books you've claimed, and if you aren't going to read that task, let me know so we can open it up to another player.

Here is the link again for our planning spreadsheet - you can see what's open under the TWT tab: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

You can add your read books to the Book Detail tab and also claim tasks - if you don't have access just request it and I'll add you. Let me know if you have any questions.

[Kim]

It will be awhile before I finish my "troll" book. Looking into next week. Please, please, please if someone finishes a book that works for this, use it!

[Claire]

I am trying to finish asap, but having too many things, not really succeeding. For me the tasks with 7 would be done by tuesday. If someone is quicker, no problem. Please take it.

I’m now starting part 7 in a series.

[SandyL]

Thanks for the updates @Kim and @Claire.

If anyone reads a book that fits an uncompleted task, note it in your post. And remember - we've got lots of stuff going on so your book will be used for something even if it's not the original reason for reading it.

[Kim]

I'm reading and not really feeling it. It's long. Has anyone read it? Should I stick it out or abandon?

[Sassafrass]

I'll be done my last book in less than 30 minutes.

[SandyL]

I haven't read it, but if you're not liking it and would normally dnf or put on hold until a better time, then go ahead. We can find another book with troll, Kim. It's one thing to suffer through a short book for a challenge - no reason to do it with a long book!

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Kim wrote: "I'm reading and not really feeling it. It's long. Has anyone read it? Should I stick it out or abandon?"

I love that series. But if you’re not feeling it, don’t suffer. As you said, it’s a long book.

[Kim]

I need a book with aliens for another challenge anyways, so I guess I'll try to stick it out. I usually like Kenyon's stuff.

[Laura]

My book that I completed last works for the 5 word title but I didn't add that as Erika had claimed that task.

[Erika]

You can go ahead and use it. I havent started mine yet

Absolutely! Loved it. ( and so much better than my call!) -Bahaha -she called again but I was sick last night and so wiped I didn't answer.

I’ll have to add this book to tbr.

[SandyL]

Now you have to tell Danielle your story, @Laura!

Danielle, I know this is your kind of story! I highly recommend it to you.

lol... Ok, here is my story that I told Sandy earlier this week. True story!
I was out bowling Monday night getting ready to leave and do a taxi kid pick up. (9:55 pm) As I 'm collecting my bowling balls my phone rings and I answer. I say hello again and again and she says whos this. I half snort and tell her you called me so who is this? She starts to get a little emotional and says I just want to know the name of the person who keeps calling my boyfriend's number. I snort and say well ; not me. She 's starting to get angry and spouting off and I hang up on her.
I thought she figured out she had the wrong number because she didn't call back but she called last night while I was sick and I didn't answer.
I was telling Sandy... difficult to be me when my love life is non existent.

After hearing my story Sandy recommends this book to me because the main character calls a stranger and tells him off for hurting her best friend. Its so much better than my telephone call.
Anyway after my phone call experience this was a must read for me and I'm happy I did, as it was a HOT, sweet, romantic HEA!

[Sassafrass]

Great story, Laura! I really liked that book too!

[Sassafrass]

I just finished a book and posted in read books. Captains, you can let me know if you think it works for a large battle or not. I just interpreted it differently LOL

[SandyL]

I like your interpretation @Sassafrass! I know during the classes Sonia was looking for creativity - hopefully that still works because I think this is great! What do you think @Laura?

[Laura]

Yes, very creative Sassafrass. We can always take it to the captain's group. They also love creativity!
