copying over here for easier reference:

looking to finish strong with:
S - Cat (Her First Dance, author Suzanne)
Y - Marie (You Had Me at Hello, title)
B - Cat (Girls of Slender Means, char Baberton)
I - Melinda (I series)
L - Elena (I Hunt Killers, author Lyga)
L - Sarah (Rear Garden, char Leslie)

The alternative name that could work is KINGSLEY. basically, I'm going to keep agile to handle whichever books you choose to read :)

Still waiting on a timer...

ALT:
K
I - Melinda (I series)
N - Cat (Her First Dance, char Nancy)
G - Sarah (Gervase Phinn etc etc, title)
S - Cat (Girls of Slender Means, author Spark)
L - Elena (I Hunt Killers, author Lyga)
E - Sarah (Rear Garden, char Elizabeth)
Y - Marie (You Had Me at Hello, title)

Sarah | 2131 comments I finished one this morning. I think it has an L character - but I'll check when I report it. Also got a G or P book that I hope to finish today - not very helpful letters. :(

Hoping to get through as many as I can manage.

we have a countdown timer!

midnight London/Lisbon time tomorrow!
7pm East Coast tomorrow!

all completion posts need to be on the thread by then, or the book won't count (Katie & I get a couple of days to get everything straight on the spreadsheet after that.)

if anyone is planning on reading the Kate Daniels BOM, the deadline is for the book & Questions to be finished & entered onto the sheet by midnight Sunday (i.e before the Captain's Cut-off)

read, my lovelies, read!

Melindam | 8289 comments I can do another I with the next book in the series. Will finish by 2morrow afternoon.

Great to have a countdown! *reads reads reads*

Melindam | 8289 comments I will finish Kiss Me Annabel (Essex Sisters, #2) by Eloisa James

with character Imogen Maitland by early afternoon and will report.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5922 comments I will finish mine this evening UK time and report

excellent!

So, I have submitted Lucius & Dudley, and am now filling out Sybill (waiting for the preannounced books to be reported!) and, for the moment, SEAMUS - I've filled in the SEA already...

EDIT: change of plan: trying for KINGSLEY. K&I only ones without a book against them...

EDIT: or, since Sarah sprung a U on me, and as everyone is reading SO hard today, might even try for a couple....


message 1160: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments I'm trying to finish the new Ilona Andrews, but don't count on me. I rushed through those previous 2 for the TWT because I knew time would be scarce this week.

You guys have been a great team! Hope you US folk have a great holiday weekend!

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
you guys have a holiday weekend?

have a fab one, everyone! :)


message 1162: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Yeah, it's Labor Day on Monday. A nice 3 day weekend for a lot of people. :)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
You guys have been an awesome team, I've had so much fun!

Now, Katie! read that book! I want the I! or the K! no.... I neeeeeeeeeed it! no pressure!
Emelie, you can beat Song of Solomon, I know it!

everyone else: give me your books! I want the letters! with Katie's I, we'd only (hahahahaha!) need an F, V and O or N to finish off VERNON & FILIUS (assuming everyone else finishes the books they have planned).

EDIT: in fact, if Katie finishes Magic Triumphs we could do CORNELIUS and not need any extra books...

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
oh! Katie, I realised - if you are going to answer the DQs for Magic Triumphs, you have until the extended deadline to finish, post & the book to the sheet.
i don't think you get the extension if you don't answer the Qs though.... but, not too much extra work for 20 extra points??

Marie's seeing if she can read the F

I think I can cover the N/O.

anyone able to get a super quick V done??? *hopeful smile*


message 1167: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Ok, I'm not going to get this one done (mostly because I want to do a more thorough read rather than speed through it...), but I did manage a re-read of Magic Gifts. Finished about a minute ago.


message 1168: by Emelie (new)

Emelie | 415 comments Song of Solomon finished!

I've loved being a Diamond with you. Great job everyone! I won't be able to finish any more books before the deadline so I'll cheer on you that'll try!

That's just as good! and I'd far rather you enjoy the last book than speed read it :)

Fabulous! that's all our tasks done! High-fives & back slaps all round, chaps!

Amy the book-bat (batkisses) | 914 comments I'm trying to get Everland finished before time runs out. It will be very close. I do have some of the DQs finished already, so I hope I can beat the clock.

Cat (cat_uk) | 10094 comments Mod
With a bit of reorgansing of the books in characters I've managed to use all our titles for characters, with no negative points! :)

We did awesomely well this challenge, thanks all, and see you in the next challenge :)


message 1173: by Emelie (new)

Emelie | 415 comments Awesome, Cat! Thanks for being a brilliant, engaging, encouraging captain! I hope I get to be in a team with you, and the rest of our lovely Diamonds, again in the future!

Thanks for all the fun!
