[Carrie]

Ask Sarah to move my The Perfect Family to New Hampshire - green on cover then you can put it in Missouri - character beginning with M

[Tati]

Now that the game has ended, back to review writing

[Carrie]

I'm going to try to get some things done today but will be listening while I do so hopefully I have another when I get back online.

[Ashley]

Do you guys think I can use for snow on cover? It has the word but not an actual pic of snow

[✨Skye✨]

https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/... This version kind of looks like the background is meant to be snow, best to check with Sarah though.

[Ashley]

Okay I found and N & C character and a green on cover one, if I get through those and we still need the snow one I will check with Sarah!

[Tati]

Okay, posted a bunch more reviews. Now I need to take a longer break, my afternoon is filled with meetings and appointments.

[Ashley]

You added a ton Tati!!!!

[Tati]

Still have another 3 to write and post, but that should boost our points a bit

The green cover was sort of already used Ashley, if you look back a bit Tati needs to bump my book over to it when she writes the review for one of hers. I just hadn't changed the spreadsheet until she had the review ready to do it.

[Ashley]

Okay! I’ll delete it off the spreadsheet next time I’m on a computer

[Carrie]

We can add it to the second sheet if it's something you really want to read?

[Ashley]

No definitely not, I was just picking stuff to fit on there. I’ll find something else for a different spot!

[Carrie]

No problem, I went ahead and made the switch on the spreadsheet so it's ready for Tati to submit her book and ask Sarah to switch them and doesn't look open anymore. :)

[Tati]

Hey Carrie, any chance your August book would work for anything else?

[Carrie]

It only fits August for the ones that aren't done yet, I can look to see if it could possibly bump anything but I doubt we have much turned in that would move to other open spots either. :(

[Carrie]

Your guy on Rebel Heart looks like he has black hair and that one is still open so I could bump it from Contemporary and use that slot freeing up August. I should be done here soon so when I turn it in I'll make the changes.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Adams, I am adding Lara to your team ☺

[Carrie]

@Sarah - Thanks!

@Lara Welcome to the team Lara! If you have any books you've already read in June you can check out the spreadsheet and see if they fit anything left on the first page. If not you could start placing them on the second as we should be able to flip it this week.

Here's the link....

[Carrie]

I'm thinking especially with a new teammate to work in that if we aren't currently reading them maybe we should take them off. What do you guys think?

[Ashleigh]

Obligatory sorry I've been missing for a while haha. (How many times have I said that now this month?) I've been so busy with extra shifts at work, and then when I got that out of the way, I got hit by a great dose of flu :( Better now, and I'm gonna TRY to be more active for the rest of the month. (i feel like I've said that before too)

@Carrie I agree. I was gonna take my book out for 'blood on the cover' as I'm putting that book on pause for now.

[Carrie]

Ouch, glad your feeling better now Ashleigh.

[Ashleigh]

Thank you, it's been a rough month haha. But my reading's actually picked up since I've been sick, which is weird haha.

[Lara]

Hi guys, I get to join your team now! I'll add some books I will read to the spreadsheet, and if we can manage all 100 before the challenge ends, I can add books I've read earlier in the month.

I always find it a toss up, sometimes I read more just because I don't want to move and do anything else but other times I can't concentrate or just sleep etc.

[Ashley]

Hi Lara! Welcome!

Thanks Lara, I know we didn't have much left so since you weren't trying for the categories it wasn't likely you get fit them in those few spots. I'm trying to find some shorter ones though to hurry up and flip the board. :)

[✨Skye✨]

Sure, move any of mine to the second board that I haven't started. Just to say I haven't put on the spreadsheet yet that I've started I See You but I have :)

[Ashley]

Taking off the ones we aren’t currently reading sounds good to me. I’ve got Song if the Current going right now, haven’t started any others

[Carrie]

I'm currently reading The Getaway Girls and will do Mirage straight after today. Those are all I have on the first page. Should have them done and reviewed by tomorrow morning at the latest so I'll check then to see how close we are and what still needs doing.

[Tati]

I'm currently working on Long Shot

[Carrie]

@Lara Any chance you'd want to read A Christmas Carol too? It was an extremely easy 12 pts for the team since it's only around 100 pages and there are editions over 600 + and ongoing buddy read. I did it for a book before 1989 and Skye is doing it for an author named Charles but it will also fit snow on the cover. :)

[Lara]

Yeah, I can definitely read that one. I will start it soon! I just put books in all the empty spaces as there weren't many, but I'll put the others I read this month over the page.

[Ashleigh]

I've got 2 reviews to get up, one for the first board and one for the second board. I'll add the review for the first board tomorrow morning and I'll hold off on the second one until we finish the first one.

[Lara]

I moved some books around on the spreadsheet to put the ones I've finished on the first page, but if this is an issue then please let me know...

[Tati]

oh, that's fine :)

I will have to keep reading the book you moved, as I need it for another challenge, but that's on me

[Carrie]

Not on my computer right now to check spreadsheet but mirage and tattoo are done just need to review later.

[Tati]

we should have a nice point boost today :)

I've finally posted all my reviews, and Lara is posting a few as well

[Carrie]

Hopefully we can catch Washington then. :)

[Lara]

Also, does the five book series have to have exactly five books, or can it be more, and do they have to be published yet? Because I read Restore Me earlier this month, and could maybe put that in where Skye has Hero of Ages, which is quite a long one. If you're nearly finished though Skye, or if it won't work then I'll leave it as is.

[Lara]

Carrie wrote: "Hopefully we can catch Washington then. :)"

Hopefully we're not too far behind, and then we can overtake! :)

[Lara]

Sorry, I also want to check that it's too late to join the BR for this one: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I've already read it, but I'm just making sure I can't claim the extra points, just in case.

[Carrie]

Five book series can be 5 or more but novellas dont count... As for being published youd have to ask Sarah.

I believe its 14 days from last comment.

[Lara]

Thanks Carrie!

[Ashley]

Hi guys, I just finished one but its on the second board now, I haven't even started the one that I have filled in for the current board yet so if anyone has one published in November, please take my spot! I don't want to hold up finishing the board

[Carrie]

Ashley wrote: "Hi guys, I just finished one but its on the second board now, I haven't even started the one that I have filled in for the current board yet so if anyone has one published in November, please take ..."

I can see if I can find a short one later, need to get the ones I do have done reviewed too though. :)

[Carrie]

Ok, finally got on my PC and our spreadsheet open spots weren't matching Sarah's total read and I think I found the missing one...

@Tati did you ever review Children of Redemption? I think that's what hasn't been posted that's filled in as done.

[Tati]

I knew I was missing something...

[Carrie]

@Lara I'm moving Name of the Wind on the second page because it looks like it was first published in March, not Nov. Kinda taking a wild guess that character with a K would work since it mentions Kvothe. If that's not good you can move it where it will better fit.
