For our next up board we just need Jen's The Brother’s Three and Lane's This Shattered World to be finished. The rest are just a matter of posting :)
Sarah wants to know if we want her to score since we've posted a lot. I lean toward yes since it is a finished bard but can go either way. But for now, the way I am going is bed. I took a few spots for the next board but I plan on reading a lot over the next 2 days so I should fly through them :)
I also moved of Jen's Prey since it is done :)
Thanks for putting the next board in the docs Jamie! :)
So close guys! Keep up the good work!Current Scores (Serious):

I don't have any books on the current board, but don't you worry I am not busy today or this coming week so ill be reading like crazy. New job is taking a little bit to get use to.
I’m half way done with Brothers Three, should be finished by tonight and will post ASAP.
I have 1 more review to post but have a couple projects to do so I will do that later. Jen, all the rest is on you for this board. :)
Alright I have been a reading FIEND today! Wow. BUt none were books I planned to read. All mood based. BUt finished a LOT So if anyone has a spot they want to to take with out of these so we can flip again faster let me know. I'll add them to the sheet laterRead:
Sorry you guys are waiting on me. It feels weird since I've been ahead of the game until now.I'll post reviews for Accessory and Brother's Three when I get home tonight. I've started Two Weeks Notice and hope to be done mid-morning tomorrow.
Jamie, if you want to post Nevermore for the N in the current puzzle, go ahead!
Jennifer wrote: "Jamie, if you want to post Nevermore for the N in the current puzzle, go ahead!"Okay, will do. That will give us a new board again right away. Maybe we can shuffle and get these others worked in :)
It will also give me a chance to sleep tonight! I didn’t like the idea of you guys waiting on me :)
Jennifer wrote: "It will also give me a chance to sleep tonight! I didn’t like the idea of you guys waiting on me :)"Haha, it happens to all of us at some points. :) But yes, get some rest.
@Sierra @Lane how are your books going? All other books are done for the next board except for the other spots claimed. I have finished books I can claim 1 from each of you so we can finish faster if that is okay. Lane, I have 1 book that can fit two spots so maybe whichever will take you longer if that works? See the sheet for what I can take :) No pressure though, just trying to move us along as fast as possible se we don't have holdups. Especially going into the last week here.
Meanwhile, now I have to be a good reader tomorrow and read my BRs. :) Or I will one of the ones holding us up on the board after haha.
Jennifer wrote: "Jamie, if you want to post Nevermore for the N in the current puzzle, go ahead!"I put yours back for N on the new board :)
also, Sharon, I put your only book on the new board too :)
Almost done with my Lemony Snicket book and my unscripted life.
Its 4am I have no clue why I am currently up, but its totally fine body its not like I just went to bed 5 hrs ago... I am done with 2 books and currently reading my 3rd im about half and I should be able to finish the together tomorrow, but I am going to try and sleep tomorrow because im a bit busy this week.
I’m going post for P now if that’s okay.
I'm moving out of my apartment today and tomorrow, and won't be reading much so if anyone needs to take one of my spots, please do! You can just move them all down to the bottom of the doc, no need to find a new spot for them and I'll just assess what needs to be read when I get back on!
Oh I'll probably get through Dear Martin today though! It's super short and only a few pages left :)

I have Caraval done and my next book. I only had time to type all but like a parahgraph of Caraval. I have to go for a few hours then I will be have them posted as soon as I get back

Good luck with the move!
Also team, have we used either of our Bonus Fairies? Just curious for any upcoming letters we might get stuck on (like the U for our latest board). It might be good this late in the game especially so we aren't stuck reading something we don't want to.

Woohoo! Go Sierra!!
Yup I got a book called Until Tomorrow that I can read for U.
We are really kicking butt now! You ladies are great teammates; I'm so happy to be here with you.Since we are down to the final days and I have more books on my list than I will be able to read, I've highlighted the ones that I am going to focus on. Unfortunately, they don't provide much in terms of letters (lots of Ts, Ss, and Cs).
I have been struggling with BRs this month, so I will try to complete as many non BR books as I can till the end of this challenge. Next week, I have my bday off and Thursday off, so I will try to finish more GBRs in that time too.
We need an 'I' for our latest board. Somehow we missed an F for our current title so I moved one of my finished to cover it. Posting in a moment.
We are all doing great! I am loving being on a team with you all! I got my reviews up so far (1 pending finishing either Lane or I) and now it is time for me to go read.
In case I forget to say it next week: Happy Birthday, Sharon!
I'll post my reviews on the thread as soon as I can! I finished dear Martin and listened to Untouchable on audio so I marked them on the spreadsheet and those will both be up by tonight :)
Oh and I grabbed the I. Iron Gold was really my only must read this month but it's a monster. Hopefully I added it to the doc right, my phone is being a bit spazzy...

Sharon wrote: "Thanks for the early bday wishes."Happy early b-day!!!!
Im finishing writing caraval then ill be writing my other and posting
Just an FYI I will be gone all day tomorrow at a Ren Faire. So not sure when I will get my next set of reviews up. But if not tomorrow, than early the next day. But I think we are now catching back up where we actually need some reading time with all the recent board flips so lets do that. We got this!
Alright, so I won't be updating reviews or spreadsheet for about 15-20 hours. I will be reading some though and reading a lot again Monday. I only added 1 that was already in progress since I joined (on hold as it never had a spot) to the next board. I think we need to start being aware and work on finishing old ones at this point, with only 5 days left I have others that can fit and I have a decent chance to get to them but I don't want to commit to more than I can promise. We might all want to keep that in mind at this point. We can always add at the last minute. :) Have a great day/night everyone :) I'll try to check chat at least 1-2 on my phone.
Lane, are you sure you are going to finish reading 9 more books in less than 5 days? Jen has no books to read for the boards and Sharon only 2 listed we might want to let them have more spots while we just focus on catching ours up (I need to catch up too lol). We really might not want to claim unstarted books or add more until we do Jen is our strongest read so far too. Saving spots for her would be more effective this close to the end.Right now unfinished claimed spots:
Lane: 9
Jamie: 7
Sierra: 4
Sharon: 2
Jen: 0
We have a few open spots left. If anyone needs them :)
Alright, taking off for the day now. Everyone I hope you all have a great day! We can keep the #1 spot! We just got to read our butts off lol!
The ones I added to the new board are audios to listen to while I move since I have no tv currently, so they were added for that purpose. But again, if anyone needs or wants to take a spot feel more than free. I can't be on super often so I add what I have in mind when I'm on, but I don't mind being bumped :)
If I have more books finished, I will add them.
