Yay Lauri! You are right - we are awfully nice to be on such a villain team :)

haha I'm so glad

My 3 year old asks me every day for "the Oogie Boogie song" because he sees my profile picture on here :)

[Suzanne]

I got a couple books finished today - and will have at least 2 more by the end of BROWN - but I'll be out of town tomorrow morning - Thursday night, so I'll just be checking in on the app. But with the drives, I should have some reading time - if I don't fall asleep! =)

Hi girls, I saw most of you post here your read books, so I found this https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

There isn't one for Oogie Boogie

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Not every team has one - just where the captains wanted it.

I didn't ask for a "read books" thread, because I personally find it more confusing for everyone - especially those who use the app.
We are in week 4 and we haven't missed any books so I think it is ok, unless anyone has a strong opinion otherwise?

[Lexi]

We got Reindeer next week. Reindeer on cover and title are doable but how is reindeer a genre?

Edit: I take that back it is: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/rein...

Now to find one that isn't a picture book. Also, is genre still first page or MPG?

[M]

Our word is Reindeer!? Going to find all the E books I can.

[M]

For Reindeer as a genre, check the alternate genre list that was posted.

[Lexi]

The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia - This book works for genre, cover and title. Anyone else want to read it with me?

[M]

That looks really interesting Lexi, I am going to hunt a copy down.

[Lexi]

Anyone with Kindle Unlimited, this odd one is also FPG reindeer - Santa Paws

Can't get that one, but I can read The Reindeer People for title.

I'm happy about this call. I've been putting aside E and I books all week.

I think you captains are doing a great job. I personally like everything in one thread because then I only have to read one thread. :D

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Great work team! Making a list below of what we have so far. I'll do a search on my kindle for word in text

REINDEER

Word in Text : Karen Visions of Sugar Plums "Postage stamp front yards were crammed with reindeer"

Word in Title/Series : Allison Anne The Reindeer People

Word on Cover: M The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia

Word as Genre: Lexi The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia

[Lauri]

For our Reindeer week I'll read Espresso Tales and Everything Is Illuminated for the obvious E. And some other surprises, too...



I'm almost done with this week's books. I probably won't get much reading done today, but I'm off tomorrow. Yaaayyy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA teammies and happy Thursday to all those in other countries!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Nice one Lauri!
Oh yes, Happy Thanksgiving to out USA friends.

I found on my kindle which has reindeer in the text, and gives another E :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I finished

which unfortunately only works for R

I've almost finished another book though which has more options!

LOVE it! I believe our good buddy Diesel is in that one -- as if Steph doesn't have enough problems with Morelli & Ranger!

[Eunice]

I'll try to finish Carry On before the deadline! I've been busy for most of the week.

I love that author too - his books make me feel deeply. That one is on my "read soon" list.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I think my favourite of his was Beartown followed by “My grandmother asked me to tell you I’m sorry”. It’s not often I find an author I love so much - especially when it’s translated work. So massive kudos to the translator too!

[Suzanne]

Yes for sure! I've read the two you mentioned and A Man Called Ove. Wow I don't even know which I like best - loved all three. And they are all so different too.

Could someone please add it to out spreadsheet?

[Suzanne]

All added - nice job!

[Lexi]

Use M's for genre next week - I am going to read because it has a reindeer shapeshifter in it and that just seems special. It works for cover and title but not genre.

[Suzanne]

Cool Lexi!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I finished my last one for the week


It was the weakest book of hers yet. I enjoyed most of it, and the characters, but hopefully she gets back to more realistic storylines with her next one

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Update

We just completed our 7th readthrough! :)

So far there are 35 books read which is our lowest yet, but we are reading longer books so our points for the week is currently 1175 which is higher than we had for week 1.
I wonder if we can squeeze a few more books in there before the deadline? We have about 18 hours! xD

One more to add to the spreadsheet, please!

[Allison Ann]

Added my finished book to the spreadsheet. I have one more I will finish tonight or tomorrow and then we'll see about a last short book.

[Suzanne]

I will finish one more tomorrow morning before the deadline.

[M]

I finished the last book I had on the list. Sigh. This not walking thing is killing me, but I am reading a lot.

[Suzanne]

You sure are reading a lot! But yes, I'm sure it is (literally) a pain to not be able to walk. I hope you are progressing in the right direction.

[M]

I am, I should be back on my feet in a month or so. I am reading a lot because TV is not my thing. I have also been knitting scarves for Yule gifts.

[Suzanne]

Wow what a good way to make nice use of your time!
