Does anyone want to Buddy Read "The Radium Girls"? It's nominated for a book award, and it's pretty long so it'd be worth a bunch of points.

When do you want to start the BR?"
ASAP, if you've already started it. I can get it from the library today. Can you make the buddy read thread, or should I?

Do we have to fill in the letter we finished on the actual crossword or is someone doing that for everyone?

I'm pretty sure one of the mods is doing that.

I'm trying to find a space to put Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly into the spreadsheet. All of the spaces for the title or author letters are full. Does anyone have anything they can move around that they haven't started yet? I started Hidden Figures today.

I'll join in on the BR for Radium Girls as soon as a copy at the library is available. I placed a hold, but apparently it's a really popular book.

I finished
. I will be out of town for a couple days without reliable internet access, so can someone post my review, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..., on the review page and update the SS tomorrow? Thank you.

I just finished Geekerella. I see there a g in 1 arcoss on the SS that doesn't have a review post. Or a g in 5 down. Which would you like be to go for?
BookWorm wrote: "I don't see any G spaces open."1 across says book as been read but thete isnt an checkmark in the last 2 boxes.
5 down has a book listed but none of the boxes have been checked. I guess it's a book someone is planning to read.

Andrea's for 1 across is a g with the last name, R with the title. Move that one to the R in 1 across and put yours in for the G

So I'm not actually sure if I'll be able to use
as a crossword since I started it in November. If I just count it for pages, can I still double that with the BR for what I've read this month, or the whole book? Or can I not use the buddy read?
