Perfect!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

We could do that! I really wish Heather would post all her reviews... then we would basically be ready to move on, with the exception of the couple tasks we have left to complete, such as the “cat” task, the “rock” or “roll” task, & the “given up” task. I believe Morgan said she’ll have the given up task completed this weekend, so that’s good.

I can’t do another cat book. I’m sorry mine wasn’t able to work, so I basically read it for nothing. Good thing it was short! I’ve been looking for a book for the rock or roll task that I might be able to read.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Also, because the “strange” description was already filled when I finished my “strange” book, we didn’t get any bonus points for it even though we could’ve. It’s my fault, though, because I should’ve seen it & asked to swap with the person.

I believe it was Read a book that has an S in the title, bonus points if it has the word strange in the title. I read a book with strange in the title & couldn’t put it for that task for the bonus because it was already taken. :’[

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I am going to PM Heather & see if she could try to post her reviews so we can move on to the next description ASAP, plus be able to see exactly what we have left that we need to read for in order to be able to move on to round 2.

[Reading Rediscovered]

No worries. I'll just keep reading my "out" book and we can use it in round 2.

I'm on break from work today so I will try to hit the library this afternoon and see if I can find any books with "rock/roll" or "cat" which would help us out to finish Round 1.

[Dr. Andy]

I'll be writing reviews tonight now that I'm home so that will finish anything I had in round 1

[Dr. Andy]

I found a book called the uninvited by Cat Winters so I can read that for the cat description

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Sounds good! We won’t be able to move on until Brooke & Heather review all their finished books. :’[

[Katie_Potatie]

Hey team, I have now finished and reviewed Matched and Out of My Mind

Both have now been added into banked books.

It doesn't look like there are any more spaces, so i will just read Three wishes and the anything else I have time for and add them to banked in case we can use them.

[Brooke]

oh no :( i'm working on mine now, it'll be up before morning, working on it while i'm at work so it'll take a second!! SORRYYYYYYY!!!!!

[Dr. Andy]

I had a late night at work yesterday and I'm a little sick but I'll be doing reviews today! :D

[Reading Rediscovered]

Any word from Heather when she'll post those missing reviews? Now that we're so close to finishing the round, I really want to get it done!

On another note, I found a book on my Kindle called .... No idea how good it will be, but it has ROCK and ROLL in the title so it gets bonus points! I'm about 30 pages in...we'll see how it goes.

[Dr. Andy]

I am not sure but I can message her. I don't know if a book that's cowritten with a male and female author would work for the male author description but I'll ask about that too

[María]

I will try to finish my bridge book tomorrow...

[[[ Frankie ]]]

That’s great, Jessica!

We could use your finished book, Dry, for male author, couldn’t we? Or is that the one you’re talking about being co-written?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Awesome!

Great, Brooke!

Your book, Three Wishes, was already in description #5 & it also gets bonus points for having the word “wish” in the title. So yeah, definitely try to get that one read & reviewed soon, if you can. That would be great.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Brooke, were you still going to read Poison Study for description #37: read a book with a title that starts with P?

[Dr. Andy]

Omg I totally forgot about Dry lmao

[Dr. Andy]

[[ Frankie ]] wrote: "Andrea, were you still going to read Poison Study for description #37: read a book with a title that starts with P?"

I think you mean Brooke ;)

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Okay, Katie, so you posted on the banked books thread that you completed & reviewed Out of My Mind by Sharon M Draper.... but I went to go post it & use it for the non-romance description & I’m not finding that you even read the book, or reviewed it...

[[[ Frankie ]]]

It says you “added it”, but didn’t read or review it. But you put on the banked books thread that you did. Am I missing something?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

That’s funny, I just changed it to Brooke while you were saying that! Yes, I did mean Brooke, I’m sorry, lol.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I think we’re making some progress!

[Dr. Andy]

The non-romance prompt should be done I thought

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I noticed Heather reviewed Losing Hope, so I posted that one, as well.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Andrea wrote: "The non-romance prompt should be done I thought"

Has it been posted for? I didn’t even check to see if it had been posted for. I was going by the spreadsheet. I will double check & see.

[Dr. Andy]

It wasn't lol, I can move my A monster calls to that one and post my most recent for the C prompt. I just have to write the reviews. Hopefully I will tonight. Super busy at school. Tho I did manage to write 3 yesterday!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Okay, I checked the review thread & task 38, non romance, hadn’t been posted yet. So I was going to use Katie’s finished & reviewed book to post for it. Except I’m not finding her review now. But in the banked books she put she reviewed it, so idk.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Andrea wrote: "It wasn't lol, I can move my A monster calls to that one and post my most recent for the C prompt. I just have to write the reviews. Hopefully I will tonight. Super busy at school. Tho I did manage..."

I just saw your comment, sorry! Okay, that sounds perfect!

[Dr. Andy]

Okay so the reviews I'll prioritize tonight will be: The Uninvited, Dry, A Monster Calls, and Imprison the Sky

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I wonder how Brooke’s coming along with Winter. It’s 1000 pages & a Buddy Read, so I didn’t want to move it just yet... but I have one that can fit it if we need to.

& then maybe we could use Winter for the same description for round 2.

[Dr. Andy]

Yeah if you have one that fits, go for it

[Dr. Andy]

I also messaged heather so hopefully she responds

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Okay, so I’m gonna make a list of what we have left that needs to be read or reviewed/posted in order for us to move on to round 2:

Andrea: (all of the following need to be reviewed & posted)
The Dry
A Monster Calls
The Uninvited
Imprison the Sky

Heather:
Ice Like Fire (needs to be reviewed & posted)
Girls of Paper & Fire (needs to be reviewed & posted)

Morgan:
Throne of Glass (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
25. Read a book that a teammate has given up. (Solo players can ask another solo player for ideas, or read something tagged 'Given-up'.)

Jessica:
Rock & Roll Homicide (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
"59. Read a book with either the word 'rock' or 'roll' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has both the word 'rock' and the word 'roll' in the title/author's name.)"

Maria:
The Boy of the Bridge (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
"43.Read a quicky! (A book with 100-200 pages.)
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has the word 'bridge' in the title or a picture of a bridge on the cover.)"

Brooke:
Poison Study (needs to be started, finished, reviewed, & posted)
"37. Read a book which has a title starting with the letter 'P' (for poison) ('A' and 'The' cannot be skipped).
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the word 'poison' in the title.)"

Katie:
Three Wishes (needs to be started, finished, reviewed, & posted)
"5. Read a book with the letters 'W', 'I', 'S', and 'H' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has the word 'wish' in the title.)"

[[[ Frankie ]]]

So, those are all we need to be able to move on to round 2! Then it will be easier to fill stuff in when we have another round opened up.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Brooke is reading We Are the Ants.... & Bellatrix is reading The Name of the Wind... either of those would fit description #5 also. If they happen to finish before Katie.

Then we could use Katie’s for the next round & get the bonus.

[Brooke]

I wont be able to get to Poison Study til Saturday so if someone wants to take that task they can

[Dr. Andy]

I only have one more planned book to finish which I’ll be done with tomorrow and then I can grab random spots.

I ended up working super late tonight and didn’t get a chance to write any reviews but I should have time tomorrow 🙈😪

[Dr. Andy]

Also I heard from heather and let her know which reviews we needed so hopefully she’ll write them/post them soon!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Does anyone have a book that they’ve finished or will finish in the next day or two that starts with a P? To replace Poison Study on the spreadsheet?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

& yeah, I heard from Heather earlier today, too. She sounded like she was going to review those two for us, but it doesn’t look like she did. Hopefully she will soon.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I’m gonna try to find a short P book I can try to read or listen to. I don’t know that I’ll be able to, though.

[María]

I finish my bridge book
I could read a book for the poison category...

[Heather]

Hey everybody! I’m not sure girls of Paper and Fire will count for me because I forgot I read over half of it in February

[María]

I'm starting potent as poison

[María]

So we need a fire book too

[Heather]

I have the Ice Like Fire book review written if someone will post it for me.
