Triple check with the mods it will work. I don't see it being an issue but I would hate for you to read it and it won't count. :)

[Jennifer]

Ok I posted Sunglasses and moved Whiskey to food, freeing up Red hair on cover

[Saige]

I'll be done with the common last name one tomorrow, and hopefully I can finish my re-read of Carry on by Tuesday. Consider those categories done ;)

[Aly]

So all the categories have someone reading them! I should be finished with the book Alaina gave me today :)

[Aly]

Only 4 more books to go! Yay :)

[Aly]

Updates anyone? I feel like I'm alone :( lol

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm currently reading

[Aly]

Yay you're here! I'm doing winter scene take two lol. I'll be done in an hour

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I am. I check about every day or every other day lol. Just don't have a lot of progress to report. :P

Awesome! I saw that the other one didn't count sadly. :(

Oh well it will count for something for round 3!

[Aly]

Yes indeed. I am excited that we're so close to round 3

[Donna]

Sorry, I probably should check in more. I am in the middle of packing but I try to get some reading in. Just not as much as normal.

[Aly]

That's okay, packing takes a lot of time. Thanks for posting!

[Saige]

Hey! I'm almost done with Carry On, and then I have a bunch more to get through this week. I'm finally off of school, so I should have a ton more time to read.

[Aly]

Nice!

[Jennifer]

I should be done with my book by Thursday night.

[Jennifer]

Ok, posted my final book for round 2 and discovered a few that were missing. I guess I got distracted at the turnover because I forgot to post 3 books from that time. I also discovered that one of us deleted the LGBTQ tagged category from the spreadsheet for round 2 - the whole row was gone. I just moved over the book from round 3 and posted it.

So we should just be waiting to finish 3 books and then we can start round 3! Yay!

[Aly]

Hooray! Thanks Jennifer

[Felicia]

Y'all are kicking ass. :D

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Woohoo!

[Saige]

All done with Carry On! Now we just have 2 more until round 3

[Saige]

How are those last round two books coming?

[Aly]

I messaged Emeli a week ago to see how her book was coming and she hasn't responded yet.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

If she hasn't finished it or gotten back to us by the time Donna is done her book we can just post another book for it. :)

[Donna]

I am confused. What book? I wasn't reading any for round 2. They were all claimed.

[Donna]

Did I forget to turn in Itsy Bitsy Spider? I finished that back on May 11th.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Huh. I clearly saw a CR next to a book of yours a few min ago. O.o

So is it just Emeli's book now???

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I don't know the name sounds familiar. I just went by the SS. Let me check the review thread.

[Donna]

I just changed it. I finished the book on May 11th. I must be losing it. Never even realized that I missed turning that one in.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

It's hard when you sometimes have to wait to post. You so easily forget. lol.

You hadn't posted it before now. You did post it to Andrea's Astonishing... review thread though. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Yup only need Emeli's book. I still have if ya'll want me to post it for her spot.

[Donna]

LOL I totally lunched. I was keeping a list of the ones I was waiting to post and it didn't even make it on that list, I guess. I would have expected to lunch this month since I am trying to keep up with all my teams, pack an entire house and find new doctors for my kids. We are moving on July 1. My brain is about fried right about now.

Can we move her book to hunt 3?

I think so? Let me check.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Author’s initials (or name) are in alphabetical order (ex. L.S. or Amy)

It can be used for this as long as I have the right Emeli and the right book. Weirdly both Emeli's in the group have posted to our thread?

[Saige]

Huh. I'd say switch them now so we can post round 3 books, and figure out what's up with Emeli afterwards.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

KK. I will post after I am done eating then. :)

[Aly]

Good idea. This way we can work on round 3 :)

[Aly]

I posted all my books for round 3 and moved Emeli's book to the same spot in case she posts it.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Thanks! GJ!

I have several books I need to post. Will do that after my puppy sleeps for the night around midnight-ish.

[Donna]

Doesn't this challenge end this weekend? Maybe we should divide and conquer the last batch of categories?

Want me to randomize them?

[Aly]

That's fine with me

[Jennifer]

I've got a couple to move around first. Hold off for a hour or so, please

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Jennifer wrote: "I've got a couple to move around first. Hold off for a hour or so, please"

Okay. :)

[Jennifer]

Ok, I think I have all my currently reading books in there. Before I start moving too much around, does anyone have any banked books that they are trying to find spots for? It looks like all the books Donna has on that tab were used for hunt 2.

[Aly]

I think I've been able to put all my books in

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I don't have banked books but I do have some finished books I haven't added yet. Was going to do that now. Plus I have like 6+ books I need to post...

[Jennifer]

Ok, I have one that I could move around to free up an easier category. I guess I could use some input on which one would be most helpful.

I can free up Red cover or Published in April or MC is blonde.
