[Angie]

Just finished the small straight! :D

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Woohoo!!

[Staci]

Hi team! Does anyone know what we have remaining?

[Sarita]

I need to check the spreadsheet tomorrow, but I know we still needed 2 books for four of a kind - Christian fiction category.

[Angie]

The ones that aren't currently claimed are two Christian fiction and the extra chance. :)

[Staci]

Thanks to you both!

[Sarita]

oh, Staci, we also have an extra chance spot open which anyone can fill because we are only 4 members versus the other teams 5

[Staci]

I’m reading two right now...one CF and one GM.

[Angie]

Staci wrote: "I’m reading two right now...one CF and one GM."

So, maybe one of the four-of-a-kind slots and the extra chance? I can update the spreadsheet if you can give us the titles. :)

[Staci]

Thanks Angie! CF is A Borrowed Dream by Amanda Cabot and GM is As the Light Fades by Catherine West. Should finish both this week. Cabot book due to library on 9/5!

Got those down for you, Staci! A Borrowed Dream will be for four-of-a-kind, and As the Light Fades will be our extra chance slot. ;)

[Staci]

Thank you!!

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

I added a "round two" tab to the spreadsheet to make is easier to plan out that round...it looks like we are going to complete round one shortly :D

[Sarita]

Thanks Melanie and welcome back :-)

Hi team

See this category open on the spreadsheet:

Read a book: second in its series, with 200-299 pages, with two people on the cover, published in Mar. or Apr, or with "2(two)" in the title

Any takers?

I'm going to try to finish my yahtzee task and my chance spot first, but if no one else has jumped on it by that point, I can grab it. ;)

[Sarita]

Are we keeping the straights the same for round 2 or do you want to mix it up.

Three and Four of a kind?

Three and Four of a kind?"

I think the four of a kind should be Christian fiction again. I'm good with whatever for the other ones. :)

[Sarita]

Okay. I read a lot of suspense and some historical, so those two would be my top options?

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Sarita wrote: "Okay. I read a lot of suspense and some historical, so those two would be my top options?"

Oh! Maybe we could do suspense for one and historical for the other? Skip just doing Christian fiction as that is a little too easy. Lol

[Sarita]

Happy with that if the others agree. I know Staci also reads a lot of historical.

So maybe suspense for three of a kind and historical for four of a kind?

[Sarita]

hehe, I also feel like Christian fiction is like cheating because too easy.

[Angie]

That sounds good to me. I have at least one suspense book to get to soon and a bunch of historical to pick from. :)

[Angie]

For round one, I'm going to try to finish my two claimed tasks by the end of the week. Anyone have anything for #2 or the last Christian fiction slot?

[Sarita]

I have two options or both has two people on the cover, but I don't think I will be able to finish it before mid week next week.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Same! :)

I have one for last christian fiction slot. I can post tonight if needed.

Great thanks Melanie!

[Angie]

Got the last Yahtzee task posted, and I've started books for both my chance and the #2 task. Hoping to finish them by tonight or tomorrow...

[Sarita]

Great thanks Angie!

[Staci]

Do we have anyone reading for the final two books?

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Staci wrote: "Do we have anyone reading for the final two books?"

I think angie is reading them.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

I've put a few books down for round two. I'm reading several books that I'll hopefully have done this week.

[Angie]
