Hi Dani! We're happy to have you!

[Dani]

Thank you all so much!!! I'm so excited to be a part of the team!

Welcome to the team, Dani!

[Jenn]

Welcome Dani

[Dani]

Thank you both! I updated my bookshelf. It's not much, but my life finally calmed where I can start reading again. I'm going to be posting my books read in our appropriate thread, but if there's anything else I need to do right now, please let me know. :)

[Kate]

Hi Dani!! :) Glad to have you here!!!

[Logan]

Thanks for the shelf link Dani! I'll get you added to the official and unofficial spreadsheets.

If anyone is finding it too cumbersome to maintain the unofficial spreadsheet, please don't feel obligated to use it BTW. I have to admit that the official spreadsheet's ability to auto-add our books is pretty swank!

[Dani]

Thanks Logan! I'm obsessed with spreadsheets. They make me happy. Also, I just had a quick question. Do we only get credit for BOM participation if we answer all of the questions?

[Logan]

You don't have any books added to your team shelf, so they are not being added to our official total. Make sure you add any books you've read since November 9th to that shelf in order for them to be counted!

[Logan]

Jenn

Since we couldn't find an official word count, the Mods ruled that your Jim Morrison poetry book can be used for the number of pages listed on Goodreads. So go ahead and add it to your challenge shelf!

[Logan]

Kate

A Monster Calls didn't get put on your challenge shelf, it looks like.

You do not have to answer all of the questions. I will double check the rules on whether there is an official minimum, but I know you don't have to do them all, or even any of them. The questions are a guideline only - you can participate by posting general thoughts as you would any other BR.

Welcome to the team Dani! Great to have you join us :)

Yo..."

Thank you Kristin! And thanks for checking Logan. The Ruby Red book was my first BOM. I was a bit behind and only answered one day of questions. If it doesn't count, that's okay.

Thank you Melissa!!

Whooops. Thanks for letting me know. I added it! :)

[Dani]

Thanks Kaora!!

And I'm sorry I have so many questions, but I noticed on our official spreadsheet that there was an open spot under the 'Check the List' portion of the Quest to Save Christmas challenge. Does that still need to be filled? I recently checked out Beautiful Disaster from my library. It's at the top of the 'Bad Boys' bookshelf and the description labels the female MC as a 'good girl.' If it'll count towards the challenge, I'd like to help out.

[Kristie]

That's awesome, Dani! Thanks for helping. :)

Ive been trying to help keep things updated . I can't edit the official spreadsheet but iI have been trying to get stuff added to unofficial. Is there anything else I can be helping you with Logan?

[~Melissa~]

Finished up buddy read - woohoo 80 pts!!!

May I just say while I liked the book and loved Keely and Torin's banter - the book could have been shorter - just saying and I wish Torin hadn't been quite so (view spoiler)[ whiny (hide spoiler)]

[Cee]

Aw, Melissa, hate when heroes are like that!

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas :D I'm using the time off to catch up with reading

[Sonia]

HI ELVES!!!


I'm baaaaaack!!! Mom is finally on the mend, and after 3 weeks spending the days in the hospital visiting her, and then 2 weeks babysitting her at home I'm soooo ready to get my life back.

Anyway... I'm looking at the official spreadsheet, and changing some things on the save christmas tab.. so I'm please to announce you are one book away of saving chirstmas :D :D :D

Btw, is one pink book away... not worry, I have a backup option already but since Jenn's book looks more salmon to me than pink, I'm looking for a more pinkish one :D

[Sonia]

So yeah, I used Jenn's book :)

[~Melissa~]

Hi Sonia - we missed you!! Glad all is better with your Mom.

[Sonia]

Thanks. It was a big scare.

[Logan]

Happy New Year dear elves! Anyone else spending the day reading?

I'm thoroughly enjoying this space opera, , and am trying to finish today. I'm also being distracted by the three Big Ten football bowl games on right now, though! :) I have no plans other than reading and watching football today.

Jenn, let me know what you think of Dorothy Must Die. I had very strong reactions to that one. lol

Happy New Year to us! :D Another year of adventure both in real life and literary sense :)

Happy New Year everyone!

I can't decide what to start first for the New Year....I'll figure it out!

Happy New Year elves!

[Kristie]

I finished The Christmas Jars for our challenge - 122 pages.

[Kelly]

Sonia!
I challenge you to a read-a-thon duel!
The powers of Light against the powers of Darkness

Between January 3 and January 18 let's see who can read more books. The Light teams or the Darkness teams.
The only rule is that each team must read at least one book from every page count category:
-between 100 and 160 pages
-between 161 pages and 450 pages
-between 451 and 600 pages
-between 601 and 750 pages
-between 751 and 900 pages
-over 901 pages

Not only will the winning element will have bragging rights, but if Light wins then Sonia will need to change her goodreads picture to an light image; and if Darkness wins then Kelly will need to change her goodreads picture to an darkness image.

[Logan]

Oh this looks like so much fun!

[Logan]

I need to read Daughter of the Forest soon, which is in the 451-600 category.

[Kristie]

Currently reading The Name of the Wind (662 pages) and Cress (550 pages).

[Dani]

Hi all! Happy new year! I'll be finishing up a book today that is around 450 pages. Once I get on my computer, I'll check the proper count, so it looks like it's on the fence between two different levels right now.

[Sonia]

Hello Team!!!

So, your hopeful soon-to-be-bragging mod added a new tab to the Elves of Deep Shadow Spreadsheet that allows to keep track of books read (no work involved besides the remaking button) and the categories filled - this one needs to be maintained. I already added the 3 fulfilled to make it easier for you.

It needs to have an adjustment made, since it counts all books read from Jan 3rd on, but doesn't know when to stop, yet. I asked the spreadsheet master to take a look at my formula, so, fear not, we're on track!

Happy Readings!

[Logan]

Cool!!!!! You're the best, Sonia!!!
