Kristie I updated some before I left to go out of town, but didnt get everyones. If Logan doesnt get to them first I will work on it tomorrow night after work.

[Kristie]

Thanks! That's fine, I just wanted to make sure I was posting properly.

Just finished Killing Sarai (396 pages). Really good book. Better than I expected.

Oh...and my BOM discussion of Ruby Red can be found here.

[Logan]

Thanks for the link, Dani.

Remember everyone, it's very helpful to put your links to your comments in BR and BOM threads in your tracking posts. There are so many threads now that it's difficult and time consuming to hunt down each thread to verify your participation. When you log a new finished book in your tracking post, and you've commented on a BR or BOM thread, please list a link to that comment in your tracking post. Thank you!

*edited for clarification

[Dani]

Are there different threads for logging BRs and BOMs? I wasn't aware of them if there are.

[Logan]

No, sorry, that wasn't very clear. You should put a link in your tracking post in this thread - which you did for Ruby Red. That way when I'm double checking and adding our BR/BOMs to the official spreadsheet, I can just go down your list and click on the links and then keep right on trucking down the line. :)

[Dani]

Okay cool. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

[~Melissa~]

I need to add the link for buddy read for The Husbands Secret ......but it was only Becca and I. We didn't read at the same time and didn't comment a lot but did more general thoughts (I did twice- she did it when she finished book) unsure if this will count.


Logan can you peek at the thread and the let me know what you think. I'll add the link tomorrow and PM you. I won't put points on our spreadsheet until you get back to me.

[Logan]

Approved.

[Kristie]

Finished What Alice Forgot and the BR.

[Kristie]

Finished The Name of the Wind (662 pages) and the BR

[Kristie]

Finished Yellow Crocus and the Yellow Crocus Buddy Read

[Dani]

Finished Offside. Also, I added the BR link for Pleasure Unbound to my list. Logan mentioned in the BR thread that my discussion could count since I'd only finished the book a week before the thread was started. Let me know if this has changed and it needs to be removed. :)

[Logan]

Kristie, can you check that Yellow Crocus is tagged to your shelf for this challenge and marked as read? It's not showing up for me on the spreadsheet.

[Kristie]

Should be all set now, Logan!

[Kristie]

Finished Bruiser and the BR.

[Kristie]

Finished Cress with the BR too!

[Kristie]

I finished Calling Me Home and participated in the buddy read, however there was only one other person in the buddy read and she hasn't gotten her book yet. I told her that I'd keep an eye on the thread and go back to discuss it with her. I'm not sure how the points for that would work.

[Kristie]

Any idea if I add the points for the Calling Me Home buddy read or not? Should I post the question in the rulings thread?

[~Melissa~]

I think you'll be fine as long as once someone posts you join in the conversation. I know that I joined BR 'late' and got points as those before would 'chat' with me. I was able to claim the points so I don't see why you can't.
Did you make any posts while reading in a spoiler <*spoiler> <*/spoiler> fashion for those who read behind you?

[Kristie]

Melissa - Yes. Most everything was in spoilers. That's the worst, when you accidentally read a spoiler!

Finished Dollbaby and the BR. :)

[Logan]

Sorry Kristie! My notifications didn't pop up. You can claim the BR points later when someone else chimes in. So keep an eye on the thread and when there is some conversation going we can add your points.

Totally agree ....although those little spoiler tags lurk and lurk and lurk until you get to that point and can click on them LOL
