Here are some books tagged 'hot' for anyone wanting to read for that. You'll still have to check it's first page. ^_^https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/hot
anyone have any ideas for MC with initials that are MP/PM? all I can think of is Madam Pomfrey but a. that's not her real name I guess and like shes not a MC lol
Also an update on my reading. I am currently reading
I'm only 14% in though so I won't be done anytime soon. Slow start to the month for me. :)
also I have a book that works for author initials in PIE but haven't put it on the bored bc im only 20% done with it so if someone else has a book for that awesome if not, ill try to get to at least 50% today but I will finish Rhymes with LINE
today and hopefully will finish
white and red cover too :)
I have a book for one set in Canada that I'm hoping to finish today!
sooo may just end up reading Mary Poppins bc I can not find another book with a MP/PM MC lol but still going to try to find something I haven't read yet instead
I have found some MC's with MP or PM as the initals. Editing as I find them.
Philip Marlowe
Perry Mason
would
this count for cookies on cover? theres gingerbread people on the trees
I have finished
I can use it for orange or sweet in text. I need to review it still so I'll check again to see if the spots are still free when I post. (Haven't checked the SS yet.)I'm also currently reading
Anna, I just finished a book that has orange in the text so if you want to do sweet I think we can move to the next card!!Also, is there a BR for The Cruel Prince because I need to read that one as well.

I'll review it ASAP then. I hope Morgan is okay with me taking her slot. I see she has started her book...
We can always move it to another board. The book certainly won't go to waste! And since we have a few other books that are finished maybe we can use some of those once we get a different board.
Okay. I'll review it now then.Also, there is no current BR for the Cruel Prince. Want to read it together?
Now we just need a book with a cookie on cover. OjoAusana - Are you still reading the book with the gingerbread cookies on the trees?

I thought we only had two left? I saw on the review thread 23/25?
I think someone else posted for the other one we were missing after it was updated.
I’m reading From Lukov with Love & it has SWEET in text But I’m not sure if it is already on the spreadsheet so if someone could check please.
Yes Book has that one covered.Right now the open spots appear to be:
Author's initials are in PIE
MC's initials are MP or PM
But I've seen chat in this thread where people were saying they might have those covered.
If you do have them covered can you please update the SS to show you have it?
Jammin Jenny wrote: "I think someone else posted for the other one we were missing after it was updated."I think we are at 25 of 25. I posted for sweet and Erin posted for orange.
So I assume that means my Zuleikha book is open to use for the next one?
Wait, I thought I use that for a translated book. That meeting Zuleikha

If we are still talking first round we don't need pie as Erin posted for orange and we don't need PM as she posted for Canada. Assuming I understand how the rules work???
Vicki wrote: "Wait, I thought I use that for a translated book. That meeting Zuleikha"The other tasks for that spot was completed first which is why it's on hold.
Vicki wrote: "Wait, I thought I use that for a translated book. That meeting Zuleikha"You can still use it for translated. You just have to wait till we are done round 1. I think we are but I'm not 100% sure of the rules yet.

Yes that's right. We'll just need those two filled for the next round so we can get a new board. I found a book that fits author's initials in PIE, so we just need a book with the MC's initials being MP or PM

OjoAusana said she would probably read Mary Poppins.

I'm confused. I thought the Coffee board was round 1 and that's where I put my book. I'm home for about 10 minutes. LOL Hurrying up on GR...then out to a late lunch.
The coffee board is round 1 and 2 - now we are finishing up round 2 then we get our next board.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "The coffee board is round 1 and 2 - now we are finishing up round 2 then we get our next board."Oh okay so we are talking about round 2 then. I have no clue what we are doing in round 2. :P
Jammin Jenny wrote: "Now we just need a book with a cookie on cover. OjoAusana - Are you still reading the book with the gingerbread cookies on the trees?"
I have it and started it but wont finish it tonight so if someone else has a book that fits for cookies on cover that gets done before me they can post it there, theres plenty of other spots on other boards that book will fit for :)
and yes I can read mary poppins tomorrow if we still need a MP Mc

You have finished your first round of the board! With the spinner, You all got 90 bonus points added to your total score! You can now start posting for the second round - I counted 3 of the books that were on hold already as well.
Happy reading!
Guys I'm looking at our banked books to see what we can use to finish faster. So far I have found:
- Title has 4 words ONLY
- MC's first or last name starts with C
If we are allowed to move things we could move
to M,I,N,T and put another book in break up. I think it's easier????
Oh and Jenny you should change Chestnut man to 'Nut' in the title as 2019 is easier.In fact we could use the banked book The Bone Houses then.
I just finished my review for Bone Houses and working on my buddy read comments now
I finished a four letter title last night, so I can take that spot, Jenny. Just let me know if you want me to.
Just a personal suggestion I think we should only add books to the SS if they are finished. It's working really well in my Quarterly team right now. :)
I feel like we should def work on cleaning up the spreadsheet. It's a little hard to figure everything out not just on the board but the banked/CR one. So maybe we only put finished books on the board and then the banked/CR for well ones that are finished and don't fit or ones we are CR.

I’m in Book’s quarterly team where it’s working really well too lol
I also like that plan. I'll move the one book I have to the planned.ETA: The Freebie spot is open for anyone that has a finished book that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "I also like that plan. I'll move the one book I have to the planned."Awesome!
I think that will make things go a lot faster. We can just add any banked books we find that work as the categories arrive. ^_^

Trisha is also reading that book - The Chestnut Man (we are doing a group read in another group) so she should be finishing up shortly.

Okay. :)
I like the idea of only putting finished books on the ss especially since there are quite a few finished with nowhere to go.
Right now, if there is a book that is finished and can fit in a spot I vote we try to finish this board and get a new one. I'm sure those books we move will be able to fit somewhere else.
