No problem! That's rough. XS I don't mind handling your updates until things settle down. ;)

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

thanks Angie! I'll try to update soon...life is crazy right now.

[Kimberly]

Our internet is only on for less than a minute at a time. If someone else can fill Kim's book reviews it would be great.

No problem; I've taken care of it. :) Sorry it took me a while to get to; seems like things are a bit out of whack everywhere right now. :P

[Sarita]

Added two children's books I've finished to the spreadsheet for the G and R letter still open for that final verse on the spreadsheet.

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

Awesome! Which books are they? I don't see them on the spreadsheet...

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

I'm about to do updates, so we'll have our next verses soon to plan. We got through these so quickly! :D

[Sarita]

I’ve added them in red - Nou wil almal sien - R author
Die wikkelboudedans - G author

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

Ah, now I see them. :D I've added them into the verse area now so it is filled. Once we all post, we'll have this one done too! :D

[Sarita]

Thanks! Wanted to add them to the green cells but wasn’t sure if I could😊

[Angie]

I'll try to update again this evening. :)

You can. :D

Awesome!

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

I've tried to fit in all of our finished books as best as I can into our newest verses. Not that I need to say this, but feel free to switch things around as you guys see best. :D

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

We have the letters E/I/O/Y/U open for our current puzzle, if anyone has books for them. I'll check mine...

[Sarita]

I’ve just finished In too Deep for I.

And starting a book with a Y author.

But if anyone else has a book finished which covers that, please take it.

[Kimberly]

I have a pattern book, I forget does that work? Its: adorable Fruits and Vegetables to Crochet: Delicious Decorations for Your Table

It works as long as you read it. :)

[Sarita]

Almost done with Up from the sea for U.

[Angie]

I'm working on a U book, too. We definitely need them! Seems like there are a lot more U's in regular words than there are beginning words in book titles. ;)

[Kimberly]

I have an L book for the next verse.
HUGS

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

Perfect! I've marked you for the open 'L' for the verse "He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it." in the spreadsheet. :)

[Sarita]

What happened to our fifth team member?

[Megan, ☘I Lost My Shoe ☘]

Finished these books since my last post, where do you think they'd work best?

[Sarita]

Megan you’re back 😊. Was wondering if you were ok.

[Kimberly]

I finished is there a good place for it?

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

Adding to the spreadsheet all those books.

[Kimberly]

I have just finished
Is there a good place for this book?

[Angie]

I apologize for falling off the map! It was pretty much a perfect storm of not feeling well + reading slump + being glued to the news + actually getting some writing done for a change. Going to try to do better next week!

[Angie]

Kimberly wrote: "I have just finished

I added it to the list, Kimberly. We should have some new verses to start planning for soon. :)

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

No worries, Angie! I hope you are doing well now and glad you are back. :)

[Sarita]

Angie - no need to apologize - you are basically running our team 😜. Our lockdown got extended by another 2 weeks so still crazy this side. Hope you feel better!

I couldn't agree more, Sarita!

-Angie, you're amazing! Basically our team captain. ;)

Oh, goodness, I would not say that! (But thank you both!) Melanie, your spreadsheet idea was genius, and I don't think I could have kept up half so well without it. ;) I don't know how you ever manage the whole challenge!

Just let me know if you need a hand posting for the rest of our current verse. Looks like we're pretty much set for the next two as well! :)

I think you are. ;) Thanks - I always love spreadsheets for challenges. It can be a little overwhelming, at times, but all the teams have been so helpful with the posting and it makes it not quite as difficult. I've been slacking a little with updates, though, and I wish I was more on top of things.

Oh, I am perfectly fine with you posting any of my books I've finished, if I haven't done it and we are on the verse. Sorry for holding us up. :/

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

Invisible is taking me way longer to read than I expected, so if anyone has an I/Y book, feel free to move mine. Otherwise, I'll just try to finish it by tomorrow. Thanks! :D

[Angie]

I have one I might be able to finish by today. I'll post if you don't get to it first. ;) Y's are definitely getting hard to come by!

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

I finally finished Invisible. I loved it! I'll post my books shortly... unless someone else wants to and beats me to it. ;)

[Kimberly]

I am currently reading and

I will be done soon, please place them where they would fit best, without stepping on anyone's reading mojo.

[Angie]

Ugh, ladies, I am so sorry! I didn't hit a reading slump; I hit a reading wall! The good news is that part of the reason was that I've been super inspired for writing lately, but unfortunately reading and editing my own works in progress doesn't help this challenge at all. :P

Between that and training videos from work and being sick the last few days, I've fallen behind on pretty much everything. Still have more training videos to watch today, but I'll try to do what I can after that. :)

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

No worries, Angie! Glad to hear about the inspiration to write! :)

Thanks, Melanie! Yes, it's been a really productive months in some ways...just not others! XP

Kim, I've added these two to the spreadsheet. Let us know when you've finished, so it can be posted. :D

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

REMINDER that the challenge ends in 2 days.
