What in the world is wrong with me.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I got too much going on, my mind isn’t working right. I’m so, so sorry! I was sure I had made the deadline. Geez. *rolls eyes at self*

[[[ Frankie ]]]

At least we can use it for the next one, so that’s a plus! I’ll go back & add the letters it can be used for.

Thank you so much - I can remember that time a lot easier (plus set an alarm for this on my calendar each round!)

[Laura]

I’ve had times where I’ve stared at a countdown trying to figure out if I had missed it or not, because I couldn’t figure out if it was counting up or down! :)

[Laura]

I thought that might be easier to translate to your time zone than 10:00 pm London time. :)

[Michelle]

Great job on round 2, everyone!! Who is ready for round 3?? Get those books on the planning sheet and let’s do this.

[Alysa]

I remember reading somewhere a while ago that it's okay to use The Sun Down Motel for the task "Set in a Hotel" -- yes? Motel/Hotel/Inn are being treated as equivalent here?

[Laura]

Yes, Alysa.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I changed the Contemporary task to the set in South America task. :]

Letters it works for would help in your completion posts. I can easily get title/series/author, but I don't know the characters! :)

I put it down for the two timelines. I'm not sure it works for text only, because it does have the brick wall on there.

[Laura]

One spelling, plus a few extra letters is done!

Thanks!

[Stacie]

Hey! Stacie from Team Odyssey with a request. Can anyone recommend a romance with a Midsummer ball in it that isn't ? I love that book but looking for something new if possible. Thanks!!

[Geri]

We are doing great with all those Qs and Us! We make a good team. 😁

Yeah this team is so on top of hard letters so far!

[Alysa]

@Emeli ... I just happened to notice, it looks like your current book doesn't meet the 160 minimum page count for Wheel...

[Robyn]

I so want to DNF this book I am reading right now. It is awfully painful to read. UGH!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

easy to do now that i'm back from Georgia....miss being home with my family (just mum & daddy) but I had to come back to work ugh!!! everyone is well thank goodness

I'll send her a message in case she doesn't see your post. Thanks for catching that before she finishes. :)

I hate trying to decide if I want to find a new book for a task, or just push through the one I'm part way through when I want to DNF.

Which book?

[Robyn]

I guess I will push through it even though I am getting more and more aggravated, but I'm more than halfway through so I may as well finish it.



I usually love Jodi Picoult but this book has me wanting to throw it across the room, but that would mean I would probably break my kindle lol

I've felt that feeling more than once! :)

[Laura]

2nd spelling is done!

I agree! I haven’t been around much the last couple weeks, but y’all are KILLIN’ IT! I went to see if we needed a Q & discovered most were covered already. Y’all are awesome. :p

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Sorry to hear you’re not enjoying your book, Robyn. I very rarely DNF books, but there are always those few that I just CANNOT finish. & I dunno why, but even then, I feel terrible for it. LOL.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

My book works for U, A, E, or B - but since I had a space saved for me for the E already, I’ll use it for that. But feel free to move it wherever it fits best, of course. :p

[[[ Frankie ]]]

U is probably harder than the E. But I’ll let y’all move it, if we need to.

I am the same I very very rarely DNF a book. I managed to get through this one though and finish it last night. The second half wasn't as terrible. I mean the writing is great just lots of in your face stereotypes.

[Geri]

Robyn wrote: "I managed to get through this one though and finish it last night."

Glad you were able to finish! I have to admit when I’m NOT in a team challenge, I will dnf a book more often if I am struggling. I just finished one yesterday I would have stopped reading if I could. But I’m in full challenge mode right now and I am just powerIng through!

I powered through as well as I was going to use this book for this challenge as well as another one. The second half I guess got better, but the first geez what a struggle.

Laura - Have you figured out how many times we should be able to spell out our word? I ask because I have another Q book. But will wait to see if we need it before I put it in the spreadsheet.
