Team Don Quixote

[Michelle]

I'm finishing mine up right now! Give me 20 minutes or so.

[Michelle]

I made the switch, Geri. And my book worked for E as well as Q, so I swapped it around.

10 spellings done and working on the 11th!

[Michelle]

Just need a Q and U to finish the 11th spell out. Go team go!

[Robyn]

Finished 7/24 for letter U -title

I have to go through the task list tomorrow while finishing up my book for Q. I will post in the morning.

[LaurLa]

My U is finished! Do we need anything else?

[LaurLa]

LaurLa wrote: "My U is finished! Do we need anything else?"

ETA since Robyn's U was used instead, it also works for B, A and E.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I have one more to add!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I have a Q if we need it.

The Queen of All that Dies 7/24

[Alysa]

I haven’t been able to read much since Wed, but starting tomorrow I will have more reading time.
Not much left of The Graveyard Book, which is another re-read/read-aloud for my daughter and should be done by tomorrow evening. I am hoping to plow through a lot of books in the last 2 rounds of Wheel!

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I have my “B” book finished if someone one will kindly add to the spreadsheet.

[Michelle]

I'll add it, Sallie. Hold on.

[Geri]

I updated the spreadsheet with my last book for this round. I started books last night for the next round. Trying to get a head start since they are longer.

If you've finished it, we can use it somewhere!

[Laura]

I've just finished Peace Talks. Any other Dresden fans in here? If so, I suggest you wait and see if the next book really does come out in September. Because that was a doozy of a cliffhanger!

[Laura]

I put it down for the MPG Dystopia task. :)

[Laura]

We got 11 full spellings! Our partial 12th was only missing an A & and E!

[Robyn]

I had an emergency earlier with a cat my mother brought in from outside. With covid we couldn't get a damn spay on her until 2 months out and we didn't know she was pregnant until a few days ago. Well she is in the process of labor and I am a nervous wreck!

Oh my. I just went thru this with a stray Momma Kat. She had a litter of 5 wee babies. All but one have been adopted. Boots Sam Loki Casper and Thor. Pretty much all over the place in their names. Don’t panic Momma Kat will know what to do, I promise. I worried because I wanted to make sure they had food and water. Drove my husband nuts. Lol.

The last baby kitten I rescued was hours old and abandoned. We named him Spartacus. He just turned a year old this summer and still carries his baby blanket around the house with him lol

[Carrie]

Good luck Robyn. I hope all turns out well. It's sweet that you are making sure mom and babies are taken care of :)

Thanks! They sucker me in with their cute little faces. hence, why I have 10 cats who boss me around!

I’m the same way because I adopted Loki even after hubby said NO. Haha. Showed him. Lol. We both love Loki. He looks Siamese. Momma was solid black can’t tell which male stray is Daddy since Loki has none of their colorings. Loki has gorgeous ice blue eyes & the Siamese yowl. He’s a handful.

[Carrie]

Sallie - Loki sounds beautiful!!

Robyn - Wow! 10 cats! We’ve taken in 3 strays over the past 4 years and I thought I was tipping the scales lol! Each time I’ve told my husband that we’ll find a good home for kitty. Ends up being ours!

THAT'S WHY I'M WAITING! Come on, Jim.

[Michelle]

Really great round, everyone! Laura is the master of juggling our letters and maximizing all of our books.

I was listening to the audio, because James Marsters is superb as Dresden, and I almost threw my phone across the room. It's actually not exactly a cliffhanger, more like a non-ending. But the pre-order for the next one is already up on Audible, so I'm hopeful!

[Laura]

We have 5 full time cats, 1 very part time cat, and one Momma cat that we see once a year or so.

Another goodreads friend just finished this too. She said the same thing. It’s nice Butcher isn’t making his readers wait too long!

[Geri]

We’ve got 2 spoiled cats. They can be a pain sometimes, LOL, but they make us laugh every day and we love them to bits!

[Laura]

Geri, we’ve been waiting 6 years for this book! The release date was pushed back multiple times! So I’m really hoping the release date sticks for the next one!

[Cindee]

Reading has been super slow this month I plan to read at least 6 more books this month.

[Alysa]

Hi all! My internet is going to be a little spotty for next few days.
But! Finished The Graveyard Book and started two more things. :)

Thanks, Laura.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Guys, I have had to unexpectedly move at the last minute, which is why I haven’t been around much for the last week or so. My new place won’t be ready until the 30th, then I’ll be moving stuff out of storage into the new place. So I won’t be around a whole lot until after the 1st or 2nd, but after that I’ll be back to normal for the most part. I’ll still be reading & everything. But just wanted to give y’all a heads up as to what’s going on. :p

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Added another finished book.

[Alysa]

Librarian request please!:

Can somebody add a new paperback edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with the same 193 page count as the edition in the link above, no ISBN either (because 9780345418913 is taken by a later printing), publisher Del Rey, year 2009, and the following cover as seen here:

https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Book...

I want to use it for SPACE tag :)

I'm going to put Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder down for the Dessert on cover task. Unless you had something else in mind?

I did this Alysa but that ISBN really belongs with the new cover but Amazon is using that white cover for that ISBN and I'm not going to try and fight against Amazon. But when you use the look inside feature of that white cover, what appears is your cover with the 9780345418913 ISBN. Until Amazon is corrected though, I don't have the power to move the ISBN to the correct cover.

Here's the link https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Yep, I know... which is why I said no ISBN either (just like the default Ed) because 9780345418913 is taken by a later printing.
I think Amazon just hasn’t updated the “look inside” feature to include the cover of the latest printing, is all.
Thanks LaurLa!

Have a good move, Frankie!

[Geri]

Every time I find a book tagged Adventure, by the time I want to use it, the tag is no longer on the main page. Frustrating!

[Laura]

Geri, have Michelle, LaurLa, or I look at it to verify that it’s on the main page, and then it’s fine even if it drops off.

[Geri]

If only I thought of that earlier. Twice I had to switch tasks for a book. This time the book doesn’t work for any available tasks. I think I’ll stop now trying to fill that task!

Thanks, Geri! It’s been extremely stressful - but it seems everything will be working out!

[Robyn]

I am working on:



It will be for an A - character name - Anna

Geri, I can't find anywhere where you used a the White cover task, #111. You were going to use it for Uglies, but then we saw that it was recommended by another team.

Additionally, if After the Flood works for something else, you could use Imposters for the MPG Science Fiction task.

[Sallie(GeorgiaGirl)]

I’m reading ...not exactly sure what task this on fits but it will cover R C or Y
