OK. Thanks! I did have a book for white cover, but haven’t read it yet. I could not read the book for the challenge. But I will still stop looking for the cursed adventure tag! LOL
FYI, I finished The Titan’s Curse yesterday, and started H2G2, but I can’t update the spreadsheet until tonight or tomorrow, and I don’t think I put tasks in for either of those yet anyway. So, stay tuned :)Also I think I will add another book for a Y... We seem to really need those!
I’ve updated the spreadsheet for Impostors. 🙂

We're halfway through our 2nd spelling!
Adding my books to the sheet from this weekend!

just added it to the spreadsheet but please move where it garners the most points...Rita's Aunt is named Yolanda.
Sallie, I had already put it on the spreadsheet using the Dessert on cover task. If you would rather use it for the celebration task, we need to know what is being celebrated.

I updated the task. I thought about using "set in US" but went with "#3 in series" -- hopefully I will not regret this choice, but I have over a week to let you know if I change my mind again. ;D
Also finished 2 more books today, including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- task is MPG Adventure, if captains would like to verify just in case it drops off ;D
I was also wondering if I could use the "set on a space ship" task, but I don't know if it has to be set on ONE space ship? I mean, at least half of the book takes place on multiple space ships...
I see the Adventure tag. I would say it fits the spaceship task.
Laura wrote: "I see the Adventure tag. I would say it fits the spaceship task."I'll stick to MPG Adventure for now, and let you know before the end of Round 4 if I want to change it (like Titan's Curse).
There's another book I am thinking of reading soon that would also work for set on space ship... Lemme think about it some more.
Sorry I'm being annoying about task choices. ;D
I feel that, Alysa. I always second guess myself about which task to use!
I used the doctor task on a book that worked for something else. My current book has a doctor. I think it’s the third since I read that first one!
I keep coming across things that I never come across AFTER I use the task... or at least I never noticed them before I already used the task :-D

How many days left for CREATIVITY? (I’m sorry! Just wanna make sure I don’t miss the deadline.)

I hit the jackpot! My current book works for R, I, V and Y. 😁 I am putting it down for Y.
Geri wrote: "I hit the jackpot! My current book works for R, I, V and Y. 😁 I am putting it down for Y."Yes!
I found an RH the other day: the guys are Xeno, York, & Zayn! And there's someone doing exercise on the cover!
That’s a great find! Let me know if the series is good.
Geri wrote: "That’s a great find! Let me know if the series is good."I will. I expect to enjoy it. I've loved everything else of hers that I've read. It's Freestyle by Bea Paige
Xeno, York, and Zayn?! It’s like the book was written just for NBRC challenges, lol.
Alysa wrote: "Xeno, York, and Zayn?! It’s like the book was written just for NBRC challenges, lol."My thought exactly! Or AMMP, since the group is 18 & over restricted. :)
Finished another book — it pays to be in a car for several hours and then be unable to sleep for several more hours after arriving at one’s destination, I suppose!I started my next Tagged book. I still have some other (untagged) stuff planned on the spreadsheet, and depending on how fast I can get through, I will try to add at least one more Tagged book for the round. But it looks like we are still pretty short on Tagged books and most of them are mine already...

All the Illuminae books are tagged Battle (probably Space as well). I've got the audios from my library. I'm just holding off on committing until I know for sure about my jury duty. I've still got to call in this evening to see if I have to go in tomorrow.
We've got 2 spellings completely done. #3 just needs some Is, and #4 is waiting on Is, an A, and a V.

Thanks so much, Laura. :]
I have an I in my current book and it's tagged battle. :)
Michelle wrote: "I have an I in my current book and it's tagged battle. :)"Is that Furies of Calderon? :)
I’m on the hunt for an I now! Trying to find one that can fit into some of my other challenges.
I’m waiting for August 1st. More borrows from hoopla become available. And I can start reading my genre of the month books. So I added a few more books to the spreadsheet to get me through the day. 😁

It sure is!
Fellow co-captians - please verify that you see MPG music for this book ;-)

Hey team. Our planning spreadsheet is currently up to spelling #9. But there are blanks in #s 6 - 9, so lets try to fill those in before we put anything into a new one. We'll probably get a 10th at least started, but CREATIVITY is a little longer than our last two words. :)

Yes. I had a Y book, so I moved one of Alysa’s to an I spot. We really need Is!
Completed:
Author: Romy Hausmann
Finished: 8/1
Used for letter: R
Tasks it fits:
6. MPG Thriller
85. family relation in title (does "child" count?)
97. set in eastern Europe (the story takes place in Germany and the Czech border)
118. Multiple points of view
Laura wrote: "Yes. I had a Y book, so I moved one of Alysa’s to an I spot. We really need Is!"Some of my books I have already finished have I names like Irina, Isabella etc. They could probably be switched too if necessary. I’ll look for another I book.
We have a few that can be swapped in for Is. I was just lazy last night and only did the one. :)

I put it down for the family relation. I read one with Child in the title, and we decided that was a family relation. :)

I literally only didn’t DNF that book because we needed more Y’s at the time. So I will feel bad if it ends up on another letter, lol. 😂

I did move one of your's, but I think it was the Dragon one. :)

Great! We need Ys! How does it fit for Y?
I put it down for the Dessert on cover task. Let me know if you want a different task (or you can change it when you update the spreadsheet).
