Just a heads up:Michelle will probably be posting soonish a time we need to have our round 1 books done by. The Countdown I posted is actually the check-in deadline, at which point our spreadsheet will be locked, so we need a bit of time to get our books checked/verified and everything transferred to the main one.

Perfect! And Robyn finished hers, so we're good!

I like our next word. Not a lot of 1 letter. I have a book for D, Y and I already. 😀

Yodelling? Oh, no! So many vowels (& L’s)! LOL.
Laura, do I need to post a legit completion post here in the thread? Or is it okay if I just do like I’ve been doing & post the necessary info on the planning sheet? I don’t mind posting a completion post here, too, if I need to... but if I didn’t need to, I wasn’t gonna worry about it.
[[ Frankie ]] wrote: ". Yodelling? Oh, no! So many vowels (& L’s)! LOL."LOL We had the opposite reaction. I don’t mind Ls. What I don’t like are short words. Less letters, less chance a book will work.
I’m gonna squeeze in a short book for that last Z we have, too. Now to go see which task I’m gonna use it for. :p

I don’t mind L’s as much as I mind all those vowels.😂
Frankie, just putting the completion date on the spreadsheet is fine. We check it daily and verify the books to make sure everything is fine. :)

It could be worse. We could have gotten PUB QUIZZING! That's what Team Hobbit had first round, and for second round they get ISLAND HOPPING!
Nobody panic! I'm moving things to the main spreadsheet, and then I'll organize our unfinished books into what we have left! :)
On the official spreadsheet we have:3 complete spell-outs
1 just waiting for T & O
We have 1 complete spell-out planned, and one that only needs P & E.
I'm hoping to get one more book in, in addition to the ones I have on the planning spreadsheet.
I have the following books that im adding to the spreadsheet....The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz, Erik Larson -that will take care of the "T" or "E" 585 pages 06/23/20 and The 18th Abduction, James Patterson...which takes care of "T", "P" or "E". 383 pages 06/24/2020
Sallie, will you be able to finish both of those by Friday, 1:00 Pacific coast time?
they are finished...I was going to add them to the spreadsheet but it is read only....so I will place them on my shelf now if someone who has access could add them for me please....
The official spreadsheet is only for the captains to edit, but you can add them to the planning spreadsheet. I can add them for you in a bit, but what tasks do you want to use them for?
Laura wrote: "The official spreadsheet is only for the captains to edit, but you can add them to the planning spreadsheet. I can add them for you in a bit, but what tasks do you want to use them for?"give me a bit and I will look - I was just excited to add almost 600 pages with one book lol
Laura wrote: "The official spreadsheet is only for the captains to edit, but you can add them to the planning spreadsheet.

I’ll have my O & my Z finished before the deadline!
I am still on track to finish my remaining two books, but just in case I don’t have enough time (things a little nuts IRL right now), I will try to focus on my T book first, since it’s got the final tag bonus.The other book is an O that can just be moved to next week’s word if I don’t manage to finish it. I should know for sure either way by early Friday morning. :)
Hi everyone! So we have 1 day 17 hours roughly before our spreadsheet gets LOCKED for editing. That means we will need a little time to get your final books moved from the planning sheet to the official sheet. Please try to have all books completed and posted on the planning sheet or in this thread no later than 1 hour before the deadline.End of round countdown is here:
https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...
Be sure you take the time zone difference into account when getting your final books posted! I'm on the west coast of the US, so it is an 8 hour difference for me (2pm Friday).
As you are finishing up those final books, start planning for word #2:
Word: Yodelling
Tags: Switzerland, Mountain, Freedom, Breathing, Winter
I have a .... surprising number of TBRs that have those new tags. So weird.
Off to check my shelves. Hoping I can find some tags this round.
Michelle wrote: "Off to check my shelves. Hoping I can find some tags this round."Those don't look like tags I'll find many of. :)
I am reading my last book for this round. It will be done before the deadline!
I'll have my book finished later tonight!
I know I look crazy, with 3 books still unfinished on the spreadsheet, but I just finished one. The other two are both under 200 pages, so I should be done with all of them today. I may get one more in. :)

Look what one enterprising team found!
Geri, how did you like Signs of Cupidity? If you liked that one, I highly recommend her Pack of Misfits series!

Alysa, I’ve started listening to the next Guild Hunter book. It’ll be close to finish in time, but hopefully if your real life things are too crazy, between us one of us will finish off that last tag. :)

No problem. I want to listen to the whole series before the next one comes out anyway. :)
You guys are awesome! We have some amazing readers on this team.Four spell-outs done, almost done with the 5th. Go team go! We can finish a 6th spell out if we all complete our books.
I have a little bit left of Outcast to finish in the morning. My eyelids are closing. 🥱
I am having a small freak-out about which of my Round 2 book I should start first, and whether I try to do more tagged books instead of just 2-3, in case y’all have trouble finding stuff, but I will literally go sleep on it... 😴
Done! Outcast, updated on spreadsheet.
