Team The Hobbit Showing 1,001-1,050 of 1,444

[Mary X]

I should have Irish Wedding finished tomorrow. Burning Up will probably be Friday morning.

[Sophie, The other one]

Rosina - don't worry about which tags are harder. We could do 10 France books if we wanted.

Wonderful Mary! Hope you enjoy them both.

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm off to the beach in an hour or so for the day. Will answer any queries when I get back later.

[Vikki]

What are we like for tags - see we only need 1 more. I can finish my book today, or I can hold off and use it for next week if it's more helpful when we have the same tags

[Camilla]

Finished my last book for round 3.

Thanks Sophie ...have fun at the beach ....hope weather is good....

[Mary X]

Oops. I put the battle tag under the wrong book for round 4. It was supposed to be under Magic Rises not Conjure Women. I fixed it.

[Mary X]

I don't plan to add anything new for round 3 either. I'll just get ahead start on round 4 after I finish Irish Wedding and Burning Up.

[Sophie, The other one]

Vikki - If you can hold off for Saturday morning that would be great. We've got Burning Up to finish this round's tags and that will give us 7 planned for next week already.

Thanks, we've had a lovely time at the beach. Sand everywhere and a little one who nearly fell asleep walking to the car.

Mary - so long as everything is in the right place when the book is finished, nothing to worry about.

No problem, the 2 books I've listed for Round 4 so far will be arriving today so I'll start into the first of them and hold off finishing Reflection until we're into Round 4.
Moved it on SS.

[Camilla]

A day at the beach would be lovely, glad that you enjoyed it! The weather is back to cold again, +13 C and rain...

[Mary X]

I just added another book to the sheet with a flowers tag for R4. It's on hold at the library but it says I'll get it quick.

I'm almost done with Irish Wedding. I was able to listen to a lot of it yesterday and this morning. Also read Burning Up for about an hour before bed last night.

[Nicole]

@Sophie @Victoria I'm just finishing off my book for today. Let me know what I should focus on tomorrow to help us for Round 2. I can do 3-4 books of 300-500 pages.

[Tonya Marie]

I just updated the spreadsheet. Thanks to a "glorious" migraine, there was no reading happening yesterday and won't be any today since I have to use brain power on work.

The Unhoneymooners will be added to Round 4. I will continue with Ironhand, but not promising that I will finish listening to it this round. I will have it noted either done or moving forward by the 2-hour prior deadline tomorrow.

@Sophie - enjoy the beach!!!

[Samantha]

Enjoy the beach! :) I'm going to try and find one more audiobook to listen to before the end of this round. I think I'm going to save Vengeful for next week for the V. I don't think it works for many letters this round!

[Sophie, The other one]

Vikki - wonderful, hope the new books started are good!

Camilla - Bleurgh, hope it gets warmer again. We seem to have a couple of weeks at about 21 here which is about right as far as I'm concerned.

Mary - great, you are making fab progress with books atm.

Nicole - daily update should be posted shortly which will give more of an idea of where things can fit.

Tonya - hope the migraine is much better and that work didn't use up all your brain power.

Samantha - Saving things for V is great, especially if it works for more next week too.

We had a fab time at the beach, but there is now sand everywhere!

[Sophie, The other one]

Looking below, I'm pretty confident we'll finish spellout 8 and get going on spell out 9, so if you are going to pick books based on letters to finish tomorrow (mainly looking at Nicole here!) then the letters ERIN and O would be a good place to start.

Completed spell out: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

[Camilla]

Sophie: there are several characters in The Trudeau Vector with more difficult letters, I just haven't had time to update the SS. I think there's at least Vasili and Yevgeny for the more difficult letters, if you want to change.

[Sophie, The other one]

The places I put things in that list often end up being changed/juggled as more letters come up or people finish things that only go in one place! It's a pretty flexible guide to where our reading has got to... V and Y are both great to have found.

Looking at the books planned, V looks about ok. Y and I are more of a struggle, but I know we'll find loads by the time the round is done.

[Jenn]

I will finish witchy business tonight.

Would it be helpful if I finish Astrophysicas for people in a Hurry today, or do you want me to wait til next round?

Also finished Hexes and Hemlines last night. I'll update spreadsheet now. It works for multiple letters.

[Tonya Marie]

If you want me to pause on Ironhand for an "I" for next round, I can do that! Just let me know - it's audio, I have plenty of music to listen to while I work instead. :)

[Nicole]

@Sophie @Victoria For Round 4 I was thinking we should see who has books for V and Y? That way we aren't all reading for the same letter and can see how many words we can create in the two weeks.

[Sophie, The other one]

Morning everyone!

Jenn - finishing astrophysics tomorrow would be great. Will give us our 1st tag nice and early in the round.

Tonya - keep going with it.

Nicole - good plan. I'll make a clear announcement post in a bit when I'm on my laptop not my phone.

Just finished Thief's Magic. I'd be surprised if I finish anything else today but it's not impossible.

[Nicole]

Does this count as a forest on the cover?

[Sophie, The other one]

I'd say yes

[Nicole]

Sophie wrote: "I'd say yes" Thanks!

[Mary X]

There's already 7 prospective books on the sheet for V and 4 for Y. I added some for both yesterday.

[Mary X]

I finished my last 2 for Round 3. Going to pick tasks for them now.

[Mary X]

Sorry if I'm over stepping, just want to be helpful. I see a few books with no tasks on the R3 spreadsheet and I have some time.

Jennifer's book Hexes and Hemlines is more than 50% green if she hasn't used that task yet. Task #41. I also know that those are in 1st for task #149 and it's the 3rd in the series for task #92. Also #108 book on cover.

Sophie's book Thief's Magic works for MPG Fantasy if she hasn't used that.

[Mary X]

Those are the only 2 I saw and won't be offended if my suggestions for tasks aren't used.

Now off to update myself on the task sheet because I've lost track of the ones I've used.

[Sophie, The other one]

I tend to end up picking tasks as I update the SS to the official one so there will definitely be a task there! Thanks for the other suggestions.

I'll look through some books later. Have nothing that obviously works for Y or V but sure something will be on scribd, KU or my library app.

[Mary X]

I'm just procrastinating at being productive in my real life.

[Sophie, The other one]

Definitely understand doing that from experience!

Scribd has found me 3-4 Y books I'll add to the sheet. Most will work somewhere else too.

[Tonya Marie]

Sophie wrote: Tonya - keep going with it."

Will be finished by time to update.

[Nicole]

@Camilla @maria helena @rosina Hopefully one of you are able to help me out. I read Angels Flight and can't find the Amazon version: https://www.amazon.com/Michael-Connel... ASIN: B0037471XK

The page number (513 pgs) are higher than the versions on GR.

If any of you are able to, would you mind adding the new version please? Thanks!

[Sophie, The other one]

Looking below, I'm pretty confident we'll finish spellout 8 and get going on spell out 9, so if you are going to pick books based on letters to finish tomorrow (mainly looking at Nicole here!) then the letters ERIN and O would be a good place to start.

Where books will work for a tricky letter (Y, V, I) I've put them in those spaces and we can fill in the gaps after. I suspect we'll get up to 10 spell outs if reading continues as it has been so that's 10 Y/V and 20 I

Sophie - you can go ahead and count on Silvertongue wherever it fits because I will start that here in an hour or so when I finish Ironhand so that I have the trilogy finished! =)

[Nicole]

All done!

@Sophie @Victoria Should I read a book for L or I for #9? I can read a +/-200 pg book.

[Samantha]

It looks like we have I covered with Inferno so I think L would work best! :)

I'm listening to The Sun Is Also a Star which will work for R or T on characters I believe.

[Nicole]

Ok 😊

[Sophie, The other one]

Thanks for that Samantha! I'm not expecting Natasha's book to get finished but I've left it there in case!

A quick L book would be fab.

[Mary X]

If I look for anything else for R4, I'll try to find an I. Won't be a hardship to squeeze in another Ilona Andrews book or 2. Or to swap something out for one. I kind of missed there being 2 in the word because I was focusing on Y and V as harder letters.

Not going anywhere but work, the lodge and grocery shopping has sure added to my reading time. Sometimes I just drive around listening to an audio book in the car to get out of the house.

Really tempted to go the beach by myself Sunday morning. So I can sit and read if I want to and listen to an audio in the car.

[Jenn]

I finished Witchy business

Updating the spreadsheet now

I'm fine with Hexes and Hemlines counting as the green task. Will update.

[Samantha]

Geez, Murder on the Orient Express is killing it!

That edition was already here: Angels Flight, I corrected the nr of pages to 513.

[Camilla]

By the way, have we heard anything from Cassie, is she still playing with us?

[Nicole]

Thanks! Totally did not see it 🙈

Samantha wrote: "Geez, Murder on the Orient Express is killing it!"

And Watership Down coming in from nowhere! 😭

[Nicole]

That's it from me for Round 3. Will try my best to up the page numbers for Round 4.

Great job everyone!
