I should finish everything that I've put on the spreadsheet. Two will be finished today and the other tomorrow by late afternoon, maybe earlier.

HI, could you check the page points for Gone with the Wind.
Ora got 0 points and I got 104.

Maybe I read this wrong:
For each book read over 999 pages teams will gain 1000 points

Thanks

It's just wrong on the planning spreadsheet as I was admittedly too lazy to sort out the formula for the 1000+ page books - it's all good in the official spreadsheet, 100 points for both of you :)

The 1000 points in the rules somewhere was a typo

I have one more book I am reading for this week that will work for S, A, C, L. If there are any particular letters we need to complete our word this week let me know. I can always find a short audio or two to listen to in the morning while I am painting my dining room.

[Ali]

Ora, you're right the July BoM is hard to get. I have no chance of getting to the top of the wait list in time. It looks interesting to me so I might buy it but we'll see.

I'm reading through some Dungeons and Dragons guidebooks and I was wondering if they'd count? I'd say they're over 40000 words for sure, but I can't find exact proof of that.

Planning sheet updates.

This was my last completion post before the check-in.

I am onto Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

[Melindam]

To complete our 10th Castle, we need A & S. (I saw your post Devann, about a book coming :)

The rules also allow us 1 incomplete word, so if you still finish a book before our internal deadline, just post it.

Internal Countdown

If not, please wait for our check-in.

AWESOME WORK, LADIES!

[Judy]

I should be able to finish Only When It's Us in time - it has both an A & S (and a couple other letters) :)

I will see if I can find a short audio that works for both A and S on KU or audible romance

[Ora]

I found Screwed that works for A and S. I will have it done before the internal deadline.

[Ora]

I am looking at round 2 books. The majority of my books are shorter than the ones I read for round 1, which means I will probably get more books read. Since we need a lot of E's that's the letter all but two books work for. If we wind up needing any other letters, please let me know since E is the letter I am concentrating on finding.

[Melindam]

That's fine, Ora. We'll give everyone a shout if we are short of other letters. :)
