Sorry, I won't read all I noted down. I moved 2 to next week. I will aim to finish the 3 still left in planning though :)
Let me know if any of them should be prioritized. This week has been crazy at work and every day something happens, so I will aim for 3 since they are half-finished but if something needs priority then I can focus on finishing that one and see what else I manage before time runs out :)

I am going to finish my last book for this round in a few hours.

[Melindam]

And then I will start reading for some Ys for our last round. :)

[Judy]

I'll be finishing two more books today - I'm now so close to the end of Pachinko that I don't want to drag it out longer (plus my library loan runs out tomorrow...). Maybe I'll fit in a novella, depending on how the finishing of those two goes ;)

[Maddy]

You marked the book for R but how it fits is B

[Judy]

Good spot, Maddy! Thanks :)

I’ll fix it when I get back on a computer later

[Maddy]

Sure :)
I was looking at what is left and it just jumped out

[Melindam]

Well spotted Maddy. Was my mistake. I wanted to put it down for the R character. It's now adjusted.

[Melindam]

Just finished my book last planned book (The Glass Lake),so I think I'll just grab a plus one and squeeze it in before the deadline.

@Maddy: I can only see a blurry version of the cover cause I’ve got terrible internet but looks good to me ;)

[Judy]

Thanks, Jackie & qe!

Thanks :)
Description says roadtrip, so maybe I can use it for that, but I will have to read it to know for sure

[Melindam]

Will finish my last book in a hour

[Melindam]

Finished "Kiss me Annabel".

on planning sheet and I am done for this round.

[Judy]

I just checked us in for round 4!

Please don't complete any books until the end of the round :)

And I have to say, AMAZING JOB LADIES! With over 5200 points, this was our best round so far!!! Aaaaaaaaand we cracked the 20000 point mark!!! 💪💪💪

[Melindam]

Yaaaaayyyy! :)

[Jackie]

Woohoo! Great job team!!

[Maddy]

Awesome! :)

[Ora]

Awesome!!!

Pachinko Day 5

[Ora]

Just checked the status SS. Can't believe we are behind by 30 points. My competitive nature is kicking in. I will have to see what books I can find for tasks. The only thing I know I will be reading more books this round.

[Ora]

I think it may be pushing it, however would The Beast work for animal word in title?

[Maddy]

Ora wrote: "I think it may be pushing it, however would The Beast work for animal word in title?"

I don't think so...

[Melindam]

Same here, Ora. :)
It would be so sad & frustrating to lose our 1st place in the last rounds after we have been doing so great all along.

Unfortunately, NO for the Beast-title.

[Jackie]

I'm going to try to step it up this round. Hope we can get our lead back.

Um. Might be my bad. If I had completed Pachinko on time, we would have that 40+20 BOTM bonus. But I will get it this round :)

[Melindam]

It's not your fault, Maddy, so don't feel bad about it!!

[Melindam]

I will be still on holiday, but at home next week, so I will also try to read/listen as much as I can. :)

[Maddy]

Well I kinda do feel bad about not reading as much as I had planned, but this week has been kicking my butt and I am taking the weekend off to go to the country to sunbathe and swim and be lazy :D
High hopes that it will help and I will feel energized and productive again :D

[Ali]

Maddy you read a ton!

I have been on vacation for part of round 3 and 4. I am now doing almost nothing so should be able to read more. I am also very competitive so being behind at the start of this round will make me read more than if we placed in first. The motivation we feel may even help us win!

It will be a tough 2 weeks as obviously Teams Hobbit & Watership Down are upping their reading as well.
