Thank you!

I am changing my books around again. I cna't believe I just remembered the Jane Yellorock series. I enjoy that one so much more than Otherworld and will switch the books for the two tasks I have for my other Y books.

[Ora]

Do we need Y's or X's more? I may switch one of the BDB books for a Jane Yellowrock book with one of the tasks.

[Ora]

Would any of these work for exercise or hobby on cover? I was thinking marital arts fighting.

[Melindam]

Exercise, definitely. I am not sure about hobby. :)
@Judy: what say you? :)

[Judy]

Luckily I’m in the middle of a lake where there’s good internet for once ;)

I agree, exercise sure but hobby probably not

[Annalisa]

Not sure if you saw or not but you got DQ’s for Spin the Dawn, Maddy.

[Melindam]

Thanks for alerting us, Annalisa.

[Annalisa]

No problem. I hope I’m able to get a copy of it soon. I have a hold on it.

Awesome! At least it can work for one of the tasks.

[Ora]

I need to double check when the BOM started. I already got the book from my library and will make sure I am ready to go on day 1 and follow the reading schedule.

[Judy]

It starts on the 16th, on Sunday :)

I’ve got the ebook out from the library but I’d rather have the audio - which I can’t find :( I’m not all that into YA fantasy anymore but oh well, I’ll do it for the points...

Should be good, thanks! :)

[Ora]

I screwed up yesterday. I reversed an order of two BDB books. Once I realized that, I stopped The Shadows and then started The King. I hope I can get both books done today and then go back to Jane Yellowrock books. At least BDB books are going for a lot of letters we need this round.

[Judy]

Don't worry, Ora :) thanks!

Quick question. I'm listening to The 100, can I use it for an O because of the title?

[Annalisa]

Does Westerns work for MPG Western or does it need to be exact?

@Annalisa: I say, Westerns MPG in plural are ok.
As for The 100, I would say it could work for O, but let's wait for Judy's opinion as well.

[Judy]

I’d say O doesn’t work for 100 - it starts with a number, not a letter... but the T still works :)

[Ora]

Are we doing okay with O's? I have gotten a little tunnel vision with X and Y. I have The Only Good Indians marked for MPG thriller as one of the books I was hoping to get to. The audio is available on scribd. I can work it in today. I have about an hour left in my current book. Out of the books I am working to complete first, I need to wait to start the next BDB book tomorrow so I can use it for another challenge.

[Judy]

Feel free to pick up whatever you want, not everything has to be an X or Y :)

[Maddy]

Really? :D
then you don't want me to dig up any more I ? :D

[Judy]

Haha 😂 it still can’t hurt to find as many of those as possible 😉 but we’ve got a few books allocated to “easier” letters so far that we could move should we be really short on something

[Judy]

By the way, I’ve updated the spreadsheets earlier with all the books you ladies finished since yesterday, but the WiFi here doesn’t like my laptop & it lost the connection halfway through. I’ll force it to sync via mobile data later today 😊

[Maddy]

Well I am focusing on H and I mostly, but I need to do a bit of planning in my task choices so everything fits.. I will sort it out at some point later :)

[Judy]

That’s great 😊

[Ora]

BDB books are great for multiple letters, looks like Jane Yellowrock isn't bad for multiple letters either. It really is difficult finding books when we are bound by using tasks only once.

[Annalisa]

Thank you. Realized when I was listening to The 100 last night there is a character named Octavia so works for O because of her.

[Ora]

Just double checking for MPG Urban Fantasy

a book tagged on the book page Fantasy>Urban Fantasy will work?

[Judy]

Yep Ora, the BDB books are perfect for this!

I’ve only read half as many books as you and I’m already struggling to make some books work for tasks.

And yep, that works for Urban Fantasy 😊

[Ora]

Cool. I have tried to save as many "easy" tasks for me and it is still hard.

[Maddy]

Stretching it a bit probably, but , text only? Or does that leaf ruin everything? :D
