green enough?

[Ora]

I have another question. I didn’t really think about it until I saw the task again. Task 109 read a book in epistolary eg diary, letter, email. The book I finished today What the Wind Knows the end of each with part of Thomas’s diary. Some entries are longer than others. Does that count? By the way the book is on KU if anyone needs to look to see if that is sufficient.

[Ora]

I’m not sure if anyone else has considering doing the Morris dancing task, however I found The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer. I was able to download it from hoopla. Not sure if it will be any good, but it’s a cozy mystery and only 224 pages.

If it's listed on the main page, yes.

Ok. I was hoping to use a harder task

I say yes!"

Thank you!

[Annalisa]

I finished Come Tumbling Down yesterday. I updated the SS but forgot to post here. I listened to the audiobook so used the default for page number.

Thanks Annalisa. I already added it to the official sheet as I saw it updated on the planning S and I checked your shelf. :)

[Annalisa]

Thanks.

[Ora]

With MPG tasks, should I take a screen shot of the book page just in case MPG changes?

[Melindam]

Only, if your chosen MPG is the last one listed

[Ora]

Melindam wrote: "Only, if your chosen MPG is the last one listed"

K thanks!

[Ora]

For series with 31+ books, do novella counts? I am almost 1/3 of the way through Christine Feehan's Dark series. With novellas, there are over 31 books released books in the series and want to know if that will work.

Hey everyone :) how's it going?

Just to get a better overview of what’s still coming: Which books do you think you’ll finish before the deadline for Round 1?

Melinda and I would also like you to finish your last Round 1 books by 6pm CET (5pm UK time / 12pm EST) tomorrow so we can make sure everything is ready in good time for the check-in. Here's a countdown timer for our internal check-in.

We'll let you know once we're officially checked in - which means no finishing books between the check-in and the end of the round, because they won't count anymore.

Let's see whether we can finish a 9th sandcastle! Ours looks at least as good as this one:

[Melindam]

WOW! What a sight! :D

[Maddy]

Yup, that could definitely be our sandcastle ;D
I will try to finish "Five feet apart" before deadline because more letters than next word ;D
Maybe one more book too, but maybe not

[Maddy]

"Five feet apart" letters you already know, my other book might be L(title) , C (author) , T (character)

[Judy]

Thanks for the update, Maddy :)

[Judy]

Does this work for "Read a book with text only cover"? Does it look brown or grey (or something else) to you?

[Maddy]

Looks grey on my phone :)

[Maddy]

and I think it counts as text only

[Ora]

I am going at least 3 completion posts today, maybe four. I have Spectrum coming out today at 10 am and hopefully figure out why I am having so much trouble with my internet.
I am a little frustrated with the next BOM. A couple weeks ago copies were available with the ebook and audiobook. Now there is a wait list. For the ebook I am number 26 out of 15 copies and number 6 out of 5 audiobook copies. I have an approximate 3 week wait for the audiobook. Hopefully it won't take that long to get a copy.

Good for both Text and grey.

Thank you, Ora.

[Judy]

Cool, that was definitely one of the more difficult tasks :)

[Judy]

Good luck, Ora! I hope your internet gets sorted :)

[Ora]

I just looked up Dear Martin at my library. I have holds for both audiobook and ebook. Each one is about a 4 week wait. Hopefully it won't be that long. Wished July's BOM were available on scribd or hoopla.

I will not be able to finish Sapiens before the deadline Friday. That is my only book on the planning sheet right now. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish anything else but I’m not sure.

No worries Annalisa. The question was for us to plan our check-in for tomorrow.
