Woohoo!

[Alaina]

I just posted for Author's initials in RACE. I do have a book that works for Book is tagged Music. I just didn't want to take it yet unless someone finishes a book before me. It will most likely be done tomorrow after my dentist appointment!

It looks like we just need to post for Title starts with W and MPG Cozy Mystery after that. Then we can start posting for Round 2.

[Melanie]

I'm working on the review now for my Title starts with W book and should have it posted later tonight. So that'll just leave the cozy mystery book.

Sounds good!

[Alaina]

I finished and posted the last book for Round 1. I also started a book for MPG Sports for Round 2. Not sure if anyone has a book for that task yet or not. So I will wait to finish the book before adding it to the SS.

If you haven't posted your books for Round 2, I would suggest to do so because it looks like once we post for either 'Features a race' or 'MPG sports' we will have half of that Round already done.

[Saige]

Posted mine for round 2!

[Alaina]

Just a heads up guys! I just picked up a book that works for 'Ball on cover' and a book that works for 'Ice on cover'. So it looks like 'Letters L,I,G,H,T in series title (in any order)' and 'Features a race' unclaimed for our current round - Round 2.

[Melanie]

I finished a book tonight (will have review up tomorrow) for Letters L,I,G,H,T in series title (in any order) tonight, so that just leaves Features a race.

[Alaina]

So my book that I was going to use for ice on cover also works for features a race. Does anyone have a book that works for either of those two? That way we knock them both out? Or no?

[Alaina]

Hey Melanie & Saige, have you two started your books yet? Someday My Duke Will Come and High Spirits? I'm only asking because it looks like tab 3 has some finished books for those tasks.

Also, anyone have a book for the following unclaimed tasks?
Musical instrument on cover
MPG Cozy Mystery
Author's initials in RACE

[Melanie]

I started mine but it can be swapped with the one that's already done since that one can be posted now. No need to hold that spot up for my book.

And I have one started that will work for "MPG Cozy Mystery" which I can post later tonight or tomorrow morning unless someone has one already that works for that spot.

Okay thanks! I will move the books around now :)

[Saige]

Hey, sorry to answer late! I have started my book, "High Spirits." I expect to finish it tonight or tomorrow morning

[Alaina]

Sounds good!

[Saige]

Posted my one for 5+ colors! Looks like we have Musical Instrument on cover and author's initials in RACE left unclaimed

[Alaina]

Yay thanks Saige! Does anyone have a book where the MC is a detective?? It just looks like my book for that task can be moved to Author's initials in RACE. I don't see anything on the other tabs, so let me know!

[Alaina]

Okay just joking, I finished a quick book that works for Author's initials in RACE. So it looks like we just have musical instrument on cover left to be claimed.

[Alaina]

I just found a book that works for instrument on the cover, so I'll start it right now but if anyone finishes a book before me - by all means take the spot.

Then we just need Melanie's book for cozy mystery. Once both spots are taken for Round 1, we can start posting for Round 2 like crazy. It looks like we just need 'Ball on Cover' for the second tab. So if anyone has a book that works for that one then we should be able to knock out Round 2 pretty quickly. Then we can move to tab 3, Round 1.

[Melanie]

I'll have my review posted for Cozy Mystery book in about 15 minutes, just need to finish making dinner first. I had finished the review yesterday but I forgot to post it.

[Alaina]

Sounds good! I will definitely have my book reviewed for music soon! Just posted everyone's book that was reviewed for Round 2 right now. So it looks like we just need the following books reviewed:
The Seventh Plague, Melanie's book
Afterlife, J.D.'s book

We still have one unclaimed task for Round 2 has well - Ball on cover.

[Vicki]

Alaina, thanks for posting all my books for me yesterday! :)

Hmm no I didn't edit the team's spreadsheet to anything different. the only one where I can just edit is the tracking one.

[Melanie]

I posted a super short book I'd reviewed that is only worth 0.25 points (so no task), but I feel compelled to fix our score ending in .25.

hahah same! it's bugging me!

Would a graphic novel give us .25? Because I'm reading one of those rn, and it might help round out the score

Yeah, it will depend on the page count after the 1/4 is taken out of it. But hey, the more the merrier for those page counts!

[Saige]

True, true. It's 416 pages long, so should get a decent amount of points for a graphic novel

[Alaina]

Saige wrote: "True, true. It's 416 pages long, so should get a decent amount of points for a graphic novel"

It looks like it would give you 104 pages total, so that can count towards a category :)

[Saige]

Oh, sweet! I didn't even realize that. I'll check the SS and see where I can fit it

[Alaina]

Saige wrote: "Oh, sweet! I didn't even realize that. I'll check the SS and see where I can fit it"

Sounds good!

[Alaina]

Does anyone have a book that works for our last category for Round 1 - Ball on cover?

[Alaina]

Maria, I put one of your books for Ball on Cover. So that finishes out Round 2, on tab 2. Not sure where your other two could fit on Tab 3, so let me know!

[Alaina]

Also, I posted my books for Round 1, Tab 3. So for everyone else that has a reviewed book, and a claimed task for Round 1 on that tab, you can start posting it :)

[Melanie]

Question, Cindee has the book The Gathering Blue listed for the task "Time' in text (pg/% & quote)". There is an edition of that book where the cover has a ball of yarn on the cover, would that qualify it for the task "Ball on cover"? I know that's a harder task to fill and wondered if her book could be moved to that spot?

This is the edition in question, ball of yarn to the left of the person's neck.

Yes that would work 😌

Perfect!

[Alaina]

Hey Melanie! I'm going to move your book from 'time' in text to MC is a detective. Mostly because Andrew, the MC, is a detective.. if I'm remembering the book correctly lol

[Alaina]

Once that has been posted then we just need a book posted for either 'Book is tagged Music' or 'Musical Instrument on the cover' to complete half of Round 1.

[Celia]

Thanks so much for posting for me and April, Alaina! Too much working, not enough reading/posting going on over here.

[Melanie]

Alaina wrote: "Hey Melanie! I'm going to move your book from 'time' in text to MC is a detective. Mostly because Andrew, the MC, is a detective.. if I'm remembering the book correctly lol"

Yep, he's a detective. I hadn't read the book before so I didn't know if it would work in that spot before reading, so thanks for moving it. I'll have the review up for that one later tonight.

[Saige]

I'll be done with one later tonight

[Alaina]

Saige wrote: "I'll be done with one later tonight"

Okay sounds good! For tagged music or instrument on cover?

[Alaina]

If it's for tagged music, I put a book there but you can definitely take that spot :)

[Alaina]

It looks like we have the following unclaimed:
Round 1:
Author's initials in SNOW
Musical instrument on cover
Delicious treat on cover (any edition)

Round 2:
Features baking
Author's initials in COOKIE
Letters L,I,G,H,T in series title (in any order)
Ice on cover

Does anyone have books for those?

Nothing right now. I'm working on one for a spot I already claimed, so I'll see what's open after I finish it and try to read a new one that fills a category

[Melanie]

My next two reads would work for "Delicious treat on cover (any edition)" and "Features baking".



I can have Wedding Bear Blues for "Delicious treat on cover (any edition)" done later tonight. But if someone else has one for that one, I can move it to the 4th game for MPG Cozy Mystery.

A Good Old-Fashioned Cowboy I won't have done until late tomorrow night, so if someone else has one sooner, I can move it to the 4th game.

[Alaina]

Melanie wrote: "My next two reads would work for "Delicious treat on cover (any edition)" and "Features baking".



I can hav..."

I don't have a book that works for either of those right now. I'm finishing up a BR today and then I will look for something that fits either 'Author's initials in SNOW' or 'Music instrument on cover' so that we can finish Round 1.

[Alaina]

I just picked up a book for musical instrument on cover so if anyone has a book for 'Author's initials in SNOW' let me know.

[Melanie]

Ok work was way longer than usual today, so I didn't have a chance to take a break to write my review for the treat book or start my other book. But I'll start the book tonight after I finally get to eat dinner and then I'll work on reviews.

[Alaina]

It's all good! I totally got distracted by work and reading some ARCs. So I will dive into the musical instrument book now that way I can write the review tomorrow
