Michael McMahan (mcmahamg) | 55 comments Forgot to update that I’m reading The Grace of Kings! Almost finished. Will post in the morning on what cards this can cover, and I’m thinking it’ll be a lot. Tons of characters and locations through the story.

Hi Maddy, welcome to the team. I think we have been on a team challenge before together. Your replacing a drop in books we had because of real life challenges for a member. Looking forward to playing with you.

Thank you. If you want to read it again feel free I might pick it up as well, if I have time and the library has a copy. We get 30 additional points if someone reads it.

Maddy | 625 comments Yup, I remember we have been in a team :)

Do you know about my books? I mean if I am joining in February, can I post books I read in the whole February or just starting from date joined?


message 157: by Ashley (new)

Awesome! :)
And what about procedure?
Post in thread and captains organize in SS or post in thread and SS myself?

Edit: Never mind, I see SS is closed, so no entering there :)

Annalisa | 1659 comments ****Spread Sheet Updated to Here****

We have eight 7s left for the month. I've been trying to use any book that works for a seven as a seven. I don't think it will be an issue.


message 177: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 625 comments So after the countdown runs down, we all read A is for Alibi?


message 178: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments We read books that connect to A is for Alibi. Can be pretty much any connection.


Here are some possible examples:
Both set on west coast.
Both have female main characters trying to solve a mystery
Both MPG mystery
Both have green covers
Both have the same page numbers


We only get the 30 point extra one time, but if you want to read A is for Alibi go ahead. You don’t have to though.

It’s still pretty early and I know my audio book was a little long so that slowed me down. I’m pretty sure we will complete the mini and all our hands.
