Posted my list.

I'll take a look at some of the harder ones and see if I can find something to fill them ... in case we need them.

I had planned on at least 1 book completed yesterday ... but it's hard to read when you have a 75 pound baby on your lap. Our dog doesn't like thunder & lightening and he wanted all my attention yesterday & last night. Things didn't get quiet here until around 11PM. We didn't get any tornadoes where I live ... they were south of us, but we had rain by the tons (7 inches or more) and hail and all the rest of it ... pretty much all day.

I did manage 50 more pages this morning and added them to the results for today.

Snezana

I am assigning the making new friends one for Shadow and Bone. I sent you a question about your other assignment :)

[Trisha]

Karin, I’m not sure if I’ll be finishing any book today (not in the best of health today) but I will be updating my page count in a while. Also, you are yet to mark prompt 25 Read 3 books by an author who has written 25 or more books complete for me which I finished yesterday, please see msg# 213. I know how confusing it can get for you to track all of our updates. Can we do anything to make it easier for you?

I’m pasting last night’s update below:

Updated msg#148.

It’s my mistake. I posted two updates in a difference of 2-3 hours. You considered the first one(msg#211), so there’s another one pending (msg#213). Totally my fault. I will only post one update every day now. 😬

Thanks, no problem. I have assigned you one more; I am not sure about the book I haven't yet assigned you given what everyone wants to read, etc.

[Alyana]

Hi Karin, can you assigned me a couple more tasks? I should be done with my L book tomorrow. Thank you.

[Karin]

Alyana wrote: "Hi Karin, can you assigned me a couple more tasks? I should be done with my L book tomorrow. Thank you."

Sure, later today as I am nearly done my morning time here.

Actually, I do have another I know I'll assign you--I had it marked.

[Angie]

Hi Captain Karin!

Update to message #149

Finished my first book today and completed one prompt:
✔ Twelve Red Herrings
book with a 12 in the title - ASSIGNED
book by author who has written 25 or more books
book by author who has written for 25+ years

[Karin]

Okay, just got on for my last check in today. I'll work on this now and get things updated ASAP.

[Karin]

Hi all,

Great reading so far :)!

FYI - I have just assigned the third task/book for "a book you shelved the first month you joined this group."

It's a great idea to keep checking the tracking sheet and perhaps find different tasks for books you have if you haven't already or look around for other books.

For all who read a lot of books in a shorter time--I don't want to assign something just because it's open right away if a slower reader has that as one of their options and they are reading fand updating regularly I may wait some days, first.

Great job, all, and happy reading!!!

[Karin]

A reading song (humour) but it's by Julian Smith (I am not normally a fan of his, but this was funny in its own way) BUT if anyone has epilepsy, it has flashing lights in parts of it.

Hi Alyana,
I'm subbing in for Karin for the first half of Sunday. She will be back again later today.
I'm not a 100% clear on whether she gave you a new assignment, or not. Do you need a new one now, or are you sorted for the time being?

Hi Angie, yes Karin gave me a new assignment yesterday but she must've probably missed my update when she gave me one. I'm currently reading my L book. And yes, I can have a new assignment if that's okay?

Alyana, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Wasn't expecting that...you're several timezones away from me. :-)

How about The Choice for "12th book on your TBR" as a next assignment? Would that be ok?

I updated the spreadsheet for The Broken Girls.

Angie wrote: "Trisha, you're a reading machine! Glad you are on our team ;-)"

Haha, I wish! Look at my deteriorating page counts, but I partly hold my health responsible for the decline. If not for Alyana sharing her audio books so generously with me on such short notice, I wouldn't have been able to get any reading done these 2 days (thanks Alyana!). I will try to cover up as soon as I'm feeling fine again!

And I'm so glad to be grouped with you folks - dream team! :)

Trisha, I have given you the last assignment I could with the books you have :)

[Trisha]

Karin wrote: "Trisha, I have given you the last assignment I could with the books you have :)"

Karin, please feel free to assign any prompts you think will be difficult to complete (except for a book read in 2012), I will find the appropriate books to finish those prompts.

You can also change the two prompts you’ve already assigned to me that are yet to be completed, since the page count that I’ve covered will still be counted towards earning wild cards.

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you Wed :)

[Karin]

@Trisha

I am going to put your assignments on the sheet as well. I don't want to make too many at once, but right now:

ASSIGNED - one book - Read 4 books that include a party or anniversary celebration. (I have one I'll be reading and as far as I can see, that's it, but if anyone has something I missed, let me know).

ASSIGNED - one book - book in a series of 4.

I can do more later, but this should be enough for the next day or so :)

[Karin]

You may already know this, but ANY book you read during this time can count toward our wild cards, even if they don't fit a prompt. So all pages read and all hours of listening help the team :)

So, if you have to read a book for school or work those pages or hours count :). Or if you are waiting for a new assignment for some reason (I try to be quick) you can still read pages to help earn wildcards that can help us with any task we don't fill. However, if everyone keeps up what they are doing, we are on the right track to filling them :)

Happy reading!
