[Jillian]

Welcome to the team Kellie!

[Alyana]

Welcome to the team Kellie! I will add your books to the ss. :)

[Kathy]

I just finished A Share in Death, which I added for "a book with gold on the cover."

Welcome to the group!

[Alyana]

Hi all, I wasn't able to listen much the past couple of days, my daughter was sick.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she's feeling better soon.

[Alyana]

Thank you Kendra. She is getting better now..

[Kendra]

I finished Cursed Luck and I used for the book told in first person.

[Deborah]

Welcome to the team Kellie! For me, today was a slow reading day. But I did manage to finish a book that was not on my original plan for the week. (Cheers to Eternity: Lessons We've Learned on Dating and Marriage). I put it down as a short book (101 pages...barely qualifies for the prompt.) Hopefully, I will find more time to read tomorrow. I am making progress on both Martin the Warrior and A Star Rising.

I hope your daughter feels better. Good Luck!

[Alyana]

Thank you Deborah. :)

[Alyana]

Finished The Kiss Quotient. Updated on ss.

[Joan]

Would a devil count for a fantastical creature? Looking where else to slot Horns.

I think it would count in my opinion.

[Nancy]

I would count it.

I got a lot of audio time in this weekend, and managed to sit down with my Kindle for a couple of hours yesterday too.

[Kathy]

I finished The Salt Path and counted it for "an adventure book."

[Nancy]

We're almost done with our first Brigantine and our first Sloop! Way to go ladies!

And today it works on any and all browsers, especially Chrome which is my default! LOL

Chrome was probably not in the mood the other day LOL

Yaayy!! :D

Happy Monday! When I opened the spreadsheet this morning I was impressed with all the completed books listed! YAY US! 😝✨✨🎇🎇✨✨

On Saturday I finished Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha and counted it for "A book with a mostly green cover" in the Brigantine category. It would also fulfill "A book featuring a thief" in the Galleon category, as well as many others, in case it needs to be shifted by either captain. :)
I didn't have as much reading time yesterday as I had hoped, but should finally finish Sharks in the Time of Saviors tonight (Not super-impressed with this one thus far...) and make more progress on The Secret Garden and How to Be an Antiracist.

I guess you can see that I am what I term an "eclectic reader"!

I love the Stephanie Plum series! What a great opportunity to read those!

Nothing wrong with that. 😁

[Kendra]

Happy Monday everyone. I ended up having a family thing yesterday so I didn't get as much reading in as I was hoping. But today is another day. I just wish the weather had been better for the long weekend because I really would have loved to spend my time outside reading. but oh well.

[Alyana]

It happens Kendra. But I think we are all doing great, most of the prompts are done.

Go go go team! ☺️

[Alyana]

Finished my other book, The Kite Runner. Updated on ss.

[Nancy]

Since we've completed our first brigantine (woot woot!), I'm thinking we should remove the grey from those rows and start over.

I'm okay with that. What do you think everyone? :)

[Kathy]

That works for me.

[Jillian]

That sounds like a good idea on removing the gray. Hopefully, I will get a few books finished tomorrow or Wednesday.

[Emma R.]

Can I ask why my book was moved from the prompt about having gold on the cover to the prompt about "A book whose first letter of the title appears in DAVY JONES' LOCKER"? As far as I understand that prompt, it does not fit. The book is The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt by Kara Cooney

Hi Emma, I apologize, I misunderstood the prompt, I thought it was the author's initials appears in DAVY JONES' LOCKER. My bad! Thank you for clarifying.

[Kendra]

Or maybe we could just pick a different colour for a second round on each prompt.

[Kellie Lyn]

Finished Two for the Dough. I had never read any of the Stephanie Plum series but I am loving it but I have to move on.(I will be back though) I put it on the Galleons: Book featuring a thief (stolen military arms)

I am starting Cold Cold Heart and hope to finish tomorrow. I have listed it on the plans sheet.

[Kendra]

I changed all the colours in the spreadsheet so the prompts that have been done once are grey, twice purple and then I switched it so there's only 1 shade of yellow, 1 shade of green and 1 shade of red (It was bothering me).

Looks good!

[Deborah]

Hey all! Hope Monday went well for all of you. I just finished Martin the Warrior this evening. I put it under a book with a weapon on the cover. I also made significant progress on A Star Rising.

[Kendra]

Well I finished 1 book today: Lawbreaking Ladies: 50 Tales of Daring, Defiant, and Dangerous Women from History. It actually had a whole section on pirates. I used it for the short book for the schooner.

[Nancy]

Looks great, Kendra, thanks. Though that shade of yellow hurts my eyes a little! :)

[Joan]

I only got to read 32 pages yesterday. Things just keep popping up. I'm really hoping to finish Horns tonight.

You all are doing awesome!

You made me laugh! It was bothering me as well!! LOL

[Kathy]

We're doing great, Team!

I hope to finish listening to Seventeenth Summer later today. I've also started Pierre and Luce, which is exactly 100 pages.

Interesting that it is exactly 100 pages! I added it to my TBR. Looks interesting!

She is perfectly fine now. Thanks Lynn...

It was okay, didn't like it much. Or I just probably read it in the wrong time. sigh
