[Alaina]

Oo yay! Double check it hasn’t been posted already.

[Andrea Thomas]

I take that back, you're on it! Posted it for the MC being an orphan. Way to be on top of things Alaina!

Sorry, I looked and it said it wasn't posted so that's why I reposted. I wasn't sure because I knew I'd posted it on Chopped but it wasn't showing up for this one after I refreshed. Maybe I missed a page change, sorry about that.

ETA: oh you posted it. Sorry, seeing that now.

[Andrea Thomas]

I just finished another book, ill do the review and attempt to fit it in somewhere tomorrow. :)

[Kim]

Just finished a book. It doesn’t work for money the cover so I’ll throw it in the banked books.

[Alaina]

Okay finished a book for the money task! Starting using the banked books for "Drink More Water". Looks like we need the following,

Water on cover
Author initials in WATER
Blue Cover (75%)
MC's first/last name starts with W
Tagged 'Thirsty'

[Alaina]

Update for "Drink More Water". Looks like we need the following,

Author initials in WATER
Tagged 'Thirsty'

[Alaina]

I found a book that works for thirsty. Does anyone have a book that words for the other task?

[Kim]

my 2 banked and 2 CR don't work for WATER author

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I'm currently reading an anthology, one of the authors would fit (Abigail Wen), but I'm not sure if we can use that, since there are so many different authors. Does anyone know the rules in that case?

[Celia]

Double check with the mods but I think it works

[Alaina]

You can use that.

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Great! I'll finish my book later today and post it. :) Thanks guys.

[Alaina]

Sorry for being so slow with the thirsty book guys. I’ll definitely have it finished tomorrow. Then I can start posting for another round based on the banked books.

[Alaina]

Ugh round. Meant prompt.

[Kim]

Do we know which prompt we will be doing next? Just thinking of planning out my finished books, about to finish my current.

[Celia]

If we do drink less, we'd just need to find one for "character goes to AA meeting," "drink on cover," and "drink in title," so I would think that's the best option

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Let's go for it then :)

[Alaina]

Okay, drink more water is complete! Posted the books for drink less. So, we just need the following:

Character goes to an AA meeting
Drink on cover
Drink in title (Ex: Dandelion Wine)

[Celia]

I might be able to get drink on cover or in title after I finish my current book, unless anyone else can get to them sooner

[Alaina]

I got a book that works for AA meeting. Anyone have a book that works for drink in title?

[Vicki]

I have a book for drink in title. I should be able to finish it tonight or at the latest tomorrow. I'm on vacay in Oceanside and the beach weather is so perfect for reading and listening to the waves!!

[Celia]

I just finished my current book and will get to for drink on cover asap

[Andrea Thomas]

I just finished a book, but I will wait to post it until we start the next category.

[Celia]

Working on now for drink on cover

[Celia]

I posted mine for the last one. I'd suggest we go to either "give up smoking," "new year new me" or "travel" as our next ones as we have many of those already filled out

[Isabel]

I agree for "give up smoking"

[Kim]

let's do "give up smoking" i can post mine from banked today

[Celia]

After all the banked are posted, we need

MC smokes
MC gives up smoking
all letters of SMOKE in series title

[Caroline]

I got MC gives up smoking

[Andrea Thomas]

I just finished a book last night, but I can't make it fit. So I'll have to bank it, but I do have one that fits the SMOKE in the title, so I'll post that one now.

[Alaina]

I think it's letters S,M,O,K,E in a series title. Not the book title.

[Alaina]

Okay smoke is finished. Posted for travel. Looks like we need the following,

Features a tropical place
Takes place in Asia

[Aneta]

I posted review for book which takes place in Asia

[Alaina]

Thanks!

[Alaina]

I have a book that works for tropical place. I'm starting it now!

[Alaina]

Okay finished Travel! Started posting for Exercise. Here is what we have left,

MC visits a gym
‘Exercise’ in text (pg/%)
Letters E, X, E, R, C, I, S, E in series title (in any order)
Muscles/Abs on cover
MPG Sport

[Alaina]

I'm not sure if things on the banked tab work for these just yet but I'm about to sit down for dinner. I'll check after.

[Caroline]

I have one with exercise in text.

[Isabel]

I'm about to finish an audiobook for "mc visits the gym"

[Andrea Thomas]

I've got 2 banked books that I finished, but not sure if either fits the theme we're on.



and

[Vicki]

FYI I am back from a two week vacation but I got Covid-19. I'm doing fine and don't expect any problems but just wanted you all to know that I am back and will be able to contribute more.

Alaina, thanks for posting some books for me. I appreciate it.

I am reading a MPG Sports book that I will post today if nobody beats me to it.

[Kim]

so the last book for this prompt is "E,X,C,E,R,I,S,E" in series title

then we can move on to the next prompt, right?

[Alaina]

Yes. That’s right.

[Celia]

I just checked and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series has all the letters. I won't be able to get to book 5 any time soon with my other challenges and real life, but if anyone is interested the first book is short.

If not I can try to get to book 5 at some point, but no promises that it will be soon.

[Kim]

Banked my 2 books but didn’t put categories so I can be flexible with next prompt.

I couldn’t find Hitchikers readily available on my apps. I’m gonna see if it’s at the library.

[Andrea Thomas]

I just finished another that I will have to bank since the series doesn't have an X in the title.

[Kim]

do we have to finish the exercise prompt before we move onto the next? or are we able to come back to this one?

[Celia]

I think we have to finish this one first

[Celia]

The only other one I can find on my shelves is the Alex Mercer Thrillers series so I can try to get to one of those or Hitchhiker's Guide #5 soon but I won't have time for a while - depending on other challenges
