Ehy everyone! Should we use the third skip for something for round 2, just not to lose it? ;)

Kade wrote: "I found a book for 7, 8, 9 if we choose to not skip it. Totally up to y’all though!"If you found a book, then we should use the skip for something else. :)
Andy wrote: "What about we skip book is number 8 in a series? Unless anyone is reading a very long series again?"I agree with this, I will not be reading any long series next month
throwing this one into banked reads for now - but if someone wants to help me and try to fit it in a prompt, i'd love that.
Ill also be trying to fit this book into something today, but so far i'm not seeing anywhere fo rit.

Yes, I think that's a good idea

Hey team, I have been gone on vacation to Canada, had a new grandson born, and other things RL going on. It'll take me some time to review my books I've read (meaning freshen my memory) and then write my reviews for them and post in the review thread, but I'll get caught up...eventually. I'm back and working on everything!

I have two books in the banked books if anyone can make them fit somewhere. I've tried but can't seem to make it work. I'll have a few more banked soon too..
Hi guys, sorry I've been MIA. I moved out of state last month and then had Comic Con so it's been insanely busy. But I should be back to my normal reading schedule. I posted my first book in awhile and I went off what was open on the spreadsheet. If I missed anything or did something incorrectly please let me know!

Ooh Comic Con!! How fun!
Ooh Comic Con!! How fun!
It was a lot of fun, but also very tiring after moving haha. I don't recommend doing those two within a week of each other.
@Kade one of your books from the banked tab fits for the category Title: Letters S, E, P, T, E, M, B, E, R in title (any order), I already changed it in the spreadsheet, but wasn't sure if I can post in the review thread for you :)
I claimed publishedin the year you were born since that alwyas seems to be the last to fill lol. Are we using any other skips this round?
i definitely can't do the middle name one since my middle name is Braylen, haha.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I put together a few book options for some of the prompts just in case i could fill some.. but maybe one of these options intrigues someone else?seasonal name-

I can't do the middle name one either, I don't have a middle name :D But I'll read a book with a title that rhymes from your list. :)

You rock! I'm glad you found a book that works for you.
so it looks like we have 7, 8, 9, sunglasses, and rhyming title filled.
i can probably do food in title.
oh actually, i cn do the orange cover to start.. and i claimed the published in the year you were born
OH also - Vicki had a great point in the review thread. It looks like some don't use the spreadsheet which has led to some repeat claims for prompts. I know I personally look at the spreadsheet to see what's claimed and finished, because it can get a little difficult judging that from the review thread. How can we compromise on it all? If someone isn't able to use the spreadsheet / doesn't want to, could we fill it in for them? if so, can we find a system where they maybe just post in here and tell us what they reviewed / filled and we fill it in the spreadsheet so we can be updated?
sorry if i'm stepping on any toes / overstepping.
Yeah that was a good point. Normally I go through the new comments and fill in the spreadsheet before commenting my books, but I didn’t have the time the other day which led to repeats😅

I love using the spreadsheets, especially when i'm not home or able to view the actual website to check on the review, [ the app sucks ]. lol. I usually check the spreadsheets for this challenge and the villain one before i start my next book to make sure it fits one of the challenges. lol. maybe the people who don't want to use the spreadsheets can just comment in here with something like "read X book for X prompt, reviewed t" and we can update the spreadsheet for them.

You're amazing! I can't do middle name either - it's Blaxter which isn't really a name usually lol.
And definitely, let's help each other in the spreadsheet - if people are on a phone or something, then it's really hard to do!
I got "July" letters in title and MC goes on vacation with some of my banked. I might be able to get sunglasses but I need to ask something in the Q/A

Oh man. Blaxter is super unique. Is it a family name?
So we have skips left right? Can we all decide on a skip or if we should skip any? Seems as though no one can or desires to fill the middle name one. Here are all the titles we have open. I know some said they can possibly do some so I’ll label those. If you can take any of the open ones, let me know or let me know which we should skip?
authors first name starts with Z - ( zadie smith is only author I can think of )
Flip flops on cover
Sunglasses on cover - possibly filled
7, 8, 9 - possibly filled
Book off Aly’s favorite reads
One name author - I can probably take if no one else does
Authors first name is same as your middle name -( this works best for someone with a common middle name - like Ann or nicole. Lol )
Book off 1st page or best boyfriends list
Book within first 25 on YA weapons list
Tagged sports on 1st page
Mc is a teacher
Character with seasonal name - I can grab this if no one else can
Book has a map
Set in tropical location
Yes, we have four skips per month. :)I'll read a book from Aly's favorite list and for author's first name starts with Z.
Who actually can do middle name? Mine is Jeanne and surprisingly I don't have much with that one. I thought someone had claimed that one on the spreadsheet but not sure who

Hi everyone! I also have no middle name, so that's off for me.I'm reading a book from the "best boyfriends list", but life just got a whole lot more complicated than normal, and it might take me a week to finish it...
I think we only have 3 skips per month, but we can use one for the middle name one, if needed.
Maybe we could start planning the last few books for this round, and everything that doesn't fit can be banked for the next?

Oh, yeah you're right. I got confused with another challenge I'm doing.
It looks like we skipped the middle name task in the first round as well, it looks like we'll have to skip it for round 2 as well.

I've tried searching for my middle name, and there's NOTHING. unfortunately. haha.
i'll do the one name author and probably seasonal name. i can grab the mc is a teacher if need be too.
i tried to find something on the weapons list, but i don't see anything i could even pretend to want to read, lol. if no one else can claim one, then ill choose one and make it work though.
I can take middle name. I'll need to reorganize my reading a little bit but there are some things I may be able to do. I'll try to look into a childhood series I wanted to reread and then I also asked in the Q&A if variations are allowed. But if I can read the series then that's at least four rounds where we have it covered.
I can use The Midnight Library for MC is a teacher, but do we want to save it for next round for features a lifeguard? I figure that one is a lot harder...

Hey team!!
So sorry for the late start in scores today! Had a new person on my team start today and was running around trying to get them set up. Just realized the time and figured I should probably get to it. So, starting scores now!
