Message 232 updated to here!

[Keri]

I just added a column to our tracking spreadsheet to help Patti out with mini challenge info.
It is just a check box, and can be checked once a book has been added to the Mini challange spreadsheet. That way we know which books remain that have the option to work for the mini. I updated it based on the books on the mini tracking ss right now.

I deleted the checkbox from everything finished before March 15th, as those are not eligible.

[Keri]

I also started a new tracking sheet for April with a couple new additions:

--the mini SS check box column
--Author column next to book title (helps a lot in making sure to find the correct book I think)
--Drop down for reverse with all our names like 'Read by Keri' to make it quicker

I hid the spreadsheet for now and we can unhide it once it's time to start April's

Hello Keri, this is from the Rules:

*Books must be more than 100 pages in length and Children's books, Graphic Novels, Manga, Cook Books, Plays and Poetry books can not be used unless by word count they can be verified as more than 25,000 words using arbookfind.com or more than 3 hours of audio using a reputable website (e.g. audible, overdrive).

Thanks--I read Vinland Saga Omnibus, Vol. 1 but it doesn't come up on arbookfind.com. I never have much luck with that one. I wish there was a better source with a larger catalog but oh well!

Hi guys, so sorry I have been so absent, this month has been really crazy for me at work! I've been trying to read as much as I could, but haven't been able to check in here a lot.

Have updated SS:


A Thousand Boy Kisses works for 0 & 2


** I will check this weekend if the last three books I read can be used for the mini

[Snezana]

I've added 3 more books I finished, all 3 work for 9 and one for 0. Unfortunately no reverse.

Shoot for some reason I didn’t realize the author could be from there or I’d have read one of the Nnedi Okorafor books on my TBR! I didn’t read that part closely enough.
