I love it when I'm able to find a good book to read after too many lemon books.
Just as an FYI, I might move books around to finish the spell out. We have to finish one spell out before doing another Shamrock spell out. Also, don't worry if I'm holding the book for a letter. All books will be used. It's like doing a puzzle.

I have a bunch of 'A' books. We will be good.

I've update the spreadsheets to here. Both our planning and our official one. I am working on my 'H' book and we will be done with our first Spell Out of Shamrock. We have 70 points so far. When finished with my H book we will have 95 points. :) I will have it done by tonight.
Great job, Rachel! You are rocking the planning spreadsheet. I'm going to keep working on my next two books after I update a few more challenges.
Thank you Michelle. :)I had to layout the books to find what would fit best so we could get the most spell outs as possible.
I'm sorry i haven't posted anything yet. My schedule changed at work and I've been exhausted. IT's after midnight so I'm going to read. I'll pop in tomorrow when i have a better idea of what i'm going to have finished. I haven't been able to do any pre-reading. :0(
Don't worry Mollie, you are apart of an awesome team. We didn't officially start until 5 hours ago and as long as you read 1 book a week you are great.Also, everyone has checked in!
Yay! 100% attendance. :D
Go Ruby!
Hi Mollie. Welcome! You aren't behind. We are in great shape so far, so don't sweat it and enjoy your book.Looking forward to reading with you!
Great job everyone!We had everyone check in. We finished our first spell out of Shamrock and only have three more letters for our second spell out of Shamrock. Michelle read our green cover book. And we have so far earned 185 points in just 6 hours!
Woohoo!
Rest up, have a good day and if you have a little bit of time, catch up on a good book.
Great first day!
Awesome start everyone. I have another book finished but I have to run and just don't have time to post all the characters right now so I'll add it tonight with at least one other book finished too. Have a great Sunday.
I have another I am finishing this morning. Give me an hour to finish and review and I'll post. It has an O character.

H Char - Hugh Murray
A Char - Anita Margulies
M Char - Hugh Murray
R Char - Wes Roberts
O Char - Ozeal Mallory
C series title - Call of the Wylde
K Char - Kai Duncan
This cozy series is fun as the main character is an animal behaviorist who can communicate with animals and they usually end up helping her find the killer.
Plus it counts as my book about horses, to help me in my quest to gain a horse in the role playing game.
I am pretty confident that I will not complete Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens this week. I am listening to it as an audiobook for when I am driving. It is a very long book...I expect it will be at least another week before I get it complete.
Great Allison Ann and Michelle! :)Diane, that is awesome. I haven't read any books for the task of the horse. I just have 4 more points in the RPG challenge then I'm a level 6. I should put in some of these books I've read to see if it gets me there, then it's time to get some Monsters!
Cheryl, that's okay. I will switch out books in our planning spreadsheet to make it all work out. That is a large book and it takes time.
Right now I'm working on a H book for our second spell out of Shamrock. I'm loving the book. It's a Sci-fi book,
. I hope I will finish it today. Great job everyone! We are kicking this challenge's butt!
I have completed a second book that I had not listed before. I am beginning I Robot by Isaac Asimov.Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans-334 pages

Juliana, nothing like a good game. ;)This will be fun. Up against two of my good friends. Not fair you know my reading patterns too. :P
:)
Woohoo, Michelle and Allison Ann! Keep them rolling in.
Doing great team! I'm not sure what to read next. I'm not in the mood for my "K" book, so I think I will start something new. Decisions, decisions.
Up Next Would be an 'M' or 'R' Book. Then we will be done with our third Shamrock spell out. We are doing wonderful.
Updated to here. Spreadsheets & Bookshelves.Points are at 285 and we just need a 'M' and 'R' book to fill out our 3rd Shamrock spell out.
Happy Reading!

So I see.
*grumbles* *grumbles*
LOL, Allison Ann. It was that chest of gold I won in TT. :PAwesome in finishing the book. I added it and we are finished with our 3rd Shamrock Spell out.
I will be at work until 10pmish tonight. I will update the spreadsheet then. I will be on my mobile app, which doesn't allow me to get on the spreadsheets. I'll still check here.
Have a great Monday everyone.

Some major planning and self-discipline is all. :P
You finished the 3rd spelling? *looks at spreadsheets*
We're in the middle of the 3rd... Ruby's stop reading!!!

Yeah, we had the planning.. but RL got in the way :(
Rachel, let me know if you need me to update the planning spreadsheet. Sometimes 2 hands complicate things, especially if you know where you are going with it in your head!Otherwise I will just take this opportunity to keep reading. I should have 1 or 2 more done today.
