Team Valmont's Between the Sheets

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Yes, has definitely been a lot of fun! :)

[Jennifer]

I have definitely read more than usual and Ive enjoyed most of the books Ive read. I might even look for another challenge in the fall. This has been a great experience.

[Samantha]

Going to try and fit in a few more reads this month but it's been difficult this month!

I claimed a 6 and found a spot in the mini for a book I'm currently reading that was not on there that I will finish up within next few days

[Michelle]

Awesome, thanks Erin!

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

We will see what else I can fill, not sure! Hopefully a few more. It seems when you look at first glance so much is covered but it adds up on those empty spots!

[Jennifer]

I finished my book today and realized it could be used as a reverse and mini so I moved it there. I will start another today and finish it before the end of the month as well as the other two I am almost done with. That will be 10 for me and really about my max so there is a small possibility I can fit in another but I don't want to commit.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Finished Over the Edge for my reserved Red Book and also put in Mini for a True Crime book.

[Michelle]

I'm trying to bomb through a few short ones to fill empty holes today.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Thank you, Michelle! Life has been kicking my butt unfortunately so reading has unfortunately slowed down a bit. Bad timing, of course.

[Jennifer]

Yes, thank you Michelle.
Sorry about life @Erin. I’m definitely in the same boat. It can be hard to focus on reading at times. 😞

[nadine]

just finished off my last book, Shanghailanders - think that's me done for this month (and this challenge), it's been fun!

[Samantha]

Great playing with everyone! I just got back from a trip so unfortunately wasn't able to do any more reading.

[Kadi]

Hey guys! It's the last day of the challenge I think. Somehow I did not realise I've got 4 unfinished books on the spreadsheet! I don't think I'm going to finish them all. I can definitely finish 1 of them. I might try looking for shorter books but even that is a stretch.

Not long now and we do still have a few blanks on the spreadsheet if anyone wants to take a look and have a last minute go at them!

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I finished my last reserved last night in time. Don't think I will be able to finish any more today due to work. If fit any more in this evening will add. I did have one extra that did not fit anywhere open on the overflow from a few days ago.

Had fun playing with everyone!

[Jennifer]

I finished my two books and updated the spreadsheet. I won't get through another book today. Thanks everyone. Its been a great first group challenge.

[MiMi]

I also finished my last books. And had fun playing as always.

[Michelle]

Kadi, which spots are open? Can you let me know which book you are finishing? Four hours to the deadline and I need to pick really short ones to knock it out in time.

[Michelle]

Erin, I'm finding spots for your overflow books. Thank you! As soon as we know what spots are open from Kadi I think I can knock out a couple of shorties to finish the hands.

[Michelle]

Erin, your standalone overflow can replace Kadi's "Ask Me". The tricky one is the reverse so Kadi I hope you can finish Mr. Henshaw. I can do the others.

I am finishing a #1 in series and I can do another #1 right now to take that Wild spot. Fingers crossed you can finish your reverse in time!

[Michelle]

Ok, Erin, so happy you have read Sweet Valley High. I'm busting out my old copy of Double Love to serve as a #1 or reverse for us so we should be covered no matter what.

We weren't able to finish off the mini but our hands should be good in a couple of hours.

[Kadi]

Michelle Dear Me Henshaw is the one I can finish! The other 3: Skeleton Creek, Ask Me, and The Girl Who was supposed to die (or whatever it is called) are the ones I’m not going to be able to get done

[Michelle]

No worries - I was able to replace Skeleton Creek on the mini with a different book and I am almost done with my second book tonight.

I think we are good! Moving things around to fill as many holes as possible.

[Jennifer]

You ladies are amazing! Thanks for the last minute crunch!

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I added two books last night on overflow also

[Kadi]

I can’t see anything on the overflow Erin! Have they been assigned to cards already?

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Yep, looks like they've been moved

Did not think I was going to finish more books yesterday but was happy two more were done to help out

[Michelle]

Yes, I’m on a couple of work calls this morning but will work on verifying the last books and moving things to the official team sheets.

Thanks for sharing all of your great reads with us over the past three months. This is always one of my favorite challenges and I love getting new recommendations from my team.
