District 7 Showing 551-600 of 1,981

[Melindam]

I just happened to be on the Amazon website (no... of course I wasn't browsing for new books... ME? NEVER! 🤣), so thought I might as well check. 😊

[Sophie, The other one]

Oh no, there wouldn't be any chance of new books being looked at...

[Sophie, The other one]

And you are adding them on the sheet before I can get to it!

Sorry, got carried away. Have stopped now....

[Sophie, The other one]

No apologies! Loving the enthusiasm to get all the tasks covered.

[Sophie, The other one]

I also managed to find an orange cover in the checking of everything

[Melindam]

Yaaay!

[Sophie, The other one]

For those of you who are lost after that rapid fire exchange, I've updated the post with what we are missing.

[Suzanne]

thanks Mel! I'll do that right now.

[Stephanie]

Teddie, Sophie, and I have been chatting among ourselves and the captains of District 8 about the supply drops. At this moment we will be trading 500+ books for defending piles. We will be trying to protect our weapons, defense, and shelter resources as we don't have all the info on how the supply drops will be implemented this is a guess on what we should do.

Let us know if you have questions.

[Catherine]

I over committed to ARC's this month. I am crying inside and have decided I need to be more picky as I have so many books I want to read. If only we had all the time in the world :)

[Melindam]

Thanks, Stephanie.

I guess we need to see this in practice as well as find out against what we are defending our books. Then I'm sure it will make sense. :)

[Melindam]

Do we have a countdown for the end of the Mini?

I need to finish off some of my current reads to see what more I can commit to... but I am sure I can squeeze in 1 more if needed.

The temptation of free books can get too much!

There are countdowns on the summary sheet and the end of the mini corresponds to the end of round 1 (so 9 UTC on 15th June).

[Melindam]

Thanks, Sophie.

[Melindam]

Talking about ARCs...

Is there a Librarian help thread in the Captain's Group?

Could we get the page number added to this book, please?



It is 192 pages according to Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Four-Points-Co...

And it could work for the CORNUPIA task.

Thank you. :)

Yes - the request to update to pages is in! :)

In addition to the countdowns on the Summary tab, there's also a round countdown at the top of our Round 1 page, with the Resource Ideas link underneath.

[Melindam]

Awesomw, thank you. :)

Hi Team, I'm still around. I'm still in the process of moving and not getting much reading done. Hopefully I'll manage some tonight, if I can stay awake long enough.

Hoping the move is going smoothly - always exhausting tho. Hope you're able to set up a nice little reading nook in the new place!

[Lauri]

I'm here, too! Still reading away. Trying to look for ways to help with the mini. I'm sooooo confused! Still struggling through Malevolent for BOM, but not really loving it....
I am loving Discount Armageddon though. And I believe Discount counts for word in a word for the mini, right? Now I just have to finish it!

[Cecily]

Hello everyone! I have claimed the last tasks that I can find audiobooks for. I believe we just need another with a horn on the cover and one set in Crete.
I will be reading a few that are not part of the mini as some of my loans are about to expire.

I hope everyone is having fun!

[Melindam]

I will be able to finish the backroom bom after 15 June, so claiming the last task - Crete setting.

Could I ask for another Librarian adjustment, please?

I have this kindle edition: The Honey Farm on the Hill with 367 pages, but the cover is missing. :(

Could we get a kind Librarian to add the lovely cover to this edition as well? It is the same as for all the other EN editions: .
Thank you. 😊

There is now a 5th book to release in 2025 (Sunrise on the Reaping) I never read the books but watched the firs 3 1/2. Not sure I care to continue on with the series in any format though. I am not sure where I was at but I completely missed to post apocalyptic phase of popular books.

[Melindam]

Cat, I just saw this book appear all over GR. :).

I don't want to call you a liar, but somehow I just don't believe you! lol

Suzanne: could you please look at which resources Throne of Grace and A Woman of No Importance could be used for?

Teddie: Can The Templar Legacy be a..."

Sure will. :)

[Vicki]

Sophie, I think I got them all marked now. I usually mark them after I've read them just in case I don't get to them. If I missed any, let me know.

I am curious why 2 of my books are in white (lines 225 & 226).

[Melindam]

Ahh, Vicki, who was I kidding? LOL

[Cecily]

I had to drop my Idaho book so that space is open right now

[Sophie, The other one]

Thanks Vicki! I'm not always the best at remembering to put them on myself so I completely understand missing some.

I have no idea why some things have gone a different colour. Sometimes spreadsheets are mysterious.

Cecily thanks for letting us know!

Did you get anything exciting?

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm half way there with The Tailor of Panama then will see what gaps are left.

For those of you who haven't been on a team with me before, I will read some pretty abysmal KU books for points on mini challenges.

I got the Crete book b/c it was a really good deal and Race of Scorpions. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

Good choice on Race of Scorpions! Shame the task is for Crete not Cyprus.

😄 We can't have everything.

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm picking up Carry Me Home for the last Idaho slot which means we have something for everything at the moment!

Please just say if you aren't going to finish what you have selected.

[Catherine]

I am currently reading my last two books for the Challenge and will be done in the next few days. Sadly they are Netgalley ARC's that I have to read in the App (My least favorite way to read them). My Cornucopia book would be way more better in Book form. It's about monsters :)

[Suzanne]

Yes! There are times audio form is better (or as good) but lots of times when the printed page works best.

[Sophie, The other one]

Quick one after my Sunday evening troll through the sheets updating things!

YAY! We're 1st on the leader board (take with a pinch of salt as not everyone will have updated in the last few days)!

[Melindam]

Fantastic Teamwork!! :)♡

Just finished my Cretan book, I found it an ordeal, but it's done. Doing the update now.

Will start my CORNUPIA book tomorrow. It's a short one, so I'll finish it in time before the Mini ends. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

I've started the one for Idaho so that won't be a problem either. With warning I can probably fit another in before the end of the round.

[Melindam]

Same for me. I can probably fit in another one if someone finds they are struggling with their books, but need to know by Wednesday.

[Melindam]

I'll also finish my farm book tomorrow.

[Cecily]

Just started my farm title, I should finish it by the end of the day :)

[Cecily]

I believe Maritza's books are in the wrong tab, they are under Round 2

[Sophie, The other one]

Thanks!

I've moved the finished one across and will keep an eye on the other - don't want to miss out on points!
