District 7 Showing 1,351-1,400 of 1,981

[Melindam]

Vicki, you may have simply opened the tab called Battles. All your books seem to be listed on Round 3. As they are listed as planned, they seem to be on the bottom.

[Teddie]

I'm seeing everything - could be someone had a filter turned on on column N? Your books are still there :)

[Vicki]

I’m definitely on the ROUND 3 Tab! My other computer had Windows 10 I believe and my new one has Windows 11 Home, so I’m not sure if that might have anything to do with it. But on the round three tab, it only shows my book on line 2 and then it goes through line 8. Then when I go to the battles tab, it shows everything from battle one and the books on battle two and my book A Thousand Times Before is the last one. Both of the tabs show it is View only. So I don’t know what the problem is, but I can’t see any other books for sure and I am definitely on the right tab. I have summary then round three, battles and then it goes on for rounds two and one which are locked, Shelter, supply drops, BOM, Member info, rules, cornucopia, and then testing. ANY IDEAS?

Unfortunately, I can't see them so I can't add to them. If it's not one thing, it's another! Ugh...frustrating! Weird when I go on my phone to my SS it all shows up just fine, but not on my computer. It must be some kind of glitch but I have no idea how to fix it!

[Suzanne]

That's weird - I'm not sure what's going on, but I see lots of books in the Round 3 tab. I wish I were more of a spreadsheet guru, but I bet there is a sync or something that would work

[Sophie, The other one]

Are you on the official sheet or the tracking sheet? Sometimes that catches people out.

[Melindam]

Vicki, you are logged in to your google account, I guess. Could it be that it just needs time to catch up? (no IT genius here, either) Maybe you just need to close and reopen the sheet?

[Vicki]

Suzanne, that was it!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! I had clicked on the first TEAM SPREADSHEET in msg. 1. You're a genius! I got a HUGE smile on my face when it opened correctly. Thanks, everyone, for trying to help me and being patient with me! :)

Yes were in Round 3 and I dont see it locked. Are you sure you went to the tracking link?

No problem! Happens more often than you'd think especially with a change of computer.

[Melissa]

Our final book will be LDS Conversion Stories: Why We Joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

[Melindam]

Someone up for a cozy, like The Riesling Retribution? :))

[Melindam]

There are some more: Riesling with my roommate & A Riesling to Die. :))

Thanks, Catherine, I got it after Suzanne suggested I was on the wrong tracking sheet. ;)

[Catherine]

I'll grab The Reisling Retribution I can get the audio on Libby
The Riesling Retribution

[Sophie, The other one]

Thanks Cat. If there's something someone would like to read with more of an overlap then we can do that too. They've only had 1 extra letter this round and we've had 2 already so if everyone reads all their books they will win the 5 points.

[Catherine]

Vicki I dont know how I missed that whole conversation but I am glad it was worked out.

Many kudos to district 9 for kicking our butts in that round

[Vicki]

Catherine, it’s hard to always keep up with everything on the threads.

Ooh nice, I am not as familiar to the points system! And yes we can leave that as backup, so I am cool if someone else wants to grab this Read.

[Melindam]

Oh, relieved that we got to the end of the battle books (at least in theory) and with D9 winning this round hopefully there will also be the end of the "we are the meanie team" narrative.

[Sophie, The other one]

Maritza or Ushashi is there anything you'd like to read? Stories as the first word should be doable.

We were the 'meanie team?' Wow, I missed that.

[Marty]

I finished Scars. It was another slog all the way through. I hope his other books are better or that this was just a very cumbersome translation.

Still awaiting go-time for my battle book.

[Suzanne]

Lol yeah - I was a little baffled by that too, and still am when I look at letters passed. But oh well, perspective is everything!

[Melindam]

On a happy note: I managed to squeeze in a relatively quick reread of a 800+pager to make up for the expected lapse next week.
It will be my last working week before the holidays and then w/e travelling (fingers crossed the worldwide IT issues are fully sorted out by then), some craziness is to be expected. I will concentrate on finishing the battle book and will see what else I may fit in.

[Melindam]

Suzanne, too true. (giggles)

Some of the letters last round weren't particularly friendly, but I don't think we've been deliberately mean so it's all good.

[Sophie, The other one]

I don't like thinking about the IT issues. It took out all of the medical records we work with so I still need to type up 15 sets of notes from Friday and then deal with the backlog of stuff we couldn't do which will hit us next week. Its also the first week of the school summer holiday so I don't have any child free time to get it done.

[Melindam]

Oh no, Sophie!! :S

[Vicki]

Sophie, that’s just awful! I can’t even fathom all the work it will take. Best of luck!

[Suzanne]

Oh no Sophie! That's got to be so difficult! You have tons to do even when everything is working!

[Catherine]

Sophie, goodluck!! I mean this shows us how much we rely on Microsoft and so companies that only use Microsoft is in Big trouble. I work for Delta Airlines and man was that a trip to see the errors across every terminal and not even being able to log in to computers. I feel like this could be a test to see who is affected. Hopefully Microsoft cleans up who they give access to their complete systems. I was actually in LAX on my way to SLC when this happened. My 5 am flight didnt leave until close to 9 am. Luckily flights did get moving even without the systems back online.

[Suzanne]

I finished Mockingjay, but the book rows seem hidden - kind of like what Vicki was describing earlier. Anyway, no rush - I'll try to remember to put the "read" indicator and date in tomorrow.

[Catherine]

Question... BOM this last one has so many breakup sections. I understand we only need to answer 3 days worth of Q's. Is there bonus for answering more/all the Q's?

[Melissa]

Hey District 7 Just wanted to pop in and say no one thought you guys were being mean!! It was mentioned that you were playing the game and giving us challenging letters (like you should!) and we were being nice in what we were giving back (not every time) and we should start playing the game and giving you challenging letter back more often.

It’s all fun and games and we’ve been enjoying our battle with you! 😊

[Vicki]

Awe, that's good to know! Thanks for dropping in, because I know we've not done certain books at times because we felt they were too difficult and we didn't want to be TOO difficult. :)

[Vicki]

OK, team, sorry the be the biggest (only?) PITA in this group but now I can't see any books above line 181, so I can't get to them. I know there's a way to do so, but I don't know what that way is. Help again, please. :)

I wanted to make sure my book read on July 13 (when my old computer was out) is on the SS: A Sorceress Comes to Call

[Suzanne]

I couldn't see the lines either this time. but I'm sure they'll magically appear sometime.

[Sophie, The other one]

The sheet had been filtered by battle books which was hiding everything. After that we had no books on the sheet in rows 7-170 somehow...

Think it should be be visible now. If not I'll look again in my morning.

Hey Teddie, because of my impatience, I now have two entries for Scars, The Saint of Wolves and Butchers, and The Man Who Made Vermeers. Can I delete those myself or would you prefer to do it?
