That is such a great series!

[Nick]

I'm almost done with my battle book. Been juggling the kindle at home and audible version and work. I ought to finish tomorrow at work if I don't tonight.

[Roe]

How is everyone else doing? Anyone need help finishing? I know some are covering more than one spot!

[Trisha]

So my big test is Friday.
I've completed my 2 books for this mini challenge round and am probably going to go quiet for the next 2 days (absent) as I do my final push to study and then my huge, 4 hour long (in person) test!

I'll be back once I'm done!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Good luck Trisha!

[Roe]

Good Luck!!!

[Stacey]

Good Luck Trisha!

I'll have my battle book done by tomorrow.

[Nick]

Good luck Trisha!!!

[Melissa]

Good luck Trisha!!

I’ll be done my battle book in time. We’ve got the Round 2 mini coming up soon! It’s going to be a good one :)

Once it’s been posted we can start planning.

[Dawn]

Good luck Trisha!

[Natasha]

Good luck Trisha! I’ve been on vacation and haven’t done too much reading. I did finish one book. I’ll be back home super late Thursday night and will update on Friday.

[maria helena]

Good luck Trisha!

[Louise]

Good luck Trisha

[Trinia]

Good luck Trisha! 🙏🏼

[Nick]

Battle book done.

It was...fine. It got realllllly boring in the middle but the first third and last third were entertaining enough.

[Melissa]

That’s not too bad Nick!

Yay Trisha you got picked for DQs for The Familiar

[Melissa]

I’ve finished my battle book. All that’s left is Louise’s The Atcho Conspiracy!

Great job everyone!

[Louise]

Finished my battle book. It was a drag to be honest.

The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by K.J. Charles

[Trisha]

yay! Thanks everyone! I'm done so I'm back to reading!

YAY!

[Melissa]

Sorry Louise - wish it was a better book for you! I felt similar to mine. It was okay but I was waiting for it to be over.

Yay Trisha! Glad you're done :)

@Nick - we are not able to use The Bad Beginning since it's under 25000 words. Unless I'm wrong then please let me know!!!

Our Battle books are complete! Great job team!

[Nick]

haha that’s all good. I wasn’t really going to put it on there but then wasn’t sure if it qualifies. We can just boop it off the list :D

I’ll take it off the shelf etc…

Hmm though readinglength.com says its over 40k words?

[Melissa]

Round 2 Mini has been announced!

You can find information about it here

Please read the information and ask any questions you may have. There is a tab on our Main SS and our Tracking SS so we can begin planning :)

The biggest thing will be the Series books. We will need to figure out what everyone is currently reading (if anything fits) and go from there.

I'm currently reading Heir of Fire which is #3 in a series so we can use that for one of the walls.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

My current read Mortal Sins is book 5 in a series

[Melissa]

Ok great! I can read the next book (book 4) in my series if we need it but I'll wait to see what the rest of the team is reading or wants to read first.

[Melissa]

Here is a link to the Challenge Spreadsheet. We will need to read 4 books to make our 'door' that other teams have used for their Shelter Resource. You can click on other teams SHEET link to see what options there are.

[Melissa]

There is still a couple days left if anyone wants to read/participate in DQs for Starling House! Everything needs to be completed by July 2.

[Christina T]

I'm planning on reading Sweetheart: Unlocked Mates Book 8 soon. I can hold off until the first. It's not super long but it looks like length isn't a big deal for the new mini.

[Trinia]

Melissa for our “door” books, does that mean we just read a book off of one of the other teams books that they used for a shelter task?

[Leslie Ann]

I am in California at an art retreat ,I thought I would have more time to read. Sorry, I am back sunday late. No more vacations planned. I will try and catch up……

[Melissa]

@Nick - I’ll double check!

@Christina - as long as it fits the requirements for the general challenge we can use it for the mini

@Trinia- Yep! Just have to read a book another team used for Shelter in either Round 1 or Round 2

@Leslie Ann- that sounds fun! Enjoy!

[Leslie Ann]

I found a book district 5 read that i could read
Double Whammy

[Melissa]

Great Leslie!

[Nick]

If we can’t use it it’s nbd. :)

I’m currently reading a romance that is the 6th in a series
A standalone fantasy
And a pulp horror. I’ll likely have to finish the horror before the start of the mini tho as its an arc that is publishing on the 2nd haha

I’m currently reading a #5 and a #7 so I could wait to finish those until after the mini starts.

[maria helena]

I just saw that we had several other #5 so I’ll finish that and wait with the other one.

[Roe]

im terrible about finishing series so i have everything from #1 to #17! Everyone out theirs on and I will fill in the blanks! 😊

[Stacey]

It seems like all I read are series books, so I can probably find one if we need a specific number.

I haven't finished The Wishing Game yet and District 5 read it for shelter, so I can slow walk my finish to Monday. :) (The SS won't let me link --it looks like that option is turned off in that section??)

[Dawn]

I'll take a look through the shelter options later but I can definitely take book number 2 in a series if that sequence works :)

[Trinia]

I can find a book to fit from the shelter list. Just running around this weekend and will take me a little bit. When do we have to have the book finished?

[Melissa]

Perfect that’s awesome everyone!

We do need 3 different series options - one for each wall. So we could use your #5 too MH but if you want to finish it that’s fine too. I’m sure we’ll figure another out.

So for our first series it seems as if we have a

#2- Dawn
#3-Melis
#4-Melis
#5-Diane
#6-Nick
#7-MH
#8-Christina

We can finish this one with a #1 or #9 if anyone has anything. Does anyone have a .5 that would fit for the window?

Then we need 2 more chains 🤗

I can do a 1.

[Melissa]

First series is set! We just need a window :)

[Natasha]

I can do 3.5 with Dawnshard.

[Natasha]

I added my books to the spreadsheet. Hoping to read more since I'm not on vacation anymore.

I can definitely help with the series for the walls. I read a lot of series books.

[Melissa]

Great, thanks Natasha!

We need to have 2 more series for 2 more walls they can be any numbers we just need to work together to make sure they’re consecutive.

[Leslie Ann]

I have a #1 in a series i can read for our next wall

[Diane ~Firefly~]

I can continue on and read #6 for the next wall
