July 15th i think but dont quote me!

[green]

I've finished my #3.5 book, can someone let me know if it can be used for any of the window slots?

[Trisha]

it safely falls between either of the remaining 2 sets - and should be able to go in either.

[green]

@Trisha great thank you!

[green]

is anyone already reading book 6 for wall three? just trying to figure out if I should start a #6 book or not

[Melissa]

We definitely need the 3.5 book and a couple more. The tracking spreadsheet should be up to date.

If everyone wouldn’t mind making sure all their books are on their shelves by Thursday I would appreciate it!

[Melissa]

I’ll post everything tomorrow and finishing putting all the books on the main SS

We do need another one for the door and a couple more for the genres from checking real quick.

[Louise]

@melissa please add The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen to the BOM dropdown from the Back room

[Louise]

I’ve found a 2.5 book to read it’s only 135 pages though

[Leslie Ann]

I am heading out to the mountains for our anniversary. I won’t be back until late on the 15th. I won’t be able to read anymore books this month… : ( sorry about that..

[Nick]

Have fun in the mountains!!




I've added a book 2 to wrap up the second wall and my 6th book for wall three is releasing on Friday so I'll read it this weekend.

For the walls we just need one last .5 for the second wall's window.

[Melissa]

I'm moving stuff around on the spreadsheet guys LOL but I'm using everything I promise!

[Trinia]

Melis I give you full rein to move any of my books 😂

[Christina T]

I'm super behind on adding my books to the SS. I've marked them all read and added them to my Book Games shelf but I'm not sure I'll have time by tomorrow to add them. We have movers coming to my sister's house to help move the heavy stuff tomorrow. I'll pick up the moving truck when I get off in the morning.

I'll do my best though.

[Roe]

Same! I had no plan going into the mini so move me where ever you see fit!

[Melissa]

@Nick - I switched Something Spectacular with Sidelined only because it's finished LOL

I was able to move things around and we don't need a .5 book anymore :) But you can definitely read it if you want to!!

[Nick]

Okiedoke! I’m still going to finish Sidelined a its for a challenge in another group hahah

[Melissa]

Louise - I switched out your The Rest Falls Away with The Secret Lives with Country Gentlemen because it's already done :)

[Melissa]

@Trinia - please add Throne of Glass to your shelf. Thanks!

[Trinia]

1 more book

We have books that are already finished that will cover #1 and #2 in series for either Wall 1 or 3. Stacey, Dawn, or sam do any of you mind if I switch out your books? If you've already finished or are close to finishing no worries I'll keep as is.

[Melissa]

I'll be on vacation next week (I'm leaving Saturday) so I'll be offline most of the week. I'll check in to set our Battle books but I'll probably update the spreadsheet when I get back next Saturday.

If you guys wouldn't mind please make sure your books are on your shelves by Friday night. I'm EST in PA

If it's possible to finish by then that would be super helpful as the round ends at 5am my time LOL

[Melissa]

Enjoy Leslie!!

[Trisha]

Since we don't need anymore of the .5 series reads, I'll take the last nature one.

I'll start it tomorrow!

[Dawn]

no problem switching out to make it easier :)

[Louise]

For Door District 1 used Starling house for shelter if we can make it fit for a door

[maria helena]

I’ve updated the spreadsheet with my last book for round 2.

[Stacey]

I will have my #1 done tonight or tomorrow, but feel free to switch out if needed.

[Samantha]

You can swap the books out if you'd like! I've been feeling a bit slumpy lately. I will likely finish Powerless but I'm still waiting for my libby hold on Flamefall since it lapsed the first time!

[Roe]

Im almost done with a #2 and then I will finish my 10 billion pg Oprah pick for my last mini.

[Christina T]

Thanks Melis!

[Melissa]

Sunny - please add Ward D to your shelf :)

[Melissa]

Almost finished Round 2!

Reminders:

We have until July 15 to read and post 3 comments/observations about Catching Fire

We have until July 16 to read and answer DQs for The Wishing Game

[Melissa]

@Trinia - did you make posts for Catching Fire or your 3rd Day of DQs for The Familiar? If you did I can find them just let me know!

[Melissa]

Supply Drops

Does anyone have an idea as to where we should use our Supply Drops? Do we want to use all 3 again?

This is where we stand as far as points right now:

Weapons 1885
Shelter 1720
Food 1532
Defense 2163

I'm thinking we protect Weapons and Defense and Shelter since Food is the least amount and can hurt us the least if we lose points. But I would like to see what the rest of the team thinks!!!!

[Melissa]

Also we are currently in 4th place!! We'll see where we end up at the end of Round 2 but we are doing such an awesome job especially being down team members!

[Trinia]

Melis - I still have day 3
Of The Familiar and I commented once on the Catching Fire (how many do I need?)
I’ll finish up tomorrow after my work meeting 😉👍🏼

Hey Melissa! Can you clarify what you mean here? I thought we had until 7/15 to finish our books (Sunday) but you need us to have the spreadsheet updated by EOD today (Friday)?

[green]

@Melissa I'm currently reading Home and it's 176 pages. I can't find the word count but the audiobook is 4 hours long. Can I use this book?

[Trinia]

Added my Day 3 DQ's for The Familiar

need to comment 2 more times for Catching fire.

[Trinia]

Couldn't find where to post my Catching Fire comments. So I'll list them below:

[Melissa]

@sam - you are correct. You have until July 15th for the end of Round 2. I kept thinking it ended on Saturday ( I have no idea why! ) Countdown is : 2 Days : 7 Hours : 42 Minutes. I'm EST (in PA) so my round ends early Monday morning, July 15 at 5am.

@Sunny - yes you can use that book. It's only for book tagged Middle Grade that need the word count. Since that one is over 100 pages it works :)

@Trinia - Thanks!! You can put them on the BOM tab if you read Mockingjay. Thanks for posting them!
