Melissa | 3779 comments Ok now that I’ve finished The Familiar I’ll be online updating the spreadsheet today/tonight. Whew that was a close one LOL

Looks like we have all of District 7 claimed. Once all of those books are read we’ll spin the wheel and get a new district to read for

Leslie Ann | 941 comments Finished my 2 books for the mini


message 1053: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments Alright we are all caught up on the Master Spreadsheet. Any book that is on the Main SS but not used for a Mini yet will still be showing on the tracking.

We need:

O, G, U, Y, P, T for our spell it out

Melissa | 3779 comments We've almost completed our first wheel! Once Roe is done her book we'll be able to spin for another District to read for. Hopefully, some of our banked books will work for some of the tasks. We're getting there with our spell-it-out. We need a G and a Y

I kinda liked the Wishing Game more,I stayed up all night reading. Maybe because I cried more :)

District 13 was in charge of nuclear weaponry
BOMB in title
orange colour cover (50%+)
#13 in series
orange text on cover
item related to district on the cover
author first & last initials in NUCLEAR WEAPONRY
set in United States (50%+)
plot element that can be linked to the district

Melissa | 3779 comments @Catherine I cried so hard while reading The Wishing Game lol


message 1071: by Nick (new)

Nick Vallina (MisterGhostReads) (mister_ghost) | 110 comments The Wishing Game was VERY good but, for those who have read this one too, I think you can see why I might like it a smol bit more hehehe

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments Natasha and Leslie Ann -- I'm so sorry! I'm dreading that day with mine.


message 1086: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments If we don't get another option before I finish -- The Right Move that I'm currently listening to has a narrator with the last name Young for the Y. I'll probably finish Friday sometime.


message 1087: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments Thanks Stacey! I have one but I doubt I'll get to it by Friday.

Melissa | 3779 comments Christina - I've been added your books to the Main SS as I see you adding them onto your Book Games shelf. Don't worry about putting them onto the Tracking SS.

Thank you Melissa... I've been waiting until I can get to my computer but I haven't had the time to unpack it. Technically I'm still packing things and moving small car loads at a time so unpacking isn't even close to happening for things that I'm deeming "unnecessary". So I am so so sooo grateful that you're doing that for me.

On a side note audiobooks have been an amazing way to keep me sane while moving 2 households.


message 1090: by Christina T (new)

Christina T (crysteena73) | 182 comments Natasha and Leslie Ann, so sorry to hear you've had to make that hard decision. I had to last September. It's a hard heart-wrenching decision. My thoughts are with you both.


message 1091: by Natasha (new)

Natasha | 1140 comments I'm so sorry to hear that Leslie Ann and Christina. It's so hard. :( I know the grief will get easier with time, but it's so fresh right now.

I wish dogs could live forever.


message 1092: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 507 comments I finished Once Upon a Broken Heart and the SS has been updated.


message 1093: by Melissa (last edited Aug 07, 2024 11:05AM) (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments You’re welcome Christina. I know how busy you’ve been!

It’s never easy losing a pet as they are a part of the family.

Thanks Sam!

So for our District Wheel we still need:

BOMB in title
Orange cover
#13 in series ( I will take one for the team and read another cozy if I have to but it will take me some time to get to it)

I’m trying to finish The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes for plot element but it’s slow. I’m about 60% thru so if someone has something before me please take that spot.


message 1094: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 375 comments is the title meant to contain the word BOMB or the letters ?


message 1095: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments @Dawn - The word BOMB


message 1096: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 375 comments Melissa wrote: "@Dawn - The word BOMB"

ah damn lol!

I can take orange cover instead with The Wind Singer (Wind on Fire trilogy, #1) by William Nicholson


message 1097: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 375 comments Reading Scythe at the moment and the overwhelming theme is controlling death - is that a plot element that can be linked to District 13? So many weapons descriptions! Might be a bit of a stretch?


message 1098: by Roe (new)

Roe (roelynn) | 278 comments i can do Bombs and Guacamole


message 1099: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments I can do a relisten to Seduction in Death for #13 in series.


message 1100: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3779 comments Thanks everyone!

I think that would work Dawn. We’ll see if you or I get finished first for that one. I have about 20% left in my book to read.
