District 9
Apologies all for being quiet the last couple of weeks. Currently recovering from a broken ankle. Although I’m able to work from home, it’s quite exhausting, thankfully I’ve got a few audiobooks to get me through. Going to get all my books updated tonight.@Melis finished my bomb book this afternoon.
Oh no!! I hope you’re feeling better!! Thank goodness for working from home but I’m sure it’s still tiring dealing with it all.
Perfect, thanks 😊
@Roe - we’re covered with the bomb book
if we need a #13 I can read The A.B.C. Murders. I've been meaning to get into some Poirot and haven't yet outside of watching a handful of movies (which spawned my desire to read some Christie). I'm positive I won't miss out on anything by reading this out of order.
Stacey was going to relisten to a book for #13. @Stacey would you rather Nick take #13 or are you okay with the relisten?
Oh I must've missed that haha. I'm good either way /shrug
Can’t hurt to have both read! I’m hoping our next spin we’ll have some banked books that can cover stuff.
I was just going to do it because we needed a #13. I'll look for something else. :)
Nick - I moved your D book because we had one finished and was able to spin for another word...Electric Forcefield is our next word. I'll see what we have that fits already banked
sounds good. I'm almost done with it so we can use it for the D here if needed haha
We were able to fill in some letters with our banked books. Here's what we need now:E, E, R, O, R, E, F, E, L
Spell outs can use the first letter of the title or series title (ignore or use THE, A or AN as you prefer), the first letter of the author, narrator* or translator* first or last names. For this version NO character names are permitted.
If anyone is planning on reading Funny Story the author's name is Emily so that would cover some E's :)
I'm going to finish that so I've got one E covered.

I finished Funny Story on 8/3/24. Have not got it on the SS yet.

Little more than 6 days left until the end!
I’m reading Dreadful right now and the author’s last name starts with R so I’ll aim to finish that asap.
I read Findlay Donovan is killing it —-august 1I put it in the F spot , but it can also be used for and e
I can move Roes book Slow Dance to cover the R. I’m almost positive there’s another book that will fit in that slot. I’ll look a little later.
How do the banked books work? Is it anything read after 8/1?
I'm in the middle of The Afterlife of Mal Caldera which fits for E (narrator first name)
I must have used it for something else. I'm in the spreadsheet now so I'll update what I can while my daughter naps.
Samantha wrote: "How do the banked books work? Is it anything read after 8/1?"Yes, anything finished after 1 Aug can be used for the Mini.
finished my orange cover book :) have downloaded audio of Funny Story for both BoM points and it sounds like a lot of fun !
Awesome Dawn! :)I'm enjoying it so far!
Once Nick's done #13 we'll have another District complete!
Trinia - I moved your L book to O because Christina had a book already read to cover an L and we still needed the OWe have an R left to be claimed!
Alrighty I matched everyone's shelves with the main SS and added any book that wasn't on there. No one needs to add any of those books onto the tracking SS.
We have a ton of banked books so hopefully our next spin will be covered by most if not all!
I have an R and am dropping all the boys in my household off at the airport so its a mom/wife free weekend!!!
My Agatha Christie is out for delivery rn by amazon. I’ll read the whole thing as soon as it arrives!
Yay! Thanks guys! @Roe - how wonderful for you!!!
Done! That was actually really fun haha

finished funny story. i do have 1 more set of questions to finish for BOM.
Wow that was fast!!!You're welcome :) I had time yesterday so figured I'd get something productive done.
I'll get us a new District!
We've got District 3:District 3 is general electronics
IPOD in title
white colour cover (50%+)
#3 in series
white text on cover
item related to district on the cover
author first & last initials in GENERAL ELECTRONICS
set in Korea (North or South) (50%+)
plot element that can be linked to the district
The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook is the third Dungeon Crawler Carl book and I just finished that. Unless it was used elsewhere already?
I was able to cover 4 of them. I'll do a better check tomorrow.Does anyone have a book that they read that would fit Plot element that can be linked to General Electronics?
Even if it's been slotted in our Spell it out that we haven't finished I can move it.

If Nick’s book has been used elsewhere, I think All That We Are hasn’t been used yet. It’s third in a series.
