The Google spreadsheet is showing as View Only for me as well - I saw comments that another team was experiencing this so thought I'd include what I also saw.
Something that I've done previously is share an update of how many of each prompt/category we've completed just to see in one place and figured I'd do it real quick since we are unable to reference the spreadsheet currently:01. masquerade - 2
01: main character pretends to be someone else → 2
02: with a dress on the cover → 2
03: translated → 2
04: an own-voices book → 2
05: has a redesigned cover → 2
02. decades dance
01: set in the 20th century (the 1900s) → 1
02: first book listed when you sort your TBR by date added, descending → 3
03: with a blue cover → 1
04: written by an author who has died →
05: a historical fiction book → 1
03. goth prom - 1
01: a paranormal romance → 2
02: set or published in the 1800s → 2
03: a banned book → 1
04: a book with a black cover → 1
05: written by a POC author → 3
04. enchanted forest
01: a fairytale retelling →
02: a book about royalty →
03: written by an author from a country you’ve never been to → 5
04: a book about magic → 1
05: a book with a tree on the cover →
05. luxe - 1
01: with a 4.5 or higher average GR rating → 3
02: a self-published book → 1
03: a science fiction book → 2
04: written by an LGBTQ+ author → 3
05: with gold in the title (the word or the color) → 1
06. carnival - 1
01: written by an author from Central or South America → 1
02: with a red cover → 2
03: about the performing arts → 2
04: a graphic novel → 2
05: a book in a series longer than 3 books → 1

Had a sick day today so got a good chunk of reading done!
Hope you're feeling better Brianna! I had a lazy day and read the whole day yesterday! I didn't sleep till 2am D: but I'm going away for a 3 week holiday starting tomorrow so I'm pretty sure my reading will start to slow down, trying to get as much in as I can before tomorrow.
