2024 WBW: Sinker, Sailor, Soaker Spy

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

I like this one as well! ⬆️

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

That was supposed to be pointing at Sinker, Sailor, Soaker Spy. I didn't realize I was going to a new page.

[Jenny]

I'm fine with that name as well.

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

So it looks like at least 5 of us - out of 7 - are good with Sinker, Sailor, Soaker Spy. Should I tell Donna that's what we're going with?

[Jenny]

Sure. That's a good majority.

[Sammy]

Yep, that works.

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Done! She also wants a name for captain. Any takers?

[Sammy]

Only if no-one else wants to do it. 😉

[Jenny]

All yours, baby!

[Jazzy]

Aye Aye Sammy!

O Captain, My Captain...

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Well, we aren't too far behind on what Donna just posted in the Arena. I have several books to get posted for myself and I need to check Jazzy's...but that may be tomorrow.

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Sammy, are you reporting in as our fearless leader??

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa), Bibliotherapist]

Currently very under the weather and am reading one book, but it’s really hard to focus. Truly hoping my three day weekend will provide time for recovery, as well as multiple book completions.

[Sammy]

Yeah, I can do it. May not be around for a couple of days in early July (foot surgery coming up), but I'm likely going to be around until end of August at least

[Sammy]

I take full responsibility for Jenny not reading as much the past few days :D

[Jenny]

Jenny was still listening to books at work and finishing a couple of hardcovers she had started!! Wow, writing about myself in the third person is weird. I just have to log some books. I haven't been that much of a book slacker even though I dived head first into The Boys.

Take that comment for what you will.

Just be glad the seasons are short, because they're just too addictive!

[Angie ☯]

Stopping in to say hi!

[Jenny]

Hello back!
I apologize in advance if I hit you in the head with something wet and colorful.

[Sammy]

Hey Angie!

No apologies here... I'm sure you'll be throwing them back my way with much greater accuracy 😆

[Sammy]

Sorry I'm a little behind updating. Migraine yesterday, which means I have yesterday's and today's work to get done today, so a little behind schedule and will be working through the evening. I'll get all of Jazzy's books transferred tomorrow 😉

I hope your migraine is better...they absolutely stink!!

[Sammy]

Considerably better than it was, thank you. I'm able to function, just not happily, lol!

Adding LaurLa to your team

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa), Bibliotherapist]

YAY! Welcome LaurLa!!

[Sammy]

Hey Laurla, welcome on board!

[LaurLa]

Thanks!! I'm still orienting myself but will start logging books shortly!

[LaurLa]

Well, as soon as I get access, I mean!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

You have access now... ; )

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

LaurLa,

You may add books that you read from June 15th on.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for letting me know.

[LaurLa]

Okay, I entered all my books since 6/15... let's see how I did. I chose targets just going down the list. Didn't want to pick favorites (or not favorites)!

I don't have many bonuses besides the tasks right now since I have just started joining challenges, but hopefully going forward I'll be able to log more.

Donna, I hope my Splash bonuses qualify and that I have done them correctly - there are a lot of couples showering/bathing together in romances!!

LOL!! I love that part about the romance couples showering/bathing together.

[Sammy]

Hey guys. I'm having surgery on my foot on Friday, and there's a chance I might not be home for a couple of days (technically I'd get sent home same day, but if it's too late in the day when the surgery actually happens they'll keep me in overnight, and because it's a weekend there's a chance I may be there until a doctor comes in on Monday to sign off on my going home.)

I'm hoping not, but in case...

Would one of you be willing to take over adding Jazzy's books to the SS over the weekend if I'm not around? I'd just do them when I get back, but she reads so much it'd take me an age to get caught up 😆

Please and thank you very muchly!

I can try to keep it updated

[Sammy]

Thank you!

I'll post here when I'm back and ready to go. Fingers crossed it'll be Friday evening! 😆

Hope all goes well with your surgery

[Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer]

Best of luck with your surgery, Sammy!


I'm off for a 4-day weekend, so I can pitch in if needed.


I also plan to use these 4 days to catch up on adding my own books to the SS. I'm WAAAYYYY behind!

[Sammy]

Thanks guys! 😁

[ilovebakedgoods (Teresa), Bibliotherapist]

Hope the surgery goes well, Sammy!!!

[Sammy]

Hey guys. I'm back home. everything went well apparently and am now stuck with my foot up, so won't be around as much until I can get back at my desk next week, as my laptop is a bit crappy. I'll try to keep updated as much as possible though.

Thanks for all the well-wishes. Fingers crossed the next 6 weeks pass quickly, lol.

Great news! Wishing you a speedy recovery

[Anastasia]

Not sure if my buddy read registered on the spreadsheet

I hope you get to do a lot of reading during your recovery! Glad it went well.

[LaurLa]

Glad you're back and surgery went well, Sammy!! Heal well and read often!! :-)

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I added Tori to your team.

Tori, you may add books to the spreadsheet that you read starting from July 1st. You'll need to ask for access to the spreadsheet. If you cannot access the spreadsheet (or have issues), there is a link in message one to enter books. There are volunteers on the team to enter books for those who can't access the spreadsheet. There are bonus options (also listed in the spreadsheet or at the link listed in message 1) so be sure to check those out.

[Sammy]

Hi Tori, welcome aboard!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Tori... the link to the arena is in message 1. That is where all the action is. I left you a message there. Welcome to the game!
