Go ahead and add to the spreadsheet please!
Also, for our 3rd spell out we need an I and N to move on to the next!
Navi - I may have messed something up on the spreadsheet when I was moving things around. Can you re-input how The Town the World Forgot works for the mini?Thank you!

Apologies Tara,
My two were Only bad options and Close your eyes.
Still reading sight unseen.
There are a few feeding minis that haven't been added to the tracker despite the books being added for spellouts. The rules in the regulations/announcements clearly state the plurals of the foods are allowed. I'm referring specifically to onions and spices ones.
I also added a few books under the minis that had the bonus words, so they'll need to be added to the spreadsheet as well.

I have put them in now.
As for spices and onions: when I transferred The Forgotten One over, there was nothing listed for a mini so I looked on goodreads and saw it was #2 in series and placed it there. I have since removed it and put it in feeding as that is where it now is on our tracking sheet. Lori has a book placed for onions, so I am not sure about that one!
To complete our most recent spell out we need an I and N!
Hoping to get a book finished soon, off to a slow start this month.
Are we still looking for N's? I have a #5 in series (gardening) N No Bones About It but it's only just published and short, so not much point wise. Or I can leave it for in case we need it last minute?

Leave it for last minute! A trend in this round is needing I and N.
Y'all. We got our next word. And it is a doozy. F I X I N G A P P L I A N C E
An X and 3 Is. ugh.
And as I will be out of town when this Round ends, can you please update the following shelves:Triathlete_Reads: A Psalm for the Wild-Built
Michelle: The Lost Story
Thank you!
We are also pretty close to being able to start another gardening round. We just need 2 series #5 and 2 more colors (I will finish my 2 for that v soon!)
I just finished an I book and added it to the spreadsheet. Also for next round I have an X book. I've started it multiple times but it's so boring. It's less than 300 pages, so I'll force myself to start over and finish it this time.
Awesome! We need an O and N to finish another spell out and I think we could potentially eke out one more spell out before we're the round is over in 2 days!
Ill be adding 2 books on the spreadsheet today as soon as I have a few minutes
I added my books and added A Psalm for the Wild-Built to my shelf sorry, it's been a busy 10 days. Icarus, one of the books I read could probably work for a couple minis in the 3 categories, is there somewhere you would want me to put where it could fit? (The tasks they could fit in are all already filled up rn)

Hi all, just a quick update on Round 2 which ends in just under 20 hours. All we need for a final spell out is M, O, W and 2 N's. If you don't have a book that works for those letters, don't finish til round 2. Also if you have input books and didn't see if they work for the mini, can you please look into that before the sheet is locked tomorrow (I've highlighted them pink!) And I will be camping tomorrow so I will be MIA until Monday!
I’ve reached my cap for this round.
I have finished my last book an N
Finished
and added it to the tracking spreadsheet.
We've completed 9 spell outs for Mowing Lawn!We've got 5 hours and 45 minutes until round 2 ends and round 3 starts
"MC works in finance. " The mc has an MBA and handles all the investments for his clan, but is also the clan leader so has many other duties as well.
The book only works for L. Lachlan: Vampires in Europe 270p published 2019
I don't think I added my planned readings on the SS for this round yet (I'll check either tomorrow or on Thursday) so I just wanted to let yall know I will have 1 X completed very soon in case this info could help with your planning.
Just need an I and F to finish our first spell out!
Gwen - can either of your books - The House on the Cliff or Notorious Pleasures be used for anything else? I already added Navi's book as a #2 in series and failed to put it on the tracking spread sheet.Thanks!
Finished a few books and added them to the spreadsheet.
Thanks Megan!I have highlighted the books in pink that do not have an association with a mini. If you can check it any of these fit a mini challenge, that would be awesome.
Otherwise, we have 1 week to finish up this round. We are definitely on track to finish another gardening round before then. We're also close to getting admin and feeding done, we just need a few tasks filled and we can start a second round! Keep in mind we don't have to finish the second round in order to get points and a lot of the tasks we've filled are easy to fill again in the next 3 weeks!

Mine does not fit any of the open mini's.

We don't need to finish all the tasks of a mini in order to start a new round of mini? The 2nd round of gardening is not complete but there's already a 3rd round started. I thought we couldn't "stack" our read books for future rounds of minis. Sorry I'm confused.
Those are there if we can finish up the second gardening mini BEFORE the end of this round. Hopefully we can - if not, those books will be locked and we will not be able to use them. Does that make sense? If you look at our team sheet (not tracking) we are still only on our 2nd gardening mini!
Yes thank you for the precision!
To finish gardening mini: green cover, #4 and 5 in series, # 3-5 in series.
To finish another spell out:
F, 3 I's and E
Currently reading Now or never by Janet evanovich will finish before the end of the week
Our new word for round for is… Power Wash Patio Furniture!!I went through a period of watching power washing videos. The transformation of peoples’ driveways got me like 🤩

Mods perhaps you might change me to loriidae on the spreadsheet, so the single i Lori isn’t confused with the double i lorii."
Definitely could get a bit confusing. Lol
