Team Two Goes By the Numbers

[Janice, Moderator]

It just occurred to me that I should update our list in message one, checking them off (✔️) as they are read - just so that you know what is available to read.

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm making my way through my books. I'm 2/3 through one and started another. I'll have to see what books I have coming up. I may be able to add one if it's not too long.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Janice - Can you move Fall of Marigolds to another spot? The number of pages need to end in 10, not just 0.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm really messing up. Sorry! I've moved it to Publication Day.

[Kristie, Moderator]

You're not! It was one mistake and easy to make. I'm grateful you took on the organization. I'd really have it mixed up right now!

[Marnie]

I’d like to add Keeper of Enchanted Rooms for publication year 2 ( 2022)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I finished Ward D. I'm going to read more of Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love tonight and will start Death on the Nile tomorrow.

I should have time to also read Play Dead. It fits the following tasks. The two in bold are still available, but I listed them all in case we need to move things around later. Can you please add this one for me?

Series 6
Title Words 2
Pub Year 7
Title Letters 8
Pub Day 1
Pub Month 5
Pages 8

I finished my second book, so will have time with another audiobook. Back to the gopher mode.

[Janice, Moderator]

Original pub year: 0 (Jan 1, 1980)

[Marnie]

Janice I screwed up

Would you please change Lone Wolf to original publication date 2016 ( from 2017.) Thank you…also I completed it so ✔️

[Marnie]

I will take Cat's People for letters in title 10.

[Grainne]

I have finished reading The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change your Life and Achieve Real Happiness. I am on my phone just now, and I will record it with the links tomorrow morning.
* I updated it with the link.

[Janice, Moderator]

That was an easy fix (copy/paste) Marnie.

I've updated the list including Grainne's read & those reported completed. :)

[Nistha]

Finished my first 2 reads today! On track to finish the remaining 2 :)

[Grainne]

I started reading A Song to Drown Rivers yesterday. I hope to finish it today and move onto the 3rd read.

[Marnie]

Grainne would you please link your completed books here

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Lots of great reading going on and we have 100% participation-Badges for everyone…
Team Two rocks!!!

[Kristie, Moderator]

I am about halfway done my second book. I might even finish it tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

[Janice, Moderator]

🤞

[Lynn]

Can you remove Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl from my to read please.

I tried, but I'm obviously not in the right head space to read it at the moment so going to DNF

[Grainne]

hmmm Marnie, that link isn't working on my browser. I don't know why, but when I click, it says there is an error. Could someone type it out without the link text because the link hides some of the words. That way, I can copy and paste it directly into the browser.

[Grainne]

Also, I just finished A Song to Drown Rivers, and I have started the 3rd book, The Namesake. I'll update it all in the morning.

She's just asking you to add your completed book in the reporting thread. I noticed that you have already done that so it's likely she posted before you had a chance to do that. Just go to our reporting thread and you'll be fine.

[Janice, Moderator]

Tracked to here.

[Marnie]

Yes our messages must have crossed. Reporting thread is all good. Sorry for any confusion ;)

[Marnie]

I’ll take The Racketeer for original publication month 10 ( October 23, 2012)


Also Cat's People was for letters in title 10 but you also have it on publication year 9 ( which it doesn’t qualify) it looks like your cursor moved when you went to add it.

[Janice, Moderator]

My cursor has a mind of it's own. I'm beginning to think I need a new mouse. (Sure, let's blame it on the mouse. 🐭)

[Janice, Moderator]

Goodreads is being finiscky again. I tried to post that I'd finished my third book and got an error message.

I'll take a look at what I can read next.

[Marnie]

It showed up on the recording thread. We are up to date at 16 books read!

[Janice, Moderator]

oof! This is ridiculous. Is anyone else having trouble posting or adding book links?

I may as well continue on in that series and read the next book The Dark Wind for Series #5

[Marnie]

I’m not having any trouble right now but when I do I find it so frustrating. Tech issues are my nemesis

[Kristie, Moderator]

I haven't had any trouble posting yet, but GR is running slow for me.

I finished my second book. :) Death on the Nile. I will probably start my next book Play Dead tomorrow so that I can make more progress on Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love tonight.

[Grainne]

Oh listen, technology doesn't work well around me. It often malfunctions so I have a few ways of trying to do and one is to finger type the 'link' letter for letter. I used to find it so frustrating now, it's just amusing how technology functions until it doesn't and we have to use our brains to work it out.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'll be starting my fourth book today. The Dark Wind

I'm struggling with The Devil's Novice. I'm only 36% in. It's not a long book at 290 pages, but it's slow going and Im not sure I'll finish it in time. I'll keep plugging away at it. I've already completed 3 books which is what I committed to. The book I'm starting today is 7 hours long, so there's no doubt I'll complete it, and that will be 4. Still, I want to finish the ebook in time.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Good luck, Janice. I've had that happen before. Sometimes a short book can take forever and you keep checking your page / percentage because you feel like you should be so much further along.

[Nistha]

I finished my 3rd book which was actually quite good as well and have my final book which I will finish tomorrow!

[Marnie]

I finished my last book. I’ll look tomorrow for my next one. Should have enough time to read one more.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Way to go, Marnie! I'm sure you'll be able to do it. We still have 2.5 days to go! :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'm about halfway through both my third and fourth books. I should be able to finish them both on time. Andy Carpenter books always go so quickly.

[Janice, Moderator]

I think I've got everything marked off. Please double check the list in msg 1 and let me know if I'm missing anything.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Mine looks good, Janice.

[Marnie]

Janice- my Cat's People is in the wrong spot. It should be Letters in title 10. Right now it’s in publication year 9.


Also I’ll read The Snowbirds for original publication month 2 ( February 4, 2025)

[Lynn]

I've finished all my planned books, so I'm going to move on to The Cinnamon Bun Book Store

#8 Pages (348 Paperback)
#8 Publication Month
#2 Series
#4 Title Words
#4 Publication Year

I believe out of those, the only slot left is #8 pages.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Marnie - What did you think of Cat's People?

[Marnie]

I absolutely loved it. I thought it would be a fluffy throw away book but it was better than that. The cat acted like a legit cat and the people he attracted formed a friendship group. It’s my best book of the Toppler.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh, that's wonderful. I received a widget for it and have been thinking about getting it. I think I will go for it.

I thought I fixed that. Weird.

Sounds like my kind of book.
