Whitney Biggs | 480 comments Finished The Villa completing the '70s. Added to tracking spreadsheet.

I have made good progress on my remaining books (The Razor’s Edge, Good Dirt, and Old Yeller) and should have them all finished tomorrow.

D.L. | 1515 comments I just finished The Shore Road Mystery for the 1920s prompt and entered it into the tracking sheet. I'll work on my other book now.

Also, I noticed there are 700 pages read in the non-prompt section that the spreadsheet is not adding to our group total. Not sure how to fix that, though.

Susan | 573 comments I finished Eye of the Needle... found some down time this morning! My plan is to start on a 2020 book next.


message 208: by Denise (new)

Denise | 436 comments @D. L. Yes I entered that 700 pages last night and noted above that we are not getting credit for it. Originally that book was supposed to go under 2010 so we may need the switch it so we can get the higher page points ?

Hopefully, one of our team captains can fix whatever is happening really soon so we get the points. You read so many pages, it should be added into the final count :)

Denise | 436 comments I added The House on Mango Street to the spreadsheet for the 1980's, I will finish soon and mark it complete

Theresa | 840 comments I have a little over 150 pages left of "Silver Sparrow."
I hope to find an audio book next, for additional points.

That's okay! You did a great job! Don't forget to put it on the spreadsheet under DNF with the number of pages you did finish. :)

(And the spreadsheet should be working so it counts those, now.)

Theresa | 840 comments Finished with "Silver Sparrow."
Not sure how far I'll get with the audio book that I started earlier. I'll add the info for that one tonight or tomorrow. morning. 3 hours left for me. Strawberry Lane


message 224: by D.L. (new)

D.L. | 1515 comments I finished a book for my last prompt (timepiece on cover). I ended up reading The Christmas Clock. It's shorter than the book I originally planned, but Murder Past Due was not moving quickly enough for me.

I think I'm done now. I had a great time, everyone!

You're welcome! I read a few books from my TBR but now I'm scrambling to finish my planned monthly challenge books. I have such high goals and only so many minutes in a day to read! lol.
