lol. Same! I'll have to use my book search and skim them to remember some of the more detailed info. :P

okay I got lucky and little white lies ebook was available and it does have champagne in the text so we can use it for that!

Vicki can we move Afraid to another spot? Does it work for anything else?

oh wait. little white lies could also count for accent? there was southern accents in that. idk if that's taken or not, but one I'm reading now has champagne in the text so we could swap if we need too?

Okay I did some moving to fit Erin's book.

Vicki you book Afraid is now in RED COVER

I moved Till Death to Sour

and Erin you book is now in Champagne

Accent is still free for now. We'll see what the others have put in. :)

okay! haha. whatever works to get as many in as possible

Okay guys I think we might as well post. We only have like 4 categories left so we should definitely be able to post for both round 1 and 2.

Yes, we still have 50 books sitting on the banked books page, and only two of them are missing reviews, so let's try to fit as many of those in as possible before adding books we haven't started or finished yet.

I agree.

Oh, and remember, we can't post for Round 2 until we finish Round 1. I see at least one instance where a certain category is marked as posted twice, when it should only show one being posted until we get the first 25 tasks done, then we can post the remaining 25 tasks.

KK. That's why I like to add the POSTED column. That way there is an easier way to see if something has been posted when we are doing a mass posting. ^_^

These are the only tasks not claimed as of now:

AUTUMN in the title
Sour' in text
MC is into fashion
Mistletoe' in text
Read any book of your choice
Author's initials are in WINE
MC's first/last name starts with O

Let's see if we can fill them up with some of our higher point banked books

how much does the mc have to be into fashion? theres two books where people cared about their clothes/appearance but like theyre not focused on it?

Jenny some of those are filled from the banked tab. I just didn't do the checks yet as I might have needed to move them.

also for book of choice i have a 9 point book (botm) & like 4 6 point books if were turning in higher point ones

Great! I think we should go with higher points whenever possible.

Book, I trust you - I'm sure the open tasks will be filled in the blink of an eye...

I think it would have to be a major plot point.

^_^. Working on my reviews now and then I'll post for the banked books if someone else doesn't beat me to it. I mostly added for Crystal and Erin as they aren't able to post right now.

Also one of Sierra's book is marked as only Currently Reading. Can someone check if she posted that and if not move it to the banked under CR. We might need that spot for a finished book. :)

It's not posted yet - I'm moving it to our banked books sheet and marking it as CR.

@Daphne, I noticed you are CR . There's a BR if you want to double your points...

Thanks. Got to use those banked books! lol. :P

2 down. So many to go. lol. Why do I do this to myself? 🤦‍♀️😂 Great motivation though.

Okay, I'm running out of steam so I'm going to do one last one as we need it to move on to round 2. All my other unreviewed ones are for round 2. I'll still try to get them done today. Maybe after I walk Ruby.

I was able to cover the Old Fashioned with an Agatha Christie I read/reviewed.

I just realized my book for HIGH doesn't have the second H. Oops. Will be either moving my books around or taking that out of the SS.

I took it out. Sorry guys. I think it's a relatively easy category at least.

Okay so except for HIGH FASHION we are ready to move on to round 2.

i have on that fits for HIGH

OjoAusana wrote: "i have on that fits for HIGH"

Awesome! As soon as you post that I'm 98% sure we are ready for round 2. :)

yea i think as long as all the ones that say they're turn in are were done with round one :)

OjoAusana wrote: "yea i think as long as all the ones that say they're turn in are were done with round one :)"

Awesome! Should we wait for confirmation or just post?

im not sure, i guess it doesnt really matter until we fill the last spots, i have a book that might have mistletoe in the text but it was an aduiobook tho

Are we now done with round one to post for round two? I filled in one of my banked ones for MC with a name starting with O since I didn’t see any of mine used yet but it’s a round two one based on the other being marked posted.

Are we on round two now? I think we can easily get anew board, we just have to be more cautious with what we read for it because that one will probably be our last one.

I think maybe we should wait since we don't seem sure. or at least go through and double check

yea i think we have all books for round 1 turned in just waiting for them to be counted

i just found a book for autumn i can finish today but its only like 128pgs so it wont be for points just to move us onto the next board

I’d go with it, I think the sooner we move on to the next round the better since we’ll have to pick books more carefully to finish

what Keri said. and since we get points for finishing a board that's good

okay ill put it on the ss and start it, ill have it turned in by the end of the day

Okay I just double checked and a check mark is there for one out of each set of two saying posted.

I’ll go ahead and finish my BR comments and post mine for round 2 of this board but I’ll also state ‘round two’ in case that helps Alaina out or if I’m wrong she can let me know lol

Sounds like a good plan everyone!

@Keri, I only see two finished books of yours on the banked tab, and neither one of them has a link to a review. That's why I didn't try to find a place for them...but it looks like you have put them both on the Drinks tab now so I think your books are covered. Were there other books we are missing?

I got one for "tequila"

I had a few that I was going to put, but when I went back to put them they were then taken. LOL I think the hardest one is an MC that starts with letter O, unless someone already got it.

I had to just now finish adding my TT books. Since I've been sick with a cold I haven't done much on the puter to update things, so the books I added just now (I think 4 more) need reviews. I'll post them to the banked books.

Are we done after tab 5 because we did tab 4 already?

Oh gotcha, I only put books on once they’re finished and I try to do my reviews right after so I do them lol. But I didn’t even know putting a link to the review was an option. I don’t know how to do it but no worries lol. I looked at what was open and put things in. I only meant I fit them in since they didn’t appear to be there already, not that I was upset mine hadn’t been placed :-)

I can always write in finished and reviewed instead of just finished if that helps :-)

Vicki I got the MC starts with O one! I was excited I had something to work for that because it seems kinda hard normally I agree!

Keri if you want to add a review you can click the link that looks like a paperclip. A box will pop up. The first line is for what you want it to say, like 'review'. the second is where you will put the link. :)

Just reading some of the comments should we use a different longer book that doesn’t fit anywhere for the ‘a book of your choice’ where I fit my ‘The Bone House’, to get more points?

Mines only 352 pages and there are some longer ones still banked I think...like Trisha’s The Chestnut Man at 516pgs, or Crystal’s Golden Dynasty at 530pgs...

Thoughts?

Well we could look ahead to the next board and see what might fit there. We only have one left(?)

Comment from Alaina: The book 'If Ever by Angie Stanton' was already used for your Holiday board. This will not be counted again.
