Cerea..."

I don't think my one book will fit any of those. :/

I’ll post my 3 now!

Thanks Crystal! :)

I have to walk my puppy in a few min. Then I think I'll shower and then I'll try to write a few more reviews. I want to get them all done today! 💪

MC into fashion might work for my book Golden Dynasty, the heroine may get sent to another dimension but she loves her clothes and makes sure her girls are outfitted nicely and fashionable too lol....

Sounds like it works to me.

Jenny, I already posted cereal in text. Is it not showing for some reason?

Ok I’ll add it. Looking at some of my short reads for mistletoe and not having much luck even with those lol

Yeah, I just double checked and it's in the review thread, but someone must have inadvertently deleted it on the SS so I added it back. CEREAL is covered.

Vicki I think that was the book that Alaina said you had already posted for Holidays. There is a comment about it in the review thread.

Finally found mistletoe in a book, I’ll be reading this later/tomorrow, it’s a short but if it’ll get us to our next board do we care lol?!?! I’ll mark it for now unless someone come see up with something else worth more points!

Book you’re right ‘If Ever’ is the one Alaina said was used for our holiday board, so CEREAL is still up for grabs...

So do we want to stick with mine for freebie or use one of the longer page count ones? No one ever replied but I can post mine if we’re sticking with it...

I'll be done with author's initials in WINE tonight - sorry I've been really sick the last couple of days.

I think if you can both post ASAP that’s all that matters 😁😁😁

Ok posting now

Eek! I promise I'll finish today - sorry - I've been sick this week and am just catching up with RL and goodreads stuff.

I do have one that could fit wine if we want to use it. but I don't want to step on your toes Jenny!!!

Go ahead! If you're done that's cool.

Sorry for the late score update guys!

CONGRATS! You all have finished your board! Your new one is MOVIES! You also got 25 bonus points from your spin!!!

Book, do you want to take a first stab at filling in the sheet using our banked books? Work from the top as those are the most points.

Sure! I have until seven so I'll fill as many as possible. :)

Yea let’s try to fit as much as we can before posting, if we’re lucky maybe we can fill or almost fill it up 😬

I’m going through my books and marking on the banked tab where they’d fit before I go through the rest of everyone elses

Great! I don't know what fits the last board so thank you both for your help!

I did sort the finished books again so the books with the highest total points are at the top so if possible I think we should work our way down to get the highest score.

so just fill in spaces but dont turn stuff in yet?

Yes but let's try to get the highest scoring books in there first before we add lower scoring books.

I'm up to LoveMurder if anyone else is putting in books. :)

for lives on farm does it have to be a still functioning farm? one of the MCs lives in a farm house on what used to be a farm and the book also hits at someone ending up goat farming?

I'd ask in Q&A

So I think I have fit everything I can in. Some of them I just have no way of knowing if they fit like for glasses and set in the 90's.

I think we should all talk and make sure that one of the books covering a currently filled category can't be used before we move anything and add anything etc. :)

I have one that should fit for glasses. I don't know if I want to review it though so I'll hold off on putting it unless we need it.

im reading a book rn ill finish tomorrow that ft an adoption if no one has one for that

I'll look through my banked books that are left and see if I can fit anything in. If I see something but it's taken, I'll post in here in case it can be moved to another category. Sound good?

Jenny I added two for you for pub in 2000 and 2003, I put the corresponding link at the end of the chart 😁

Thank you! I'll post later tonight. Going to bake some cookies to give away as presents for Christmas.

So since it’s 99% filled should we post at least for Th first round now?

I'd be okay with it but I think we should wait till at least tomorrow so we can be sure we won't have to move anything. If you don't have your review written then post that in the SS so whoever is on tomorrow can post for you if need be. :)
