Just wanted to let you know that your team's spreadsheet, and review thread, are posted and updated. Which means you now know what 3 Disney characters you are starting off with on August 1st!

Good luck!

Adding Misericordia to the team guys!

Okay I finished two books so far and posted for -
Mulan: MPG Historical Fiction & Merida: MC has 3+ siblings. Which means we just need 3 more tasks for those characters before we get new ones.

Not sure what my next book will work for but I'll let you know what I post it for after.

I'm almost done with Daughter of Sparta, which works for Merida: Features a competition. So I will post for that once I write my review. Which means we would just need 2 more for her before we get a new character.

Also are you guys okay with moving things around on the SS if someone finishes a book that works for a task that is claimed but not finished? Let me know.

Okay, I moved some things around since one of my books worked for Merida - 'bear' in text.

Celia, I moved your book 'the plot' to Mulan - 'Horse' in text. From google books, it looks like the book has 3 quotes with 'horses' in it. I couldn't find the exact page/percentage/chapter though.

Misercordia, I moved your book 'what the dog saw' to Rapunzel - thorn in text since you had a quote for that already.

I'm all for it :))

Yes! of course

Okay I moved Celia's book You have a Match to a task under Hercules for now since my book worked for Merida's task v in title. Looks like we just finished her as well so we will get a new character once I have time to do scores again!

Sorry I've been the cause for a lot of the moving, I started the month with a book that's outside my usual style and it's taking me a while to get into. It's not the kind of thing I can just binge read all in a day. I guess I can move to "a book outside of your comfort zone" then, since I'm not sure if I can search for "horse" in the book, since even though it's there it doesn't show up on Amazon (it's a hard copy so I can't search the book itself).

Are you reading on like a kindle or in an app? Or is it physical?

Physical hard copy unfortunately. It does fit for "out of comfort zone" though and then if someone else has an "accent" book for Merida I can move that one to "horse in text" if people want.

It's up to you. We don't need to post for Merida until we get her again.

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Merida guys! Your new character is HERCULES!

Ok.

Also, I noticed an inconsistency in the spreadsheet. For Raya, one of the tasks is "Author's initials are in ANDALASIA" (Giselle task) and it should be "Letters S,I,S,U in series title (in any order)" (Raya task). Just wanted to let you know Alaina in case it looks like this on other teams' sheets as well.

Well, that is very interesting - updated the threads.

Would you guys say these count for stars on cover? ?

Celia wrote: "Would you guys say these count for stars on cover? ?"

Sure, I'll count that.

Ok, then I moved that one to Rapunzel - stars on cover - but can use it for Mulan - horse in text - instead if anyone has something that works for the former.

Just wanted to let you all know that I have sent a message to Emily to remind her to check in with the team.

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Rapunzel guys! Your new character is RAYA!

Hello Team,

Just popping in to say hi and I hope you are all enjoying some amazing books! Keep up the great work team!

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Hercules & Mulan guys! Your new characters are POCAHONTAS & AURORA!

Yep ) I sure am ;) Hoping everyone else does as well!

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Pocahontas guys! Your new character is MOANA!

Alaina, I read like the first 30 pages of a book in July, dropped it, then picked it up and finished it from the beginning in August. Can I still count it towards a category for this challenge?

Yes you can count it 😬

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Bambi guys! Your new character is ARIEL!

Celia, I moved your copy of The Plot over to Ariel, because that way I could finish off Raya to get a new character. By the way, hope you're still enjoying it! I know you said before it was tough going for you. It definitely does get a bit slow at times.

Sounds good. I need to pick it back up, I liked it but got really busy this week and the only thing I had time for was audiobooks. The Plot had a huge waitlist at my library though so I couldn't continue that right away.

Congrats on finishing the first four tasks for Raya guys! Your new character is ALADDIN!
