If we have more than one, I say go for it. I'll be done with my list book tonight and then I'll post my books in the review thread.

I've posted all the other books. Would you be able to do our check in?

Yes. I can. I'm about to write my last couple of reviews, then I will check us.

Yes, thank you, Ela, the light bulb just came on when you explained it for me. I added the book that I just read to the banked tab.

We are checked in

For "GINGER" in title, does the title need to have two different Gs? Because if not then I can read for that one this week

Checking in! Apologies for the delay -- just got back from vacay where I had no service or internet last night!

I always take it to mean 2 if there is 2 of the same letters in the word, but you can clarify in Q&A.

Thank you, Shan!

Is anyone against deleting the banked books in the spreadsheet that we've already posted for?

Jamie asked this question in the Q&A and the title has to have 2 Gs

Got you checked in!

Your team is now all checked in :)

No problem at all.

Thank you! In that case I can maybe read for GINGER if I pick up a new book, but my CR won't count for it

I organized some stuff on the SS, we have a contestant and both bakes. Just need host/judge and the weekly theme

Thank you, Saige!

I can read The Wrong Mr. Right later this week for the theme (GINGER in title) if needed

Do we have enough for the Week 2 theme?

I can read Seas and Greetings for GINGER

Week 2 on the SS is missing the formula for Page Points

Hey all, I'm removing my read "will of the many" from week 2 because we already used it for a wealthy character in week one.
Does anyone else have a main character who goes hiking to replace it? If not I think I'll have one by the end of the week.

Oops, my bad! I forgot to take yours out of the banked tab. I'll just switch out the black forest torte for a different signature, we have plenty in the banked tab

Thanks for letting me know! It should be fixed now

Does anyone's banked book feature a short character? If so then we can do a third contestant, signature, and showstopper this week. I don't see it written down in any of the slots, but I figure a bunch of them likely do have a short character. It's just really tiring to write down every single category a book works for, lol

I read this one, but haven’t looked up to see if the audiobook hours will equal over 100 pages yet.

Actually it’s 151 pages so it will work.
Here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Ok sweet!

I know we still have time in the week, but I figure we should go ahead and start posting reviews if everyone is cool with how things are laid out in the SS

I’ll post mine later.

Is anyone else doing the theme? I think so far Shan ~A~ and I’ve read a book for it.

Was that for Ginger?

Yes

I don’t think I have anything that works.

I see some folks have books assigned in the SS but haven't yet posted them in the review tab. I can post for people if needed, but either way we should make sure to get all those done by the end of the day

I just posted the two that were on the list for me. I’m on my phone though so if someone wants to delete them from the banked tab, that would be very helpful.

Will do!

I will get my reviews posted now

Posted my reviews!

Sorry, I am a bit behind on my reading and posting. I've been sick this week and have not been up to doing much. I have a book that I am almost done with, but not sure I will get it done by midnight.

No worries Stormie! I hope you feel better soon

I just checked us in, but we were late. I think we need to coordinate either one person to always do the check-in, or we should decide who will check-in at the top of each week

I'm happy to do it consistently if we think that would be a good system

Hi Team Iain.

I will give you full points this week, but going forward you need to be checked in by midnight PST or there will be a 10 point penalty.

You can check in any time on Sundays, but once you've checked in you can't post any more books for that week.

Please let me know if you have questions :)

I'm good with that. Thanks for offering Saige :)

No problem at all!

Hey all! Just a reminder to please check the SS and post books before the deadline tomorrow. If you can't post for whatever reason I'm happy to post stuff for folks

I think I've posted all my books now and I can help posting the other books if needed.

Does anyone have a preference for next week's theme?
Tagged ‘Dark’ at least 10 times
”Melt” in text

I have one for "melt" but I feel like both would be pretty easy tbh

I don't have a preference as I agree with Saige's assessment that they would both most likely be pretty easy.

I agree that both seem easy. Do you think MPG Dark would work, instead of being tagged 10 times?

I bet if it's MPG then it's probably also tagged at least 10 times, but you can ask Aly

Ok, I posted the rest of our books and checked us in for the week! Sorry if folks were planning to post things later today - I don't want yall to feel rushed or anything. I live in Scotland, so it's 1 am for me right now. I wanted to have everything posted before I checked us in, but that means it's probably midday for some of you!

So, any opinions of dark vs. melt?
