Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6237 comments Hi ladies... great to be here. Good to be on the same team again Renee, we kicked butt last time and ready to do it again. And Sallie we were on Mango Tango together and that was so fun. Good to meet my other team members too. So ready to read.


message 23: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments Hey Sallie, how do you want to track all our books? Would you like us to put all our planned reading in one post then update with dates when finished or just post as finished? Would you like us to list which letters the book could count for?

I've got several books on the go at the moment. I put off finishing some and just started new ones in the hope that I could use them for this. ...... cheeky I know ;)

Well - Im not sure how to do this just yet...


message 27: by Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (last edited Jul 11, 2014 08:01PM) (new)

Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments Ok after some thought~was trying to figure this out & talk to my BFF on the cell~wasnt working too well lol I am going to create a spreadsheet in google docs once I get that done I will post a link...I think the easiest way for me to track is if we each take a spot & create a book list that goes with the letter we have chosen...how do you want to decide the letters? do you want to put the word in random.org & we have the luck of the draw or do we want to do this first come first serve basis...the problem with the latter is that someone maybe stuck with an "icky" letter especially if they are late checking in etc...so yall think about it & which ever the majority rules for will be fine...

Renee what do you think? Since you are Co-Captain here I would love some feedback please


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments If yall wouldnt mind could you tell me what your favorite color is?


message 29: by Lisa - (Aussie Girl) (last edited Jul 11, 2014 08:18PM) (new)

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6237 comments Um, I was going to wait and see what the word of the week was and just check my enormous TBR pile and read a book which matched one of the letters.. I read about 2-3 books a week and could knock out 2-3 letters that way.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6237 comments For a colour, I'll pick red.


message 31: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments My favorite color is purple.

I may not be a huge help this week because I'm stuck on my phone till Thursday. Not sure the best way to manage it in one thread but I think Google docs might be the answer. With uncover it I had heaps of threads to coordinate things. I think of we list the books we plan to finish this week and all the letters they could work for most of the letters will work themselves out. If we are missing any ask for volunteers. I can usually cover icky letters.


message 32: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments My color is dark blue :)

NBRC Book Ninja | 1025 comments week one

message 35: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments I can't tag the books on my phone but I'm reading:

Life After life by Kate Atkinson (L - title, A - author, U -main character Ursula, T - character Teddy, S - character Sylvie, I - character Isobel)

The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M Harris (T - title, L - main character Loki)

The worst thing I've ever done by Ursula Hegi (T - title, U - author, A - main character Annie)

The summer we came to life by Deborah Cloyed (T or S title, S - main character, I - character Isabel)


message 36: by Skandia (last edited Jul 12, 2014 02:22AM) (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments I'm reading The Illegal Gardener by Sara Alexi - I, S, A

"Spiritual" is really not my genre, so I leave the genre points for somebody else to pursue :)

Also if needed I have to finish Palo Alto, has P


message 37: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments Looks like we can go for a double take this week, nice short word :)
I have two more books to find tomorrow for team challenges next week, so if I know the letters we need, I'll take this into account when choosing my books.


message 38: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments I'm not sure if any of mine count as spiritual. Can someone look for me? Loki is all about gods and had gospel in the title?

Looks like it is more mythology. I don't see it shelved as spiritual


message 40: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments Thanks Karen.

message 42: by Lisa - (Aussie Girl) (last edited Jul 12, 2014 04:14AM) (new)

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6237 comments Looks like we still need a "R"..and the genre.


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments As you finish your book mark it read & I will add it to the spreadsheet then I will start to total our points.


message 44: by Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (last edited Jul 12, 2014 11:26AM) (new)

Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments Here's the link to the spreadsheet that I have created so far...please feel free to offer suggestions as to how to make it easier for everyone to track what they have listed to read...I have a spa appt in a little over an hour so I will be off here for a bit but I will be back on sometime later this afternoon...

message 46: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments We are still waiting for 3 team members to check in.

Sallie I requested access to the spreadsheet. I'll have a look later. Did you find the links to everyone's wheelathon shelves in the where to find your team spreadsheet? I haven't seen your spreadsheet yet but if you have it set out with the the genre word the you allocate the books where you best think they fit. Keep note of the other letters they may work for incase you need to shuffle them around.


message 47: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments I'm off to bed. Hopefully meet the rest of our team when I wake up:)


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments I have sent Dawn a PM to let her know that we are waiting for her to stop by & say hello...will have to send Saksi a PM from the iPad since my PC will not allow me to message her a first time because the encarta thingy is not working so I will move to the iPad to send her message...anyone have any questions?
Dont forget to mark books "AS READ, WITH FINISH DATE" & if you would like to PM me to let me know that you've completed a letter that would be awesome...this way Im not likely to miss anyone...


Sallie(GeorgiaGirl) (shuga) | 775 comments I also picked up The Alchemist today which is marked as Spiritual so I have the genre portion of this covered & at least a couple of "R"s this week too


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6237 comments Nice spreadsheet, Sallie. Looks like we have it handled for this week and we still have three people to contribute. Good one.
