Super! Thank you, Jenny!

Yes please :)

Just noticed I can’t write in it, only read. Can you check that?

Try it now Claire - I think I linked the template and not our SS

Finished my tree book and added it to the SS

Works fine now, Jenny! Thanks and thanks for adding the book.

If no one minds, I will read for two people on cover. I'm reading

I'm also reading but it doesn't fit anything unless we can manage to agree that there's a pink dress on the cover. lol

IDK that looks like a pillow to me...:)

Just put yourself down for a book when you're reading one that fits that task. First come, first served, but after you finish a book. Like we're doing on Team Frans :)

Yes, I was teasing you girls! lol I know it isn't a dress.

Vicki, I said in message 9 I was reading two persons:-) Why do you insist on taking away my tasks everywhere 😂

Claire, oh my sweet little Claire, I am BLIND!!! I looked to see if anyone had claimed it and guess I overlooked it but no worries! I can do another one.

I am leaving tomorrow and was going to take my husband's tablet but I can't figure out how to add comments. I saw your comment but there was NOWHERE that allowed me to respond so I had to get on my computer. It (tablet) shows my notifications, so I saw a comment Trisha made on our Team FRANS but when I went to go to it, it said I had to join to become a member. lol Hellooooo??? I already am a member. I get so messed up with unknown devices. It wanted me to join GR but my name and notifications and reading challenge were all there so I don't know what's going on. Expect me to try to steal more, so just stay on top of me!!! LOL

I'm taking 2 books with me that I know will work for the following, but if I overlooked someone's "claim" to these it's okay. I just want to be sure I contribute while I'm gone so I'll do these 2 if no one else already has them read:

Domestic dog
Green dress
Child on cover

Square: child on cover

De tweeling Tessa de Loo 480 p. 1/14/19 3 stars

Two people on the cover

I finished my book that covers green dress and I added it to the spreadsheet and hope that it worked. I have been having issues with posting something and then it isn’t there. I don’t think that I stepped on anybody’s toes with those two books but if I did just remove it and use only what we need. Claire, I’m Toria‘s for bumping you but I don’t do it on purpose! So if I did it again I’m sorry and just remove my books and put yours! Lol

Now I can’t access the spreadsheet and I am more frustrated than I care to admit! If someone wouldn’t mind, please add my books for me.

Sam Hell finished 1/16
A Single Shard by Linda Sue Clark (horse on upper left of the vase).

I updated it for you Vicki.

We almost have one diagonal BINGO! Just need a bed for that one.

Thank you, Jenny! Woo hoo!

I have read a desk
Educated: A Memoir Tara Westover 334 p. 21 january 2019 5 stars

And trees

Would somebody please add my book for me? Sometimes I can write on my spreadsheet on my phone and other times I can’t. I obviously don’t know what I am doing but I get lucky sometimes. LOL

Dog square:
Book: My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry.

I got you Vicki!

Thank you, Jenny! :)

Which squares do we still need covered that are not already cleaned?

Baby
African Animal
Sofa
Lamp
Bed
Clock
Road
Red dress
White dress
Black dress
Pink dress
Domestic Cat

Scratch pink dress - I had that one and didn't realize it :)

We have one bingo - V3!

Thanks Jenny. I’m going to go through my books and see if any of mine fit. I have had one heckuva time getting on a computer that has a good internet connection OR getting onto certain spreadsheets. I’m about to tear my hair out!

White dress: Frost Line by Linda Howard
Road: A Trouble of Fools by Linda Barnes
Black dress: The Memory of Love

The road is there but maybe not enough to count.

If these work, would someone please add to the SS?

I see Trisha got black dress. I got white dress covered. If you guys would look at my ROAD book & if you think it can be used either add it or let me know & I will. Right now I have Internet but not sure how long it’ll keep a decent connection.

Vicki, I’m not sure about the road book. So I have to see what others say . Anyway, if needed I have read with better roads.

I can see the road, but agree it might be better to have a more defined road. I'll add white dress for you.

Claire, what road do you have?

Okay we only have 8 spots left to claim/find

African Animal
Sofa
Lamp
Bed
Clock
Road
Red dress
Baby

Do y'all think this works for lamp on cover?



top left window

Jenny, by definition a lamp is “any of various devices furnishing artificial light, as by electricity or gas.” So I say it fits. I thought it had to be something set on the table or on the floor but evidently not.

Btw do we need to get all those covers read by tomorrow?
