MN Lisa’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

@April, @Vian @Vanessa - Here are some team name suggestions.

The Tipsy Chef
Soup-A-Stars
What the Fork?

We are also looking for at least one more member. That would make us a team of 5.

I'll sign us up once we have 5 or 6.

April wrote: "I read 20 a month."

So that is 68 per month with the 4 of us. Should we try for one more or go with these 4?

@April, @Vanessa, @Vian
My theory with these challenges is to not be last. Is that ok?

@April, how many books per month?

If we use the max books for round 1:
Lisa: 20 books
Vian: 10 books
Natasha: 12 Books
April: 20 Books

We would need one or two more I think?

April wrote: "@Vian and @MN Lisa do you guys want to start a team we will need to look for 2 more players."

I'm in. We can give it a day or so more and I might have one or two I could reach out to.

OK. I need a team.

I can read upwards of 20 books a month. I do love spreadsheets, but I've never played this challenge before.

If you are looking for a 6th, I could play. Otherwise I can find another team. :)

If you consider Spells poetry, the last book I read had poetry. :) The spell did rhyme.

Can Team Gods get decisions on their Grid Selections and Attacks?

Yes! Two
G8 - sunk
G4-I4 - sunk"

These are the only pieces we sunk or just the ones from last week's attack? We have never been told if we sunk any pieces so just want to know for sure before I plan this week's attempts.

Team Gods: Could someone please confirm if we killed (sunk) any pieces?

Warships uses the top 100 tags for a book, If you have or could read a book that has one of these tags in the top 100 that would be great. If you are going to start one we can put it on our spreadsheet so we don't overread for Warships. We only get 10 per week.

G2 - Dystopian
B6 - Greece
I8 - War
D9 - Feminist

Msg 90...any update on if we won or lost these squares?

Warships Hits on Week 5

G2 - Dystopian
B6 - Greece
I8 - War
D9 - Feminist

We have 15 books in our Bank. We could probably attack Week 6 with at least three on each one and still have a significant number in the bank.

I think we should try for
2 Dystopian
3 Greece
3 War
2 Feminist

That would have us using 1 Dystopian and 1 Feminist from our Bank

Team Gods Attacks:

Team Gods Target Info - Round 5
E1, G2, C5, E10, G9, B6, G7, I8, A9, D9

Here is what I am thinking for Round 5 Targets
E1, G2, C5, E10, G9, B6, G7, I8, A9, D9

I marked them with an "A" on our Target Field on the gSheet above.

Any objections?

Michelle wrote: "I am running a bit low on Middle East. I might be able to find one or two."

We could get away with 1 Middle East this week, but we will need at least one for next week since we have to hit E5 again. We only have a coin flip so the # of books doesn't really matter for our Win/Loss on the attacks.

We won 5 of our 7 attacks this week. Things are looking good. I've got a few ideas on what to attack for round 5. they are on our Target Field. I'll probably finalize a plan on Thursday. Let me know if you see a better plan.
