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 Target Info - Round 5

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.

Team Gods missed a square in our attack.

H2 - Suspense - 1 Book: The House Across the Lake - 76 Users MPG.

Is there anyway we can get a decision on this now? the book was read I just forgot to include in our original attack post.

We hit 5 targets this week. I think we should do 2 of each category.

F2 - Dystopian
H4 - Middle East
G8 - MM
I4 - Witches
E4 - Space Opera

I can do both of the MM for sure and probably 1 of the dystopian. I'm not sure what the plan will be for next week since I'm still waiting decisions on our attacks.
