Sharon can you add Sanatorium to your shelf"

Fixed mine

I'm using NBW in the Bonus Code to indicate that the bonus words (Vinegar, etc) are not in the book. I am not currently using them if they don't have a bonus word unless it has something that is hard to find (Like Fig for Family mini)

I moved the unfinsihed books from Rd 1 to Rd 2. I think it was just Amanda and Carmen.

Jackie. I wouldn't rush to finish. We would need at least one more O to begin another word and we don't have books waiting to start a new one. With Os being at a premium next round too...I wouldn't worry if you don't finish.

zoeycat....I can see the books on your shelf, but they don't have read dates. Can you add those when you get a chance? Please and Thank You.

Can someone post by DQ posts to the BOM tab
Day 1 - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/......"

I posted to our Planning spreadsheet. Did you write questions too or just participate in the discussion?

Round 1 goes to 3pm CT on 10/26. So they will still count.

Should I add it to the spreadsheet or skip it?"

I'd skip that one. But I see a Turf Wars book there. :)

I'm sure Amanda and I will be looking at the books for use in the Mini challenges. There is a lot I'm going to try and summarize it. Maybe that will make it a bit easier. It's a lot of info. We can complete these mini's multiple times.

Family Mini is about Food.
✔ Check Book for Lobster or Vinegar
Add info to Column V
✔ Check Book for Food Items Listed
Add info to Column W
✔Check Tags for Countries Listed
Add info to Column W

Garden Mini is about Gardening.
✔ Check Book for Piano or Violin
Add info to Column V
✔ Check Book for Color Cover (50% or More)
Add info to Column W

Admin Mini is about Office Work.
✔ Check Book for Coffee Table or Quilt
Add info to Column V
✔ Check Book for office related items (mostly A1 to A13)
Add info to Column W

**There are other things to look for, but they use the title and author, etc to find so I can look if its easier for anyone.

Lots of Os

I've noticed that other teams have an "overflow" tab for books over the max, so if you do read over your max, please add them to the Rd 1 Books (or whatever week we are on).

Amanda and I will be able to pick which of your books to use. Sometimes a lower page count book will be better if we can finalize a word.

So please document all books you've read in a round.

Here is the info.

Hey Carmen.

At the top of Round 1 page it shows your MAX (not signed up for) books and how many you've read.

The Member Info shows both your signed up amount, your max and how many you've read.

You:
⭐️ signed up for 5 per round
⭐️ read 6 so far
⭐️ have 1 not read on the spreadsheet
⭐️ Can read 9 at MOST

Thanks!

Not Shelved
📙Janine: SOS Hote, for A Supernaturally Safe stay
📙Carmen: Eleven on Top

Not Read, but Used
If you are not going to finish by 3pm CT on 10/26, please remove the code from the spreadsheet. It can be moved to Round 2 if needed
📕 Amanda: The County Fair Queen
📕 Jackie: One for the Money, Death and Honor, Pretty Girls
📕 Maritza: Road Trip

There are other books I'm not listing but they haven't been assigned to a word yet and will be assigned if they are read for the round.

If you are not going to finish a book this round, please move to Rd 2 Books as needed.

Thanks!

We are doing great. 4 Complete words and two in process.

1 Os will allow us to complete word # 5.

Word #6 needs:
O - 3
W
E - 2
L - 1

Word 7 needs everything.

I would say if we get more than 4 Os to finish those for the next word. That word also needs 3 Os per completion.

Its 3pm CT so I think that 9pm London time?

That's the problem with a lot of holiday ones. They are too short for most challenges.

We just got the next Pass the Parcel call and I'm specifically trying to find a book that has an O, over 300 Pages and published before 2021. LOL. Love trying to find a book to work for more than one challenge.

I also added a Bonus Word (Column V) to indicate if the bonus work exists in the book. I listed the words in the grey header. We get a bonus 5 pts per book if the book used for the bonus includes words:
Admin: Coffee Table, Quilt
Garden: Piano, Violin
Family: Lobster, Vinegar

Books must be finished in Round 2 or later. The Planning spreadsheet has been updated to show the three Mini's that will start on 10/26.

Rd 2 Books now has a column for Bonus Code and Bonus Reason. If you book qualifies for a bonus, add the code here. Then the Bonus Reason (Column U). Everything will populate the Mini Tab.
