I will do some O looking, too.

I haven't really liked anything this last week either. I think I need to find some rereads and reset.

what tv shows do you binge? I'm always looking for new ones.

I'm trying for 250ish pages and older than 2021. That'll get me closer to 30 pts per book.

Over 400 is hard for me.

Janine you signed up for 11 so your max is 17
(11 x 1.5 = 16.5, rounded up).

Janeylou wrote: "So , our total books are 85
Our word has 16 letters, so we can only make 5 full.words ( and 5 spare letters)
Am i understanding that correctly."

According to the Official spreadsheet that the mods created, our max letters is 139, so 8 words plus 11 letters.

If signed up for less than 10 books, max books is signed up +4. if you signed up for more its signed up x 1.5, but with a max of 30.

The round 1 tab of our Planning spreadsheet has the MAX Allowed books per person.

WE GOT OUR FIRST WORD(S)!

You can claim letters by entering the Code on the Books Tab, but just know that based on what else is available, we may have to move to maximize the words completed.

That too!!

Hello, I'm Lisa and I a co-captain with Amanda. I love spreadsheets, so let me know if you have any questions on our planning one as it is a creation from my brain. :)

My Shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I love wheel, mostly the mini challenges and trying to get everything completed.

I'm a Product Manager for a local software company. I've been married for 23 years and my only child turns 20 on Thursday this week! She's currently in college across the border in Wisconsin and has dreams of working for NATO or some other Human Right Organization.

Hubby and I like the casino and doing puzzles. Primary Ravensburger Disney Princess ones since I love princesses. Otherwise, I read...and do spreadsheet.

Excited to get started!

⏰OUR PLANNING Sheet⏰
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

This is a planning spreadsheet that we are going to use. My thought process in creating this was to make it easy to use and easy for Amanda and I to move books around as needed.

Books are added to the Rd X Books tab. Information added includes Title (with link), Page Count, Author, Main Character, and Narrator Name(s). There is also a column to enter the Publish Date to be able to calculate the points for that.

To place the book on a word, enter the corresponding Code in the Code Column. This will populate the Round X Tab with all the appropriate information to complete the line and help when it comes to moving those to the official spreadsheet. Only Amanda and I have permissions to edit the Round X tab. If you see an issue with information moving onto the Round X Tab, please let me know.

If you don’t like and/or don’t want to use the spreadsheet, feel free to enter a completion post in the thread. Make sure to include:
Title (Linked), Page Count, Author, Main Character, Narrator, Publish Date

It can be added to the spreadsheet by the captains or any other helpful teammate.

Any questions, please ask!

I just finished my last book. I know I won't get any more done.

This has been great!

I'm finishing in the next 20 minutes. It's short and works for Y on a few different challenges.

I just finished it so I'll move it to that one.

Do we think these letters are purple? for DW5D? purple text on cover.

I just started The Bride by Julie Garwood

Fixed this.
