You might just wanna refer the spreadsheet.. its the name of the series that Amy's book is a part of.
Abbie wrote: "I put it as A, but i don't see the Amy's P you were talking about."I was talking about I Hunger For You which you have added as I in the second read-through.. I thought we can use it as P in the first read-through and try completing it as early as possible.

Using this book for A, fits Amy's one into P

I was just looking through the spreadsheet and then realized its so cool to see we reading the same books. :)
Hey Abbie, is it possible that you could pass this information on in your Admin group that the results posted for Week 4 are the same as Week 3 (unless there is something I am unaware of).I have sent a PM to NBRC Ninja as well.
Its fun to see how we end up reading each other's 'read' books.. Rebecca and me read The Color Purple, Rebecca and Riley read Jane Eyre, now Amy will read Magic Strikes which was read by Greta last week. :)
Guess, the admins think that we are a group that needs to work extra hard to attain spirituality :P ;)Nevertheless, another chance to overpower our previous best again ! :)
My reads to start of the week.Pegasus Bridge | Stephen E. Ambrose
Alphabet : P
The Last Suppers | Diane Mott Davidson
Alphabet : L
You must be kidding me ! Again ?! :O
That completes 3 spell-outs and a total of 385.7 books more than the last week.. 70 points more of our previous highest !
Pat yourself, folks ! :)
Looking forward to the next week..
We are raising the bar for our own selves, arent we ?
Phew !Finished : Utz | Bruce Chatwin
Alphabet to be used : U
Pained to complete this one and at the end of it, I doubt if I understood anything at all. :P
I will take half n hour more to finish the first U.. unless someone can quickly find an U Book, that would be it for us, then.
Got it ! I refreshed it to see the change ! Smart work ! :)
Although, it has a character named Blanche Ingram to use as I to keep things simple.
Abbie, you seem to have considered Jane Eyre by Riley twice !
Update (8/9/2014)Finished : The Color Purple | Alice Walker
Alphabet to be Used : S or A
---------------------------------------------------
About to finish : Utz | Bruce Chatwin
Alphabet to be used : U
.. and with this, we have the highest books read in a week for this challenge ! WTG, Team ! :)
No, I think there is some change in the previous updates.. lemme recheck and reorganize so that we have uniformity.
