Wow, that's clever haha, I love it.
I think it may work, but I believe we should ask in the captains group.

Hello!
I finished 2 books this week =), I'll try to finish another tomorrow.
I'm updating the spreadsheets now and we're doing good =)
And I'm starting a book set in China then

Gem, remember that if you see a book that can work for Jackanory please mark them in the tracking spreadsheet, that way we won't use them for tasks or BINGO

I'm sorry I haven't been posting, but I wanted to let you know that I read you everyday, work has taken all my time recently, I need a vacationnn ahaha

Ahahaha I've heard VERY few people talk about that book like that, but I believe that will be what I'll think about it XDD

Maddy wrote: "Question. The lost orphan is 352 pages. Why is it 400 in the Ss?"

for BOMs we're told to use certain editions for the page count, in that case is the default edition for The Foundling

Andrea wrote: "Quick question, Do we have to read a book for "free space" in the bingo?"

Yep, we'll get points for that space too, it's E4

I'm pretty sure that Throne of Glass was a recommendation from another team

I finished The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton and I really liked it!

Mamacita, please add this book to your TT shelf

Brittany, remember to add Gemina and A Song of Wraiths and Ruin book to your TT shelf
Maddy, please, add your book Across the Sapphire Sea to your TT shelf.
And Mamacita, How To Love A Duke in Ten Days isn't in your TT shelf either.

Welcome Sehrish!!
It's great to see you so excited about the challenge.

As you may know, only books started after the challenge started count. And we have a tracking spreadsheet where we load our books and the tasks they work for.
We're trying to finish the BINGO tasks first, but if your book don't fit any BINGO task we'll use it for other tasks, don't worry.

About Discworld, I've been told to start with Mort, but I'm pretty sure that Equal Rites (which is this month BOM) will be a good start too.

If you participate in any of the BOMs let us know.


(I hated I'll give you the Sun hahahaha, but I know it's a lot of people favorite =P )

Oooh right, I won't worry about the ones started on April 30 then

Yeah it seems to be that kind of book haha


I just checked the books we're using and noticed that some were started before May 1st so I fear we can't use them:

Melissa your book The Queen of Nothing says you started on april 30
Andrea your book His Majesty's Dragon says you started on april 30
Mel, your book The Murmur of Bees it says you started it on april 30
Sixty, your book Waking Gods it says you started it on april 25
Brittany your books After I Do and The Perfect Guests, it says you started them on april 29
And Mamacita, your book Rescuing Casey it says you started on april 22.

I think that some of the ones "started on april 30" are because of the time difference
Don't worry, we'll use your next reads =)
