Not having any luck right now. I'll check back in later (lots of reading to do) and see if any new matches have been made.

No problem at all for me. I'll read whatever, just want to help the team! Let me see what other matches I can find.

I know. I was thinking of maybe reading that one too.

I wasn't able to find ANY books that start with "called" though, so it would be a dead end.

LOL we all keep posting all at the same time. I keep refreshing and scrolling up to make sure I don't miss anything.

Nope! Plenty of time. We still have another... 19 ish hours? Someone have that countdown clock handy? Are you done?

Which category in Battleship is this for?

Heat one: the one that we have to finish before opening up any other tasks, can have each person reading up to one book per leg.

Heat two can have people reading multiple books per leg, as long as they are not back to back (and as long as there is enough space for everyone to get a book in to either heat one or heat two)

Thanks Amy! I'll update the spreadsheet right now. Did you like it?

The Genre Minx wrote: "It may have been asked but can a person read more than 1 book/leg?"

For heat one, each chain in the leg must be read by a different person (so for leg 3, we need 7 different people) but in Heat two, a person can read more than one book in a leg as long as they are not back to back.

How did you like Edenbrooke, Joanne? I have a GR's friend who wants to do a BR later this summer or maybe fall."

I liked it. It's a very sweet romance.

Finished for F2

Ok I have GOT to go get some reading done. I'll be back later. Don't have too much fun without me.

I could read Girl in the Dark since Girl and Dark are both on the list of common words that Vicky posted.

LOL so much dust right now

I think you misunderstood me. "The Wild Girls" is in Amy's possible reads list. I'd just be reading "girls like us" after her. not both books. It's just a suggestion for a possible chain. ..."

OOooooooooohhh. Mistake. When you wrote "Amy can read..." I must have read "I can read..." Whoops. Sorry about that. Yeah that would work. :)

What I come on to try to get in on the planning fun and everyone runs off to eat dinner? Lol

Anyone interested in a book starting with GRAVE?

We have
Grave Peril (Dresden Files #3)
Grave Mercy
Grave Sight
Grave Witch
Grave Surprise
Grave Secrets
...and many more!

We're looking for this for Heat 1, so please remember if you want this spot, there is some pressure to finish your book in a timely manner.

Ok it looks like everyone is throwing out lots of titles, which is great. Now we need them to link, which is the hard part.

So here is a list of all the books that are listed. Can everyone look through their books and see if they find something they would like to read that would link with any of them?

In Bed with the Devil
Made You Up ➜ Up From the Grave
Reflection Point
An American in Scotland
A Duke but no Gentleman
The Infinite Sea ➜ Sea Spell ➜ Spell Bound/Spell of the Predator's Moon (match BOUND or MOON)
Coming Home
Breathe Annie Breathe
Out of the Easy
A Duty to the Dead
First Comes Love
Heir of Fire ➜ Fire and Ice
Falling Into You
Maybe Not
Enslaved by Blood ➜ Blood Trail ➜ Trail of the Spanish Bit
Heir of Sky
Queen of Fire
The Wild Girls ➜ Girls Like Us
The Game of Love and Death
Gathering Blue

I may have missed some but get those juices flowing with this list.

That's correct. It needs to be the word exactly with no variations.
