I was going to say row #2 as well. Somewhere in that void up top.

I'll go with I4

We have all existing hits surrounded, we can go further on those (A7, F7, I4, I3, and F9) knowing max size is 5 squares.

Or, shoot for ..."

Great suggestion, Charlie :o)

This makes the most sense strategically. If Battleship went on longer than these couple weeks, we could guess just those boxes right next to hits that we know are going to be hits. But we don't have the amount of guesses we'd like to ensure no wasted guesses.
If we follow Charlie's strategy we know we will sink ships to earn points before the challenge ends.

Love seeing the strategizing.

Task - I7: read a book that is shelved as a Mystery by at least ten people (*bonus*)
How it fits - shelved as Mystery by 78 users

I have a new niece, Hazel.

I really slacked off on my reading over the weekend. My sister had an emergency c-section yesterday and lives 300ish miles away. Way too much time driving and not enough reading.

C7

Can we choose not to use books and 'bank' them for future challenges?

Not until tomorrow. You got it. We work ten hour shifts M-TH, so I get Fridays for reading.

Wonderful. Make sure your book is shelved 10 times as mystery:-) Will add you to the list."

Okay, my mystery book is Next with 81 shelving it as a mystery.

Good thing i didnt change that I7. I can read for that since it's mine.
Also I need to read a book before the end of the week for another team, Targeted and it's a Good Reads author, so I can cover that as well (this one should only take a dayish to read)

Laura wrote: "Sorry my extended Lunch is over. I'll be back later!! Meg we are going with your first guess then ?"

yup.

Laura wrote: "E2 rather than I7, Meg?

Just a reminder that if the first coodinate given is a " hit" then I'm not allowed to change all the other " guesses"."

No, don't change it then. I don't want to jinx it.

Like E2.
