I'm double checking in the Captains chat so we know our min/max books per week. I can read more this week, but I don't want to jeopardize the team.

Time is up on Week 1 - we finished with 39 books!!!

End of Week 1!

Thanks Ora. Our spreadsheet says our weekly number is 36, so that's what I was using to calculate. Do we need to clarify we are all averaged at 38 even though our official sheet says 36?

@Lau Maia - I see that cover as blue.

My math says our 80%-120% for books would be 29-43. Which number is correct?

Our weekly goal is 36 & we are currently at 31. I don't know how many currently reading books people have left, but even if we went over 1 or 2 books, we'd still be in the 80%-120% for points.

@Kristel - If you can finish it before the countdown is up (link above in message 203), then I say go for it!

I've gone through & verified the Books Read posts & our master spreadsheet. We are currently at 29 books & 1,517 pts.

I'll be watching it closely for the next 24 hrs to make sure our spreadsheet is 100% updated at week 1 end.

Please know that I will only be verifying from our Books Read thread, so please remember to add your completion post there first.

Good work everyone! I unfortunately will only be able to read my average of 1.5 books this week.

According to the Captains, will NOT work for blue. I disagree, but the Captains have voted.

Captain's consensus is that is NOT red enough to count.

I think we made a great team, it was fun reading with you all!

For those of you playing TTs - good luck!

Wow... you are amazing!

I'll ask the Captains group about Seduced Under the Mistletoe & it being red.

Woo.... I'm glad I checked the converter. It starts Sunday at 3:00 pm for me. Guess I'll be finishing my lava book tonight!

I'm going to start with

Confirmed - this round is over late Sunday/early Monday like normal.
