35559 The book I have in for SZ1, has an I in the author's initials. If you have a W, we can swap
But if not, then A is ok

35559 I think I might be swapping my books out for another one. So if one of my books is different, it's because I've found something better
Sep 26, 2019 05:00AM

35559 Yep I'm like that too. I've been trying to not start any new challenges until the old one finished is about to finish...It's kinda working

35559 I had a look at other teams' spreadsheets that had points taken from them, and I think you're right Sammy. We have 80 regeneration points
If we had damage, then the amount would be listed under Damage R3&4

So, we're good :P
Sep 23, 2019 02:54PM

35559 Oh do they? That’s good.

On the SS, it says on the regeneration thread ‘80’ and next to group 1 bonus on the Round 4 tab. Cell L10.

But underneath for Damage R3&4 it says 0. So I’m not %100 sure

35559 Ohhhh that's good! I hope it will! I think we're doing super already but +200 points is always welcome!

We also need to regenerate some points. I think we lost it due to the pink section

I'm happy to sort out the pages for the ladder if we all put the page numbers either here or on the SS.

We'll need 8 books for that. I just finished one that doesn't count. I didn't think to look before I read it.

It has for October 20th. It’s Save the Date by Annabeth Albert and I think it might be free for everyone to get on Kindle. I’ll volunteer for DQ but am happy to be the back up for the team if someone else wants to write DQ

35559 Maybe we can have a list of possible books on the spreadsheet? It might be useful for Envy, Lust, Gluttony... ?

35559 I haven't had much luck with BOM this year. The books that win, I haven't been able to get a copy of.

Maybe for November/December, we can choose a book that majority of us have or can get, nominate it, vote for it and then read for it?

There's also the backroom we can coordinate for.

35559 I'm finished with my book! We're nearly done now

There is an E! In "the"

I..."


Don't know how I missed out n that *facepalms*
but it makes sense why it was pink - because we didn't fill it in

35559 Emma... I just realised that for you Countdown #9 book, there's no E in your title! That's why it's highlighted pink

We can't read an extra book can we?

35559 Okay I've asked the thread.
I'm happy with most points too and with coming third :P

You could say that the wings are spiky but I'm not 100% sold on it

35559 Would grass work for being prickly? Heartbreak Hotel by Deborah Moggach

Sitting/lying on grass is prickly to me. Especially if you're wearing shorts/skirt/dress
Sep 20, 2019 07:56PM

35559 Also, would you guys think that grass is prickly? If you lie on it, I think it is. I can put it for book 10 in the countdown

Hang on Lisa, I just edited the numbers! It should be correct now!


We can do other words for SZ3 but on/in seems to be a good choice
Sep 20, 2019 07:31PM

35559 so, I think we should do Option 1


SZ1
5 books
5 letters: 150 points + 80 bonus points = 230 points

SZ2
4 books
200 points

SZ3
a (30 p) & i (40 p)
x3 on (80 points) & x1 in (80 p)
who (110 p) & not (110 p)
with (140 p) & only (160 p)
cover (170 p) & author (210 p)


OPTIONS
1. SZ1 + SZ2 = 430 with 9 books. Then SZ3 with 'i' (40 p) for 10 books. TOTAL 470
2. SZ2 + SZ3 = 440 (if we do x3 in/on). TOTAL 440
3. SZ3 + SZ1 = 160 (on/in) + 40 (i) + 230 . TOTAL 430

35559 Yay Lisa!

I'll have a look at the maths now

35559 Hey all!

Super excited to play tower teams again. I started last year with the HP one. 🦡

I’m from Melbourne Australia so I might be responding to you guys at opposite times to you. :P

I’m working part time and studying part one at uni doing a Master of Public Heath.
Other than reading, I’m into gardening. Spring has just started so I’ve just planted some new flowers, herbs and vegetables. Hopefully I can keep them alive though. And like always, I must mention that I have a rabbit named Athena and a dog named Jessie.
