GET IIIIIIT!!!! Love love love. I'm half asleep at work right now guys...stayed up too late reading ;)

We need N-E-R-A to fulfill our second spell-it-out! I'm working on a book that can complete all four of those so pick and choose!

I'll be able to check when I get to work. I'm on the bus for the next 30 min.

We officially have our Y covered so no pressure with that! Hopefully it covers other letters as well :)

I'm doing it, worry not ;)

Just overnight, that bumped us to 255 pts!!!!! SWEEEEEEEET!!!!

Oh my goodness the best things happen when we sleep! Princess, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Kimberly, yay cake!!!!! Have a safe, fun trip and update if you can :)

Yay!!!!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!! As always, look out for a Y...damn Y.......

OK FRIENDS! We are at 205 pts for this week so far!!! Last week we ended at 365 so...We got a bit of reading to do yet!!!

Princess - I REEEEAAAALLLLLYYYY need you to find me characters from those two books you read that will fit this challenge so that I can count them! Pretty please!!!!!!

Tonya - How is your progress going on Dark Places??? We haven't gotten an update from you in a few days.

Sarah, Berit and Kimberly - Keep up the great work beauties!!!

Savannah - Oh captain, my captain :) Rock on.

Me - I'm starting Redeployment now. I should have this, as well as The Children Act finished by Saturday's deadline.

Forgot to mention, MINE WAS A GRAY COVER!! yaaaaaay!

I finished too!!!!!!

The Tusk That Did the Damage by Tania James


G: Gravedigger
R: Raghu
A: Synthetic Achan
T: title
E: Emma Lewis

Oooooooh! DUH hahaha you're right

I know the Buzz Books can count. What doesn't count though are the authors used WITHIN Buzz Books. So far neither the "B" in the title, nor the publisher, fulfill a letter requirement. Therefore, we need a character name WITHIN one of the EXCERPTS in order for this book to count.

You CAN use character last names as well as frequently used nicknames. THANK YOU Berit for actively trying to help us get that Buzz Book to count!!!!

It took some tetris shuffling but...drumroll please...

WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR FIRST SPELL-IT-OUT!!!!!!!

::loud obnoxious cheering::

We are one book into our Second spell-it-out so LET'S GO TEAM!!!

Points Update: 145

I also cannot count Let's Pretend This Never Happened if you can't come up with at least one character that can work.

That is actually a question that has been asked, Savannah, and the BOM questions will only count if: 1. The book was Finished within the week, 2. The BOM questions are for that same week, and 3. You have been actively participating in that BOM, including answering discussion questions and responding to other readers' answers.

The BOM bonus points were earned last week as I finished All the Light We Cannot See within the time allotted, answered the questions and interacted with other readers.

Unfortunately, for all three BOMS, volunteers have been piling up. I was able to post BOM questions due to sheer last minute drop-out luck.

How can I use Buzz Books for any letter??? Sorry Princess but I need specifics

I really am because it also means I got to start reading The Tusk That Did the Damage and oh em gee it's soooo good so far!!! I already cried once on the bus and it was only page 13.

Guys. I finished To a Mountain in Tibet. Ugh. I'll post the deets when I get home.

GREAT JOB SARAH!!!!!
