Haha ~ it's like you are our parent :P We will be good for Abby.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know what its like trying to run this group on your own, it is really tough! I think I got all stressed out the last time Abbie had no internet for a week!

How long are you gone for Sarah cause maybe you guys could add a temporary Mod or two???

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll be without internet for 7 and a bit days. Abbie can do that if she's struggling ☺

[Michaela]

Have fun Sarah! And it must be really hard to run a group that big! Thank you guys! We'll be glad to help if needed!

[Abi]

You'll have to bear with me on some days, but i've done it before, so should be okay. Thankyou for the offer though. :)

[Jackie]

Wow good luck keeping track of both challenges.

[Jackie]

If you need any temporary help, I would be glad to do it! It is summer right now so I am not doing anything and I had some experience.

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Hi Sarah, can I please reread To All the Boys I've Loved Before so that I can finally read P.S. I Still Love You already? :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

How often does the grid change again? Weekly? And every team has the same grid right? Also what day of the week does it change?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The grid doesn't change, and everyone picks from the same board ☺

[Abby]

Has the gold star been found?

[Connie]

What's the other just for fun team?

Sarah wrote: "The grid doesn't change, and everyone picks from the same board ☺"

Really I thought it changed. O.O Oh well. TY.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Connie wrote: "What's the other just for fun team?"

I think most of the B teams are JFF. Not sure Brown is definitely a JFF team though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Connie wrote: "What's the other just for fun team?"

Brown, Bronze, and Black are Just-for-fun teams ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abby wrote: "Has the gold star been found?"

As far as I am aware it has not been found, I'm just checking with Abbie though ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Sarah I'm a bit confused how the points work. So when we choose boxes we seem to either get 1 or no points added to our total. But when someone gets the required 7 boxes the total then seems to change. So how does that work?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Oh wait are the 1 or no points somehow related to BR????

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Bookbuyer wrote: "Oh wait are the 1 or no points somehow related to BR????"

No wait scratch that my original question stands.

[Connie]

I think the 1 or 0 points that are added straight away are the BR/book points then when a person gets 7 boxes, Sarah totals them up and adds the points from the boxes to the score :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Connie wrote: "I think the 1 or 0 points that are added straight away are the BR/book points then when a person gets 7 boxes, Sarah totals them up and adds the points from the boxes to the score :)"

KK. That makes sense I guess. But I have a point and I haven't done a BR yet.

[Connie]

But have you read a book? You get a point for your book, a point for your BR and the points from your box

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Connie wrote: "But have you read a book? You get a point for your book, a point for your BR and the points from your box"

Really? I guess I should read the first post again. lol. Thanks!

[Marie-Claude aka MC]

We need 7 boxes to get points from it??? I don't understand, I thought we get whatever is in the box???

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Marie-Claude aka MC wrote: "We need 7 boxes to get points from it??? I don't understand, I thought we get whatever is in the box???"

If I understand your question Sarah will only tally your points after you have 7 boxes. It would be too much work to do it after every box.

[Marie-Claude aka MC]

Ohhhh haha. Ok. The last part on the convo had me confused. Thanks for the clarification!! :)

[Jenn]

Can I reread this serie for this challenge ?

Sarah wrote: "Abby wrote: "Has the gold star been found?"

Wasn't found yesterday. :)

[Abi]

You get 1 point added to the buddy read column for every buddy read you do, or 2 points if the book you were buddy reading was over 450 pages. You get one point added to the point section for every book you read.

Once you've chosen a total of 7 boxes, your points from those boxes gets added to your points column. We don't do this after every box because then you can see which box has what amount of points.

That's fine. :)

These scores may be a bit lower than before, as I've not done the decimals, which means the pages under 1000 have not been added onto the total score.
This is just to make scoring a bit quicker, as I'm on my own this week.

[Abby]

Has the gold star finally been uncovered? I feel like it should have by now. ;)

[Abi]

Abby wrote: "Has the gold star finally been uncovered? I feel like it should have by now. ;)"

It has. :)

[Abby]

Sorry to keep prodding, Abbie but was it uncovered just in the last time you totaled? Just trying to figure things out because I think I'm close. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It wasn't discovered by this time last night, so it must be in a box that was totaled today ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Abbie I don't know if this was already done but two of our team members (Lexi and Dougjjones) have not chatted or otherwise indicated that they are still present in the game since the third. Could you message them please?

[Berit☀️✨]

I think Sarah did that before she went on vacation, we have a team member who is MIA as well ;-)
