TT2-September BAP Challenge-Post if finished here.

[Jojobean]

I have a question. I just wanna know the minimum number of pages a book has to be.

160, unless you use a "blinkie."

I apologize if you've already answered this but...How would you like us to submit this challenge once it's completed? Would you like our spreadsheet or for us to post somewhere the books?

Rebecca, you may submit it several ways. Post it here; post a link to your post over in the "sister group"; post a link to your spreadsheet - if it is clearly understandable!

Pewter Blue is done! :D

The "Final List" tab is (hopefully) easy enough to submit. Let me know if it's not and I'll work some spreadsheet magic! :)

Congrats, Pewter Blue on achieving 9.9% = 9 BAPs for the September Challenges.

Q. JoLene wrote: "Can we use regular cupcakes to substitute for 1 (or more) books for the Sept challenge....we might be short 1 or 2.

A. Yes, we'll even lower the exchange rate to THREE regular cupcakes for one book challenge option/position/slot.

Q. JoLene wrote: "I know we can use blinkies....for a blinkie, I think we can pull in a book since April 12, right??"

A. Correct. Also, if the page count is too low on that book. We've lower the exchange rate to just ONE "blinkie" per book challenge option/position/slot, too.

Also, don't forget:

Using "Blinkie" Cupcakes in the September Challenge

One "blinkie" may be used to replace any slot on the Mods' September Challenge. (No, you don't need any addition regular cupcakes with it, like was necessary in past challenges.)

In addition, if you have a larger book, they may be used repeatedly. The breakdown is as such: the first time it is used, and ever increase thereafter: 112,500, 200,000, 350,000.

In the example used, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling has a 257,154 word count, which makes it a "Triple Threat."

Example:

"A Book a Day..." Challenge
Day #4 - read a book where the main character is fighting for some greater good
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling (Read by Jim on 9/16)

Animal Alphabet
H. - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K. Rowling (Read by Jim on 9/16)
O. -
R. - Rowling, J.K. = Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Read by Jim on 9/16)

Midnight in the player's time zone. However...

Everyone needs to be posted by Internatational Time October 1, 2013 6 P.M. PDT, giving you all enough time to organize, we hope.

When submitting our tallies for this challenge, do you just need to see book totals, or are you looking to see actual books read for each category?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Sandy wrote: "When submitting our tallies for this challenge, do you just need to see book totals, or are you looking to see actual books read for each category?"

Do you mean for each individuate, Sandy? Both would be nice.

You may just post the link to your spreadsheet, if it is easily understandable. (Or even really impressive, like Pewter Blue's.)

[Kate S]

I am hoping this is clear enough. Posts 1-6 should show the breakdown of our books for September.

We are currently at 132/134 books needed for 9.9%. I am expecting we will get the last two books soon. If I need to do something different, the sooner I know, the better. Thanks.

OK...I ended up creating a spreadsheet, though it doesn't match the magnificence of Pewter Blue's. After my team verifies everything I'll post the link to the SS.

Nope. That is great, Kate. Thanks!

FYI, there is a small error on your spreadsheet. The 9.9% goal should be 62 books, not 61. However, you more than covered this with your 67 books read.

I meant to tell you last night, but it was getting late.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Congrats, Marvelous on achieving 9.9% = 9 BAPs for the September Challenges.

LOVED reading all your reviews. Almost 100% of your books had one. Thanks! Added to my TBR list.

Some links to the applicable participants' posts in the "sister group" would have been nice, as well as a total on your spreadsheet... but we muddled through.

Thank you! Sorry for the extra work...I could have added links for you!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

I figured it out, Sandy, I just stared checking Post #15 and was copying and pasting all of those titles... until I smacked my forehead and realized it was an example. Then I went scrolling for everyone's finished posts.

I survived. ☺

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Ashley Marie, still checking. I do NOT see where ★gwendolyn★ 'tagged' with her nbrc-tower-wild-blue bookshelf.

BTW, love the color-coded spreadsheet and the links. Thanks.

I can't find it either, so I'll PM her about it (the captains all updated the spreadsheet with their own stuff so I'm not sure what's going on there). For the sake of your sanity + timeliness, I'll delete that title from this challenge. We should still be more than ok without it in all the necessary categories.

PS: You're welcome, and thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to obsessively compulsively color code something. I appreciate you enabling me :)

I'm pretty sure I had "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" mixed in with the real title of that book! Sorry!

That's fine. Gave me a giggle.
