Just finalized the spreadsheet for Banana Mania!

We read 51 out of our 54 book goal, which puts us in the 8.33% range! :)

ETA: The link would help, huh? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...

[Steven]

Ugh, I had a few days where my tags were going wonky and I thought I had fixed them all :(

Fixed now though, thanks!

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Basilinna Banana, do you want to use any regular cupcakes or "blinkies" to reach 54?

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

I see them now, Steven.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Mango Tango, it looks like Lisa (Aussie Girl) 'tagged'/read on August 6th, though she added to her shelves September 3rd. Please have her change, if incorrect.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Mango Tango, still checking, but Nicole's book has NOT been 'tagged' with her tower-teams-challenge bookshelf.

[Steven]

Well, aren't we just a ball of messes! My apologies :(

Blast Off Bronze

We are going to use two "blinkies" (on a "chunkster" of Mandy's book, ) to bring us up to 65 books = 8.33% goal for 7 BAPs.

"A Book a Day Challenge -- Post #6 = 43 books (with "blinkie")
Author Alphabet Reading Challenge A-Z -- Post #7 = 13 books

I've fixed it now, the correct finished date was Sept 6th, just a slip of the posting finger. Sorry.

Atomic Tangerine - Adjusted (Claire is away from computer for now.)

Claire = 		18
Cathie = 		14
Robin = 		19
Kme_17 = 		27
Added books
 w/"blinkies" = 	07

Total: 85 = 9.9% = 9 BAPs

Claire, I only see 18 books for you, NOT 20. (Roadcraft: The Essential Police Driver's Handbook was repeated. And I just can't find another book and I've gone over your thread four times.)

Cathie read 14 books in September, but you only slotted 12; I took the liberty of assigning them:

Day #8 - Character predicts the future (visions, tarot cards)
              (Mrs. Spink and Forcible reads tea leaves)
Coraline, by Neil Gaiman [Cathie read 9/13]


Day #2 - partnership/twosome
The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared, by Alice Ozma

Using "chunksters" and "Triple Threats," I used thirteen (13) "blinkies" for seven books to bring the total up to 85 books = 9.9% = 9 BAPs.

First, I moved this one to allow room for another to have two.

Day #6 mother
Caroline's Child, by Debbie Macomber [♥Robin♥ Read 9/29]


Day #2 second chances
Life After Life, by Kate Atkinson [♥Robin♥ Read 9/30]


Day #8 - Magical book See below-Professions for other "blinkie"
The Dovekeepers, by Alice Hoffman [Cathie Read 9/30]


Day #9 - post-apocalyptic future
Day #9 - name of a film set in a post-apocalyptic future
The Passage, by Justin Cronin [Cathie Read 9/12]

historian
writer
At Home: A Short History of Private Life, by Bill Bryson [Kme_17 Read 9/20]


dovekeeper
The Dovekeepers, by Alice Hoffman [Cathie Read 9/30]


Day #21 - character is an ex-alcoholic or overcome some addiction
Déjà Dead, by Kathy Reichs [Claire 9/22]


Takeover Challenge

Which books are you adding "blinkies" to, Basilinna Banana? I cannot tell from the spreadsheet (of course, I'm tired...) or in the thread.

If you are using it on a "chunkster" or "TT," you have to use one by the book to count once, and one to count for the higher count. (ie. two for a "chunkster" and three for a "TT")

I added a column for them on the "Final List" sheet.

I'm confused by the last part - I have to use two blinking cupcakes per book?

I used them on The Night Circus, Guilty as Sin and Nineteen Minutes.

Thanks! But our photo isn't mango-colored, and I was waiting to see what you'd find to fit :)

Okay, all "chunksters" then. If you are using a “blinkie” for a novel < 160 pages, but fits the criteria, you only use one. If, however, you are using it for a “chunkster,” “TT,” or “Cutthroat,” you are then you use 2, 3 or 4 respectively.

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)
S. -

I know Joanne♥ of Tickle Me Pink has been ill.

Tickle Me Pink

Joanne, is read, but NOT ‘tagged’ on your nbc-tower-team-2 bookshelf.

Eni, is read but NOT ‘tagged’ on your tower-teams-tickle-me-pink bookshelf.

Since you were unsure where to place this book, I considered it here:

My apologies! The ones I noticed were all coordinated to the color of team, I must have not seen those. But thanks for the cool info about mangoes :)

[Lisa Kay]

No need to apologize, Barb. It is all good. I did start to pick up the color theme with Electric Lime.

One more for the road, since I love Sophia...
