OK, now I am confused. I thought we rolled only as many times as the total count of letters in the title.


message 6: by Karen (new)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) You're probably right Bea, I'm easily confused. I'll have to go back and check the rules.


message 7: by Karen (new)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) I did get it wrong but it is easily fixed, I can add the series name and book number

:) Nice save.

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Goodreads won't come up with the link that has the series name and number so I'm just going to have to change my goal book and go with the letters that I had in post three plus the two I had got in a trade with the broker.

Moral of the story, read the rules properly and get Bea to check that I'm doing it right :-)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Hopefully I've got it right this time. My title has twenty six letters so that is twenty six rolls, I've already rolled fourteen times so I have twelve rolls left.

After twelve rolls I now have the following letters as well

w, s, s, s, r, e, x, the, a, b, l, in

Wow, Karen... 24 books!!! Are you going to finish by end of year? assuming you'll be going for main prize? :)


message 14: by Karen (new)

Karen (karenofthebookworm) Would be nice to win but I just like to challenge myself. I am off for two weeks later this month so should get a few read then. :-)
