This Karen R book is really close. I'm on the fence if it's 50% green. White, yes. Green, hmmm? Give me a minute

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Ok. It's green enough

Thanks! It's a teammates choice for this week.

[Vi]

Is green enough?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Vi wrote: "Is green enough?"

Sorry Vi, this isn't 50% and I looked at the other editions, they are blue:(
I hope you have other choices, if you don't have another book, let me know.
I will get another opinion from a mod

[Vi]

That's ok.. I'm just scrambling last minute due to some confusion with my library books. How about ? It has an alternate cover that might work.. depends on your definition of green though.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yea. This one definitely works

[JoAnne]

Our team is struggling this week. - "Seven Wonders of the Reading World" (2)
Reread the rules and saw:

Per rules just reread

**VERY IMPORTANT**
A team can NOT advance if all reviews are not in by the deadline. That being said, players need to have their reviews in latest by Friday. Technically, a review isn't late until after Friday 11:59p. But your team captain cannot roll until ALL of the team reviews have been posted.

❖If a player fails to have their book done two times throughout the game (excluding a prearranged absence) they will no longer be a part of the team.

Can Krystal be the prearranged absence if someone else needs the free pass? She told us immediately that she could not read and review a book this week since he life was more than hectic.
We had told her she had to come first and to skip this week. We'd use the free pass.

Several other teammates seem to be struggling. Green was a hard cover color it seems.

Let us know how we should proceed or if we skip next week if reviews are not all in.

[Katherine]

I want yo ask.
If our team used free pass. Do i need to write it in final post???

Hi Ezi -

Questions about books on a list...do I have to read the same book that shows up on the list or can I read a book from the same series? Meaning, book #2 shows up on the list...can I read #5 if that's the one that I have?

Or are we allowed to add books to the list or have friends add them if they fit the list?

I'm sort of on a roll with a series and don't want to stop but it's a #14 series and we're WAY past that number! Hahaha!

[Nichole]

Excellent question! I was wondering the same thing.

1. Yes. You can read book #5 if #2 is on the list
2. Yes, if it fits a list, just add it.

[D.G.]

Excellent! Thanks!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

WE ARE CLOSING IN ON 100
It's likely that this challenge will be done in the next two weeks. Just remember no FREE passes on a winning roll :D

[Shannon]

Ezi, would this qualify for the 3+ colors?

[Kayla]

Question from a member of my team:
Does anyone know the rules on reading an advance copy of a book? It's due to come out April 5 and I've received a final copy from the publicist. It's a standalone that I'd like to read next, but I don't know if we are allowed to read advance copies (but I repeat, it is a final hardback copy, not an uncorrected proof)

The book is

The Girl From Home

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Kayla
Arcs are ok to read

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes of course Shannon, blue, black, white, tan etc

[Mandy]

To win do you just have to land on 100 or is there a after 100 board like before?

*list not finished. I am still checking other threads in between feeding my kids breakfast!

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Looks like it will be a race to finish books :D

[Stacey]

Ezi, Last Page at Midnight is missing a review. We are clearly not going to win (we are currently sitting at spot 67) and we would hate to not get to finish the challenge since this will most likely be the last week. Is there any way we can go ahead and roll so the rest of us can finish the challenge out? We have already used our free pass. :(

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes Stacey!!! Of course.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

[Krystal]

Will there be a round 8? This was so fun!

[Katherine]

Or if there be another challenge? Something similar to Grimm?

[Krystal]

Katherine wrote: "Or if there be another challenge? Something similar to Grimm?"

Can you explain? Sounds interesting

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Yes. There will be once we get our timing straight.

Grimm challenge was a fairytale retelling challenge where we read from various retelling tropes for points. I'm on phone and will get a link when I get to work
