You will notice that there is a books read thread for the team. Please post your read books in this thread. If the thread gets too nuts then we will look at using it.
Sorry for the change of mind Gillian - don't worry about reposting it.

Each member needs to read a book for a Primary Task
A Primary Task is one of the 2 books required for both Hits & Misses to call square complete.
What this means is:
--- Each team member must read at least ONE book during Battleship (2 weeks event)
------ This is not 1 book per guess chances (4)
------ This is not 1 book per week
------ This IS ONE book, for any ONE Primary Task during Battleship
--- Team members may not COMPLETE a book for a Bonus spot, if they have not Completed a book for a Primary spot
------ Team members may START books for Bonus spots but may not get the points for those books until they have Completed their Primary spot.

Hey everyone just checking in. Im 50% done with my book, Got just under 6 hours of reading left, trust me to pick a 600 pager for our hit task and you all cant start finishing your mystery books for bonuses until Im done. Gonna make a concerted effort to finish today, but it may be tomorrow. Reading WAY more than I usually do :)

F5 tasks have been completed. Bonus books can now be read if you like provided that you're done with at least 1 primary task.

Updated to here.Kathleen we'll have to hold off on getting points for your book as I've used Gillian and Karishma as the "tasks". When you finish a task book we can log F5 too :)

Awrytie. Lol I would have to find a faster read. Three Cups of Tea makes me yawn.
Time to think of your next move
Can everyone please select your next move.
The spreadsheet is on the first page of this thread as well as an awesome pic done by Kathleen.
We have 10 spots to pick for the release on the 20th. Priority will be given to Angeline and Kimberly as they have not had a guess yet. Three people will miss out on guessing this round but you'll get priority on the next guess.
✴ Angeline E5
✴ Kimberly
✴ Ashley H8
✴ Kathleen B9
✴ Nikk G6
✴ Ange F6
✴ Dee I4
✴ Elspeth C7
✴ Karishma
✴ Noa G2
✴ Rebecca
✴ Viji G5
✴ Gillian H5
B9 C7 E5 F6 G2 G5 G6 H5 H8 I4
My guess is G2. I'm taking longer than usual to get my books done, because I was swamped yesterday and barely read at all. Sorry! I'll be done with one of my books today, though. Maybe even both of them.

To celebrate their win, I am changing my profile picture to a Tapir for the next week. Well done team!
Now, back to your usual programming... ;)
Hey Rebecca the D3 was a submarine so that one has been sunk and as they are not putting the ships directly horizontally or vertically from each other wouldn't E3, D2 and D4 definitely be misses? Is that right Ashley?Can I please have F6
Ange wrote: "Hey Rebecca the D3 was a submarine so that one has been sunk and as they are not putting the ships directly horizontally or vertically from each other wouldn't E3 definitely be a miss? Is that righ..."I like your way of thinking Ange that eliminates a few squares :)
I choose G6 :-)
Hey Nikk see me post above I hunk this would be a miss
Rebecca - guess again :)Nikk's guess is fine as it can be diagonal
Yeah as per usual I posted then read the rest of the comments so went back and edited my original choice :-p
My Guess is G5.I just have a query:
In the Q & A section it was mentioned
"Can ships be oriented diagonally or only vertically and horizontally?
Ships are only vertical and horizontal.
Has this been changed to include 'diagonal'? As I was not sure of this, I guessed to fit the 'horizontal' placement of the hit F5.
I guess further Verticals to this hit could be F4, F3 and F7 and the horizontals could be E5, D5 and I5, J5.
Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
Viji, I understood the ships were not placed diagonally but only vertical or horizontal. A ship can be placed diagonally next to another ship ie ifA1 is a submarine another ship can be placed at B2
Angeline a sub could be hiding anywhere so at this stage anywhere is a good guess
Thanks Angeline.We have people who are working towards those tasks. I'm going to swap your books to
The Naughty List: C-9 - read a book with a title between 7 and 16 characters
Sword of Summer: D-3 - read a book shelved as mystery by at least 10 people (shelved 22 times)
We didn't have your shelf name before so you weren't set up on the spreadsheet - I'll let the mods know it can be done now
Book: Cinder by Derekica SnakeDate Read: 19 June 2016
Pages: 552
Task it fits: J-1 - read a book with a title with 6 or less letters
How it fits: "Cinder" = 6 letters
Hopefully, I will make good headway with my C3 book tonight. I spent 2 hours at the beach today, and the walk is 25 minutes down and 45 minutes back (because climbing up the cliff is a lot harder than going down) and I found myself wishing I had an audible book.
Oh and it's the 19th for me, but do we have to put the date read date down as for another time zone? (If that even matter)

Can you please add the date read to this book - otherwise the data won't import into the spreadsheet
Karishma wrote: "It's added, i just rechecked."Can you check that the start date is correct as it's saying the 15th and not importing. If it is the 15th it won't count for the challenge
Karishma wrote: "Let me log on to the Computer and check. I started it yesterday night and edited the start date but looks like the app is unreliable."Thanks - it might be the spreadsheet but just want to check everything before flagging it to the mods
Karishma wrote: "Ok i rechecked via the computet. Its showing as date started 18th and date ended 19th."Great - I can see that it's changed to the 18th now and loaded. Strange! Looks like logging in fixed it

I haven't read GoT, but I have watched seasons 1-4 each over 3 times. I've been with the show since episode one, season one. Everytime I tell myself to read the books, I'm either too close to a season (rewatching time), in a season, or in mourning for all the characters that have died/fearing for the lives ofy babies who still live.
