No. They just have to be finished by the end of the two weeks this challenge will take or they will not count for Battleship tasks.

Keep bringing that battleship wit!!
We will make a note of that :-) Because no, we haven't sunk any ships.

I'm sure I remember reading that there will never be a T or L either so that's handy to know.


They are Alexandria, the first one took me about 25% before I became hooked and then I couldn't stop!
Alexandria wrote: "I haven't even read the first one. I've heard they are really good though."
The first one is really good, yes. Takes a bit to get into the book and to take a liking to the main character, but definitely good.
Then again, I'm biased. I love Maas' writing :-) I already really enjoyed the Throne of Glass series.

That is a looooong audio o.O
That is a looooong audio o.O

That sounds good Karen, I've only read one book by Maya Banks...the first in her KGB series...those alpha males!


Ok, at least a few chapters!
The post I linked earlier (this one on the first page of the thread) shows the tasks, who can potentially read for which task.
I have bolded those names who have already stated that they're going to start with a book for a specific task just so we can make sure that every square has 2 books to cover the task.

I just don't want you to read it and then start cursing me out because it's a complete mind fuck.


Which book V?"
I know Tamika, it was free, so it sits waiting for someone else to love it ;)

Well y'all go ahead and read it.
Lol. I'll hold hands when you guys need it.



They aren't on audio, and for good reason. I wouldn't want to here that stuff in my ears.


Maybe I should start it tomorrow and give myself the full battleship time to read it in between audios..

Trying to think of books and watch that creepy sh*t American Horror Story, it's just getting weirder every week!!!!!

My 1st will be

MPG - Young Adult
I think I can do pretty much all of them except F2 and E9

I'll probably start with my 3rd in a series book then since all "hits" have 2 people starting there and my book is Fallout by Ellen Hopkins and is like 650 pages. I'm hoping to download it tonight when I have wifi so will be ready to rock n roll tomorrow.

*goes off to check*
Yeah I'll probably change it again lol

That is a looooong audi..."
Yes it is, I downloaded it 2 days ago when I got the loan, But I am trying to finish up The Half Blood Prince, which I am hoping to finish tonight, so I can start fresh in the morning for Wobble.
We do have 7 days to complete right? I am guessing it should take 4 to 5 days for me.
8hours of work
1hour of lunch
1hour commute in morning
1.25-commute in eventing
....so at least 11 plus hours a day.
That is not counting my ironing in the morning, or my shower at night...(which I only do if my husband is not home, cause he makes fun of me for it), and sometimes I will listen while cooking...especially for challenges like this, with a time frame.

*Are we playing against one team or all teams? Meaning for Battleship, it could be any teams boats we are sinking.
*Can we bank books? If I read say, Sally Buys An Elephant, which doesn't work for a task now, can we save it for another task later on?

Bath time is at least an hour and a half as I keep topping the water up !!

I'm sure if you don't finish a book for battleships but do finish it in the next challenge then that would count, but you obviously wouldn't get points in this game..........BUT I need to double check that so don't take it as gospel.

I know it's all a bit confusing at first, but the best is to not overthink things.
