Snarling Sabertooths

I'm going to do a 2 word book.
That sounds really lovely, Rosina! I only went fishing once in my life but it was quite the experience hehe.
Awesome, Tamika! Keep them coming :-))

Should have gone to bed earlier, my brain was obviously already asleep before me last night ;)


Since I'm nosy :-) any books not used this round but banked can only be used as primary for the next round since bonuses can only be completed after the primary books are completed.
May I have your attention please?
Tomorrow we can make our next 10 guesses.
Alexandria already suggested E2 (as E1 and E3 have been hits) and I'd suggest guessing E4 as well. It looks likely that both of those are hits.
Continuing along the same lines, I'd assume that F7 and F9 could be hits as well as F8 has been a hit.
Which 10 squares do you think we should guess? FIRE AWAY!
(EDA: The board is on the first page of this thread, indicating hits and misses.)

I won't get a good look at the board until Tuesday so your guess will be better than any of mine tomorrow!
Thanks!!!


That's right... forgot about that. Well, since it's not a big book, I guess we should only use it if we have nothing else for any new primary task.
Sounds good! And sounds like we're all on the same page as well.
V and I will take care of inputting new guesses tomorrow morning once we're up and running. That way everyone else will have the new tasks ready to go when they wake up :-)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The (co)captains have been informed of the following:
▲ Because of the nature of Olympic Games ABSOLUTELY NO unfinished books from during Battleship will be accepted. All books for Olympic Games must be STARTED on or after July 2nd (start date subject to change, start times equal that of Wobble event start ~ 11am London time)
So please bear this in mind once we get towards the end of Battleship. This will be repeated once we near the end of Battleship and the rules for the next challenge will go up but this way the planners amongst you can already take this into consideration.

Darn...that is one longggggg audio....up in the air about rating..Some parts were super boring, but the good parts were super good, I just went with a 3.5


I'll check in to see if Jessica has finished her sci-fi before I read the last couple of chapters just in case, if I even get that far tonight... I'm pretty tired.

If Eldarwen were a cupcake, what type of cupcake would she be?
Post Your Answer Here


I think you should go for the hits.

I have the YA downloaded but should be able to get wifi tonight to download the others. The Shining is a long one for Fantasy... The other 2 are 300-400 ish

Hope you are still having fun, when do you come home?

Just remember to hold off on the last couple chapters until the 2 primary readers are done...

Look at you go ST! I loooooved Court of Mist & Fury!!
(V doesn't know what she's missing... Lol!)
We are heading home Tuesday morning. It's been a great week but will be glad to get back to normal schedule again (reading!!!). Ha!

Fantasy is now open for bonus books as both primary books are done.
Also, new tasks will be given out today, once the mods have cleared the spreadsheet (the pm with the guesses has gone out, just waiting on the ok). So you could also pick a book for one of the new hits that we will hopefully get.

Thanks Steph!"
Give me a biiiiiit more time though :-)
It has been decided that captains need to pm guesses to the mods first before the spreadsheet is cleared up to enter the guesses.

Bonus books give you 1+ per book as well as the page numbers.
Miss books only give you the points for the page numbers.
So bonus books are definitely a good way to go :-)
The only thing we need to remember is that we NEED both books read for whichever square we start otherwise we will get no points for that square.
(We don't have to worry about primary books anymore as everyone has read or is currently reading for a primary task.)

Going in Psy Changeling #1 which works for Fantasy and Sci Fi whoop
Hey Snowtulip!
Want to read
for D3 or F3?
I'm still slacking my way through A Court of Mist and Fury buuuut I'm getting there hehe.
Since they'd both be primary books, I can alternate between the two - which makes my reading life at work easier since ACoMaF is a little fat to easily hide behind my screen haha.
