MMC Chat thread

[Brooke]

Connies back :) really need to step up my game now :)

[Jackie]

Ahahaha.☺️

[Jackie]

Really glad we got our boards. Do you guys think guessing a one word title is harder or easier than guessing a multi-word title?

[Tati]

I think it's harder, as you get less clues

[Edit~A]

I agree with Tati

[Maddie]

For our books, do we need to link to the edition we read, or can we link to the biggest page count? Because most of my books have previews in the back for the next book which I don't read, but they're included in the page counts and was wondering whether I can still count those.

You can always link the highest page edition (With the exception of Iphone editions.) :)

(Previews probably don't count.)

[Connie]

I have an hour and a half until midnight and I'm considering burning the midnight oil so I can get started, I read 70+ books last year and I have 65 books on my TBR shelf so I'm hoping to maybe decrease my TBR shelf dramatically!

Find the biggest page count on Goodreads and use that.

Do you mean you have 65 books on your TBR shelf for this month or overall?

[Connie]

On my physical shelf overall! My electronic one probably brings it up to like 700 lol

Haha ebooks definitely bring everyone's numbers up. Hope you can get through all of those.

[Tati]

Connie, you're planning on giving us mere mortals a chance, right?

(just kidding)

[Connie]

Seeing as I've only read one book since June, I'd say you have a pretty solid chance

[Tati]

How come you've only read one book? Major slump?

[Connie]

Sort of! I kind of lost motivation for everything :P like I legit have spent the past two months working and sleeping and doing not much of anything else, but I just came back from a trip to Holland and I'm suddenly feeling a lot better and motivated so I thought I'd sign up to the MMC to force myself to start reading again

[Connie]

2 minutes until the first here! I'm waiting just so I can start my first book! I'm off work tomorrow so I might just spend the whole day reading ;)

[Dr. Andy]

So glad I still have 5 hours to finish my last book for July!

[Connie]

It's 7 minutes past 12 and I'm already into my first book!

[Tati]

I've got nearly 4 hours to go

I still have 4 and 1/2 hours to go but I'm going to go by Goodreads time since I still need one more book for July. :/

[Dr. Andy]

That's a great idea bookbuyer. Lol I might need that time.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

:)

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

5 more hours to go ^.^ I can't wait to start on the challenges!

[Jackie]

I'd read another for July, but don't think I'd finish it in time.:/

[Brooke]

It's after midnight here, i'm starting :D Good luck everyone :D

GL! :D

Same to you.:)

[[deleted user]]

1 more hour here. :(

[Jackie]

I have to wait as well because I start and end on GR time for ease.

[Jackie]

Just put in my guess for the first non-reading clue.

[Connie]

Happy MMC day!

[Edit~A]

How is everyone doing? I bet you are all exciting!! Like me lol
Since the first one was really easy we can concentrate on reading today!! ☺️

[Connie]

I'm three books and one novella down! Hoping to get Harry Potter 7 finished within the hour :)

[Karen]

Sorry if this is a daft question - can books we read for MMC also count for page count?

[Connie]

They do indeed!

[Karen]

Connie wrote: "They do indeed!"

Thanks - I know it was a daft question, but I'm trying to sort out some holiday reading!
Fantastic effort so far today Connie. When do you sleep?

[Connie]

I didn't sleep very well last night actually :P I was only asleep for around three hours but today is my only day off work for a few days, so I had to make a dent today! Also thought I'd start while motivation was high!

[Brooke]

Day 1 of hangman, and i already want to drop out. How are some of you just guessing off of one letter :((((((((((((( i have read two books and guessed two letters,and i already want to cry. :( this is not good, not good at all.

[Connie]

It took me like 4 to get mine! Some are really hard, I actually ended up creeping Sarah's books and working it out lol

[Brooke]

Connie wrote: "It took me like 4 to get mine! Some are really hard, I actually ended up creeping Sarah's books and working it out lol"

Yah i went through mine and typed a bunch into the search box since i have a few guesses at the word, i just don't want to waste a bunch of books on one puzzle!

[Connie]

It sucks! If it's possible, try and get an E! E is the most commonly used letter in the English language, it'll be helpful! Even a quick 100 pager to get one?:)

[Dr. Andy]

Oh no, don't give up yet Brooke! I'm trying to read as fast as I can so I can guess some more letters lol.

We had a god like being on our team. Melanie has been getting them from one or two letters. I don't know how she does it but I'm grateful. We're on our 4th puzzle. :D

yah i see that on my update feed and it's extremely discouraging :(
i mean good for her, but ugh, i have been through like 200pgs of books and haven't even figured out any of the words :(

None of my books have an E for me to use, i'm at work now and just have the book i brought with me, and it's too big to finish on my 2 15min breaks. I have no vowels to use yet, but i have to get these BRs done or i'll fall behind. My team is down a member, waiting on another to check in, and the others aren't too chatty so idk what or if they're reading today. *sigh*

Yah, i'm at work for the night, so i can't get any reading done really. This will probably lead to some days where i don't sleep, haha. And here i was more worried about the Non reading, and it's hangman that's getting to me.
