Hi everyone!

[Ashley]

Hey guys! Together again, Sharon! :)

[Sharon]

Hey Ashley! Yep, third time in a row. What number are you thinking?

[Ashley]

I was thinking maybe 12? I don't mind though.

[Sharon]

sure I'll check and see if 12 is still availablr

[Sharon]

the faster we pick a number the faster we can start the game on the first

[Sharon]

12 is still available. I can request it if you guys don't mind.

[Ashley]

That's true. We might as well, then, if the others are okay with it.

[Sharon]

Okay guys. We are going with #12 for our first game. It will be fun no matter what.

[Victoria]

Hi! I'm here! I totally spaced sorry guys!

[Ashley]

Hey Victoria! No problem :)

[Jessica]

Sorry! I'm here too, for a moment there I didn't know if I was the correct Jessica since there's more than one who signed up.

[Sharon]

Hi everyone, I chose #12. So when midnight hits you can start the game

[Ashley]

Hi Jessica! I'm excited for this challenge. I really enjoyed it last year.

[Victoria]

Awesome! Hey everyone! I'll make a list and plan out according to the planned BRs and set it up in case anyone has any overlapping books. How do we know what word/phrase/title we have to guess?

[Jessica]

[Ashley]

I should be done my first book tomorrow. I would've tried for tonight but it's super long (9k kindle locations) and really boring so I'll probably fall asleep if I try anyway. That'll give us an N/J/K (probably N) and it's a buddy so I can guess a vowel as well.

[Ashley]

E T A O I N S R H L D C U M F P G W Y B V K X J Q Z

This is letter frequency in order (E being most common in English, Z being least common). Might be helpful in making guesses. Some websites have slight variations but the same letters are generally in the same areas regardless.

[Sharon]

We got a bonus letter! Should we go for E?

[Ashley]

Sure!

[Ashley]

Damn, that didn't help us too much. Might be able to get it with the next guess though.

[Sharon]

I am finishing my book called . I can use the A, K, or M

[Ashley]

A or M would be helpful. K isn't too common. Your choice, though!

[Ashley]

Would you guys agree that we shouldn't double post reviews? What I mean is that if you guys would agree not to post more guesses until our previous guesses were added and we hunted for the title?

[Sharon]

sure

[Sharon]

we should discuss the letter here and the reviews we want to hold onto as well.

[Ashley]

I should have my review for done in 45 mins or so. I'm thinking N and then T as a bonus guess? If you get your review up first I'll hold on that though.

[Sharon]

You add your letters I will save the A for later. I'm still reading my book. I have like 2 chapters left.

[Ashley]

Alright, great. I'll get started on my review.

[Sharon]

I think it's best to do the buddy reads first because we get the extra guess. It helps us out more, and we will be able to solve the problems faster. I'll be throwing in my BRs soon. So more guesses.

Good point.

Are any of you three interested in reading Ender's Game? I started today but I'm not too far in. We could buddy read if anyone would like to.

[Sharon]

I was planning on re-reading that book because I want to watch the movie. I will join you if you want to start today.

[Ashley]

Okay great! Are you able to do the thread?

[Sharon]

I will do it soon.

[Ashley]

Okay thanks :)

[Sharon]

I just added my A after she added your letters. Hopefully we get more help with A present.

[Sharon]

I asked it for today. So it should be available on the buddy read list.

[Ashley]

Wait I think I got it.

Alright :)

[Sharon]

I just deleted my post because you posted at the same time as me. I will save it.

[Ashley]

Okay. I've been searching 1 word titles for a while when I thought I'd look for the author instead since that's all we have. Since then I've been scrolling through Jonathans with an author search hoping I would find a book that fits (Jonathan was the only name I could think of) and I almost yelled when I found one lol. Hopefully it's right!

[Ashley]

It's probably high time I went to sleep now haha.

[Sharon]

I hope so. The 4 points will really help us out. Also, if we get more and more BRs, that might help as well.

[Sharon]

Alright. I'll add my review if it is correct.

[Victoria]

Sorry! I've disappeared from the planet for the first few days - I had a busy week at work but I've started Nearly Gone and Signs of You. I'll most likely finish Signs of You today. I've also finished I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You but I'm waiting to request a BR thread so we could get the BR points.

What letters should I use for these?

[Victoria]

Also - is anyone working on any of the other challenges? I'm stumped for the daily challenge

[Ashley]

If you finish Signs of You today I'd recommend E if there are no vowels in the word when you post, or S if there are.

[Ashley]

And then for I'd Tell You I love You (etc) probably T but I would be good too if you'd like. I posted letter frequency a while ago so for bonus any common letter would be helpful, it doesn't matter too much.
