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


message 10: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments Okay guys. We are going with #12 for our first game. It will be fun no matter what.

Jessica Chen (lattez) 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.


message 14: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments Hi everyone, I chose #12. So when midnight hits you can start the game

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Hi Jessica! I'm excited for this challenge. I really enjoyed it last year.


message 17: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 859 comments 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?


message 19: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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.


message 20: by Ashley (last edited Aug 02, 2016 06:29PM) (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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.


message 21: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments We got a bonus letter! Should we go for E?


message 22: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Sure!


message 23: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Damn, that didn't help us too much. Might be able to get it with the next guess though.


message 24: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I am finishing my book called 3 AM Kisses (3 AM Kisses, #1) by Addison Moore . I can use the A, K, or M


message 25: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments A or M would be helpful. K isn't too common. Your choice, though!


message 26: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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?


message 27: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments sure


message 28: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments we should discuss the letter here and the reviews we want to hold onto as well.


message 29: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments I should have my review for Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle, #1) by Jay Kristoff 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.


message 30: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments You add your letters I will save the A for later. I'm still reading my book. I have like 2 chapters left.


message 31: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Alright, great. I'll get started on my review.


message 32: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments 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.


message 34: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments 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.


message 35: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Okay great! Are you able to do the thread?


message 36: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I will do it soon.


message 37: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Okay thanks :)


message 38: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I just added my A after she added your letters. Hopefully we get more help with A present.


message 39: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I asked it for today. So it should be available on the buddy read list.


message 40: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Wait I think I got it.


message 41: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments Sharon wrote: "I asked it for today. So it should be available on the buddy read list."

Alright :)


message 42: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I just deleted my post because you posted at the same time as me. I will save it.


message 43: by Ashley (last edited Aug 04, 2016 01:43AM) (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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!


message 44: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments It's probably high time I went to sleep now haha.


message 45: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I hope so. The 4 points will really help us out. Also, if we get more and more BRs, that might help as well.


message 46: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments Alright. I'll add my review if it is correct.


message 47: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 859 comments 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?


message 48: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 859 comments Also - is anyone working on any of the other challenges? I'm stumped for the daily challenge


message 49: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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.


message 50: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (xanthax) | 2485 comments 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.
