Marta Unfortunately, the female author is also a cooperative one. We need to read two books, as a group, to get credit for it. Since it's not a starred item it cannot be combined with anything else so it has to be a book by another member that they've not claimed for something already. You do get a guess for being the person to complete our reading rainbow though! :D If there is another category that your book fits let me know. The rainbow task overlaps so you could still get another guess.Jennifer: A1=Miss; J8=Miss
J: B2=Miss; A3=Miss; B4=Miss; E1=Miss; E3=Miss; F4=Miss; G3=Miss; J4=Miss
Sarah: J7=Miss
Another guess earned for J. Melanie, your game tracker was updated.
I'm 20 weeks along. Thanks again all of you for the well wishes. I'm feeling a little better today. Now that I've updated this I'm going to drink my tea and rest a little more. Just one ship left! We can do it! Go team Turtle!
Happy to hear you've feeling better, Emm! I would like to use two of my guesses, on J1 and A8.
I completed today's Stranger Things Book Tag thread.
I put my guesses in message 241:F2, A8.
Also, I will assign Naked in Death to female author. and I have completed all the games so far.
Oh I looked at the board thing we have and A8 wasn't crossed off, but then I will make another guess once the board is updated.
I posted in the Stranger Things book tag as well
Glad your felling better Emm. I myself and 9 weeks along and suffering with severe nausea all the dang time. That 2 spot ship is always the hardest to get, lol. Hopefully we can get it before the end of the read a thon.
Im glad you're feeling better Emm, make sure you rest up when you need to.
I finished The Boy in the Striped Pajamaswhich can be used for
-Read a Book with an Article in the Title (a, an, the)
- Read a Book with a Long Title (6+words)
- Read a Historical or Historical Fiction Book-
-Read a Book with a Child Main Character or
-Finish a Book with an Average GR Rating of Between 4 and 4.3 (4.03)
whichever best helps the team.

I finished it in one sitting
Read SundanceThat's the third book I've finished. It's set more than 100 years ago, has a one-word title, and I read it in one sitting.
Finished Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions -this can be used for the 2016 Goodreads Choice Awards. It is also my last book for the ATY challenge - it is now completed, finito, done. Yay!This adds 48 pages. Total 477 pages. I am really slow this week.
Finished Cinder. We can put it in science fiction/fantasy or series
Marta, I am 58% through The Awakening by L.J. Smith (female author) if you want to wait a little and buddy up for this task.I should be finished by this evening (12.46pm here so plenty of reading time left in the day.)
Melanie wrote: "Marta, I am 58% through The Awakening by L.J. Smith (female author) if you want to wait a little and buddy up for this task.I should be finished by this evening (12...."
Oh ok! I am totally confused, lol. So we need to submit two together and it counts? If so, let's do it!
Yes two different people have to submit a book written by a female author to fulfil that task.If you haven't already assigned it to another task we can buddy up if you wish.

I have not. Let's buddy!
SamZ - Ack! Sorry I missed you. F2-Miss; A8-Miss. You get a guess for Cinder.Ed - You get a guess for Striped Pajamas! And one for reading three books. :D
Marta - Sorry, I'm probably not explaining myself well because I'm in a fog. The tasks are repeatable but some of them are cooperative and require more than one book to be read in order for us to get the guess. We need "2 Books by a Female Author (1 per Member)" to get the guess. But I see you have already figured that out... sorry if I was a bit confusing. :D
You can actually count your last book, We Should All Be Feminists, towards female author and still get a guess for reading it in one sitting since that task is an overlapping task. I've added another guess for you! :D You also get a guess for Algorithms to Live By.
A7-Miss; J2-Miss; F8-Miss
Jennifer - Congrats on your little one to be! Fortunately, I'm not having any nausea or vomiting any more. I hope it clears up for you too!
Lois - You get a guess for Sundance.
Games updated. At least I think I got them all. ;)

Sundance?
If I have three guesses, I'll go with J9, B8 & C8
Bah, sorry Ed! Sundance was Lois' read. She gets that guess. But you have two guesses. Which would you like to use?

I have just finished The Awakening by L.J. Smith bringing my finished books up to 3 now.Marta and I are buddying up for the Female author task. If that includes a guess, Marta can guess.
Ive answered the 'My Life in Books Book Tag.'
Ive answered the 'My Life in Books Book Tag too.
^I'm caught up on the tags through today (had to go back and post in the book covers one as I played but didn't post the day it happened). Two to go!
I guessed J1 in a previous comment, Emm, I think you missed that one.
Although now I see that can't be a hit, can I change it and guess something else?
Read The Sundance Kid: The Life of Harry Alonzo Longabaugh. That's a book with an article in the title, and it's not published by one of the main five publishers.

Thank you! :)
I'm going to use two of my guesses, on D4 and H8. Hopefully no one has guessed it, it's not on the board at least. It's almost ten PM here in Sweden, maybe we should use some of Emm's guesses soon?
Completed My life in books game. It was hard to come up with the answers for a couple of those, lol.
Hopefully we can get that last little ship. Please let one of the last guesses be a hit, lol
Emm, I completed quiz 3, but I don't see it crossed off on the list.
By my count (considering only the shots placed on the map) we can identify the last ship in 13 shots. That's how many it would take to eliminate all 2 position spaces. We have 13 pending (unused) shots (including those which haven't been added to the map).
Trying to update these now. Thank you guys for being patient. My cold went from my head to my chest and I'm feeling terrible again. :( Mimmi, you can change your guess.
Finished the Stranger Things and My Life in Books quizzes.
Ugh, that's horrible Emm. I hope it clears up quickly for you. It's already hard enough to breath being prego when your farther along, then adding a chest cold to it makes it a lot worse.
Finished The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories which can be put under the category of: A book with a color in the title.
SamZ - E2 is a miss.Lois - You get another guess. I10-Miss
Mimmi - D4 is a miss. H8 is a miss. A very, very close miss.
Marta - I8-Hit; J9-Miss. Hit! Hit! Hit! Woohoo! :D And another guess earned for the female author task.
Did I get everyone's guesses?
You can continue guessing tomorrow. We just need to earn the guesses before the end of the night. The exception, of course, will be the game guesses. Not everyone will be able to complete those tonight since they're posted late. If you complete them tomorrow you'll get those guesses. I don't think we're going to need those though ... we've got a hit at I8. :D
Feel free to use my guesses and blow that ship out of the water!
Finished The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. That's a book I started before the read-a-thon.
