Or I could wait until the 15th like I'm supposed to, lol.
For part 2 I'm going to read Ove- A Man Called Ove
Part 1, I have J.D Robbs Immortal in Death lined up to read for this month so that works
Completion PostBook:
Date Read: 3/12
1- first book in series
6- name of character is Shastri
9- name of character is Nritti
Skip- name of character is Kamala
For Part 1, I think I may read a J.K. Rowling book. It may just finally give me the incentive to finish the Harry Potter series. (I've taken long enough.)
Here are some books that I could think up on the spot for Part 3:Will Traynor: Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Rose Hathaway: Vampire Academy
Augustus Waters: The Darkest Part of the Forest
Mercy Thompson: A Game of Thrones
Ty & Zane: Me & Earl & the Dying Girl
Not sure if that helped, but I hope it did!
Augustus Waters: The Darkest Part of the ForestOh, I've been eyeballing that one for a while! I might have to read it!
I checked out a few books from the library that will work for various parts. Now, I just need to make them fit in other challenges :P

7 letter words I've found.... Aplombs, aereola, boaters, earlobe, maestro, betrays, temples, tersely, trample, tempera, players, krypton, mentors, monster, plowmen, snorkel, workmen, mortals, tampons, antlers, wankers, sparkle, lobster
I had better luck with this site for the scrabble part. There were a tonne more words listed when I was plugging in the letters, those are just the ones I liked, lol. http://scrabblewordfinder.org
Thank you, Jennifer! That site was very helpful! I've spent hours trying to come up with a combination of words that uses all the letters and I'm ready to pull my hair out, lol. I came up with something that only leaves 2 letters unused. I don't even know that we could get all the words because that's a lot of books but I wanted to try and give us the opportunity. I can't do anymore though, my brain is fried!Here's what I came up with...
7 Letter words
Brambly
Krypton
Webster
Jennets
Hyphens
6 Letter word
Myrrhs
5 letter word
Nerds
If anyone wants to try their hand at the combos, please feel free! Otherwise, how does that look to you guys?
Dang it! I'm not going to be able to sleep until I solve this puzzle!

Any thoughts on the Scrabble part? I made a list we can use or if someone else wants to come up with something...?https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Not going to lie, what is it I need to exactly do, LOL besides read the directions again ;-)
Hahaha! Read books!For the Scrabble part, it's a spell out. I came up with a list from the letters that we could use. It's the same rules as UNO plus we can use series names.
Do you need a refresher of the other things too?

1 - #1 in series

8 - MC name Ethan
Reverse - read by Aricia, Nichole, Carrie
@ Nichole so should we maybe start with a specific word or words? Do we have a game plan?
The quick rundown!Part One- Team Authors (75 points)
Read FIVE books by an author of one of the team names for 15 points each
Note: Individual team member can only read each author once. It is ok if more than one team member read the same author.
Part Two- Team Books (30 Points)
This has already been claimed by Abbie and Carrie. Whoever finishes first will take that spot and we can use the other for Part 1 or 3. Win-Win!
Part Three- Team Characters: Scavenger Hunt (50 points)
Scavenger hunt character names in books. Find the FIRST name of one of the characters from our team names for 5 points each. One name per book. Each name must be different (i.e. 10 different names need to be 'hunted').
☘️You will get a 15 point bonus if your team complete all tasks for part 1-3
Part Four: Scrabble
Create a word using the first and last letter of the team names - which words you use is up to the team - but they must be at least 4 letters long.
Read one book per letter of that word for 5 points per letter.
- 4p bonus for completed words with 7 or more letters
- 2p bonus for completed words with 6 letters
You can only get points for one partially finished word, i.e. if you by the end of the month have more than 1 incomplete words, you will only get 5p/book for the first word.
I made a list of words using all letters except 2. That was the best I could do. Someone else might be able to do better but I spent hours on it and I'm done, lol. We get bonus points for 6, 7 letter words.
Here's what I came up with...
7 Letter words
Brambly
Krypton
Webster
Jennets
Hyphens
6 Letter word
Myrrhs
5 letter word
Nerds
For more details, I included more information on the Mini Challenge Posts. I broke it down into 4 parts.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
As far as what word to start with, I'll just try to fill in from highest to lowest (7 letter words first).
Clear as mud?
Got it, but do we want to pick a certain word to aim to spell out first? I can definitely do something for the very first part :-)
Umm... sure! Which one do you want to start with? Lol!
I have no idea ;-) maybe a longer word?
Can we use books from parts 1-3 for the scrabble part?
Nope, it's all separate. Yes, we should definitely start with a 7 letter word. How about we wait and see what comes up and go from there, lol.
You're in charge, so whatever works for you :-)
Nope, executive decision. Well, maybe :)Let's start with HYPHEN. It has more options :)
Fine with me. After I finish my first two book I will see where we are with the spelling and jump in.

TGIF I have several books to post today, I have been slacking in the posting department :-) sorry about thatI was wondering if it would be easier if I just grabbed a seven letter word to spell out with my books? I think I started all of them after March 15 that way you don't need to search for weird letters? If not, no worries, it was just a thought

Sure, if you want to that's fine with me. Just let me know which word you want to use and I'll fill in the others from everyone else.
How about I do the word tampons, I have letters in all these books that I'm about to post that will work, I'll post the letter for that at the end :-)
