0/Z - 1
1/O - 5
2/T - 5
3/H - 6
4/F - 5
5/I - 7
6/S - 3
7/V - 3
8/E - 6
9/N - 5
SKIP - 4
REVERSE - 1
WILDS - 5

We only have two colored cards left....both Yellow 6. I should have one completed by the end of the day and I do have the other one at home but if someone else reads one that will fit we will definitely use it.

Great job everyone!!

[VNerdbooks]

[Jennifer]

Haha yes that is the only thing about playing team games, the TBR gets bigger and bigger

So I just read today (because I'm late getting it back to the library... oops). I'm not sure if it can count though. It is 204 pages but I can't find it on the arbookfind.com. I did however find it on another site but just am not 100% sure that it will count. If it does I'm not too sure it will fit with any cards either lol. http://www.readinglength.com/book/isb...

www.readinglength.com says it has a wordcount over 64,000 si I'd say it counts, but I think the chief should decide=)

I think it definitely counts because it meets both requirements of over 100 pages and over 25,000 words. I used it for a SKIP card.

[Jennifer]

I finished so now there is only one colored card left....a Yellow 6 which I do have a book for but I can honestly say I'm not terribly excited to read it *sigh*

I had a lot of short books which makes it easier to knock a bunch out.

I don't think I have anyhing counting as yellow lying around=(

[Jennifer]

Looking at it again I think I may actually enjoy it. I'm going to start it this weekend so I have some time to get through it in case I don't like it.

[K~Terror]

What are you reading for your yellow, missy?

Good luck with that! I'm finding I'm allergic to nonfiction for the most part...

[Jennifer]

LOL!! I actually go in spurts with nonfiction but I am not currently in a "spurt"....maybe that book will start a new one....

Going to a dental gathering the next two days, so not sure how much reading I'll be able to do.

[Jennifer]

Hopefully your dental gatherings are more fun than conferences I have to attend...normally I end up drinking waaay more coffee than I should in an attempt to stay awake!!

[Silje]

Always too much coffee. I have learned to bring my knitting, that way I don't fall asleep during lectures =P

[Jennifer]

I finished and used it for a 1. We were supposed to be going out of town for the weekend but we have a blizzard moving in so we decided to stay home and I'm pretty excited to cuddle up on the couch with my nonfiction book *sigh*

[VNerdbooks]

Lol you enjoy that one

This book really frustrated me! But I guess the author's debut book got great reviews so I may try that one before I boycott her.

[Jennifer]

Which one frustrated you?

They should be announcing the mini-challenge sometime today. It should be interesting.

was frustrating! The MC was such a pawn. I wanted to smack her. Ugh!

Any word on a mini? WooHoo!

[Jennifer]

That does get frustrating! I've had to put books down and walk away for a break from the nonsense before.

[K~Terror]

It's one of those books when someone is trying to make you look crazy - and even though she knew this, she acted like a nutter anyway.

Post for Mini challenge is up! March Mini-challenge

[VNerdbooks]

wow, I had to read that a few times lol

[Silje]

I know I will read a book or two from the Kate Daniels-series this month, so I can use those for part 1 (author of team names) and 3 (name in book from team names). I've already read the first one though, so part 2 doesn't work. However, I have the first Harry Dresden book if nobody else have a book they plan to read that fit part 2.

[Silje]

Yep, I still have to doublecheck that I understand it correctly:P

[VNerdbooks]

Im reading the Crucifix Killer at the miment which us the Robert Hunter series, and i know im going to read book 2 next so i'll hold fire for a couple of days

[Jennifer]

I've had A Man Called Ove on my end table book pile for awhile so I can read that one for #2.

[Jennifer]

I think this mini-challenge would be another good one where we "claim" tasks so we don't accidentally double up. What do you guys think?

Sounds good to me=)

[Silje]

For the Scrabble-part, should we make words first and then find books for the letters or read planned books, see what letters they fit and make words from there?

[Jennifer]

I also have a Jojo Moyes book for Part One.

I'm torn on the scrabble part. I almost feel like we should do words first so we can focus on completing them because we will only get credit for one unfinished word at the end. But I'm willing to do either.

[Silje]

In that case should we try for 7 letter words since they give more bonus points? It's not too many vowels, mostly just E-s, and some of the more basic consonants are missing:P Anybody creative with words?

[Silje]

I could probably get hold of a book from Sophie Kinsella or J.D. Robb at the library, but I don't have any at the moment.

[K~Terror]

I'm almost done with an "E" book now


I will go read up on the mini challenge now... :)

-- Nevermind! Books have to be started on/after the 15th.

This might help you all with the Scrabble part
