I have a Sophie kinsella audio for Part 1

[Jennifer]

And I agree we should try to do seven letter words because of the higher bonus

[Jennifer]

So I've got two audiobooks and one real book planned. I need to find at least another real book and a few ebooks.

[VNerdbooks]

ok so we are looking to make 7 letter words or more from the scrabble letters provided yes?
I'll see what I can do

[K~Terror]

Part I, I can do:

1) Eve Dallas
| by JD Robb
2) Jack Torrence:
| by Stephen King

Part III, I found books in my TBR for: Becky, Augustus, Kate, Robert, Billie, Jack, Eve, Elizabeth, Mark, Rachel, Ron and/or Ty

YAY! I haven't looked at that part yet...

Great! Kate and Robert are already covered, free choice on the rest!

[Jennifer]

Perfect because Part 3 I was really struggling with.

[Jennifer]

I have One Plus One by Moyes and Can You Keep a Secret by Kinsella. I don't have access to a computer on weekends otherwise I would just enter them.

[VNerdbooks]

ooh I'm sure I have the new Ty & Zane book somewhere so I can do that

[K~Terror]

Silje wrote: "Great! Kate and Robert are already covered, free choice on the rest!.."

Awesome!!! OK, I'll start with claiming these since they are my most excited and shortest reads for Part III & then I'll see what's still available later:
---------------------------------------------------
Rachel --> Dead Wrong by Helen H. Durrant
Mark --> He's Gone by Deb Caletti
Eve --> The Widower's Wife by Cate Holahan

[K~Terror]

Feel free to bump any of mine from Part I if you need a spot for someone else!

Oooh! Thanks Nichole ~ I'll have to check this out!

Countdown to mini-challenge starts Here

[Silje]

Finished Gunmetal Magic , added as a 9.

Will try to squeeze in one more book before the minichallenge starts=)

Thanks, Silje - I love countdowns!

[K~Terror]

Hmm... V - Are you having any luck with the scramble thing? Me.. not so much... so far my best is 7 words with 7 letters and then have 6 letters left over... none of which are vowels.

[Nichole]

Lol, just narrow it down some. Like put in e,e,r,s,t,h...etc. up to 14 letters. The go from there using the list of what's left. You can check out my posts if it helps any. I'm on the kindle and too lazy to link right now.

That's what I've been doing too... There has to be a way to use all of the letters... grrr....

Now I got it down to one unused letter (J) - but I have words of different lengths... (7, 8, 5, 5, 8, 6, 5, 3 letter words and a stupid J)...

Well, and I just saw that the words have to have at least 4 letters... poop.

[Nichole]

Ah, I see. I wasn't doing all that because I doubt we will be able to do more than a few words. Maybe I need to spend more time making definite words since nobody else has said anything. Not tonight though! :)

[K~Terror]

LOL! I'm not greedy.... I just want all of the letters... is that bad?

[Nichole]

Not greedy at all!.....

[K~Terror]

Too bad we can't partner up! ;)

[Nichole]

For real! We could use your mad reading skills!

That's a lot better than I've been able to come up with....but what list of letters are you using? There's only 48 letters and 7 words with 7 letters.....

What are your words?

OOPS! Type-O... I meant 6 7-letter words with 6 letters left over...

[K~Terror]

I didn't do the points and the points bonuses to figure out which is better.. Using more letters or having more 7-letter words

Probably because I'm convinced we can use all of the letters... haha

I completely understand. I'm wracking my brain trying to get them all to fit but chances are we won't even be able to read that many books anyway so maybe I should just try to let it go.....later....hahaha!!

[K~Terror]

Then maybe option 1 with bigger words!

[Jennifer]

I agree....but wow is it frustrating!! Thankfully it was a slow day at work because I wasted the whole morning on those damn scrabble words LOL!!

[Nichole]

[Jennifer]

HAHAHAHA!!!! EXACTLY!!!!

[Jennifer]

I feel like we should use K~Terror's 6 7-letter words. That's 42 books plus the 16 for part one and I think that's still going to be tough to accomplish. Unless someone else wants to try and get more words from the stuff. I think for my sanity I need to stop screwing with them.

[K~Terror]

LMAO!! Oh so flippin true!!!!

[Jennifer]

OK....I'm having a hard time letting go. I ran the numbers (imagine that) and K's Option 1 is 234 pts....Option 2 is 240 pts. But I modified Option 2 slightly and was able to get up to 245 points. The most points possible for Scrabble is 266...that's assuming you can find 6 7-letter words and 1 6-letter word.

[Jennifer]

....252 pts.....

[Jennifer]

....257 pts....

[VNerdbooks]

ooh 257 points sounds good!

I'm playing around with words but had a big barney with the hubby so had to put the phone down for a while grrr

[Jennifer]

Damn RL for screwing us!!!

That seems to be the best I can come up with and the only letter I didn't use was a K.

Do we want to claim letters or do we want to do like we do for UNO and just list all letters stuff would qualify for?

[VNerdbooks]

I would vote for list letters, at least they can be moved around then if needed

[Silje]

Listing letters sound good to me. Great job with the scrabbling ladies, I'm really impressed!

[Andrea]

These mini-challenges always confuse me but this one a couple of the parts I'm still like "whaaaat." Once I finish the book I'm reading now I'll check in with you guys and see what I should read next that could help with any of the mini.

I think that was the same reaction for most of us!!! LOL!
