[Alyssa Janine]

Thanks! :)

[Morgan]

@Gillian I requested authorization so I could add my books to the spreadsheet

[Gillian]

accepted Morgan :)

[Alyssa Janine]

How's everything going? :) I'm Aly by the way.

Is this your first time joining this team challenge here in this group or not? I've been inactive for a few months already and before, I always join the medium team but decided to stay with fun team for a while. :)

I am finished with one book and I'll leave the review tomorrow and hopefully, I'll finish my current read later at night.

[Johanna]

Hi!
I've been ill, so I'm super sorry about checking in this late! I'm going to check out the spreadsheet and everything now.

Hello! I hope you're ok now.

[Gillian]

Hi Johanna I hope you have recovered and are well again I have accepted your request to the spread sheet :)

[Johanna]

Thank you! I added two books to the spread sheet, could only find ones that fit the last part for now, but I'll try to see if I can come up with some more.

[Alyssa Janine]

I'm done with two books already and my review will be posted today for the first one and tomorrow for the second one. :) Currently starting on the third book now.

[Morgan]

I added my books to the spreadsheet! I've finished my first book and have started on my second book. I will add the review for the first book sometime this weekend.

[Alyssa Janine]

Just finished some. I'll post them within this week. :)

[Shae]

I finished one too (main character beginning with A). Will post today :) have a book I had started last month that I wan to finish and then I'll move onto another challenge book!

[Alyssa Janine]

How are you guys?

[Shae]

Good :) How are you? Trying to plough through a book that needs to be finished that I started last month and then moving on with another challenge book. How are you going with your books?

Gillian I am so sorry I haven't got around to assassin's apprentice! I have been swamped

[Alyssa Janine]

I've finished 3 books already and I'm supposed to be done with my current read right now if I didn't go to the dance workshop of Matt Steffanina and Jayden Rodriguez today. I'll post my reviews tomorrow.

Gillian ..."

That's fine Shae I ended up reading it as it was so good I could not stand letting it spread over the 2 weeks ;)

[Shae]

Glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like I might have to get to it soon then :)

[Morgan]

I'm just about to start my sixth book. Unfortunately, my laptop broke this week so I'm waiting for that to be repaired then I'll post the reviews for the books I've read.

[Johanna]

I've just started my second book, been quite slow with the reading lately. I'll try to post my review for tonight.

[Gillian]

Anyone reading a Beach book its the only one on the spread sheet still needs covering?

[Vivi]

Hey guys, just started my 2nd book:

[Alyssa Janine]

I'm not sure if I'll be reading any beach book. I currently erased my to-read-list in the spreadsheet since I'm not really following it. I'm just taking books that I'd like to read. I still have 3 reviews to be up soon. I just don't have time to write them because it's enrollment week.

[Gillian]

Thanks for keeping the spreadsheet updated Alyssa. I think I have found a beach book i can read to fill that spot :)
If anyone else thinks they won't be reading a book you have on the spreadsheet please update it to give us time to fill any gaps.

[Johanna]

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to finish the books I have on the spreadsheet. However, I might finish a book and not write a review until the end of the month, since I'm really busy rn.

[Shae]

Thought I could help with the beach thing but the book I am nearly finished can only be used for water on the cover. Can I use that description even though two books have already been used for it? I'm confused about the game rules. My understanding is we can use it 4 times but it has to be 4 different players each time

[Gillian]

Your understanding is correct :)

[Shae]

Awesome. Well I can add to the water on the cover category. Sorry I couldn't help with the beach category though.

No prob. :) I'll just finish my enrollment and such this week and I'll post 3-4 reviews next week. :)

[Shae]

How's everyone going?
Gillian you are smashing it! So glad our signed up for serious next month as you will be so good in that category.
How's everyone going with the books that are on the spreadsheet? I'm about to finish one early tomorrow and then get into another one which is a short one. I was trying to look at the categories to see whether any need to be filled so we can try and get the bonus points. Is everyone still good for the books that are on the spreadsheet?

[Alyssa Janine]

I'm good. I'm busy with enrollment for awhile. I just need to do it first before I write all my reviews for the books I've finished.

[Shae]

Ok awesome :)

I am going to focus on my two books in the top category as if I get them done and Vivi gets Wake Me up Inside done, then we have completed that top category and will get the extra 10 points. Are you still ok to complete that one Vivi?


Morgan are you still ok to get the book done for someone going missing? I noticed that's the only one left for that game too, so could be 10 points :)

Johanna are you still right to finish Jellico Road and your I book? I am just about to finish Nowhere but here this morning, so once that is done there is just those two spots to complete for that game card.

I just thought if any of the above are struggling and need some help we can focus on those categories to get the bonus points. I think i'll leave one of my books till last as there has already been a book for that category, so Its best for me to focus on ones where we can get the bonus points

I've already finished it! I'm just waiting for my laptop to get fixed so I can write and post the review.

[Gillian]

I'm just waiting on 2 buddy reads that start in the next few days other than that i'm just trying to fill spaces so if anyone thinks they can't read a book yell out

[Shae]

@morgan awesome work!! So we have definitely filled that category and will get the 10 bonus points.

Now just to find out about the other categories :)

I've finished my book for the letter I, and am currently reading Jellicoe Road. Haven't posted any reviews yet though. I thought that I should wait and mark as "read" until I've posted the reviews, but maybe that wasn't the case. I have updated the spread sheet now anyways!

[Shae]

@Johanna awesome :)
You could do it however, I just thought I'd message in case anyone was struggling, maybe someone else could pick up if need be. I know I am always over ambitious and then life happens haha

[Gillian]

I am currently reading which is a buddy read for the word Game
for brown cover
I still have a buddy read for starting on the 24th which was going to go in Tree's but will see if it will fit elsewhere after I read it.
What is everyone else reading just so we have an idea of what will not be covered in the next week? I can probably get another couple of books in depending on size before the end of the month.

[Johanna]

Posted my first review yesterday and have started on the second one. I'll start reading my last book today as well.

[Vivi]

Hi guys,

Finished . Will upate in the reviews thread in a bit :)

[Gillian]

I will do reviews for tomorrow I will have finished to day and will review tomorrow also. I have a copy of I can read for house next although Johanna may have this one covered. I'm not sure if I'm picking the right books to fill in the gaps. :(

You're doing a Great job, Gillian! You've read lots and lots of books.

[Gillian]

Vivi wrote: "Gillian wrote: "I will do reviews for tomorrow I will have finished to..."

Thanks Vivi this will be the most books I have ever read in a month :)

[Johanna]

I've got house covered :)

[Gillian]

Thanks Johanna
Do you still have a review for Jellicoe road to do?
I'm only just getting to my reviews now as I had to run my husband to emergency yesterday and then do his work as well as mine.

[Shae]

I finished the bullying book last night so I'll post my review later today. And I'll be starting the boarding school book later. Do we need one for J or are you right with Jellicoe road Johanna? It's ok if you haven't been able to get to it, i just thought I'd check as someone could try and read a book starting with J, I could even find a shorter e book and read it so we can the bonus points :)

[Shae]

Sorry just seen you already mentioned that Gillian! Didn't mean to sound pressuring Johanna, it's all good if you haven't gotten to it. Silly phones and not seeing what people have written when you post comments :P

[Gillian]

Thats Awesome Shae
I'm 99% sure Johanna has read the book but just not gotten around to the review.
I have one review left to do which is a buddy read I'm just waiting on the other person to read the book then I'm up to date, you and Johanna are reading the last couple of book so I think I'm free to read what ever I like unless one of you need me to fill a category.
