Team Dawn Treader - Chat

[Andrea]

We don't have to rush. I was just checking in. I might browse my Kindle books and see what will work in case something exciting and urgent happens on your house thing that causes life to get in the way of reading. (I'm so hopeful for you!)

[Hannah]

Wow, just finished mine a bit under the wire. What Hope Remembers, rating 3.5, review to be written tomorrow. Someone remind me! ;)

[Andrea]

Great job, Hannah! I was hoping you'd get it done. I've still got 21% to go in mine. :) Well done, girl!

Round Six ends 7/26/17, reviews for books need to be posted in their team's review thread by then.

[Caitlyn]

The book that I am currently reading works for Location. Is it okay with you ladies if I take that task for this round?

[Andrea]

Sure! My next book will work perfectly for Sleeping Accommodations. May I take that category?

[Hannah]

Andrea, do you recall if there were any key chains in Bringing Maggie Home?

[Andrea]

I don't think there were. :/

[Andrea]

I also have a train book, if that one isn't covered by anyone else. Keychain and Candy are not in my current stack.

[Caitlyn]

I checked and mentions a keychain. I would be happy to loan this one on Kindle if anyone wants to read it! :)

[Caitlyn]

Andrea, I'm totally fine with you taking Sleeping Accommodations! :)

[Andrea]

If no one else wants to read this one AND can take the Train category, I can do Keychain and borrow this one on Kindle (as well as doing the Sleeping Accommodations one, since I have to read that book for review this next week anyway). Let me know.

[Hannah]

I think I could do either keychain or train.

[Andrea]

Awesome. Take whichever one you like, and I'll do the other (if no one else wants to). Bess had said she's out this week. I don't mind picking up that extra book, and I should have the time.

[Hannah]

I have a crate of books with me and an ereader full, so whatever you have will be fine for me to take the other...I'll check what I have along and let you know tomorrow.

[Andrea]

It will be the second book I read for this round, so I can wait. :)

[Els]

Hopefully by 7/26 I'll have gotten my hands on some books- and internet- and pick up whatever y'all have left.

[Hannah]

Sounds like a plan. :)

[Andrea]

I agree with Hannah; sounds like a good plan.

[Andrea]

Okay, Team. I know we just started Round 6, but let's look ahead a little. The last round is Round 7, and the tie break is whichever team finishes first. We'll have to be on our A-game. Check out the categories I think will be called and be browsing your books for one that will work. Let's plan on trying to get them read as quickly as possible once the categories are called. If we finish our books early this round, we can always start reading a book we think will work so that we just have to finish it on/after the start date for Round 7.

Potential Categories for Round 7:
Location: Asia
Transportation: Skates/Skateboard
Souvenir: Figurine (on cover/in text)
Nourishment: Baked Good

Thanks, y'all!

[Caitlyn]

Just finished my book for Round Six and got the review posted! Also, I was checking my books and found that I have one that will work for Figurine, so I would be happy to take that task next round! :)

[Andrea]

Awesome! I'm writing you down for Figurine, Caitlyn.

For Round Six, would you like to read another book? We still have #2 (train), #3 (keychain), and #4 (candy) left.

Hannah, had you decided which of those categories you were going for?

[Caitlyn]

I could do one for either of those tasks this round, because I have one that I can use for a swap if I need to! :)

[Andrea]

Go ahead and start it, if you don't mind. If any of the categories don't get done, that swap will definitely come in handy!

[Caitlyn]

Okay, will do! :)

[Andrea]

Thanks, Caitlyn!

[Hannah]

I'm technically trying for keychain, but having trouble finding one. ;)

[Andrea]

Do you have ? There is a "key on a hoop" in that one. I have barely started it, but it's not my primary reading focus right now.

[Hannah]

Thanks to Andrea finding a key ring for me, I have now finished . Review coming.

[Andrea]

Great job, Hannah! That didn't take you very long. I just finished my Sleeping Accommodations book and am about to post my review. Then I'll be reading a book for Transportation: Train.

Caitlyn, let's use your swap book for Nourishment: Candy.

And then... let's get started on a book for the next round if we can. If we could get them finished within the first two or three days of Round 7, we might win the tiebreak. We can do it!

[Caitlyn]

Okay, sure! :)

[Andrea]

Hannah, do you know which category you want for Round 7?

Potential Categories for Round 7:
Location: Asia
Transportation: Skates/Skateboard
Souvenir: Figurine (on cover/in text) - Caitlyn
Nourishment: Baked Good
Sleeping Accommodations: ?

[Hannah]

I can do any of those.

[Andrea]

Do you have one for skates/skateboard? That's the only one I'd have to use a swap for.

[Hannah]

I believe so. Is that one a cover only, or will text work?

[Andrea]

I think that's a cover only one, but we won't know for sure until the round is revealed. I went based off of the previous rounds, and I think Souvenir is the only one that's been allowed to be in the text.

[Hannah]

Andrea wrote: "I think that's a cover only one, but we won't know for sure until the round is revealed. I went based off of the previous rounds, and I think Souvenir is the only one that's been allowed to be in t..."

Okay. Let me see what I can hunt up!

[Andrea]

Okay. I think we have one swap per round, so if we need to use it, I was thinking the skates/skateboard might be the one to use it for. So we can have that as our back-up plan.

[Hannah]

Sounds like a plan!

[Andrea]

I have a book for #1 Location: Asia.

Potential Categories for Round 7:
Location: Asia - Andrea
Transportation: Skates/Skateboard
Souvenir: Figurine (on cover/in text) - Caitlyn
Nourishment: Baked Good
Sleeping Accommodations: ?

[Andrea]

I finished my book for Train, which I think finishes off round six for us. Anyone see a category we forgot for Round Six?

I'm starting a book for Location: Asia today for Round Seven.

[Hannah]

Ha! Found a skates book I haven't read yet.

[Andrea]

Sweet! Great job, Hannah! Which one is it? I really thought we'd have to use a swap for that one.

[Caitlyn]

I just have one chapter to go in my Figurine book so I should (hopefully!) easily be able to finish it the day the final round is called! :)

[Hannah]

It only took me about three hours to find one....

[Andrea]

Great job, Caitlyn!
Great job, Hannah!

I'll be making some good progress on my book this week, so I'll be ready day-of too.

Caitlyn, would you like to start another book for one of the remaining categories? If that's asking too much, feel free to tell me no. :)

Here's what we've got:

Potential Categories for Round 7:
Location: Asia - Andrea
Transportation: Skates/Skateboard - Hannah
Souvenir: Figurine (on cover/in text) - Caitlyn
Nourishment: Baked Good
Sleeping Accommodations: ?

[Caitlyn]

Sure, I have one that will work for Sleeping Accommodations so I will start that one! :)

[Andrea]

Sounds great, Caitlyn. Thank you!

[Andrea]

I found a 160-page book for Nourishment: Baked Good, so it looks like all our categories are covered for Round 7. Great job, Team Dawn Treader! I'm looking forward to seeing how soon we can post our reviews once the round has been announced.
