Hello :) I tend to be a bit OCD on rules so I have a few questions.

If we get the word CRIME for example. And people read the C, R and M letters. Then someone reads another C. Can we use that towards spelling the word a second time assuming we finish the I and E before the end of the week or must we finish all letters before starting on spelling it again.

Also, Is it when we finish a book that counts? i.e. weeks start Saturday night. If you start reading Friday night and finish Sunday morning does that book count towards that week or must you start after Saturday night?

If you haven't already, check in on your team page. Once you make sure everyone is checked in, we anxiously await the spinning of the wheel! :)

I don't know the answer to your first question, but for question 2, I believe the mods said that it's ok as long as the book is finished after we get our spins.

Hi Kelly!

yes you could use the C the second time provided you finished the word at some point during the week,
and Jaclyn is right that it is the date that the book is finished that counts :)

[CassieV]

Are we doing secret groups this time around? Or do we just stick to the team threads?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

No secret groups as there isn't any info that needs to be hidden and we found people like to visit other teams, so we are keeping everything just out in the open :)

[Cheryl]

New to the Team reads. When you say to check my team's feed each week, is that found on the Discussions page or does my team captain somehow message me or what. I am just not clear how I will find my team...although I know that I am on the Indomitables. (Go Indominatable Team!!!)

[Ange]

Hi Nadia. I've got you "on the bench" so that if we lose some players (which can happen whe RL gets in the way) I will assign you to a team. It could be a few days, so feel free just to drop in and say hello to teams i the meantime!

[✿Claire✿]

Hi, I have a quick question. If the book we're reading has a title which starts with a number, can we use the first letter of the number spelt out? For example 24 Bones, could we use T as the letter or would it have to be B?

Thank you :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Sure claire, the number can be used as "t"

[✿Claire✿]

Thank you Karen :)

[Kathy]

I'm new to this challenge as well - I am on Team Butterfly. Where are all the team links to this challenge? I would like to check in with my team.

[Christine]

Question: do we have to start and finish in the week or can it be that we've started books before 13.07. and just finish them in the week to count?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

It is here Kathy: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Just the finished "read" date that counts Christine. They can be started at any time

[~Leslie~]

Mods, I listed a book as currently reading last night, but actually didn't start it until this morning. Wasn't thinking about the challenge when I did it. Silly me. Can I count the book and change the date started?

[Christine]

Yeah! that's great. thanks Karen

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Hi Leslie - the start date doesn't matter so you're fine ; it is only the finished "read" date that counts :)

[~Leslie~]

Oh, I thought it had to be started on the 12th. But yay!! Thanks Karen!

[Mary X]

How prominent does a character have to be to count for this? Only main characters or what?

[Logan]

I see History is separate rom Historical Fiction and Nonfiction. Is this a book about history? Nonfiction?

[Logan]

Never mind! I forgot it's based on shelf.

[Greta]

I am on team Redrum. How do I check in with them?

Go to this thread Greta: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Kelly]

How big of a character in the book does it have to be to count? Does it have to be main enough to be listed on the goodreads character list for the book?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

No Kelly, I'm happy to accept any character (as GR doesn't always list characters at all!), but it should be a character that has some dialogue... not just a goldfish called goldie that is mentioned once in the book if you know what I mean ;)

edit - sorry just saw Mary HDLS posted the same question - apologies for the delay!

[VNerdbooks]

ahh damn it!! **Scratches out Goldie the Goldfish**
