I think so.

Yes. So if you read a word twice, but don't get through the 3rd read, any books read for that 3rd read will count.

What doesn't count is if you don't complete the word before starting to re-read

Please make sure you set the date read. Thanks


message 160: by Karla (new)

Karla Great job, ladies! We are about halfway down with spelling our word out for a fourth time! We have T, H, R, and E, open. Tea's book can be used for any of them, so, if any of you want to try for another book, you have options.


message 161: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments My next book Take by Ella Frank will work for the T or E.

I did put the date in...there are apparently dup editions on my list...goodreads won't let me delete the e-book version at the moment...but I did put it on my list as read :)

Catherine | 5067 comments ok...nevermind that last message! it did it! :) all fixed now :)

That's great.

Okay, I'll add the date now. Thanks!


message 166: by Karla (new)

Karla So, I have plugged in Tea's and Danielle's books. We will be two books shy of spelling our word out four times!


message 167: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments My book has at least 10 characters with R names. That should count for another letter. :P

I'll be done with mine tomorrow and I could try to squeeze something shortish/quickish. Have both R & E books, so if somebody else wants/has one of those letters let me know.

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments Only got about 20% of Take to finish tomorrow.

Tea, I think I got an R book to read tomorrow.


message 169: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments OK. I'll read Try by Ella Frank. I've started this book a while ago, but it didn't hold me. I could as well finish it now.
Don't want to throw away other letters just to get an E :P

I'm sooo ready for new letters!!!

Can we get thriller again? *please say no! please say no! at least for this week*

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments I'm now going to read Into the Shadows. I don't know if I'll finish tonight. We'll see how the night goes. I'll post either way.


message 176: by ❀Tea❀ (last edited Jul 19, 2014 11:10AM) (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments Slow down! :P
According to countdown, there are 7h left of this week. Little less to give Karla time to check everything (since it's about 3am here I can't help her).


❁ Danielle wrote: "Hope you have better luck with it now."

Not really. :P I don't like either of characters so I'm doing everything else (like hanging on GR) beside reading. But I'll get them through.


message 177: by Karla (new)

Karla I'm working on finishing my book now. I will make it before the deadline. I'll update everything now, and then check again, 15 minutes before the deadline. Might as well see if there are any last minute additions.


message 178: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments I'm done with Try


message 179: by Karla (new)

Karla Great job, Tea!


message 180: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments :D
We all done great job.

From what I've glimpsed in other teams, we have most points.


message 181: by Karla (new)

Karla Great job, everyone! I hope no one got burnt out reading this week!


message 182: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (last edited Jul 19, 2014 01:26PM) (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments Well done, everyone! This week certainly made me read a few books that I've had for quite a while to read.


message 183: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa | 134 comments Great job everyone!!! :)


message 184: by Audrey Jane (new)

Audrey Jane | 1850 comments Well done team mates :) ! I'm not going to be able to finish my book The Greyfriar before the deadline but I hope it will count for our next word, depending on the letters. Btw I'm really enjoying this team challenge.


message 185: by ❀Tea❀ (last edited Jul 19, 2014 02:23PM) (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments And now we don't have most points anymore :( At the moment 1 or 2 teams are ahead of us for 1-2 books.
I should have kept my mouth closed :P

Just reminder for everyone:
check if your books are on your read & wheel-a-thon shelfs and if they have read dates

I am too! For my first challenge, I am really enjoying it- thanks to all of you!

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments I just finished Into the Shadows 19/7. All done for week one.

Bring on week two!! :)


message 189: by Karla (new)

Karla There is a possibility that we will end up with Thriller again. I asked Karen about it, in the Captains' Group. It's all done randomly, so we get what we get. Let's just cross our fingers that we get something different.

I'm hoping for Paranormal or Urban Fantasy. I have a book that I need to read for a different challenge that fits the letters and the genres.


message 190: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments Let's hope for something different.


message 191: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments I agree.
I need a break from T, H, R, I, L, E and no other options :P


message 192: by Karla (new)

Karla I just hope we don't get Horror!


message 193: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments Because of letters or genre?

It's such nice combination of letters :P


You know, we could try bribing Mods or whoever is spinning the wheel :P

I would say both

I actually think Horror may be an easy one (not that I've had it yet!), but FICTION was not easy so I figure anything with more common letters must be better.....lol

Amanda has already spun the wheels so I'm afraid it is too late for bribes ;)


message 196: by ❀Tea❀ (last edited Jul 19, 2014 04:11PM) (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9632 comments I actually wouldn't worry much about genre. People on GR sometimes tag pretty strange. I think if one of us read some bloody thriller or something like that that we could find 10 people who tagged it as horror.

For example: And Then There Were None is horror book ☺

How long ago?
So we know when to start negotiating for next spin :P


And how about hint? I'm going to bed now so it would be great to know what book to start reading :D

Mainly for the letters. But, now that I think about it, I have two books that would work; If I Should Die Before I Wake by Han Nolan and Obsidian.


message 199: by Karla (new)

Karla I have posted our final results.

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5761 comments Did you see that I finished Into the Shadows.
