Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Here are my plans so far. I put in parenthesis the amount left per letter after mine and Jamieson's lists. Also, if anyone wants any of the letters I picked, just let me know and I'll pick something else! I also have no problem just trying to knock out some of the bigger allotted letters or the smaller obscure letters so we can start over faster! I'm on Spring Break in March and have a ton of time :)

A: Along Came a Spider (7)
B: The Belles (1)
C: Carry On (0)
D: (3)
E: Empire of Storms (11)
F: Furthermore (0)
G: Gunslinger Girl (2)
H: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1)
I: I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, Ignite Me (7)
J: (1)
K: (1)
L: The Lightning Thief (4)
M: Markswoman (0 or 1)
N: Never Fade (5)
O: (8)
P: The Promised One (1)
Q: Queen of Shadows (0)
R: Ready Player One (BR), Red Rising, Restore Me (3)
S: Shatter Me (2)
T: Three Dark Crowns (BR) (5)
U: Unravel Me (3)
V: (2)
W: White Chrysanthemum, Whichwood (0)
X: (1)
Y: (2)
Z: Zenith (0)
Wildcards: (2)

Michelle | 575 comments Hey, team!! I'm currently on reading week (basically spring break but boring and in the middle of winter) so I might make a spreadsheet to keep track of this cause I'm already confused with both of your posts :D.

So far, I only have these book son my TBR: Renegades (Renegades, #1) by Marissa Meyer The One (The Selection, #3) by Kiera Cass The Heir (The Selection, #4) by Kiera Cass The Crown (The Selection, #5) by Kiera Cass A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas

All of them are buddy reads. (:

I'll get working on that spreadsheet and update you guys later. (:

Here's the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The first column is the "official list" and the second are for books that we could potentially change to another letter. We can also track the highest page editions. Anyone can edit, so if you guys have other books/editions please add them. (:

J.D. (booksrbirds) | 36 comments Thinking of reading The 100 (T/O), The Diabolic (D/T), Delirium (D), Renegades (R), Fate of Flames (F), 1984 (N), and maybe The Fellowship of The Ring (T/F) or Lord of The Flies (L). I’m not sure about anything else, it’ll be up in the air from there.

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Hi everyone! I'll be working on S (Shatter Me), G (Gunslinger Girl - BR), T (Three Dark Crowns - BR), and L (The Lightning Thief - BR) for this week (March 1-3)!


message 20: by Ari ☾ (new)

Ari ☾ (aricakes) | 708 comments Hi everyone, just updating. I'm not quite sure what I will be reading, but I will keep you updated on what I decide to start tomorrow!


message 21: by Ari ☾ (last edited Feb 28, 2018 05:40PM) (new)

Ari ☾ (aricakes) | 708 comments Okay, I have my books plotted out for the course of the month.
1.) Wake (Watersong #1) by Amanda Hocking (w)
2.) This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) by Victoria Schwab (t)
3.) Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab (o)
4.) Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas (t)
5.) I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll (i) <-- This one is a maybe, depends if I finish Truthwitch in a decent amount of time. So far its borrring. Because it's kindle and I try to only read one kindle book at a time. Weird I know.
6.) Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs (wild) if someone is willing to trade for a 'c' spot let me know so I don't have to use a wild card!

I have also put this in the spread sheet. That was an awesome idea Michelle!


message 22: by J.D. (new)

J.D. (booksrbirds) | 36 comments Definitely going to do Furyborn now. Staring it in the next few days.

I think we can also put Cry Wolf under S or L for it's international editions!


message 24: by Ari ☾ (new)

Ari ☾ (aricakes) | 708 comments Okay thanks Lane!
I’ll look into it tomorrow morning and sign up for whichever we have least of!


message 25: by ✨ jami ✨ (new)

✨    jami   ✨ (jamieson_) | 396 comments Hi all, so I got rid of one of my planned book and am switching it for Scythe (have updated spreadhseet)

its 500 pages, fits for S,K,L,O,D and I'll be buddy reading so thats 10 points.

Thats what I'm reading now anyway


message 26: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments Hey! Sorry I wasn't present the last few days. I'm starting Renegades for my first book of the month. Plus Come Back to Me. Also, I hope you don't mind that I made some changes to the look of the spreadsheet. I have no self-control when it comes to these things.

Hey guys, just to let you know that I've messaged Noor again, we'll have to wait and see if she checks in ☺ If she doesn't then I will look for someone to replace her ☺


message 29: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 575 comments Hey, guys! I just realized that I have 3 huge pojects that I'll have to work on over the month but if everything goes according to shcedule I should be able to read all my books (:

Today I'm starting with Renegades (Renegades, #1) by Marissa Meyer Replica (Replica, #1) by Lauren Oliver The One (The Selection, #3) by Kiera Cass and I'll start Furyborn (Empirium, #1) by Claire Legrand in the next few days and The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton (this one's a maybe for now :/)

I might not be super chatty for the next few days but I'll keep the spreadsheet and here updated (:

message 31: by Ari ☾ (new)

message 33: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments I highlighted in green on the spreadsheet the book I have submitted in our review thread, so maybe we can keep track of what letters have not just been claimed but are also for sure already off the board.

Hi Team Mushroom, just to let you know that Noor has contacted me to say that she is still taking part, so hopefully she'll be checking in with you guys soon ☺


message 35: by ✨ jami ✨ (new)

✨    jami   ✨ (jamieson_) | 396 comments Hi all, just finished Scythe and put it in reviews. I put it under K for now as it's 500+ pages with a buddy read, but I'll replace it with a larger K book if I finish that this month later on. If I don't finish the larger one at least we have that for the K points

I'm also 40% into The Diviners audiobook and I'll be properly starting the cruel prince tonight

Sounds awesome Jamieson! We're really moving up the scoreboard!


message 37: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments And I think that's a great K! 15 points! We could only ever squeeze out 2 extra points with BR


message 38: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Sorry for all the messages, Jamieson I'm going to take Scythe out of your S slot for now. Let me know if that's not okay.

No definitely do that I was supposed to and I just forgot


message 40: by ✨ jami ✨ (new)

✨    jami   ✨ (jamieson_) | 396 comments Anyway as an update, I'm 65% finished with the Diviners and 21% with The Cruel Prince. Hoping to knock a big chunk of one of them (probably TCP) out tonight


message 41: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments I've finished 3 books so far but I haven't reviewed any of them yet. I've got Renegades, Sutphin Boulevard, and Come Back to Me. I'm currently reading Wicked and And I Darken. I'm gonna need suggestions as to where to put some of them.

It looks like Come Back to me can go in T, V, or P! And Sutphin Boulevard and Wicked can go in their normal letter spaces.

Thanks! Also, on the spreadsheet, I'm using yellow for currently reading or books that are done and just haven't been posted.


message 44: by Ari ☾ (new)

Ari ☾ (aricakes) | 708 comments Been going through books a little faster than I thought I would. So, adding Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas to the spreadsheet.
Using P for a version in a different language.

That's a great idea!


message 46: by Ari ☾ (new)

Ari ☾ (aricakes) | 708 comments Also added The Jewel (The Lone City, #1) by Amy Ewing in our J slot.

Been plowing through This Savage Song! It's super good so far!

That's good to hear! I really need to read it eventually!


message 48: by ✨ jami ✨ (new)

✨    jami   ✨ (jamieson_) | 396 comments Finished The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray and over halfway through The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) by Holly Black

starting Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3) by Laini Taylor to replace the diviners and hopefully finish TCP tonight or tomorrow if not


message 49: by Lane (last edited Mar 08, 2018 10:03PM) (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Finishing Edinburgh Twilight (Ian Hamilton Mysteries #1) by Carole Lawrence Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi Unite Me (Shatter Me, #1.5, #2.5) by Tahereh Mafi today! Maybe can squeeze in The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan since it's pretty quick.

And then going to work on White Teeth by Zadie Smith and The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton , to hopefully finish by Saturday!

So Jealous of all the time you have to read Lane! I have a hard time finding it between school, work, and trying to spend time with my boyfriend and keep in touch with friends. (Most of my reading is at night when everyone is sleeping or my rare day off. But I don't have those often!
