Read-a-Thon #2 - Green Team's Battleship Strategy Topic

[Jennifer]

Did the scrabble and halfway check-in.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I've finished both of those as well.

[Debra]

I did the scrabble and halfway check in

[Lieke]

I support I3 as well.

And I played the next game: Scrabble

[Perri]

Ditto on the scrabble and halfway check

[Edie]

Where's the graphic with the Battleship game? It seems to have disappeared from the feed... and I want to use my guess.

I have done scrabble (for Wednesday) and the Candy Book Tag activities.

[Lieke]

@ Edie - it is in the first post

I finished reading Verwelken (Wither), this adds 351 pages to my total pages read.
It is a YA book by a female author.

Edit: I did the halfway check-in

Thanks Lieke...it was hiding in plain sight.

[Edie]

Finished Pashmina.

Graphic YA novel by a female author.

176 pages

This could also count as a one word title.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Can we also do I12 for a group guess? Start looking for that last boat!

[Edie]

A4 for my guess, please.

[[deleted user]]

I've completed Candy Book Tag, Scrabble and the Halfway Check-in.

I've read 3 books:

The Wind Singer
Audiobook - 7 hours and 43 mins
Read a Book with a Child Main Character

Moondance of Stonewylde
Female Author
Average GR Rating of Between 4 and 4.3

Solstice at Stonewylde
Female Author
Read a Book in a Series

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

I3 is a hit! I12 and A4 are a miss

Lieke, you earned a guess for the YA book. It also earned a team guess for our 10th book.

Edie, we can't count graphic novels towards the general tasks but I added it to the page count and that earned us a team guess for finishing 2 total graphic novels.

Lori, you earned 3 individual guess, one for each book category and we earned a team guess for finishing 20 hours of audio. We didn't get a guess for female author since you have already read one by a female author.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Team guess -- J3?

[[deleted user]]

My guesses are:

C12
H11
L5

[Jennifer]

I am ok with the team guess

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

J3, C12, and L5 are a miss.

H11 is a hit :)

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Just finished My Name Is Memory for 324 pages. Most of the book takes place in the US, so Set in the Country You Reside In.

I'll take G3 for my guess!

[Debra]

Finished Black Canyonnot sure if you want to use it or not. 74 pages read

[Samantha]

Happy Half Way to all.

Laura you are amazing keeping track of everything, it makes my head spin.

I listened to 3.5 hours Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things so it is finished. I think the cover looks yellow, it is a long title and I read for ATY.

I gave up on Hausfrau and started What You Want To See it is and E Arc with no pages numbers but based on percentage I read about 60 pages. Should read more before bed.

Book Recommendation:
If you are looking for a book for the book you think will make you laugh challenge, I recommend the Audiobooks for either of Jenny Lawson's books but Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir was my favorite of the two.

[Tammy]

I'll take F11 and G11 for my two guesses, Laura!

I did Scrabble today and the 1/2 way check in.

[Lieke]

I’ll take I11 for my guess.

[[deleted user]]

Looks like we have 4 team guesses left.

I vote we go for:

D11
E11
J11
K11

With these and Emily, Tammy and Lieke's guesses we should sink both ships remaining.

[Jennifer]

I agree about the team guesses.

[Edie]

I agree with the team guesses.

Completed the halfway activity.

[Veronica]

I completed Candy Book Tag, Scrabble, and the half - way check-in.

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

All ships have been sunk!

See the first post for the completed board.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

YEA! GO GREEN TEAM!

I say we keep going and try to make the whole board green! It feels a bit anticlimatic to finish the game 4 days before the end of the read-a-thon haha

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

I could always hide more ships ;)

[Samantha]

congrats everyone, job well done!

[Jennifer]

More ships sound good to me!

Way to go team!

[Tammy]

Great work Green team!

I completed The Life All Around Me By Ellen Foster. This one could work for long title, Spring cover, child main character,female author, and rating between 3 and 3.5. 224 Pages

And I did guess the cover game!

[Jennifer]

Started and finishef Talk of the Town during the readathon. It is a romance book and 156 pages.

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Okay, I am off work tomorrow so I can go through in the morning and calculate the new guesses and hide the ships.

I know a few of you earned guesses in the midst of sinking the last ship so I can include those too.

[Debra]

Finished Ready Player One which is orange cover

pages read 374 pages

[Perri]

Finished The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir Nonfiction and a long title

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

Debra, we already have you down for a novella so we can't count it for that task. But I added the page count to the total.

Samantha, I added Furiously Happy to the audio total, which maxes out your 5 hours and put it as yellow cover.

Tammy, we already used one of your books for female author. But you earned one guess for spring cover.

Jennifer, I've added it to the total and you earned one guess for the romance.

Perri, you earned a guess for nonfiction

We've also earned two team guesses for finishing 15 books and the rainbow.

I've hidden 3 more ships, a 4-block ship, a 3-block ship, and a 2-block ship.

[Tammy]

I'll try C7 for my guess and suggest F9 for one of the team guesses.

[Jennifer]

I will use b5 for my guess.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I'll second F9! And I did guess that cover!

[Debra]

Did the guess the cover

[Lieke]

I also did the guess the cover

[Perri]

I've also played games 5, 6 and 7

Thanks for adding boats, Laura!

[Tammy]

I just finished The Liars' Club by Mary Karr. I don't know if we've checked off a non-fiction book or not. This was a rough memoir to read, but very good.
320 Pages

[Edie]

Did guess the cover (not very well).

Not sure this will count, but

Finished: The Best American Essays 2005 edited by Susan Orlean. It is a book started before the readathon.

Read 76 pages during the readathon.

For me it checks off an ATY box (book that has text only cover)

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Just finished The Last Mrs. Parrish, which is for ATY and also a mystery/thriller.

I'm going to go with B7 for my guess!

[Jennifer]

I also did the cover game

[Samantha]

I finished What You Want To See, which is published outside the major 5 publishers.

If this means I get a guess I will go with C5

[Perri]

I will pick I7

[Veronica]

I have completed 5.5 hours of Frankenstein on audiobook.
