How's it not fair? Everyone has at least 2 slots and as long as everyone is active we'll have the chance to switch things around. Plus with a challenge like this, we're bound to have books banked because people read at different paces.

[Maddie]

Yeah that's true at least. Just as long as people try to use their earlier books for the challenge rather than their late books. And maybe be willing to let others take their slots if they're going to take a while to get to them so that people aren't banking too many

[Shae]

So my buddy could start earlier with so I will take Maddie’s man spot as she isn’t getting to that for a fair while. I’m doing it on audio, so will start tomorrow :)

Also planning to finish keeper today

Yeah I'm only planning things at the beginning of the week so I'll just take what I can. Also have a lot of school stuff so I don't want to go too crazy haha

[Dr. Andy]

Just finished The Warrior Heir :D

[Maddie]

Awesome guys :D

[Dr. Andy]

I found a 720 page edition so we might get 12 points for that. if not definitely 10 :)

[Shae]

Awesome Andrea!

Ok so I can finish chosen and the keeper today. Chosen was a banked book. But it can go into female main character and keeper can go into green. So if anyone hasn’t started reading for green card, I can do that and it would mean we are closer to finishing cards. But obviously I can bank one as that was the original plan :)

[Dr. Andy]

Maybe you can take Velinas Thunderhead spot. I'm not sure when she'll be back and that category is close to being done.

[[deleted user]]

I love reading books but I hate doing updates, it just takes sooo long...

[[deleted user]]

Done posting ... Completed all my updates for so I'm booking it for whenever it fits somewhere... I'm almost done with and will do my updates today too and book it... I will start tomorrow...

Spoke to velina and she is happy for me to take the thi derhead spot. So I’ll finish those two tonight and update. Yay!!

Andrea I wish our sleepless in manhattan would hurry up and come in in the library :/

Good job cinthia!

[[deleted user]]

Finished ... I could use it for "Card Two: Blue Four-- Read books with guitars (or other musical instruments) on the cover or in the title, or read books by author's named 'Chris', 'James', 'Patrick', or 'Rynn'."

author named James if anyone wants to give up their spot or I can just bank it and wait to see what our next card is...

[Shae]

Cinthia I spoke to Maddie and she said you can take her spot for Daniel x on ss, then she might look at those spots you suggested above or bank it. At least this way the card will be done today :)

Great... I just posted it.. :)

[Kelly]

Sorry guys it seems I didn't use the version with the most page counts for two of my reviews. Thanks Andrea for correcting that ^^.

[Maddie]

Yeah guys make sure to find the highest page counts, regardless of language :)

And oh yes I totally didn't even realise it could work for the other card XD I'll count Daniel X for my Knife spot then and replace that, as I also did have another book to fit in before Knife.

[Maddie]

Also what are we doing with the ss in terms of completed books? Are we just replacing them? Because we don't need them anymore do we?

[Kelly]

You mean when we complete a card and get another ?

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

I thought we would leave them and post the new card below? So we can still see what we already read for the card if we get it again. But idk, what you guys think is best is good with me :).

[Maddie]

Oh yeah that works. Or maybe we could create another tab for the completed ones so they don't get in the way.

Also Kelly, I've given away my Painted Man spot to Shae as she'll read her book sooner than I'll read that one, so hopefully another card comes up that counts so I can still read it XD

[Kelly]

That’s a good idea! Yes, I’ve read your comment. Hopefully, we’ll get the card done quickly and you can still read it later if you really want to ^^.

Today I’m reading The Sin Eater’s Daughter, tomorrow Finnikin of the Rock and I hope I’ll finish listen/read the painted man on the 6th.

If someone wants my spot for The painted Man I’d say yes but I’d like to get those 12 points (there’s a version with 797pages). After that, I’m gonna need some contemporary or something lighter I think xD.

[Maddie]

Yeah gotta get the most points out of the team, and that means fast reading.

Oh right that's nice! Yeah I need some light physical reads but I don't have any XD They're all intense books.

[Maddie]

Finished Storyteller tomorrow. Still got half to go but I get home at around 1:30 and then I'm free all afternoon so will finish up

[Maddie]

And will have Daniel X finished too

[Kelly]

Guys! We got a new card :D : Red 1. Do you have any banked books that fit? I already have 2 slots taken after I finish the book I’m reading so I won’t take one for Red1 unless you tell me it’s ok ;).

I could read (I could bank that one if you guys complete the card since it can go into a lot of categories) or . There are BRs planned for these already.

[Dr. Andy]

I'm on my phone right now but I'll start checking stuff like crazy in an hour or two!! I'm going to get to kill a kingdom done today so hopefully we can get another card!!

[Dr. Andy]

Also I already have a second tab ready for completed cards I'll just move everything over to that.

[[deleted user]]

Can we have a color for the completed bank ones?

[Kelly]

Awesome !

[Dr. Andy]

Cinthia wrote: "Can we have a color for the completed bank ones?"

Sure thing!

[Dr. Andy]

I have one book that will fit for Red One!

[[deleted user]]

Thank you Andrea. You are awesome!

[[deleted user]]

I know I said I’d pick up Finnikin today but I got some errands this morning so I started Dragon Marked. It’s pretty good.

[Dr. Andy]

Spreadsheet updated! I had to move the warrior heir to Green 9 so I moved Keeper back to Yellow Four Shae.

[[deleted user]]

For that red one how many books do we have to read for it? One?

[Dr. Andy]

Cinthia wrote: "For that red one how many books do we have to read for it? One?"

To complete a card it's always four books. If we get a draw two then there's technically two cards that have to be finished and for a draw 4, 4 cards.

[[deleted user]]

Ok got it! I think I saw on the other serious teams they had a wild card and it was just one book that had to be read for that category instead the 4 books.

[[deleted user]]

Andrea you think I could use Caraval for yellow four? The main characters are sisters.

[Dr. Andy]

Cinthia wrote: "Andrea you think I could use Caraval for yellow four? The main characters are sisters."

Yeah you could if Velina doesn't mind.

[Dr. Andy]

Velina- I put Thunderhead in the new category.

[Dr. Andy]

Cinthia-- if you have any books the have dead or man in the title that's the category we're not doing too well on

[Dr. Andy]

If Maddie finishes Storyteller and Daniel X today and I finish To Kill A Kingdom, we will have 2 more categories done!

[Maddie]

Yeah I'll definitely finish Daniel, just need to force my way through Storyteller. It's pretty intense and I don't want to rush through it. Now I'll check the tasks for Red 1.

[Maddie]

I have which fits, and I'm going back up to Auckland in 2 days' time, so I'll get it started and finished then :)

I'm only trying to find slots for and because otherwise I'll take too long, especially as Final Empire will take me a decent few days. and that's my latest book that I've put into the ss.

[Maddie]

Kelly just put into the ss what book you want to read, otherwise talk it over with Cinthia. I'd like to take that spot with Sweet Reckoning, but if you guys both have books you'd be finished with before the 7th then you take them.

[Maddie]

Guys Seville is up at 99... So close!

At least we know Barcelona will stay behind us. They've only got 6 points..

[Jessica]

*sneaks in*
WE ARE COMING!!!!!!
We are trying. Moving like a snail I know, but we are trying.

[Maddie]

What team are you? Barcelona? XD
