[Sarah Elizabeth]

Have checked you in ☺

Hi!

[Edit~A]

I created a spreadsheet, I'll message the link! :)

[Raven]

Hey guys, I've claimed 4 spots in the doc. I will most likely be reading more though, but I don't want to promise everything because April is going to be pretty insane for me.

Here's what I'll be reading. If any of you want to do BR's for any of those let me know. We'll cross of categories fast that way :)

Red Zero: Title contains letters D-I-E-T
and

Red Two: Title contains the letter W
(might do the sequel too if I like this one)

Red Fours: Title contains A-I-R

I have no idea what I'll be reading next month, as I kinda just read whatever I'm in the mood to read. But I will most likely be reading and . I've already read the first book, but it's been a while so I need to reread it before I can read the other two 😌.

Just make sure it fits our needed descriptions :)

[Edit~A]

I'm taking the Wild one cause my ARC does not match to other categories! :)

[Edit~A]

Maria you sure you can finish all these asap? Cause we won’t get any other categories until we are done with these, please keep that in mind, so the others will have a chance to read something too. I originally thought, we should have used the random.org ourselves, and distribute the cards that we got between us randomly, to be fair.

[Raven]

Wow, sorry that I'm such a bother because I put up 4 books I could read for some of these categories. Don't mind me then, since you seem to have everything under control.

Also....

A) We get a new card every time we manage to finish one card.
B) If you distribute the card randomly someone might end up with a card they can't complete because they don't have books for it. So, not fair.
C) If it were to happen that I had claimed a spot when there was only one left, and then someone else had finished a book that would fit that category and complete it, it would be fine by me to use their book instead of mine.

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Good Luck!

Actually as a fun team it would be amazing if you finished four :) i think I offended you somehow so I’m sorry I didn’t mean that.

Plus yeah I see what you mean but we always could have shuffled the cards among us to finish categories, but again, that was just an idea that I put out there :)

[Edit~A]

So I checked with Sarah and she said that, yes, we will get a new card every time we finish a category. However for the cards that we got from draw two or draw four, we should finish all of these books (as they are considered 1 category) in order to get another one.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Adding Keyona to your team ☺

[Keyona]

Hello everyone! Can you please forward me the spreadsheet? Thank you!

[Edit~A]

Done :)

[Vathna]

Question: So we have to clear all the cards in (1) before moving on to (2)?

[Edit~A]

No no. But we should finish all the books in (1) in order to get a new card, and all the books in (2), because they are draw 2 and draw 4 cards, and these are considered as 1 category. Meanwhile, for (3), (4), (5) and (6) as long as we finish one of these we will get a new card

[Edit~A]

On the spreadsheet, I put +2 for draw 2 and +4 for draw four, so it'll be clear, which books are in a "group" category

[Edit~A]

And I also updated the spreadsheet, because there was a mistake, there were 2x21s, and we have just 1x21

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Cartagena, just to let you know that I'm adding Cersei to your team ☺

[K.]

Checking in

[cersei]

checking in!

[cersei]

---23. Red Two - 'Red 2' - Read books whose title's contain the letter 'W' (for 'Warren Ellis') (The letter 'W' can be anywhere in the title, as long as it appears at least once.) : im going to read We Are The Ants for this :)

[Raven]

I just put up a review for The Darkest Minds (category Red Zero) Going to start Truly Devious for the same category now :)

[Edit~A]

We don’t have the red zero category, let aline two. Every category is given only once until the previous given finished. We should read books that math the categories that Sarah assigned to us.

[Raven]

Uhhh... we do have the Red Zero category, actually. And we need 4 books to complete each category so I don't see how I'm doing anything wrong.

Do you have some sort of problem with me? Because this is the second time I post, and the second time you attack me.

Of course I don't have a problem with you, and I never attacked you. Again, my mistake, cause I didn't see the zero one before. Honestly Maria, you don't know me, so you just misunderstood, I never attacked you, but yeah I was wrong about the zero so my apologies

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Cartagena, just to let you know that I am doing a bit of a shuffle, and I'm moving Maria to Team Vigo ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Cartagena, just to let you know that I am adding Kelli to your team ☺

[Kelli]

Hello friends! Just checking in!! I’ve been out for a bit, but super excited to jump back in and get my butt back into my reading zone!! :)

[Kelli]

My current read is Shadow Kiss - the 3rd book in the Vampire Academy series. I technically started this in March so I will only get points for the pages read in April and it won’t count for a card but at least it’s a start! 😉 I’ll be finishing this tonight and will update you on what I decide to pick up next! :)

[Keyona]

Sounds good Kelli. Welcome!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Cartagena, just to let you know that Cersei has moved to Solo ☺

[Edit~A]

Hi guys! I have 6 reviews, tho they don't match our current categories, they'll help in the future :)

[Keyona]

What cards are everyone working on right now? Perhaps we can get some buddy reads together. I'm not really seeing much activity in the spreadsheet. Are we still using it? We can't use any of our banked books until we get rid of some cards obviously lol. We should keep the communication flowing!

[Kelli]

Hey everyone! I finished Shadow Kiss which I started in March so we’ll get points for pages but no card :-/ Also finished When for book that starts with W. I started reading Dear Martin for book with A I R
I work weekends so I’ll get started posting reviews and such on Tuesday :)

[Edit~A]

I have 3 books for

---21. Red Zero - 'Big Red Zero' - Read books whose titles contain the letters 'D', 'I', 'E', and 'T'. (Hint: the following words all contain the letters 'D', 'I', 'E', and 'T' - detective, deception, restricted/unrestricted, wildest, education, destiny, tide, spirited.)

&

---2. Blue One - 'Blue: One Love' - Read books written by author's named 'Antony', 'Costa', 'Duncan', 'James', 'Lee', 'Ryan', 'Simon', or 'Webbe'. (These names can also make up part of the author's name, for example 'Colleen Hoover' ) (These names can be either first name or last name.)

&

---25. Red Four - 'Red 4' - Read books which have the letters 'A', 'I', and 'R' in the title. (1/4)

but I'll write my reviews tomorrow :)


And I'm currently reading one for

---28. Red Seven - 'Red7' - Read books with the letters 'G', 'A', 'M', and 'E' in the title. (Title must contain all 4 letters, but in any order.) (Hint, words which contain 'G', 'A', 'M', and 'E are game (duh!), mage, champagne, Margaret, image, imagine, necromancing, and demonglass.)

[Edit~A]

I also have 5 upcoming reviews that can be used in the future when we get new cards :)

[Keyona]

You read Practical magic? So did I. We could've done a buddy read for that! I'm working on one for titles that start with letter W which I should finish tomorrow. I also am finishing up one for authors with names starting with N/K.

[Edit~A]

I posted some of my reviews, others do not fit anywhere yet, but more is coming ☺️

[Edit~A]

I finished 2 +4 categories, but we need to finish one more to get a new card, this one - ---2. Blue One - 'Blue: One Love' - Read books written by author's named 'Antony', 'Costa', 'Duncan', 'James', 'Lee', 'Ryan', 'Simon', or 'Webbe'. (These names can also make up part of the author's name, for example 'Colleen Hoover' ) (These names can be either first name or last name.)

we need two books to cross this
