Team Have You Seen Me (F) - Chat

[Leah]

I've already got one of my books and have ordered the rest.

[Ashley W]

I have all my books. I also have a few buddy reads that won't fit my current lines An Ember in the Ashes Forbidden Daughter of Isis The Lost The Giver and Batman. If anyone needs to use one dos their line let me know or I will save them for the next lines

[Ashley W]

[Elise]

I've started filling out the google doc so we can keep track of everything that we have done and need to do. I am having a hard time finding a book for the word "deliver" does anyone have any book recs?

[Ashley W]

I don't know of any but I will keep a look out. If nothing else you can spell it. My extra buddy reads that I posted have every letter but v and r so you are welcome to use them. Just let me know when I post. There are a few titles I found with deliver but they look pretty adult themed.

[Lesa]

@Elise Here's a few titles that has the word "deliver"
in them. Not sure if any apart of a series you can click to see. Deliver Us Deliver Us from Evil Deliver Us from Evil Deliver Us from Evil Deliver Us From Evil Deliver Us from Temptation: The Tragic and Shocking Story of the Temptations and Motown Deliver Us

[Ashley W]

Thanks, Wolf! Are you in this challenge?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No, Wolf is currently banned from our challenges, and she's not supposed to be commenting on any of our challenge threads either.

[Ashley W]

Oh 😕 sorry

[Ashley W]

Hey, guys I think Sarah wants the word we're skipping. Anyone have a preference?

[Elise]

I was thinking levee?? It appears quite a bit and so it would take a lot of books to complete.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm okay with levee too.

[Ashley W]

Okay. I'll wait a few more hours and if no one disagrees, I'll let Sarah know.

[erin]

Which lines are left? I still need one to pick, but I'm not completely sure which ones are taken. I won't have that much time next month to read, so I can only do one line. I can pick the books out tonight and tomorrow if I know which words :)

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

It looks like 11 or 15 is all that's left.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Adding Melanie to your team ☺

[melanie]

hi, I’m Melanie. I’m pretty sure I’m taking lines that haven’t been claimed yet.

[Lesa]

We have line 11 and 15 left.

I also see Jordan checked in but never got a line. Not sure who else didn't get a line.

[erin]

I'll work on 11! Let me see what books I can find that fit, and if I can't cover all of the words Melanie could take some of them if she wants

[Lesa]

How's everyone doing for day 1?
I should have 2 books up in our review thread later. Maybe 3. Started two books after midnight and finished both started another book got about 130 pages left to read so counting on 3 books.

[Ashley W]

I finished my first buddy read and I'm working on number 2

[Leah]

I should have one done tomorrow.

[Elise]

I should be done with my first book tomorrow too!! As soon as I am done with finals week I will be able to pick up the pace.

[Elise]

So I started children of blood and bone yesterday and didn't realize that a buddy read for it starts today. Does anyone know if I can join the buddy read even though I started reading yesterday?

[Lesa]

Yeah you can join anytime this month. You started yesterday cool meaning you not late. Some people start buddy reads days later or early. Just long as it's in the same month you reading to count for your buddy read points. Just keep updating with your reading updates in the buddy read group as often as you can. You good Elise. Happy reading.

[erin]

I've been really busy with school this week, but I know by this weekend I'll be able to get a book read. But until we finish one of the other lines, I don't think my points count for line 11 because it isn't open yet. Is that how it works?

[Lesa]

Your points counts with words, letters. We get more points when a whole line is complete. It'll take a minute for that for sure since most has long lines.
I've been doing letters from my lines but I do want to do words too. Reason I'm doing letters because it's more points plus it's the only way to fit in the books I had planned this month.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello ☺ Just to let you know that I'm adding Toni to your team ☺

[Toni]

Can some one fill me in on how everything works so i can get started

[Lesa]

Toni wrote: "Can some one fill me in on how everything works so i can get started"

Hey Toni welcome I believe line 15 is available I'm not sure. Ashley been bolding them on page 1 here. If you read the rules for American Pie Sarah put up then you just take those rules and go ahead and read books that fit your word or letters. Once you read you post in our chat your review with page count and your word or letter. I hope this makes sense. I say read Sarah rules that's the best way to understand she breaks it down a lot

[Toni]

I’ll try to understand thanks

[Toni]

Where would her rules be?

[Lesa]

This is line 15....
(15) Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

Let me get the link to the rules.

[Toni]

Thanks

[Lesa]

Here's the link...
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...



Example your line (15) Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.

Meaning you can find books with like the word My as the title read it and that word MY will be crossed off.

I say read Sarah rules. It'll be clearer than me lol


Don't do LEVEE that's our SKIP word.

[Lesa]

This link is where we post our reviews for our group points.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Toni]

Okay so let me get this straight for each word in the line we have to read a book with that word in it?

[Lesa]

Toni wrote: "Okay so let me get this straight for each word in the line we have to read a book with that word in it?"

Yes. Or you can use the letters instead. Example my line is A LONG, LONG TIME AGO

So far I did A - A Court of Frost and Starlight
In LONG I used the letter G - Graceling
I still have to used LON
Plus I have to use the second LONG I can use it for letters or find a title that had LONG in it.
I just did the word TIME - The Time of Contempt
And now I need to do AGO either letters or find a title with AGO in it.

Plus I have a second line too BAD NEWS ON THE DOORSTEP
And so far for that line I used B in BAD, S in NEWS, and DOORS

[Toni]

Okay so how do we know who picked which line so we won’t double up ? ( sorry for all the questions i just want to make sure I’m doing things right this is my first time doing something like this)

[Lesa]

On the first page in this thread. Ashley has names bold by the lines. Plus in the review thread that second link I put above shows our points and shows which lines are being done.

And no worry ask away. If you ready to start a book and you want to make sure it fits your line you can ask if so.

[Toni]

Okay thanks i really appreciate it

[Toni]

Ill take just 15 for now since I'm just starting off

[Toni]

One last question how do we put up reviews

[Ashley W]

Hey, guys. Sorry I've been slacking. I'm reading four buddy reads right now, so it'll take me a minute to get some finished and posted but I am reading. Hope everyone had a great week!

It's fine Ashley. Happy reading.

Toni wrote: "One last question how do we put up reviews"

Some people do do reviews. If you don't do reviews update your status read on the book every so often. Like page 50 then say you write, book is so good etc. It'll show your update on the book even if you don't do reviews because you'll have to link your review to our review thread showing proof you read the book it'll show your starting day and finishing day on book you read.

[Toni]

Made my first review update 😍

[Toni]

How are you guys reading these books so fast i feel like it takes me forever to read 1 book 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[Lesa]

Toni wrote: "How are you guys reading these books so fast i feel like it takes me forever to read 1 book 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️"

Lol....I'm a very fast reader lol. I started a 700 and something page book yesterday and finished tonight. It's nothing for me. A few people in this group ask why I'm never on the serious teams. I just read for fun. Plus never know how my schedule go be it can switch up or I can go on a book slump. This month I've read 10 books so far. Last month I think was 28 books. 200 is my yearly goal. My hubby hates buying me books because he says to me how about you go hang out at the bookstore read the book while you are there lol.
