Hi! ^-^
Hi! ^-^

I have a few buddy reads planned, but I have room for more. I'm open to reading any books on my want to read shelf or kindle cloud maybe shelf. :)

I'm not sure how to do that but if someone wants to they can. ^-^

So what I understand is we can use one book for the same letter no matter how many times that letter appears? So I'm just do a quick planning here until an SS is made. :)

It is then your team's job to fill in the letters on your board. You can do this by doing the following:
- Read a book of your own choice
- Make a note of the first letter of each word in your chosen book's title and author's name.
(Eg: Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting would give you 'D', 'O', 'T', and 'K'.
True Love and Other Disasters by Rachel Gibson would give you 'T', 'L', 'A', 'O', 'D', 'R', and 'G'.)
- Choose which ONE of your letters you would like to use for your book (so for Desires of the Dead you might choose 'O')
- Post your review for your book on your team's review thread along with your chosen letter. Eg:
- Please note:
* Your team will only need to read one book per letter, no matter how many times it appears in your current board. So for 'Sweet Evil', you could read Everneath, and cross all 3 E's off with that one book.
* You must use the original title for your chosen book, you may not use alternate editions for this challenge.

* When choosing titles, please note that only the original title counts. This means that books which have titles which are not made up of English letters will not count. It also means that for books which were originally published in a different language, such as Ruby Red, or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, those would also only count for their original titles - Rubinrot, and Män som hatar kvinnor respectively.
* When choosing titles, please also be aware that if your chosen title contains an colon ':', only the words before the ':' will count.

So I've inputted all my BRs into the SS since all of them are in the first week or so. One of them is the GBR so I could move it to the end if need be. :)

Or any books on my Want to Read shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Hoping the same thing. I love challenges like this, because they really push me to read as fast as I can. :D

Same. I have a shelf I'm focusing on but I keep changing it. I have no hope of getting to all of them but I like to have variety and I need some wiggle room with this challenge. :)

That's fine. If you could just try to use any of my later in the series books first. ^-^

Fine with me. :) I think if anyone finishes a book and there isn't a spot open that works, it should be okay to switch books around and make them work. :D

That works for me. :)
So I've decided to cave and do more BRs so we can get more points. I'm making up a shelf now and will post here first and then on the wanted br thread if I still want more. :)

Yay! Hopefully we will have books in common. :D

KK. Mirage doesn't come out till towards the end of the month so I will figure out a date for that in the morning. As for Hullmetal I think towards the beginning of the month might be good. I'll take a look at what we need for the puzzle. :)

So how about 28th for Mirage and we can do Hullmetal girls sometime in the second week like the 6th?
