Hey guys did you all see Sarah's post on the review thread about a new spin? I believe our current one is a 9. What do you all think?

[Sanah]

I think we should just stay with the same spin bonus because there are more lower point values that we could get if we spin again. Just so I understand, if we keep our current 9 spin bonus, does that mean each of us posting views will get a 9 for our bonus? Like it'll be same for everyone?

[Jenn]

I believe so...

[✨Skye✨]

A 9 isn't too bad, I'm not sure though.

[Jenn]

9 is high on the spectrum, the only thing above it is one 15 and one 50. So we would definitely risk the chance of getting something lower.

[Raven]

Personally, I think we should stick with the current spin if it's a 9 :) I'll be home from my vacation tomorrow and I'll post the reviews for the books I have on board 2 then

[✨Skye✨]

I think stick with the 9 too and play it safe :)

[Sanah]

Just finished Leah on the Offbeat and now I'm reading Now I Rise. I start school tomorrow and will have less time for reading, but I still plan on reading every book I put my name on for the boards!

[Jenn]

Wait hold up! I think I read half of it wrong (my bad!). The last spin we had was 9 but if I'm reading her message right, she's going to spin again for the reviews we have now and then she's asking if we want her to spin again after that or stick with what that gives us. So we have no idea what we get on the next spin. Sorry, I read it as we get to keep the 9.

"Hello, as I'm behind on scores, you can choose whether I spin again after counting the above reviews, and score any reviews posted after this message under the new spin value, or you can stick with the spin value you receive for the above reviews, just let me know on this thread"

Oh yeah, you're right. In that case, can we see what the spin number is and then see if we want to keep it or spin again? Or do we have to decide right now?

[Jenn]

I think we have to let her know before the spin. That makes it more complicated to decide lol

[[deleted user]]

Just popping you. You have to let her know now

[Jenn]

Do you guys want to just have her spin again? Take a chance that out of 2 spins one is really good?

[Raven]

Okay, then I think we should spin twice just to be on the safe side if we happen to land on a 0

[Jenn]

That's what I was thinking. So if no one's opposed, I'm going to reply to Sarah and let her know to spin again after the first spin. Objections??

[Siobhan]

none from me

[✨Skye✨]

Hi guys! I have a little bit of a suggestion, but feel free to say no if you'd rather leave it as is. I've just noticed that we could actually complete every letter but I on board 2 with books we've already completed.

Uncompleted letters are:
I
G - Could put Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier there (Maria)
E - Could put The Leaf Reader by Emily Arsenault there (Siobhan)
N - Could put Scythe by Neal Shusterman (Skye)
S - Could put Top Shelf by Kelly Jamieson (Jenn)

I'm just thinking that of the 5 we have left to complete on board 2, 4 are currently Sanah's so it seems like a little unfair and extra pressure on her, plus we could probably complete it within a day or two if we do a reshuffle.

[✨Skye✨]

Actually, we could complete board 2 if we decide quickly! Sarah hasn't yet counted my And I Darken yet that has been posted, so we could put that for I and use Maria's Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier for K. I would have to post quickly to do that though before Sarah has done the scores.

[Raven]

Sounds good to me. I can get my reviews posted for those tonight at the latest. Then we can get the next board to plan :)

[✨Skye✨]

I've messaged Sanah directly to check she's okay with it as it's mostly her books that I'd have to move :)

[Jenn]

I'm completely fine with moving things around at anytime if books are completed so that way we can continue to move onto new boards :)

[✨Skye✨]

It doesn't look like Sanah has updated since Wednesday, so I'm going to go ahead and do it as I currently have Sarah waiting on me to give the go ahead for scores :) Everyone's books will still have a spot on the ss!

[✨Skye✨]

Spreadsheet is fully updated and board 2 is ready to complete :D Waiting on 1 from me which I'll post now, 4 from Maria, 1 from Jenn and 1 from Siobhan to complete.
I did have to move a couple of others around to fit everything back in so definitely check it, but everyone's books are still on there somewhere!

[Jenn]

Thanks Skye! I'm working on my review now and I added a bunch to the unused tab :) Let's flip some boards!

Great :D Mind Games is on board 4 for you btw :)

[Raven]

Okay, I'm home and ready to dive into these reviews. New board here we come!!

[Raven]

My 4 are posted :) Now we just need Siobhan's and board 2 will be done

[✨Skye✨]

Siobhan has written her review if someone wants to post it on the thread for her-I can't do it right now as I'm out and on my mobile :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Go Forth and Conquer, I just wanted to check something with you. Has Heather read books that she's not posted for later boards or something? Because we're at day 18 and she hasn't posted any reviews, and according to her profile she's just been reading manga which don't count. If you guys know something that I don't could you let me know please?

Thanks x

[✨Skye✨]

Hi Sarah, she had a book on board 1 that I ended up filling in for and has a couple of books on later boards, but I don't think she's finished anything yet. She has been in touch throughout the challenge on this thread :)

[Raven]

Hey Sarah, Heather has 2 spots on board 3 and 1 on board 4 but none of these books have been completed as far as I know.

[Raven]

And I can post the review for Siobhan :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, well I'll give her a few more days to post a review, but I am a little concerned that she's not really reading enough for a medium team.

[✨Skye✨]

I can sort the spreadsheet later on for our new board :)

[✨Skye✨]

I don't know if anyone has read the Wheel of Fortune thread, but we should be getting a new member :) Is everyone prepared to shuffle their books as much as required? I'm happy to move everything and solve the logical side as long as noone minds their books being bumped.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Go Forth and Conquer, I don't know if you've seen my message on the main thread, but we are splitting up Team You’ll Do Great, and its members will be joining other teams.

Leah from Team You’ll Do Great will be joining your team, I hope you'll make her feel welcome and help her with where she can use her books on your board ☺

I will complete the points transfer and everything a little later.

Thanks x

[✨Skye✨]

Welcome Leah :D

[Raven]

Hey Leah! Welcome to the team :)

And I'm fine with moving whatever to fit in some new books. Now let's flip those boards! Go team!!

[Jenn]

Welcome Leah!

And I am also fine with moving things around to fit books and maybe we can flip some more boards :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi guys, I've now moved Leah's points and books across to your review thread. Just post on there and tell me which book you'd like to use and for which letter and I'll sort it out for you ☺

(You might notice that there are only 4 books on there while on the other review thread there were 5, but it looks like one was accidentally counted twice, so the second count has been removed.)

[Raven]

I moved some things around on the spreadsheet and managed to fit 3/4 of Leah's books on our current board.

The changes I made were moving 3 books onto our 5th board. One from myself, one from Heather, and one from Sanah. If everyone is okay with that we can cross off a bunch of letters :)

[Leah]

A few other books that could be used for upcoming puzzles, depending on what's needed.

[Siobhan]

posted my review for O on board 3 and ive finished Carrie which can be used for C,S or K so ive put that in unused books for now and hopefully i can get a spot for it eventually :)

[Leah]

I added my reviews for U and T.

[✨Skye✨]

Hi guys-just let you know I'm working my way fairly quickly through Before I Go To Sleep and School for Good and Evil, I just don't get to read too much at weekends as I work :( I'll try to speed through them in the next few days! :D

[Raven]

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and say that I got my review for Fugitive Six up.

And btw, I cleared the D on our current board for you if you want to post your review for About a Dog, Leah :) Here's a link to the spreadsheet too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Also, I was wondering if anyone had heard from Sanah or Heather? Just because we're back to needing Heather's Stray, and Sanah has 3 books on our current board but I haven't seen them around lately.

[✨Skye✨]

I haven't, but I think if it comes to it we should just bump books as and when we finish and put those books on the unused tab, and that counts for anyone's :)

[Jenn]

I didn't read much over the weekend because of birthday shenanigans, but this week should be calmer so I'll be able to get through a lot more! :)

I agree :)

[✨Skye✨]

I finished School for Good and Evil if someone wants to mark it on the ss-i don't have access at the minute. Will write my review tomorrow :)
