Actually, Kate has not posted both of her reviews for board 2. I just checked the review thread and I wasn't able to find her reviews. She didn't participate in the first board, so maybe she is not aware that she has to post her reviews in the thread. Could someone check with her on private message maybe? I'm at a family thing right now, so I don't have a lot of time atm...

Thanks, Kate, for posting your reviews!Now we're only missing @Jaguane's review of Clockwork Angel :)
Ah doing the review now.. will have it posted in a few
Jaguane wrote: "Ah doing the review now.. will have it posted in a few"Great, thank you! :)
Great! We can now start posting reviews for the third board
Which bord was thunderhead moved to?
Jaguane wrote: "Which bord was thunderhead moved to?"Board 3, letter S.
Sky in the deep is on board 4, letter A.
NEW BOARD: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
@Mara, I moved some stuff around, so that you can take a spot on board 3 with the book you've finished. I filled in your name and the title, so nobody else would take the spot. You can fill it in completely and post your review on the review thread whenever it suits you :)

@Mara: I was wondering if you could find someone to BR "A Reaper at the Gates" with? Since buddy reading gives us double the points, it would be super effective for a letter that is four times on the board :)I'm trying to find someone to BR The Last Town with, but that book isn't that popular... If someone has a BR for L, just take my spot. I can move to C then :)
We did a BR this month. There were two one series and one individual

That way you've got a chance of earning more points if you hit a big number ☺"I generally suck at finding BR, so you can dump my books at a spot that has fewer letters if you want (I don't even look at the 'times on board' count when I plan them, just where the letter fits ). Or scrap that book, I still have a few other titles to read anyway
I'm not sure if either of these are too late. I would highly suggest reading it

This week I'm very busy. I'm afraid that I will not be able to finish 'In The Afterlight' and 'Never Fade' before 28th. So I moved those two books to Board 5. Now letter 'I' in Board 4 is unclaimed.

Hey guys! I'm nearly finished with Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire where would you like to put it at? Should be finished in a couple days!
Hi, Heather!We have a spreadsheet where everyone can put the books they're planning to read. There should be a link on the first page of the team chat. If you have any trouble understanding the spreadsheet, just let us know and we'll help you :)

Oh no, we're still a Just For Fun Team and I won't tell you you can't read a book because it's not giving us enough points.
Have you tried using the "Wanted: Reading Buddies" thread in this group? I'm pretty sure since A Reaper at the Gates is a very recent book, you'll find someone to read it with :)
And if you don't (or just don't want to buddy read it), it's fine, too :)

I think the second one will work, as it's a series read-along. Thanks a bunch!

You’re welcome. Was looking through comments

Hey Mara I hope you don't mind but I moved "The Magician's Nephew- C.S. Lewis" on the 5th board to letter M. Just letting you know!
Hey guys I’ve been busy with my classes starting back this week so I am a little behind with thunderhead I am still reading it but if somebody else has a book to use before I finish it feel free to do so.
We'll keep it in mind. Thanks for letting us know :)The same goes for me and Sleeping Giants. If someone wants to move some things around, feel free to do so.
Going with a same here, college starts next week for me so I won't have loads of time to read (though I expect to finish all my planned books, as audiobooks are seriously life-savers). But if books are in the way, move them. (I think there will be a lot of shuffling anyway with the end coming quite near)Btw, we still have two Bonus Letters(?) left, so we should consider how we're going to use those to wrap up the boards.
We should definitely use them to finish a board if possible!
No problem 😊 An at Mara lol I’ll be done with college in about a year an a half and even after all this time I still forget how much work I have to do to get myself organized the first few weeks.
I did get sky in the deep in audio so I’ll definitely be listening to it
I won't be able to read Stray so "S" on Board 5 is open! =)The teams for September's challenge are up! Who's in next month's challenge?
I moved Jaguane's Sky in the Deep to the 5th board, letter Y. Tomorrow I'll take a proper look, but if we shuffle things around we should be able to complete the board using the books already finished that are currently on the other boards.
Or we could leave the board as it is. At this rate, we will finish two boards at once. and we could use 2 bonus letter on the last board.
I'm reading We Are Okay by Nina LaCour! It doesn't fit a letter yet but I thought I'd let y'all know in case you were moving stuff around. It won't be long until I finish it :)
Aaw, that was fast! Thank you to the teammate who placed my book on Board 5 :)I'm about to beat my record of how many books I've read in a month (record is 5!). I want to know! How was this month for y'all? Was it good?
Gabi wrote: "I'm reading We Are Okay by Nina LaCour! It doesn't fit a letter yet but I thought I'd let y'all know in case you were moving stuff around. It won't be long until I finish it :)"Congrats! Same here! Record used to be 8, now I have hit 10 already (though I read a lot of short books. Last month I nearly read as many pages, but there were just 6 books).
I'm not sure who moved stuff on the 5th board around, but it would be a lot more effective if my book The Kiss of Deception stayed on T, because it's 200 more pages and a buddy read and T is four times on the board while E is there only twice :)
I actually found a way to move everything around :)

That is awesome, Mara! And I count short books too! I think the only books I don't count are children's books, the ones I read to my little brother and sister before bed, because then I'd have to raise my reading goal by like 50. :D
GridGirl wrote: "I actually found a way to move everything around :)"Thank you, GridGirl! I really think we are crushing this challenge. I can't wait to see the scores! Betchya we get first place!
