Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I'm currently reading The Name Of The Wind and Beartown.
Beartown should be finished by the 14th and The Name Of The Wind should be finished by the 15th if not 16th for sure.

Hi Team Knock 'em Dead, just to let you know that Lane has offered to join your team to replace Jackie. She is currently a solo player, so I will move her points over to your board, and make a list of the books that she has read so that you can plan ☺


message 56: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments Hello and Welcome Lane :D


message 57: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Hi everyone! Happy to be here :)


message 58: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments We do have a doc to keep everything in order if you need me to repost it I will and feel free to start putting your books there :)


message 59: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments Hi Lane!! Welcome to the team!!


message 60: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I'm going to try and get The Poet X for our second board


message 61: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments @Ashy - Do you want to post Hawksong for the H in the current puzzle? I just finished my book, but I can post it for a later puzzle. That way you get on the board with some points.

Hi Lane, welcome!


message 62: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments I just finished Stray by Rachel Vincent - I can use that for V in the current puzzle IF we need it (I can wait too). I know Lane is reading the same.

I'm really hoping that our 4th board will have some easy letters so we can fill in some of our banked books. I feel like I have a ton of Ts, Rs and Ss, but nowhere to put them.


message 63: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments Yeah same here I looked at all of my books and couldn't find a X. I will have to go to the library sometime this week to see if I can get the book I plan on reading but if someone finds a book and reads it before me go ahead and take it. I'll still read it but ill save it just incase we get another X book.


message 64: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Go for it Jennifer!


message 65: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Yay! When Ashy posts her books for E and H, we will be done with the 2nd board!

I have an X on my to read list. I can cover that one.


message 66: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments Sweet and I was just getting ready to say about the E and H. You beat me to it! Haha


message 67: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Ha! Great minds!

I also updated our worksheet. I moved some of my stuff around and opened up the A in the 3rd puzzle (Lane, it looks like you have a few that would fit there). It also looks like we still need an N and U for that puzzle. Does anyone have anything they can fit in? (Fingers crossed) I can always read a short, 100 page, non-BR from KU if we need to fill those in order to move on.


message 68: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments Let me look


message 69: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I have N I have nothing for U but I do want to go to my library and see if they have The Rest of Us Just Live Here


message 70: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Okay I took the A, just finished Armada :) Didn't want to claim it in case someone finished an A before me!

You should be good to post it when the time comes :)


message 72: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I messaged Ashy to see if everything is alright. I looked and saw she has books finished and at least 2 Reviews up. Do you guys want to wait and see if she replies before posting them for her or what?


message 73: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Yes, let’s give her a chance to post her books.


message 74: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments I started my book for X and should be done tonight or tomorrow.

I also found a book that will work for the U in the 3rd puzzle.

Ashy - what other books do you have coming up this month?


message 75: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments how's everyone's reading going?


message 76: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments I've got more books read than we have places for.

Sierra, are you ready to post the Outsiders? If so, I think we should post that and my Lost Hero to complete the current puzzle. I'll move Ashy's books down to the next puzzle for the same letters, and hopefully, she can post them soon. I don't want to alienate anyone, but we are off pace with the other serious teams and need to pick up our momentum.


message 77: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I'm ready to post whenever, just give me the word


message 78: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I agree with you Jennifer I don't want to alienate anyone either and yes we are. Hopefully we will get back into it very soon though.


message 79: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Ok, I also posted the books that I had ready to go for puzzle 3. I am finished with the X, I just need to write my review up. I gotta go pick my kids up from practice, but I'll post it later tonight.

Alright sounds good! I'll post the books I have currently finished now as well.


message 81: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mariampillai | 10997 comments I finished We’ll Always Have Summer. Just have to do the review tonight and I will have that book on hold.


message 82: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments New board is up and on the doc feel free to start taking letters! :)


message 83: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments thanks Sierra!

Has anyone heard from Ashy?


message 84: by Sierra (last edited Aug 16, 2018 08:39AM) (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments Welcome! :) I heard from her and she said she's going to talk to Sarah.

Hi guys, just to let you know that I still haven't heard from Ashy Khaira. I've messaged her again and asked her to let me know if she's still taking part or not, within 24 hours, or I will look to replace her on the team. I'll let you know if I hear anything ☺

Thanks Sarah! :)


message 87: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments OMG I just realized I won't have Wi-Fi this weekend. I am going camping this weekend with my boyfriend and of course im brining books lol. I will log in a little on my phone, don't want to use up to much data.


message 88: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments If we move some finished books around, we could get our current board finished today


message 89: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I have E and H finished, I just need to type my reviews and ill be posting when im finished


message 90: by Lane (new)

Lane (crookshanksandcoffee) | 1280 comments Awesome! Sharon, can I switch out your T with a finished book so this board is finished?


message 91: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments I just posted my R and H. I have some stuff to do, shouldn't take me long and then ill post E, and then all we have to do is get T and we can move on.

Ashy I moved switched your H with my H in the next puzzle and your E book is on hold.


message 92: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Yes, let's try to let finished books take the priority. I've marked a few potential changes in orange on the sheet for the next puzzle, filling some spots with finished books. I'm sure there are more that could work too. -- or not! It is just a suggestion, still not trying to ruffle feathers.

The top two teams are pretty far out of reach unless we get lucky with the 50 point spin like one of them did. We are just barely ahead of the 4th place team. It's so frustrating when we have so many read books just waiting to be posted. Ah well, we can just keep reading, right?


message 93: by Sierra (new)

Sierra Lynn | 2274 comments yeah it is and of course keep reading maybe we will get luck and when we end up finishing one board have the next already finished as well!

If anyone wants to take a spot I have you may, just please tell me so im not trying to post that letter as well :P

I just posted the letter E so now all we have is T and then we can move on.

I will be out pretty much the rest of today and im not sure of how much tomorrow, but I will be reading and like I said if you guys finish books and you can finish the next board while I am away feel free to finish that board, I can always find places for the books later :)


message 94: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments I'm going to be busy this weekend too (hosting back to back pool parties for the end of summer, yikes!), but I'll post everything on Monday that I need to post. I think I only have one book for the next puzzle and I'll have it ready.
