so I just put in my first review, do I have to fill out the points part of our spreadsheet or as long as I put completed yes and submitted the review in the Team Moana Review thread I can move on to my next book?
Jamie, Natalie and I are reading Skip Beat here as well. Here is the thread - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Mod
We, the mods, realized that the point system was different on the team's SS than it was on our actually sign-up thread. So if possible, please change the page point system (on the first tab of the SS) to the following:
PAGE POINTS:
100 - 149 -> 1 pts
150 - 249 -> 2 pts
250 - 349 -> 3 pts
350 - 449 -> 4 pts
450 - 549 -> 5 pts
550+ -> 6 pts
Please and thank you!
Hey guys, just checking in with everyone. Here's what we have completed so far:
Snow White: 2/4 - I will be finished with A Gathering of Shadows tonight so then it will be 3/4.
Ariel: 3/4
Tiana: 0/4
Ariel should be 3/4 completed.I am starting my next book, This Last Kiss today so should be done that one hopefully by tomorrow night, Thursday probably the latest. It is under Tiana.
Dang typos, haha in my head I knew Ariel was 3/4. I have updated it.
Hi! The second book I was going to do for Tiana still hasn't come through from the library so I've had to take myself off for it - I'm having a look around for anything else I can read for Tiana that I can easily access but it does mean that there is a Tiana slot open if anyone can take it? I'll have a couple books banked for other characters in the mean time ⭐️
Hi again, just realised the main character in the book I'm reading atm is a waitress so I can fulfil the requirement! Hope everyone's reading is going well :)
I just have a quick question about the categories. I saw the book for Tiana has F, R, O, G in the title doesnt have all the letters in it, does it have to have all of htem or just some? I know we have a few others that similar requirements so just want to ensure I am picking the correct books for those
@Erica I'm seeing all of the letters: A Darker Shade of Magic
Oh haha didnt see the f in of lmao...so yes it needs all of them?
Lol. Yeah for things like that, the whole word needs to be in the title
Megan I saw you read Zoo by Patterson, do you have any other Patterson books you want to read? Hes one of my favs and maybe we can do a buddy read of it. I have the book Zoo also but not sure how it works if you just completed it
@Nalz Which book are you currently reading? I finished mine and have one with an apple on the cover I can start to finish off Snow White's category but don't want to start if you are already almost finished that one.

I plan to finish it tonight or tomorrow :)

I’m a little unclear on the scoring but so finished a book called The Wrath and the Dawn which may or may not fit a character requirement.Pls let me know and i’ll write a review :)"Go through the characters that we have and read through the requirements, if it fits in one then add it into there, if not then add it to the banked books. Still put your review in so we can get teh page points either way
YAY we now have four completed in Tiana!!! Does anyone know if we need to finish 4 in each of the character cards we were given before getting new ones or just one at a time is fine too?
I think it was just one at a time. Guess we will find out when we get pts totalled
Mod
I believe now that I got my review in, Snow White is now done! :D
@Bookbuyer - I’m currently reading The Ocean At the End of the Lane which I was going to put down as a banked book but saw that it fits the water on cover criteria for Ariel which would mean we’d completed all three character categories. Would it be alright to put it down as an Ariel book or are you almost done with Gunmetal Magic and would prefer me to bank the book for now? I don’t mind either way 😊
So so far I have pretty much only been reading manga. I'll get us some page points with those at least. :S

Still need to post
Hi Team Moana!You finished your first three characters! :D
Here are your characters:
Aurora
Cinderella
Snow White (last four categories)
Mod
You finished your first three characters! :D
Here are your characters:
Aurora
Cinderella
Snow White (last four categories)"
WOW! All three at one time?!? CONGRATS!
Anna, I moved your Brooklyn book to Aurora so if you could just post it. I was goign to use that spot to finish the category but moved mine to Cinderalla since it worked there too. :)
@Jamie hahaha I was wondering who was in the spreadsheet with me. I kept seeing things randomly move!
Sorry, I was putting my finished book in then saw Anna needed a spot that would help so I moved mine. Didn't mean to freak you out. So weird seeing it move like that isn't it?
Jamie wrote: "Anna, I moved your Brooklyn book to Aurora so if you could just post it.

Just make sure to bold the words of the person who you're posting for. (:
Do you think the Hobbit will count as a book featuring dwarfs?
Mod
Yes.
and one other question, I have the book Private Paris by James Patterson which has a lady in a red dress on it, but on goodreads teh most rated version is a different cover, does it still count?
Mod
Yes, because the most rated version is just for page points. You can use any book cover edition that fits a category.
@Jamie - I've just put Brooklyn into the review thread so that's all sorted, thanks for fitting the book in! :)
Just putting in an update, picked out my 3 books for the new cards. Am about halfway through the first and hope to finish the other two by Wednesday.
@Kaya - Hi! I hope you don't mind - I'm just going to add your review for The Cruel Prince to the review thread as I noticed you'd finished it for the Aurora category :)
Hi Team Moana! You've finished Aurora. Your new character is Belle! :D
Anna - I moved The Healer's Apprentice to Belle from the Banked Books :)I also moved my As Old as Time from to Belle from Cinderella since we more than 4 listed for Cinderella.
Anna wrote: "@Kaya - Hi! I hope you don't mind - I'm just going to add your review for The Cruel Prince to the review thread as I noticed you'd finished it for the Aurora category :)"Okay, thank you!! I've been meaning to do that but it's been slipping my mind
@Jamie Currently we are 5/8 for snow white, 4/4 for Cinderella (you are waiting to post the review), 3/4 for Belle
Erica, since no one is using the completed date comment so we know if posted I cannot tell on a phone whether they are saying yes to a BR or Yes to completed. and it is a major problem to scroll that far. So I was trying to ask Felicia, as a mod, if she can mark that progress when she updates since she has to keep track of that anyways. I don't know why you seem to possibly have a problem with that on the review thread. I am just getting frustrated with the challenge and not enjoying since everyone is just doing their own thing on the sheet and am stressed enough in RL I don't need a reading challenge to add stress so I was hoping that having Felicia do that might make this challenge worth trying to continue.
I dont have a problem with you posting it lol I am just providing where to find the information. But okay, have a great day :)
@Jamie to organized the spreadsheet a little, I am adding the dates when it was completed, also for Snow White the MC has black hair, have you started it yet? If not, I can read that category :)
I can include in the review thread at the bottom of the scores post what you still have left.This is supposed to be a fun team oriented challenge, it's not supposed to stress anyone out. If anyone has a problem with the way the challenge is going or their team, let me know and I will either take you out of the challenge or move your team. This is a stress free group. This is not YA Buddy Readers. Please keep it that way. (:
Hi Team Moana!You've finished Cinderella! Congrats! :D
Your new character is: Bambi!
You have 3 left for Snow White. And 1 left for Belle. And now 4 for Bambi.
<3
