Other than that, each team has their own SS. Please let me know if you can't access it before October 1st!
Mod
Gotcha! Team Pete you are all checked in!
Guys I'm gonna make some edits to the spreadsheet to make it a little easier hopefully :)
Alaina, I can't actually access the spreadsheet it says I don't have access to it?
Since everyone has checked in, yay team, I thought maybe we should share approximately how much we read as my last team had people who read 2 a month to almost one a day, which helps with planning and expectations.
Mod
I thought I made it sharable.. hmm let me look.
Mod
It will let me open it but I only have "view only" access :/ I don't know I've never had it do that to me.

Usually a book a day during the week and can usually finished 3-6 on the weekends. I hear you on that, my current team half of the people are mia :/ I'm glad it seems like we have a team that will be active. :) I think I have like 45ish books for the month currently.
I also love to set up BR :)

I like BR but am new to this group and most of the BRs seem to be more romance based.
Ladies I changed the spreadsheet a tiny bit I created a duplicate SS so that we could keep track of what we have completed easier. I also created my own sheet for the books I plan to read so its easier for me to keep track of where they can go...if anyone else wants one let me know and I'll make one for someone else :)
Mod
No problem!

I will read just about anything. Let me know what you're planning and we can set up some BR. TBH I have learned that is the only way to do really well in a challenge is BR the crap out of everything lol 😂😂😂

I read between 8 to 12 a month .I am not following any TBR . I suck at that =D .I love Fantasy and contemporary.
Nicole wrote: "Lexi wrote: "Nicole wrote: "Lexi wrote: "Since everyone has checked in, yay team, I thought maybe we should share approximately how much we read as my last team had people who read 2 a month to alm..."I mostly read mystery, fantasy and science-fiction. Though, I am kind of burned out on high fantasy right now so less of that. I read the least romance or contemporary. TowerTeams over in another group was the first time I really did BRs for points. it just hasn't seemed to work well over here but I may also be less motivated to win. My princess team is basically three people so we are so small that my goal is not to come in last.
Lexi I'm always down to br any mystery. I have a few to read next month already. have you ever read any of blake pierces books?
Woot woot. I will have more time in October to read. This month I had to many days at work.

So I have changed the ss a little. I think its a little more user friendly for those of us who use our phones to post on the ss. Also I am working on putting in a formula so that it will calculate the points for the book when you put in the number of pages it is. We will see if I can get it to work correctly :)
Also added a place to put the link for you review on the banked books sheet, so if something comes up where it will fit and the person isn't on we can find the review easier and post it for them :)
alright fixed it. When you put page numbers into sheet, it will calculate the points for it. also when you choose "yes" under BR it will calculate the points for a BR as well. :) if you click "no" or leave it blank no number will come up :) hopefully it makes it easier :)

Can I claim 1-3 books and may I highlight the current characters as it helps me find them quickly?
I already left the current characters with black and I changed the font color of the ones we dont have to an off white so its easier to tell which we have currently
If we highlight the current characters when we highlight the books we're claiming it's going to be a highlight mess, if that makes sense. Just highlight whatever books you're claiming :)
Nicole wrote: "I already left the current characters with black and I changed the font color of the ones we dont have to an off white so its easier to tell which we have currently"That works too, thanks
Of course. I've found it so much easier:)
Just letting you guys know that I haven't done a tbr for the month yet, but I'll try do one over the weekend to organise characters and buddy reads etc :)
I put a few books (4) into categories. Feel free to move them if its needed, try to move the non BR first since we get more points for BR :) I should have those 4 done by the 4th or 5th of the month :)
I read quite a bit, depending on my kids sports schedules I can read a book a day to every two days. When the books really interests me, I can read more than 1 a day. My goal would be at least 20 in October. I also have a few buddy reads set up and those challenge me to read also.
Nicole I love buddy reads! Maybe we can set up a few this month also that we know will fit into more than one category. Then when we both read them they can be used twice and we get the br pts each.
Erica great idea!!!! What type do you read and do you have any planned to read in october?
Are you gonna continue the badd brothers series I seen you read the one? Those should fit in multiple categories plus br points
