@Edit-A can you go ahead and pick one book to put per description in the banked/already read tab? That way those of us who have books banked in the same description as yours can see if there is a spot to move or vice versa? That way come tomorrow we can start posting reviews for round 2?

I think we need to get one book/description first that way everyone can get their books in on round 2 if possible. I think Books that fit Bonus, and Buddy Reads or those that are both on the descriptions should take priority since it will overall give the team the most points. if there are 2 people with books banked that are BRs then we for sure need to find a slot to fit the BR even if a non BR book has to wait on round 3.
Looking at the scores, sorry about not being able to do as many bonus points this round guys! My book selection is limited to my shelf because our local library isn’t great so I’ll try make up for it by doing some more bonus points and buddy reads next round!
Really I keep looking at the banked/already read tab and if we can fit some of these banked books that are doubled up on descriptions off into the places that have no banked we can get round 2 done sooo fast. That is exciting! Me and Aly have a couple that are doubled up once Edit A gets hers in a spot then I can see if I can move some of mine that are doubled with hers to the spots she empties. I can't tell where to move them though yet.

On the SS you had a couple books listed in a description not taken so I erased them from other areas so that you weren't in the description doubled up with someone else. I'm still working on it though!

I put it all there so we can see what we have for that description, but yeah it's confusing
Edit~A wrote: "I put it all there so we can see what we have for that description, but yeah it's confusing"Yea the problem is not being able to see whats open so we can rearrange if needed. I'm not sure how we can get around it and make it easier though. It just seems like we can almost fly through round 2 if we could spread these out on all the descriptions. I think there is a little part of me holding out some hope lol.
I have another book coming, maybe 4 actually :/ I will put it on just 'Banked' sheet, maybe you can figure out where they fit from there?
Maybe we should start banking for round 3 now? i need the doubled up ones to fit somewhere where no one is lol

Same, I think we will be good! put * in front of the books, that fit in other descriptions (as 2nd or later choices) as well, in that way we will know that those descriptions can be open also if there is a book that fits only in that slot it can be taken.
Did you girls delete the Banked sheet?
Yea i just did and I made another Banked/already read for round 3 sheet instead
Ive almost got everyone's banked books a place for round 2 i've had to move peoples stuff around. Ive just got a couple that are really giving me issues.
I have almost finished a book that fits #1 with the bonus would you like me to put it into the round 2 SS as no one has a banked book for it?
I did it!! I made everyone's fit in Round 2! Sorry if I moved your things and sorry but I had to move my bonus stuff to areas where it doesn't get bonus but I made it all fit! Everyone double check to make sure where I shoved your books fits like I thought it did!
Gillian wrote: "I have almost finished a book that fits #1 with the bonus would you like me to put it into the round 2 SS as no one has a banked book for it?"YES Gillian!!
I have also finished
today and it was a buddy read. If you have a place for it on round 2 or 3 let me know I. I don't want to just add it as too many hands spoil the pot.
OK Gilli I made if fit but when you post the review use this cover
for the description 2 hands on the cover that way you can post it for round 2!
Tiera wrote: "OK Gilli I made if fit but when you post the review use this cover for the description 2 hands on the cover that way you can post it ..."Thanks
Everyone should now be able to add all their books to the round 2 spreadsheet and as soon as Alex posts for #20 we can start posting reviews! I'll see if I can't start finding stuff for the numbers we don't have.
I'm soooo excited to bust out round 2!!!🎉🎉🎉
That actually showed all the possible categories for each book :/ Ok I will send it here then and you fit wherever you please.
- 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 20, 33, 40, 42 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 52 (I need to read to see if she has a POV), 58, 65 (+Bonus), 66 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 67
- 2 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 18, 20, 23, 31, 33, 40, 42 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 46, 50 (+Bonus), 52, 58, 63 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 65 (+Bonus), 66 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 67
- 2 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 4, 5 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 7, 8, 10, 15, 16, 18, 20, 31, 33, 40, 42 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 50 (+Bonus), 52 (I need to read to see if she has a POV), 58, 63 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 65 (+Bonus), 66 (if I can use both title and author's name together, otherwise it doesn't work), 67, 70.
I have to finish all these three in these 3 by monday, so... shove it somewhere please :D some of them count for bonuses as well.
I’m sorry I had already made them all fit so I deleted it and made the next banked sheet so that if anyone had anything else they could put it up for round 3 unless it fit somewhere there wasn’t something already banked.
I’m also not sure which books your referring too. I got all the books we had on banked in though!
Sorry I had switched to mobile there and the covers weren’t loading!
Tiera wrote: "I’m sorry I had already made them all fit so I deleted it and made the next banked sheet so that if anyone had anything else they could put it up for round 3 unless it fit somewhere there wasn’t so..."We have still too many open spots for Round 2, that we might need to shuffle some books around later on, but anyways, I am gonna leave this here and start reading, you girls put them wherever you want. I am not as much after bonus points as just finishing the descriptions and moving forward, and I as you might have noticed (even years ago) I never aim for getting high points for me but the team in general, so I don't mind not having my bonus categories there :D
Tiera wrote: "Sorry I had switched to mobile there and the covers weren’t loading!"These are new books, that I am reading right now for Round 2
Ok you have 2 that will fit empty 31 and all 3 would fit empty 40 for round 2 the other would have to wait till round 3 so whichever ones you read first you can squeeze in there!
Ok, was able to put Hollywood Princess for 31, although the last book might work for that as well.*You put Aly's Hot one for 65, all these three books have Bonus for that one, so if she won't mind, using it for R3 instead we can get +5,
*Same with my own book, the Team Player for 50, 2 of my books have a bonus option instead, so I might switch them to get +5, and use TP for R3 instead
Tiera wrote: "Ok you have 2 that will fit empty 31 and all 3 would fit empty 40 for round 2 the other would have to wait till round 3 so whichever ones you read first you can squeeze in there!"40 is taken by you, but it's ok.
also, are all these banked book read yet, or you girls are planning to read them?
So sorry about 40 I was looking at mobile version and got confused. I wouldn’t switch it off round 2 without her permission cause there isn’t any guarantees we will make it to round 3 and I wouldn’t want something she already read to go to waste.
Also I’ve got read dates by all mine so you can see how long it’s been banked though I’m not the best at reviewing things right after I read it lol
Tiera wrote: "Also I’ve got read dates by all mine so you can see how long it’s been banked though I’m not the best at reviewing things right after I read it lol"Oh, no I won't change without her knowledge and approval, but if all of these are read, then we definitely will be done by R2 and can move to R3 :)
Also, thank you SOOOO MUCH for doing this! <3 Should we move al or books to R2 sheet if they are finished? So we will have a clear picture of what we have to do then

Also Aly put Hot one on 65 and it comes with the +5 bonus points as well according to the spread sheet. I didn't go through and check everyones stuff
Yea I'd say go for it and move your stuff to the round 2 spreadsheet. Now that there aren't any doubles it should be fine!

Understandable! It's a lot, again THANK YOU!
Sorry guys. I've been out the whole day so haven't been able to post the review but I'll be doing it now!
Yay just waiting on #12 from Jenny! I think this is the most excited I've been all month. I was just thinking while I was color coding the spreadsheet for round 2 how stupid awesome it would be if we knocked our round 2 in one day. I don't think its gonna happen but what if lol! I had to bank
for round 3 since it was an ARC someone sneaked in and romance tagged it after I had picked it for that description lol.
Once everyone gets their books up for round 2 We should have 9 numbers left! I'mm try my best to get us to round 3. That is my goal!
Wow, a lot has happened lol. I've been working 7 days a week so I'm sorry I'm not on here as much. Thank you to all of you for being awesome! And shout out to Tiera for filling in the spreadsheet :)
I am definitely going to read my book for #41 because I specifically bought it on Amazon just for that category ha. And it does get the bonus
Thanks for all the work you've put in Tiera!
Spread sheet for Round 2 is Ready for use I added everyone's books and Round 3 Banked Sheet is up and running. If you are looking for Banked/Already Read tab for round 2 I just moved it to the end of the tabs so you may have to scroll over to see it on the list of tabs at the bottom of the SS
