I only need to read one for about 400 pages and do have a book I was really looking forward to reading and can finish quickly, but it also works for a lot of other numbers so I can do it for the next round :)
I'll get started reading it and then maybe your book would work better for this round?
No if you still want to do it you can I just have one banked that is a BR and has bonus I think it will be 15 points but I can use it in round 2. I just thought I would offer so that you could focus on your other numbers!

I hope to finish my last book for round 1 today
I have 2 more books, but I have to physically read them. They're short, so I'll do my best to finish them this weekend.
Lol we are getting smoked on the scoreboard. What are we doing wrong I’m not familiar with the best practices when it comes to challenges like this?
We need to get the first round finished then we will pick up a lot of points with all the books that have already been read. The only books the already read books don't cover are 35,37,46 (I will finish this one today) and 70. How are those who have these numbers going will they be done soon or can someone else read them for you?
Any book that get replace by already read books can be moved to round 2 if you still wish to read them that way no one will miss out on reading there choice of books.

Yeah, that's why I said let's go ahead with our booked books, and even if the person who was assigned the books started it already, they will use it for R2. I have 2 more reviews to post and I am done with R1 reviews.
Hi Tiera, sorry I’m just on my phone so can’t reply to you but are you still okay to do #70? Also I’ve got one more book to read that I’m hoping to be finished with by Monday morning that at the latest :)
I updated the SS based on Sarah's progress list as well. We are almost done. According to Sarah's post, these are the description that we have to finish.Part 2:
12. Read a book which has a title beginning with the letter 'L' to go left, or a book which has a title beginning with the letter 'R' to go right. ('A' and 'The' cannot be skipped.)
20. Read 923 pages (can be made up from more than 1 book).
(+5 bonus points if instead, you read a book in less than 9 hours and 23 minutes, (please remember to update on Goodreads when you start and when you finish, for your book to count).)
Part 4:
37. Read a book which has a title starting with the letter 'P' (for poison) ('A' and 'The' cannot be skipped).
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the word 'poison' in the title.)
38. Read a book which is not tagged 'romance' (at all).
Part 5:
41. Read a book with the letters 'B', 'O', 'E', and 'S' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book also has the word 'Eternal' in the title.)
46. Read a book which has the letter 'S' in the title.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has the word 'strange' in the title.)
Part 6:
54. Read a book which has the word 'out' in either the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has both the word 'get' and the word 'out' in the title or author's name.)
60. Read a book which has a door on the cover or the word 'door' in the title.
Part 7:
70. Read a book which is the final full-length novel in a series.
If you have banked books that you've already read, use them for these categories, or if you're done with your categories but haven't reviewed yet, please do so ASAP, so we can move forward. If you can't review now, but we have a banked book for that we should go with the banked one for R1, and the other review will be used for R2 instead so we won't waste time
R1 completed review for 46 has been posted
Yes I'm reading for #70 should finish it today, as well as my other 2. I had to wait on the scheduled BR on one and the other was an ARC that I couldn't post review publicly until about now so I held off finishing it so it would still be fresh.

If you ..."I'm down with posting my bank books but I noticed in some cases we have several books banked for a description so what do yall suggest we do with that?
Part 4 and Part 7 should be done today. Those are the ones I talked about above!
I'm 25% through my book for #54 and should finish today. I haven't started the book for #41. I do plan on reading it tomorrow, but if you guys want to fill in Tiera's banked book for it, that's fine. Whatever helps us finish categories
I can use the banked if you want. Noone else has anything banked for round 2 in that description so you should be able to post it as soon as your done. Its going to take me a few to finish my last numbers and get the reviews up etc so if you haven't posted one for #41 by the time I'm done I'll post my banked there so we can move on to round 2. We are pretty far behind description wise if we can just make it to round 2 I'm hoping we can catch up or at least even the playing field a bit.

Guys we could knock out Round #1 today if we do the following:Tiera - you can take #12 with your banked book
We could use my "proven guilty" book for #37
Tiera - you could use your banked book for #38
Tiera - you have a banked book for #41 (with bonus) - Aly that one's yours right now
Aly has started #54 or we could use Tiera's banked book
I'll post my book for #60
Aly has a banked book for #70
I'll post my book for #60. Up to y'all if we want to finish Round #1 per above strategy.
When we get to round 2 can I please have Elusion put in #52 it has already been posted Sarah is just waiting on a new position for it and I can't find anywhere else for it to go. I am going on a 8+ hour drive leaving in a few minutes so all you need to do is tell Sarah Message 35 goes into round 2 #52 if thats ok with you all. The down side it was not a big book as it was part of the 200-300 page description. See you all when I get back have a fun day team.
Great! I'll update Round 2 to include Gillian's book mentioned above.
Ok so what is the plan for the banked books in round 2? I see that some descriptions have more than one banked book and I've moved the ones I had off of number 52 and 22 since those are already taken by Gillian and Alex.
Was 22 the death tag one? In that case, my book doesn’t count! Someone else is welcome to use it instead.And I’m about 75% through my book for 20! I’ll finish it hopefully tomorrow morning and then post the review :)
Ok I need everyone to go through there Banked books and Pick one number to Bank for on the Banked/Already Read Tab. On the Banked Tab you can list the other numbers your book might work for that way we can actually see what numbers we have done and what we still need. Because we have multiple books listed more than once in the multiple spots they work for, I'm hoping if we narrow it down then see if we can fit everyone's banked books into round 2.
Then I do have a book to read for it, if that’s okay? But if someone has already read read a book and it fits that description I don’t mind finding another description to read x
I should be reading my book for #12 tomorrow if you want me to still read that and not use a banked book for that task.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "I should be reading my book for #12 tomorrow if you want me to still read that and not use a banked book for that task."yes go ahead and do your number 12. Noone else has anything banked for it so I'll just post it in round 2!
I read Insurgent as a BR and it's tagged death 86x. Do you want me to use that one for #22? I already read it.
So we should be done with round one by tomorrow according to everything I've read today right?
Jammin Jenny wrote: "I read Insurgent as a BR and it's tagged death 86x. Do you want me to use that one for #22? I already read it."We don't need one for 22 on round 1 only round 2. So you can bank it there for now. Can you go through the SS on Banked/Already Read Tab and place your banked books on just one description? I noticed that there are several spots where you have a book listed on a slot noone else has anything for and on a slot someone else has something listed for. I need to see if I should move some of my banked books around if possible or not.
Okay - I updated my books so they are only listed once in the banked page.
Ok I ran out to grab a bite to eat. I’ll look at my books when I get back if we have any on the same description I’ll see if I can find a new spot for mine!
Ok Jenny I moved my 2 books off your descriptions as I found somewhere else I could shove them since they weren't BR or +Bonus reads. I picked spots noone else had anything banked for.. unfortunately It was spots that fit the description but not the bonus, but I didn't know where else to stick them.. I hope that is ok with you guys!
Aly I can't find anywhere else to put my book Cinder thats banked in #3 that isn't already taken and since your banked book is also a BR I don't want either of us to loose those points is there any way we could move your #3 banked book to 9 or #21? We wont get the bonus but I can't find anywhere else I could stick that one.
OK i see #12 (Jenny is reading now), #20 (Alex is reading now) and #48 need to be completed to be done with round 1. No one has said anything about #48 and on Sarah's progress page its not marked off so I'm going to use my banked book for it so we can move into round 2 tomorrow!
Please, instead of making changes on the banked sheet, just go ahead and take round 2 slots, because it's easier to see what we have read on banked/already read and determine categories than it is in Banked. Those on already read might be used for R3 if we get there, which we might.
I updated the SS, only #12 and we are done with R1!! Good job team!!!
I am reading another ARC right now, sucks that this months ARCs, that I have to finish ASAP unlike my my usual ARCs that are fantasy mostly do not go with this challenge...
Edit~A wrote: "Please, instead of making changes on the banked sheet, just go ahead and take round 2 slots, because it's easier to see what we have read on banked/already read and determine categories than it is ..."Are you asking us to go ahead and put our books on the Round 2 slots?
