Hello, everyone! I’m here & ready to go! What’s everyone planning on reading?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Sir Didymus, just to let you know that María will be joining your team ☺

Hey Frankie! I already kinda listed what I'm gonna read. One description from every part. Is this okay though? 😂

I could try the challenge of reading a book before 13hs of March 1st...

[Katie_Potatie]

Oh, I didn’t see where you listed it, I’m sorry! But yeah, whatever you want to do is good with me! ;p

I haven’t really had a chance to go through & see what all I can read for. I’ll probably just try to squeeze my books in where I can. I have a buddy read planned for Thunderhead & another for The Serpent King. Then I don’t know what else I’ll be reading yet!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

& hello to everyone! :)

Cool. I wanna read The Serpent King too. I have heard a lot about it. Hope you enjoy the read.

me trying to greet everyone:

Hey Andrea!

Hello Katie :)

Nice to meet(chat with) you Maria

Welcome Bunnita!

Hello Team Sir Didymus, just to let you know that Morgan will be joining your team ☺

Please note that we have made a slight change to one of the descriptions -
38. The Goblin King warns Hoggle that if he disobeys, he'll drop him into the Bog of Eternal Stench, and he'll do the same if Sarah ever kisses him.
- No kissing allowed! Read a book which is not tagged 'romance' (at all).
EDIT: As long as your book is not tagged 'romance' on the first 10 pages of tags, we will count it ☺

[Darlene]

Hi. Checking in.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I will be reading Stalking Jack the Ripper, which could work for #2 or #10... but would not get either of the 5 bonus points.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Sir Didymus, just to let you know that Jessica will be joining your team ☺

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Sure! Fine by me! Most of the time I probably won’t know what my books will fit till the last minute... I’m pretty flighty with my book choices. LOL. Hopefully playing it by ear will work out fine, too. On my end, anyway. ;p

[Morgan]

March is a busy month for me ( a first grade teacher) so I going to stick with four books (for now, it always changes)

Here are the numbers I can complete:
8.
49.
52.
16.

[Katie_Potatie]

Hello everyone.

Here are my plans for the challenge

10 - The Keeper of Lost Things (13 letters and bonus points read it before 13:00 Goodreads time on March 1st)
20 - Matched (read in 9 hours and 23 minutes)
29 - Three Wishes (read a book with item of food bonus if cake)
55 - Exit, Pursued by a Bear (book with A X and E in title/author's name)
63 - Half a King (Read a book with N E A R or F A R in title/author's name bonus read a book with all letters)
65 - The Rosie Project (read a romance book)
68 - The Great Zoo of China (something that flies on cover)
70 - Winter (last full book in series)

What challenge does Thunderhead fall under for this month? because I will be participating in that :D

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I would have to double check, but I’m not sure that it necessarily does fall under any specific task. I believe we still get points for pages of books we read that don’t fit any tasks. But I could be wrong about that...

[Katie_Potatie]

Oh, okay that makes sense. Thanks :)

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

The number next to the book will be the description number

[Reading Rediscovered]

Hello all!
I am planning to read Glass Sword but beyond that, I'm not sure. I didn't even look to see which category that would fit. It's just the next book on my list to read.
I got it from the local library.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Well, Thunderhead couldn’t work for 10 as it doesn’t have 13 letters in the title. Only 11. But that’s good it could work for all the others because I’m doing a buddy read on March 5th for Thunderhead.

Here are 3 books that I’ll absolutely, positively be reading this month:

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco (could work for 2 or 10, no bonus)
Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner (could work for 10, no bonus)

42. Bellatrix
49. Morgan
52. Morgan
55. Katie
63..."

Oh, this is extremely helpful, thank you!!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Am I correct about books counting for page points even if they don’t fit a task?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Frankie, points will only be given for books which complete descriptions. The only books that can be used for page points are books which are started before March, which we will give points for based on how many pages were read in March (up to a maximum of 3 books per person).

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Ooohhh. Okay. Thanks, Sarah! Sorry for the confusion. It’s hard to keep up with everything being asked & answered over in the other thread. It gets so hectic over there! I’m not sure how you handle it! LOL!

[Dr. Andy]

We could make a spreadsheet, that would be easier

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I really like that idea...

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I think it would definitely help us keep better track of things.

[Dr. Andy]

I copied one from another team and added our names and basically reset the rest of it so here it is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Bellatrix *The Amazon Star* wrote: "Hey! If that's ok with everyone, I'm planing on doing:
42. The Name of the Wind
63. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (with bonus points)
70. [book:Crooked Kingdom|2229976..."

I'm not sure if HP #4 gets the bonus since it only has one A?

Also Crooked Kingdom wouldn't work for 70 anymore since Leigh did announce that she'd eventually come back to the series for a third book so I moved it to #28

[Dr. Andy]

I'm working on adding things and some of the things definitely don't fit the categories they have been listed for so I'm going to move stuff around.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Thanks, Andrea! I’m not all that great with spreadsheets, especially with the formulas, but it’ll be nice for me to look at just to see what’s going on.

[Morgan]

I just added 39 to the spreadsheet.
39. Read a book with the word 'fire' in the title.

[Brooke]

(pretty sure someone is reading this already)

yah i like cozy mysteries XD

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

Hey guys, I have seen the spreadsheet. I tried to add my reads. But where I am supposed to add if other member already added for the description that I plan?

[Dr. Andy]

Janani(ஜனனி) wrote: "Hey guys, I have seen the spreadsheet. I tried to add my reads. But where I am supposed to add if other member already added for the description that I plan?"

Any other description that it fits

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

so, same description cannot be used by other member of the same team?

[Dr. Andy]

Not until we've completed all of the rounds
