Team Sir Didymus (F) - Chat

[María]

I'm sorry for Jessica because she had booked description number 3 and we have a book posted instead. It was a shame because she could have the bonus. Maybe I made a mistake but I changed the spreadsheet and put the book posted instead in order to check our progress in part one...

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I just finished Thunderhead & posted it for the description I had planned, #4.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I removed one of my planned reads from the spreadsheet to allow for someone else to read for that task, if they want. Simply because I won’t get to it soon.

I should still get to it this month, but not soon. So maybe someone can get to it quicker than I can. It was for this task:
18. Read a book which has the letter 'C' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has the word 'castle' in either the title or author's name.)

[Dr. Andy]

I am working on reviews. It might take me five years cause I'm incredibly distracted today

[Dr. Andy]

So I got through 6 reviews of 14... I will write more tonight hopefully. I'm determined to do them all today!

[Brooke]

I finished Front Lines to do Female MC and The Last Letter from Your Lover for the "can't remember" one. If work slows down later tonight, i'll get the reviews posted.

You can do it!! ;]

Attempting to finish the others now, added one more too haha

[Katie_Potatie]

Guys, I just finished Thunderhead. I highly highly highly recommend it!!!

Also that now means I am ready to start Winter by Marissa Meyer. So I will be posting in that thread soon and write a review and update everything. :)

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Yes! Thunderhead was so good, wasn’t it? Also, by the way, Potatie, within this challenge you can use the highest page count on Goodreads for each book you read so you can get more points. It doesn’t have to be the edition you read. For example, there is an edition of Thunderhead that is 600 pages. So you can use that one for more points! Cool, huh? All you have to do is make sure you link to that edition beside the page number when you post your book in the review thread. ;]

[Dr. Andy]

Katie I moved your flipped to description #33 since the top tag wasn't romance and I have a book that is

[Brooke]

Yah Katie I started Winter yesterday :)

[María]

We have another book in the challenge #3 posted by Princesjas04. She had already post a book for this challenge. I think she didn't read the rules because she posted more than one book for the same description before.
So could someone place it in another description? Thanks!

[María]

We only need three more reviews to have a part points!!!

I was looking and I honestly don't know where it would fit. I'll be posting the rest of the stuff I've finished as of now.

[Brooke]

we can move her first one "how to be brave" to the read a 200-300pgs book, we need one more there and then use the one she posted secondly as the dead mom one.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I finished Aerialists by Mark Mayer. Let me see if it fits anywhere that’s open & available.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

For some reason, it’s not letting me see or scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet. So for part 7, I can only see the first few number/tasks.

& as of right now, my finished book, Aerialists, won’t fit into any of the open tasks. It will fit into some tasks that are claimed but not read for yet, though.

I will hate it if it can’t be used. I will cry. :’[
But I had to read I for other challenges.

if its one of my spots, you can take it, no biggie to me.

[Janani(ஜனனி)⁷]

I have removed some of my claims. You guys can check those challenges.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Thanks, I will check & see. It was a last minute, spur of the moment read, so if it doesn’t fit anywhere it’ll be completely my fault anyway.

& it sucks because the book was terrible! LOL. Now I wish even more that I hadn’t wasted two days on it.

[María]

We have another book from Princesjas04 that need place: 99 Days by Katie Cotugno
She posted it as #49 but this spot had a book already posted. I feel we couldn't place it, it would be ok because we can't arrange all her books if she didn't respect the rules or the spreadsheet...
Sorry for bothering the rest of the team. And please excuse the tone of this comment. Maybe I'm being too hard with her.
Sorry again.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

It’s okay, Maria. We understand. It can be frustrating when things like this happen. Don’t worry! & also, it’s always hard to place the tone of a comment over the internet. Sometimes the tone can be misread as rude or mean, even when it wasn’t meant to sound that way. I wouldn’t worry too much.

Did she already post it in the review thread?

[Katie_Potatie]

Maria - I 100% understand, you said what I was thinking....

Anyway. I finished flipped and put it under #33 as per spreadsheet. I think it counts as book 2 of 3...

I should finish Winter and Great Zoo of China this weekend. Then I am going to read a few shorter ones to give myself a bit of a break... Woo I pick some rough books this month - Over ambitious much....

I seriously apologize, I dont mean to make anyone upset. I do care about this challenge, Im just a little confuse with the rules is all. Can someone plase explain to me about the books? Thank you!

Again, Im so so sorry Maria and the rest of the team for offending anyone.

[˚.🎀༘⋆ Jasmine]

Ps. No, you aren't mean Maria, I deserve every word of it.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Hey, Princess! Do you have access to the spreadsheet? That’s where you can find what everyone has picked to read for.

Yes, I have access to the spreadsheet, iI just don't know how to use it.

[María]

Hi Princesjas04! We can only post one book for a description. Only when we finish all of them we can post another book for each description.
About the spreadsheet, maybe if you tell us what are you reading, we can help you to fill a description.
Sorry if I made you feel bad.

[Reading Rediscovered]

I have to apologize to my team - I have had a very busy and overwhelming month. A lot of personal stuff happened which caused my still undiagnosed anxiety to flare and I've been in survival mode for the last 2-3 weeks. I think I'm on the other side of things for now, so I'm hoping to carve out some reading time this weekend.
As for the book I'm reading - just put it wherever, when I finish it. I also have a few other books I have been eyeing up, so I'll look through the spreadsheet before I start and see if any of the books fit any of the categories to help us out.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

No worries, Jessica! I hope you start feeling better soon. Mental health always comes first.

[Heather]

Okay everybody I need places for the following books. All I have to do is write the review and they are ready to post!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
13 Minutes
Truly Devious
Girls of Paper and Fire
Ice Like Fire
Monday’s Not Coming
Legendary
Losing Hoping
The Rithmatist
Daughter of the Pirate King

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I can take a look for you here in a little bit, if someone else doesn’t get to it before I do.

Also, PrincessJas’ last book needs to try to be placed into a different description, per Abbie. Since the description she used it for had already been filled.

[Dr. Andy]

I’m leaving for class and work but if no one else has time I’ll look later tonight.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

It sucks my Aerialist book still won't fit anywhere. Am I allowed to hold off on posting it & then maybe once we complete all descriptions & can start re-doing them, I can place it then?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Heather..

Daughter of the Pirate King

I couldn't fit in The Rithmatist or Losing Hope right now. I will check out the others here in a few minutes.

[Heather]

I will start writing reviews now! I have all afternoon to boost our team up lol

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I switched Losing Hope with Legendary because it had a higher page count & I could only fit one or the other, couldn't fit both.

That’s Perfectly fine with me!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Hey, one extra point is one extra point, ya know? LOL! ;]

On a semi-serious note... how did you like Daughter of the Pirate King, Heather? It’s been sitting on my nightstand for what feels like forever, & I’ve just not gotten around to it yet. [Like the billion other books on my never ending TBR!] Is it awesome or what? It sounds really good!!

[Heather]

I really enjoyed it! Honestly I wasn’t expecting much out of it but I need to read the sequel now!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

That’s great! I really need to read it soon!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I just finished A Study in Charlotte, but it also doesn’t fit a description on the spreadsheet. I could’ve sworn it was on there in the beginning as a planned read, but maybe I removed it & forgot. LOL.

[Heather]

I started listening to The Lost Hero

[Morgan]

I'll have two reviews tomorrow! been swamped with Parent Teacher Conferences this week.

[María]

Maybe we could privilege the books that are already read. But please, check first with the person who claims the description before posting. I'm reading Down and dirty but my others description are availables.
So let us know and perhaps we could finish this round quickly
