Perfect!

Oops, just seeing this post!!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Andrea wrote: "I can find a book to fill Heathers GoPaF spot and have that done today 🙂"

Okay, this is great!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

We have a problem. Heather’s book, Ice Like Fire, does NOT work for 48. Read a book with the letters 'F', 'A', 'L', and 'L' in the title/author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the word 'fall' in the title.)"

I went to go post it & was about to... then went to double check that it worked for the task, but it doesn’t. It does not have two L’s in the title or author’s name.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

So. What I’m going to do is use it for the “fire” in title task.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

So, Andrea, instead of reading for the fire in title task, could you read for all the letters in FALL instead?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Here’s an updated list of what we need:

Andrea: (all of the following need to be reviewed & posted)
The Dry
A Monster Calls
The Uninvited
Imprison the Sky

Morgan:
Throne of Glass (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
25. Read a book that a teammate has given up. (Solo players can ask another solo player for ideas, or read something tagged 'Given-up'.)

Jessica:
Rock & Roll Homicide (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
"59. Read a book with either the word 'rock' or 'roll' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has both the word 'rock' and the word 'roll' in the title/author's name.)"

Maria:
Potent as Poison (needs to be finished, reviewed & posted)
“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.)"

Katie:
Three Wishes (needs to be started, finished, reviewed, & posted)
"5. Read a book with the letters 'W', 'I', 'S', and 'H' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book has the word 'wish' in the title.)"

Still need someone to cover this task...
"48. Read a book with the letters 'F', 'A', 'L', and 'L' in the title/author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the word 'fall' in the title.)"

[Dr. Andy]

Okay so far I found: Slouch Witch for the WISH category (this can be round 1 or 2). And I found Falling into place for the FALL category. I’ll take a look at the DNF shelves people have posted in a couple mins.

[Dr. Andy]

Oh hey the book I finished earlier today, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hogdkin should work for the FALL category!

[Heather]

If there’s a spot for In Search of Us by Ava Dellaira anywhere I’m about to finish it up!

[Dr. Andy]

Heather wrote: "If there’s a spot for In Search of Us by Ava Dellaira anywhere I’m about to finish it up!"

There will be for round 2 I'm sure

[Dr. Andy]

Okay I checked out the forgetting for the give up prompt (from Brooke’s shelf) and I have slouch witch for the WISH prompt. And I’ll start whichever is shorter once I finish for a muse of fire. Probably sometime tonight since I’m going home and going to write some reviews first!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I just started The Mind Readers, given up by Brooke, for the given up task. If Morgan finishes before I do, we can use hers, it doesn’t matter to me. But I will be trying to get this book finished ASAP. It’s only about 200 pages.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Andrea, once you have your needed reviews posted... if it’s okay, maybe you could focus on the WISH task. I will focus on the Given Up task since I already started reading for that one?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Here’s an updated list of what we need to complete round one:

Andrea: (all of the following need to be reviewed & posted)
The Dry
A Monster Calls
The Uninvited
Imprison the Sky
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

Morgan OR Frankie:
Throne of Glass (needs to be finished, reviewed, & posted)
OR

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Andrea, the short review that you currently have for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer might actually qualify as enough of a review. It’s very possible!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

According to Abby’s description total over on the review thread, it looks like we’re on track! We’re not missing anything or skipping anything. We just need what we’ve posted above & we’re good to go. ;p

[Morgan]

I'm writing my review in an hour after I'm done grading.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

For Throne of Glass? Yeee! That’s great!!

[Morgan]

Just posted! Glad I could be a help at the end!

[Dr. Andy]

Yay!!! Awesome

[Dr. Andy]

I'm starting my reviews now, I'll probably do all of the ones for round 1 tonight and then the others tomorrow or on the weekend.

I thought that at first, too! LOL. I double checked myself like five times trying to find the F. It’s hidden! ;p

Woo!

[Dr. Andy]

Okay all five reviews of mine are posted, and I have the other three categories with books I can use and will probably be done with them by Saturday so we are definitely finishing the first round!

I did the same thing and I was like omg yes it has the letters!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Here’s an updated list of what we need to complete round one:

Woo! We’re moving right along! We just might be on to round two before the end of the month after all! ;]

Heck yes we will, it will be close, but it's happening lol

[María]

I just finished potent as poison. We need something else?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

María wrote: "I just finished potent as poison. We need something else?"

Nice! We just have Jessica’s book & Katie’s book left now in order to move on to round two & start filling those tasks in.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I’m being nosy & I looked at Jessica & Katie’s profiles & it doesn’t appear that either have started their books yet. Just because it doesn’t show it on their profile doesn’t mean they haven’t, of course... but I wonder if we should try to fill them?

[María]

Maybe we could. And they can put it in the next round.
I can read the Rock and roll category...

[[[ Frankie ]]]

María wrote: "Maybe we could. And they can put it in the next round.

Perfect! That would be great.

[María]

Ok. I'm starting Rock, Rattle & Roll. It has 134 pages so I would be finishing it soon

That’s awesome! Thank you, Maria!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

In the rules, Sarah states that she will move books around for us, if we want... well, I just noticed that I read a book that has the word “strange” in the title, which could’ve earned us 5 extra points for task #46. But I used the “strange” book for task #47, read a book with a dress on the cover.

So before we finalize round one, I’m thinking we should move those around. We should ask her to use the book for #47, for #46 instead. That would leave us needing to put #46’s book in round two, or swap with another book from round one.

[Heather]

That’s fine with me Frankie!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

If this could be considered a dress, we could swap it with Slayer, then swap slayer with Strange.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Heather wrote: "That’s fine with me Frankie!"

Heather, have you finished & reviewed any books with a dress on the cover that we haven’t used yet by chance?

[[[ Frankie ]]]

We could use Andrea’s book “The Great Pursuit” for the dress on the cover & then move Slayer to round two.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

But I want to wait until Andrea posts her review before we do the swap.

[Heather]

Sadly no I haven’t

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Okay, I swapped it on the spreadsheet. So once Andrea posts her review for The Great Pursuit, here’s what we are going to do (so we can get the +5 points)...

We are going to remove the book we used for task #46 & instead use the book for task #47 for #46. Then, for #47 we are going to use Andrea’s The Great Pursuit book.

The book that we originally had for task #46, Slayer, we moved to task #46 for round two.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Heather wrote: "Sadly no I haven’t"

That’s okay, I figured it out! But any books you have completed that you haven’t used yet, if you could review them & plug them into round two’s descriptions on the spreadsheet, that would be really awesome. Since we only have a couple days left in the month to try to earn as many points as we can.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Hopefully this will explain better without being as confusing:

Currently, we have Slayer for #46 & The Strange Journey of Alice Pendlebury for #47. We are going to move Slayer to task #46 for ROUND TWO. Then move The Strange Journey of Alice Pendlebury to task #46 (round one) so we can get the bonus points. Then use The Great Pursuit for task #47 (round one).
