So I just added Broken Things to the spreadsheet.
And then I'm definitely planning on reading two more, is it okay if I add those to the spreadsheet? I'm currently reading them.
Hey everyone, check your status's on the spreadsheet for books you put in the sheet. they should be either marked "yes" or 'CR" in column Q depending on whether you've posted them to the review thread ("yes") or you haven't yet (CR).

Yes anything that you are definitely either currently reading or are going to be reading soon, mark those on the spreadsheet. Just don't put books in there that you might read, but have no definite plans in the real near future.

If you are able to write it from your phone, someone else on your team can post it for you on the review thread.
BookWorm I can post your review if you want! Did you have a category in mind for that book?
Caroline wrote: "BookWorm I can post your review if you want! Did you have a category in mind for that book?"Yes. It is on the SS. Thank you very much for helping me. I am still going to need some help with posting reviews for a little bit so if you can, can you please help me?

✔️Vicki
✔️Claire
✔️Sharon
✔️ Maya (1)
✔️Bookworm
✔️Caroline (2)
Damselflies
✔️Anna (2)
When you check in, please note if you'd prefer 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the tasks still not claimed...

Checking in and hopefully will be able to do 2 more tasks by the end of this month.
Checking in!I am currently reading two books I hope to finish by the end of the month. Killing Commendatore could count for art on cover, June in text, or 6 in page count. Axiomatic could count for gold title or published in 2014. I've added them to the sheet under art on cover and gold title. We can also move them around.
I can't commit to any additional books by the end of the month. If needed I could take one random category, but because I'm a slow reader I'd have to focus on that book and might not be able to finish the other two.

I think those two tasks are fine!
Anna wrote: "Jammin Jenny wrote: "There are nine of us so we could assign them randomly (2-4 tasks per person) based on planned reading speed. Before we do that can we have a quick check in with whoever is stil..."Do you have two that seem to appeal more to you than any others?
Jenny, I added five or six books today and posted those. And I have several books that I have to read by the 30th, so let me look at what I have to read for other challenges and see if any of those fit. I will get back to you ASAP.
Vicki wrote: "Jenny, I added five or six books today and posted those.

Hi hi!! So I just finished a book, Fawkes (I wasn’t originally planning on including cause I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish it, but I finished it). I could put it under MC is a spy. And then I’m planning on finishing Sweet Evil and Light as a Feather before the end of the month. But I think that will be all I can read. And I believe I put Sweet Evil and Light as a Feather in the spreadsheet. But if we have to move them around to fit the categories, I’m down for it. Whatever helps to complete our tasks.
Hi Maya! Yes can you put that under MC is a spy? That would be awesome!!
Hi Jenny,I have added the books I read and will update in the thread. I have done published in May, page count with number 6 , MC makes new friend and MC has new job
I am ok with taking other tasks too,but the list ones might be difficult.
If wehave books that don’t fit a category, or are a double can we still add them and get points?
Claire if we have doubles, I think we need to save them until we finish our first hunt and then we can use them for our second hunt. If they don’t match any category, I don’t think they count. But I would expect most books to match a category since there are so many.
Yes Caroline is right. But you can add those books to the banked sheet and note what task(s) they work for so when we finish with round 2 we can use those banked books in the best spots and then figure out what we need for round 2.That's why I was trying to make sure we all picked some of the round 1 tasks that seemed to be more "difficult"...
Right now it looks like we still have the following tasks "unclaimed"
Cover has a winter scene
Flip Flops on cover
Title that rhymes
‘June’ in text
✔️Book published in 2014 - Claire
Publication date has the numbers 4,5,& 6 in it (i.e. April 5th, 2016) [in any order]
✔️Author’s first name is the same as your middle name - Claire
Published from the year you were born
Book is off the first page of the Best Book Boyfriends list
Book is within the first 25 books on the YA Weapon on Cover list
Tagged ‘sports’ on first page of tags
MC has an unusual pet
MC has blonde hair
Animal as the MC (can be a shifter of some sort)
Book is set in spring
Robot in book
If some of the faster readers in our group can take on 3 or 4 of these we can finish out round 1.
What do you all think about that plan?
I will start with author has the same middlename as you and a book from 2014,I will add my other books as banked books.
I am currently reading a book that fits the category of a book from 2014.

Jammin Jenny wrote: "Hi Maya! Yes can you put that under MC is a spy? That would be awesome!!"For sure will do!! I'm going to write the review for it now.
Hi, just posted my review for Fawkes. I'm about to post the review for Light as a Feather!!
Alrighty so I posted my review for Light as a Feather. I'm going to finish Sweet Evil and post my review for it tomorrow.
Jenny, I’m sorry but I haven’t been on very much the last couple of days. I can do June in text because I finished a book yesterday that will work I just need to do the review for it. And I think about the other ones and see what I’ve already used and what I haven’t used and see if I can cover anything.
Do these have to be finished by tomorrow night, April 30?
No, this is a quarterly challenge. I just think we have to finish all of Round 1 tasks before we can start on Round 2. But again, if you can't read for any of the remaining tasks in Round 1, you can always bank your book on the banked books sheet, and note which task(s) it works for so when we do finish Round 1 we can populate Round 2 with our banked books before we see what we still need to read.
Jenny, I just added these to the SS and review thread: Title that rhymes, "June" in text, and MC has blond hair. I took my name OFF of the SS for Tagged ‘sports’ on first page of tags because I know that's easy to find so I put that book under "title rhymes" instead.
I also am going to add black/white cover after I do my review so you can cross that one off the list. I'll have the review done/posted shortly. I am also going to cover Book is within the first 25 books on the YA Weapon on Cover list by tomorrow night because I am reading a book that just happens to fit and didn't even know it. :)
Sorry for the late reply. Had a busy month. Sorry I haven’t contributed as much. I will post my reviews right now.
Hey team, FYI for my current two books in the SS, which I had hoped to finish by today, I haven't made as much progress as I wanted. I usually do most of my reading on the weekends, so my new ETA is this weekend.
Hey guys. With April wrapping up here are the remaining open tasks not claimed in Round 1:Cover Categories:
Blue Cover (50%)
Cover has a winter scene
Flip Flops on cover
Publication Date Categories: Publication date has the numbers 4,5,& 6 in it (i.e. April 5th, 2016) [in any order]
Member Categories Published from the year you were born
Goodreads Inspired Categories: Book is off the first page of the Best Book Boyfriends list
Genre & Tags/Shelves Categories: Tagged ‘sports’ on first page of tags
