Oooh is this like the crossword one??? And the answer is in the second part. lol.
That will make December easier for me. I'll have to remember to take December in to account when I say how many books I'll read. :)
It is like the crossword one. But you won't know the clues ahead of time.Yes, please! Because this challenge so many people didn't read what they said they would or read more or ghosted.
Dang! That will make reading a bit harder. I will have to be here the second you post for them on the 1st!I am one of the one who read more.... (I think?) I'm actually surprised how much I have read. It's not a lot but it's also a lot. lol.
So I said I would read three. Three! A month. I should have never said three. How would I only read 3?! I was stupid. 🤦♀️
Yes, I think so? I don't know. But even though people are going to say what they'll read I'm still going to put into account the books they said they'd read this challenge and how much they actually read.It'll be easier because you can bank books if you don't have one that has a letter that fits. But next challenge there are more ways to fills in the blanks. So it should be easier.
That's smart! That's good!
I am very curious. I am desperately trying not to pester you about what the challenge is! lol.
It was really fun! I think I was on your team for that Vicki?
Yeah, I think you were too. I loved it, but finding the answers to the clues was difficult at times. Lol
It was. There was like one that drove me nuts!
I definitely read more this quarterly. You guys are so active I felt driven! Not in a pressured way but in like “let’s go team!” way haha
Yeah I agree on ALL of this!! This team has been really motivating and it’s helped me to read more than I thought I would!!Also, I’m now dying of suspense about our next quarterly I read that line of comments like it was a suspense novel lol
Mine says 5/month and I’ve read 20 already!! Wow I didn’t even know I was doing that well. That’s really a lot for me from July til now!
I read 17 first quarter, 15 second quarter, and 20 so far with most of the last month of third quarter to go!!You guys have really been so motivating you can see it’s helped me step it up :-)
I think a lot of people underestimate what they are going to read because they don’t want to let their team down and we know that sometimes life gets in the way. To tell you the truth I never realized that our estimates were that important.
I low balled my estimate because I wasn't reading a lot and now I'm happy I did because now I'm sick.
It's gonna be a good one y'all! I've been working on it for weeks. And then savior Aly came in and helped me finish it up. I'm going to work on team spreadsheets today! :D
Posting all the stuff for the challenge in my secret group! So I can copy and paste when I'm ready to post for signups! :D
Yes ma'am. Lol. It's where I post the sign up information so I can copy paste and make sure it all looks right. Instead of copy pasting from a google doc.
So I have HP 5 done. Review pending. I'm also about half done HP 6.
Hi guys! You've finished clock but it's not what you're looking for.
I've had a rough couple of months so I know my reading is down.
I feel like I jinxed myself...I’ve been helping my boyfriends brother move and have hardly read at all since I posted my excitement in reading more than I normally do :/
Hi guys! I have super good news! You've found both your suspect, Brandson Sanderson, and your weapon, rope! Congrats! So that means there's a few books you all will need to repost. They're listed below. Now you only have to post for places!Jenny - 273 & 275
Bookworm - 276
Melany - 277
OMG WE GOT TWO CLUES! And my luck finally ran out, Rope ends my winning streak. It was good while it lasted
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking if we move Jenny's Enchanted to white dress and Bookworm's The Lost Heir to three words we will be done white house. :)
Location had some really specific one that harder to fill, I think I going to use Wild Country for Paris love in text, cause I can't think of another place to put it

So if I can get my sh*t together. I can post Order of the Phoenix for has a witch. Which would finish Andaladia.If we do what I suggest above we will also be done White House.
I think we can use Jenny's CR book for beach on the cover with this edition and we will finish beach.

I'm pretty sure I can use HP 6 for tower with this edition - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... which would finish paris.
There might be a better spot for it but Jenny's book will work for either snow in the text or possibly set in winter.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
Then we will just have Bedroom
Spa
Theater
Winterfell
Oz
Park
The Four Nations
Panera
Bikini Bottom
and Naboo
*Vicki have you posted Blood Family? It's marked as finished so I want to know if Felicia missed it. I couldn't find it in the review thread.
Same for your books for Atlantis.
Vicki are you almost done A Curse So Dark and Lonely?I have just started Deathly Hallows and can't find a spot for it anywhere but there. I will be a few days yet to finish it.

No, I still have to do my review and I have a couple to do. LOL I'll do them shortly. :)
KK. lol. I also have at least two reviews I have to force myself to do. :P
I have a problem, Anna, and it's called LACK OF RECALL (or getting old and have issues with memory)! So usually I do my reviews asap when possible. But I was trying to read a lot of books for 2 challenges the past few days plus doing some babysitting of my 18 month old precious granddaughter (who is having a brother in March!), and the hubs was off yesterday and today, so that's why I didn't do my reviews right away. LOL Sorry teammates! I just did THREE reviews and added them, but I am pretty sure I still have a book or two more. In fact, I am almost done with
lol. That's better than my problem. :PMine is a combination of laziness and tiredness. :P
BTW where is the rest of the team?We seem to be down to Jenny, Vicki, Keri, Kim, myself, and Bookworm and Melany. We are missing Daniela and Alli.
But one of those two left right? So just the one?
It's just Alli. She hasn't been on since June 24th though...
Okay I'm going to repost my books as suggested above.

This challenge you're reading for letters. Kind of like back when we did the Crossword challenge. So a little easier to close out the year instead of reading for specific tasks.
