☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Well if we switch Plethora’s O book to E and leave the O for Keli we can get VERSION which would be 250 points will be done but if we continue with trying to finish CARNIVOROUS we can get 400 points. We can place your book for N since I didn’t start my book yet and I can work on the C instead. That may work better. Give me a minute to post the change

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Sorry. I did just finish my O book. But I'm heading into my night job. I plan on catching us up in the morning with what writr makes sense for the letter we've read.

☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments This is what we have so far. The bold ones are the open one so if Keli has a book that covers one of them then we'll use it or switch things around we'll have this word covered and then go for maybe a smaller one.

C - Fight and Flight - Carmen 8/25
A - The Bride - Nikk | 8/22
R - Sisters Red - Carmen | 8/23
N - Freaky Rites - Nikk | 8/23
I - Stealing Shadows - Nikk 8/23
V - Shards of Hope - Nikk | 8/22
O - Love at First Like - Plethora | 8/23
R - Seventh Grave and No Body Carmen | 8/23
O - Keli
U - Unraveled - Plethora | 8/22
S - Him - Carmen | 8/24

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments I'd rather go for carnivorous. I can finish at least one pertinent two more. Have to look at countdown time.

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments So we are looking for E, r or s basically


message 159: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments I need an R title for another chairmen. So I'll look for that


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Allegiance is nearly 500 pages so it will most likely be my Last read for the round

☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments I completed Him I'm going to work on the next book.

Nikk no worries. I can cover the other letters 😊

So are we good with what I posted above? If so I can add it to the spreadsheet so we know where we're at.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Yes. Go for it!


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Nikk the Sapphired Book Dragon wrote: "Yes. Go for it!"

Nikk you put an 'I' for Stealing Shadows but you didn't put a character or whatever it was supposed to fit in your post. Can you recheck, please? Thanks


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Nikk the Sapphired Book Dragon wrote: "Allegiance is nearly 500 pages so it will most likely be my Last read for the round"

Oh and did you finish Wicked Hearts?

Let me have a look. I am pretty sure its for a unlikable character named Ivy who we meet briefly and then she is murdered but i will double check. Not quite finished with wicked hearts but will have both it and allegiance of honor done before deadline


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I was right it was for character Ivy Jameson. I have updated the spreadsheet :-)

I hate autocorrect.... Why would it use chairmen? I never type that but I type challenge all day long.


message 168: by Keli (new)

Keli | 1319 comments I don't have much left of the offer. Does the time end when the next round begins?


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Hahaha I knew that’s what you were trying to say Plethora 😁

Thanks Nikk. I’ll add it to the spreadsheet

Keli the timer is in the above post. Plethora posted it.


message 170: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Carmen I'll catch up with you tomorrow to figure out what letters need finished for Version. I started the R, it's a short audio. About 6 hours, have about hour done, will get about another hour on commute home after work tonight. So I'll finish up in morning and have time for at least one more.


message 171: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments For list above, my R... A Royal Christmas Wedding


message 172: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Carmen do I need to read another O? I think you double counted my O book in Carnivorous.


message 173: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Carmen I have also started The Eighth Guardian which will cover the E. Can also be used for the O if that was double counted.

T, E, M, A, O, J, Z, N, F, V, S

Oops sorry. I meant to place Keli's book. So we need another O but I think I have something for it too.


message 175: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments My book that I was reading for E can be used for the O or S.

Keli | 1319 comments I’m in a car driving through Iowa and my phone is foreign. Can someone add my book to the spreadsheet because I can’t access it right now. I won’t get to a place with WiFi for another 5 hours? Thank you to anyone who can.

Completion post
Book: The Offer
Date read: 25/8/19

Keli | 1319 comments I’m really sorry that y’all had to wait on me for safe zone 2, that you had to stop reading so many books for sz3, and for only contributing one book to sz3. Even though I’m still on vacation I should be able to get back on track and read more. Especially as I have been given a new kindle fire.😊
Anyway, sorry again that you three had to carry the last stage.

No worries. Things happen

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments How exciting, a new kindle. 😃

It's OK. Keli, I just stopped and picked up again on those books, I didn't stop reading. You finished in time for me to use the one I wanted for another challenge even.


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments I'm on my lay book. I have about an hour and a half left to completion. How are you ladies coming along?


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I am done with wicked hearts and have about 100 pages left in allegiance. I am listening to it on audio here at work Then will finish via the paperback copy on the 1 1/2 hour train commute home so be done with a couple hours to spare


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments Hahaha I think me and Plethora are rubbing off on you. 😉


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments I added your stuff to the spreadsheet Nikk you only have to add the date to your last book.


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments All done ladies. Catch you later


message 187: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Have one done, wrapping up the last one. Just under the wire.

Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Finished My last book and updated the spreadsheet 😀


message 189: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments We have to watch ourselves. We almost read out of our zone. We were 4 away from maxing out.


message 190: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments OK. Finished. Off to sleep as I get up in a short 3.5 hours.good job ladies.


message 191: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Now I need to figure out the new countdown tasks....
Carmen, looks like you and I can decide on the last ones left.

10 with a title that starts with O Nikk
9 set in Canada
8 tagged MPG Sci-Fi
7 that is more than 50% black (use tin eye to confirm)
6 from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die List. For this task, you can use books that would otherwise not be allowable for the challenge (e.g. due to wordcount or genre) Keli
5 that has one of the 50 states of the USA in the title
4 that is more than 400 pages Nikk
3 that has the letters C-A-T in the title (in any order) Nikk
2 written by an African American author Keli
1 from the NPR List


☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎ | 7238 comments So do we know who has what book from the other teams? or is it BOM this time? I'm a bit confused this morning. Err, I hate trying to get financial aid on the phone especially when they place you on hold. Errrrrr!

You are way ahead of the game there Carmen. :) Wrong group of tasks.

Ugh, I just checked and yes, my head is somewhere else. LOL Ok I'm good with whatever.


message 195: by Keli (last edited Aug 26, 2019 09:37AM) (new)

Keli | 1319 comments I was going to read The Fellowship of the Ring for #6 but I'm going to go with The Little Prince instead cos it's like 60 pages. So I can get in another. My #2 book is The Bluest Eye which is also rather short. I wil be happy to read for another of the other tasks. I have chosen one for each of them.


message 196: by Plethora (new)

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 2239 comments Keli - The Little Prince isn't going to work. It doesn't meet page count or word count for a 'childrens book'.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments For task 6, on the spreadsheet it says for task 6 you can use books that would otherwise not be allowed.

That's why I had originally chosen LotR but fortunately noticed the exception. 😊
