Team Magma Mavens

[Teri]

Finished Full Throttle, going to try and get through Hellion, the MCs last name is Nicholls so that works for an N and I'm looking for a quickie O as well...

[Sharon]

I'm going to finish Women Talking today and it will work for an O if you need it. I'll check and see what other letters it will work for too. I didn't put In Pieces anywhere yet, so maybe we can squeeze in another small word.

[Teri]

I put A Man Called Ove on the spreadsheet for round four for Group 1, as it was a previous botm, but I was thinking that it may be better for the countdown where it asks for a perpetually grumpy character. What do you think?

In pieces can actually go in the last "I" spot. And then I think we'll call it. We are pretty close to 40 books and we can't go over 40 unless we want to be grouped in with two teams that always read about 60 books each round.

@Teri -Maybe the countdown for now? If anything changes about that task we could always move your book back to group 1

[Jessi]

Last round ladies!! We did awesome last round! (thanks Cecily!) Let's go out with bang!! I'm starting with for something prickly on cover.

[Teri]

Starting with

[Jessi]

I don't know if you guys saw this announcement or not so I'm putting it here.

The echidnas on our floor are currently only babies (puggles) and pretty slow moving.
Because they are so cute, and it is our last round, every team to complete their countdown tasks this round prior to the countdown reaching 0 will receive a bonus 200 points. (These bonus points will be shown on the current points spreadsheet)


Good luck teams!!

Sorry honey! Feel better.

[Teri]

Is there a countdown foe this first countdown section? I am not very far i to beautiful creatures yet. I am working on it

[Jessi]

They have not posted the countdown yet. They like to keep us on our toes!!

[Teri]

Okay, I will do my best to finish this evening so we can move to the next zone. Happy reading everyone!

[Jessi]

I should finish my last one today as well then we can move on to zone 1, then 2, then 3 if that works for everyone.

@Teri, do you want to read 3 out 5 on group one? If you want to pick 2 and then Cecily can have 1 and Sharon can have 1? Just an idea.

Up to y’all, I have all three of those books so if someone wants to cover one, just let me know and I will do the other two

[Sharon]

We only need to have 2 that were previously read or BOM right? If so, I can take one of Teri's letters. I've got a ton of books to read before they expire back to the Library and I'm getting ready to leave for vacation so I'll be sitting in an airport reading. Teri, which one are you planning to start first?

Honestly I can start with any of them, doesn’t matter to me. I definitely want to read The Wedding Date but other than that, I am easy

[Jessi]

Sharon wrote: "We only need to have 2 that were previously read or BOM right?"

Correct we only need two.

Annndd we are done with the countdown!! We can move on to safe zone 1!!

[Teri]

Finished The Wedding Date and I am going to start Better Off Wed now. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, but I should be able to finish in the evening.

[Sharon]

I'm working on The Overdue Life of Amy Byler and should finish today or tomorrow.

[Jessi]

Sharon wrote: "I'm working on The Overdue Life of Amy Byler and should finish today or tomorrow."

Great! I should be done with mine today!

[Sharon]

Finished!!

[Jessi]

Woo hoo we can start/finish books for zone 2! Sharon can you find a book to fit task iii in zone 2?

[Sharon]

Do you think would work for a natural setting? I have that now and can start reading tomorrow morning. If not, I have to stop at the library tomorrow on my way home from work and can definitely find something else that will work.

[Jessi]

That should work as long as 'animal' is somewhere in the text!

[Cecily]

I am heading to Florida tonight and will be gone for a week! I will still be reading but I may need some help inputting on the spreadsheet!! I will do my best to work with everyone but I should still get a good amount of reading in!
I just wish I wasn't travelling sick! Blah!

[Jessi]

I really hope you get better soon!! And don’t worry just make a completion post or something and I can add to the spreadsheet. Have a good trip!

Have a good time, I hope you feel better

[Teri]

hi how is everyone doing?

[Jessi]

Hello! Finally finished my book for zone 2! It was a crazy week at work and it was just difficult to listen to the book the whole time!

Sharon and Cecily how are you guys doing?

I know with TT starting soon it's a bit crazed at the moment but hoping we can finish strong!

[Sharon]

I finished my book! I’ll be able to get to my computer in a couple hours and update the spreadsheet with the page number for the word animal. But if someone wants to mark me as finished for now, that would be so helpful!

[Teri]

I have finished a couple because I couldn't wait since I have a few other challenges going as well. I can still move stuff around with my current ones, but I am not really sure about timing now?

[Cecily]

Sorry guys I have had a busy last couple of days but it should slow down now. I'm about 3/4 through my current book. Where are we at for timing right now?

[Jessi]

oh goodness I'm sorry I was busy yesterday and my notifications for this thread got a bit buried. It ended a couple of hours ago. No worries though I had a lot of fun playing this challenge!

[Teri]

It was a great challenge! Thanks guys! Hope to see you in future challenges

[Sharon]

I’ve enjoyed having you guys as teammates! Great challenge!
