Does the 1st work for perfect mothers, 10th for the kept woman and 18th for settling the score? I’m pretty flexible, I’m just mainly going off there due back dates :)

I'm extremely flexible for next month so I'm down for all of that! Do you want me to make threads?

That would be awesome! But if you can’t, I can make them when I get to work :)

Just a question- do all the books we read have to be buddy reads? Or any for that matter?

Awesome! Thanks so much :D
So what is our game plan? You guys are very quick, so should we just add books as we are nearing completion/completed? Or are we adding just one book each to start. I think no matter what we will use our banked books (unless they are hard letters), but even if they are hard we can just chat in here to try and make it work. Do you know if we can swap spots later on?
I am open to whatever plan, I just don't want to hold any spots up. Most of my planned reads are pretty versatile with letters so hopefully spots will just come up anyway.
I’m open to claiming letters once we finish a book or swapping things around. Doesn’t matter to me
Ok well lets do that, that way we can move through our boards quickly!I am sure that when books are banked we can find spots as we finish boards anyway, and those banked books would be used as soon as a letter is available.
If we can swap letters later we won't have any issues as we will do our best to find spots for everything if we need to do shuffling.
I might check if there is a rule to say about swapping later on
There is no rule about swapping later. :)
I am thinking about reading: 
I probably found BR for: * The bear and Nightingale.
* Slasher Girls & Monster Boys.
* The Chalk Man
* The Young Elites.
* Clockwork Angel.
* Firefight.
So it's coming together! :)
I can possibly do young elites and empire of storms, but can I just keep you posted? They are both physicals for me so will take up more time. But the last two weeks I’m planning to read more physicals as I’ll be off work. Also this is Sarah’s reply in regards to book swapping, so we can only swap books with books on the same board, not books from earlier boards if we have completed it already.

Hi guys, I think what we did last year was we said that swaps were okay, as long as they didn't cross boards. So if you have completed a board and received the bonus points for that, and have moved on to another board, you wouldn't be able to swap a new book with a book which had been used to complete the previous board.
In terms of points, I think we switch the points for the books. So if you read hunger games for 'H' and the spin was 12, and you received 12 points, then if you moved that to G on a different spin which was only worth 5 points, then whoever read that book would have their points reduced to 5 points, while the new review to take the place of the hunger games, would be scored as if it was in the 12 spin.
This means that the overall points after the first spin are the same after the swap, as before the swap.
(Hopefully that makes sense!)

But I am so curious about Empire of Storms that I will probably start it tommorow. :(
Only 13 minutes until August here in the Netherlands!
Ok well maybe I’ll do empire of storms with you, but star as soon as I finish my physical I need to finish from last month (it will just be page points for this month). I will just stagger empire of storms over the month and read it slowly for the first part as I’ll be working, although once I’m in again I might end up needing to know what happens ASAP!
I will finish
in the next few hours, it’s a buddy. Are you guys happy for me to post it for R? Are we just working like that, first in can post? Or do we need to chat here beforehand? I’m in Australia, so I think I’m on a totally different Timezone to everyone else from what I’ve noticed of the chat busy times :P
We have a spreadsheet in the first post, but no one has used of yet. so I think you can just pick the R!
Ok I just posted for R and also updated spreadsheet, although in the points section for pages and buddy read points there is a formula in the box, i didn’t want to stuff with the formula so I left them blank. Am I meant to delete the formula text and just put the points, or is there something I’m meant to do with the formula for it to generate the points?
There was a little mistake in the formula, I changed it in your and mine entry. (i am on my phone, more is a bit difficult) It should be good now. :)
Ok no worries. I can still see a formula when I select to edit the box (I’m on my phone too), but you’ve updated the points on there anyway. Hopefully I can figure the next one out :pOr am I meant to put the number in a certain part of the formula?
Also I will do empire of storms with you, I’ll just start a few days after you if your starting today
Oh for buddy read just say yes or no. The points should automatically update.
The cel that wants to give points for the amount of pages is taking information from the wrong cel. like it searches for page count in V22 whilst it should be K22
Cel M2 says:=IFS(V2>=600,6,V2>=500,5,V2>=400,4,V2>=300,3,V2>=200,2,V2>=100,1,V2>=0.5,0.5,V2=0," ")
But it should be K2 instead of V2.
English is not my native language so it is a bit difficult to explain.But your Spreadsheet is beautiful Alaina, I love that it changes color when you type Yes haha.

I'm also reading
which has a ton of different Authors, it works for A, T, S, K, J, R, C, L, P.So I'm gonna wait with that one in the spreadsheet to see which letter will be the hardest to get, and place it there. :)

oops my bad - guess that's what I get for making it during EOM at work. it has now been fixed.
I totally see how that could happen haha!
Lmfao. Ghosted y'all for a hot minute. SORRY!Go team! bahaha.
Right now I'm working on a KU book and will listen to Lifelike tonight! :D
I just finished a book that worked for J and it’s a br! I will write my review tomorrow morning though since I’m in bed. Already pasted my comments from my phone on the br thread. Hopefully I can knock out another quick book before I pass out!
@Eva Luna awesome! That’s good there are so many letter options. Good job guys 👍🏼
I’m 50% through
which I should finish in the next day hopefully!
Yes! Starting of strong team! :DI am almost done with Magisterium!
I ended up finishing my other book last night. I’m almost at work so I’ll write the reviews after I get some coffee 😴😴
Eva Luna wrote: "Haha enjoy your coffee. ;)"lol thanks! actually had tea instead but totally want coffee now - I can't stop yawning. I'm also two hours into my audio of
and I'm going to read
as well. Will definitely start
today as well
woohoo keep we are doing great! I think Felicia is close to finishing or has finished
, which could go for the L's or the K in our word.
Alaina wrote: "woohoo keep we are doing great! I think Felicia is close to finishing or has finished , which could go for the L's or the K in our word."Finished it last night. Will write my review and post today. (:
finished perfect mother and added it to A :) I should have my book for O done soon too!
Finished the perfect mother, will post when we get to board two as it doesn’t fit the current board. Going to do a quick audio today for v as that seems like a hard letter, if someone else has a book for it than I can use it for board 2 as there’s a v there too :)
I will be finished a buddy of
tonight, I can either swap Eva Luna’s Stephen king book from s to e (elevation) so we have another letter complete on our current board. Or I can save it for board 2. What does everyone think?
Just move mine! I put it for the S because I thought 'E' was easier to get haha.
