Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments Hi!


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments I take it if I've I've finished a book but we are not on that board I should wait to post the review?


message 56: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments Yes, we can't post reviews for the other boards until we are actually on that board.


message 57: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments You can post for page points if you don't want to use it for a letter.

Yeah that's what i thought. I'll be adding all my posts at once lol as most of my books are for the later boards.


message 59: by [deleted user] (new)

Are you okay with moving stuff around? For instance, my first book is for the third or fourth board and another members book is for the first board but I finish mine first.


message 60: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments I’ll be done with all of my first board ones this week so they can’t really be moved. If you need to move any from 2-4, feel free.


message 61: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments But I would prefer none of my buddy reads to be moved.

Thanks Maria! Enjoy A Darker Shade of Magic!! It is an excellent book!

Laura | 1313 comments I have filled some more spaces on the spreadsheet. Are we able to post descriptions for a letter in the next board?


message 64: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments No. We can't post the review until we are actually on that board.

Ok. Thanks! I have finished one book, but will have to wait a bit before posting it.


message 66: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments Yeah I kinda wish we could do 4 boards at once. Thank goodness for the spreadsheet because I would probably forget to post a review for the later boards if I read things on it!

Yes, so would I!

callie (artsy_bibliophile) | 907 comments I just finished The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves, and Blue Lily Lily Blue and will hopefully be finishing The Raven King today all by Maggie Stiefvater (I did a 24 hour read-a-thon so they were all started within August). Instead of sifting through all the comments to see what everyone is reading for the specifc letters I'm just going to ask which letters from each would be most helpful? I don't want to "steal" anyone's letters, lol!


message 69: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments I only have a W and I left for the first wheel and I’m almost done with the I .


message 70: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments You can also check the spreadsheet as well to see what could be moved around.


message 71: by callie (new)

callie (artsy_bibliophile) | 907 comments oh geez I'm not good with spreadsheets that I didnt make... I did look at the spread sheet but I'm honestly not entirely sure how it works, lol. would it help if I sent my entire August TBR?


message 72: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments For sure. And we can see where things can go and also see if anyone is willing to move their books around from the first wheel for the letters you’ve already read. h


message 73: by [deleted user] (new)

I’ve also finished my first book and it’s currently on the third or fourth board.


message 74: by Gabi (new)

Gabi | 563 comments Oh wow, that spreadsheet really filled up fast! That makes me so happy!

I've been busy trying to finish this one book I started in August, but I'm going to be starting Try tonight and hopefully the library loan for The Cruel Prince will be in soon! I'm checking every day!

Also Krystal, I don't remember if I told you this, but I got the BR thread for that book set for the 7th! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It took me a whole month to finish those three and you did in under a week :O I could never do a 24 hour marathon! Nice job!


message 77: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes definitely!


message 78: by [deleted user] (new)

Does anyone mind if I move my book to the first puzzle for one of these letters W, E, S, or G?


message 79: by Krystal (last edited Aug 05, 2019 05:32AM) (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments I'm almost done with my W, not sure about the other ones. But I think if they haven't started reading for those letters, you should be able to replace.


message 80: by [deleted user] (new)

My book is on the third or fourth puzzle so I thought I should ask so we can get the puzzles finished faster


message 81: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments Slytherpuff wrote: "My book is on the third or fourth puzzle so I thought I should ask so we can get the puzzles finished faster"

I would PM Fuzaila to see if she has started either of those books for G or S.

Or maybe just go ahead and put your book in either G or S . She didn't check that she is currently reading it so I think one of those can be moved down.


message 83: by [deleted user] (new)

As I’m on my phone I’m going to wait a day or two


message 84: by Gabi (new)

Gabi | 563 comments I would definitely ask the teammate first before moving a book! Just so we don’t have any confusion or hurt feelings ❤️


message 85: by [deleted user] (new)

Im just waiting for them to post on here. Plus I want to make sure the book fits elsewhere


message 86: by Laura (last edited Aug 07, 2019 04:43AM) (new)

Laura | 1313 comments I have finished Candide, Fellowship of the Ring, The Shadow Hour and I have started Two Towers. Unfortunately, I can't submit any of these yet. If anyone is happy for me to take their spaces in the first puzzle let me know! :)

Of course! Thank you!


message 90: by Krystal (new)

Krystal Ayers | 5691 comments I'm wondering if we need to add a column for something like 'Reader # 2" and whichever reader gets done first, that's the one that is used. I'm not sure how to remedy books being read but not having a letter.

I think that would be a good idea but we should see what the rest of the team thinks.

This would help as I'm reading a book that doesn't fit in any of the open spots.


message 92: by Gabi (new)

Gabi | 563 comments Slytherpuff! If you want to switch our two books, your E for Water for Elephants for my E for Try by Ella Frank, we can do that! Or I can do it when I get home. I’m on mobile currently :)

And I didn’t find any books we can swap Laura, but if I do, I’ll let you know!

Thank you so much. I'll post the review now and then will get to the spreadsheet


message 94: by [deleted user] (last edited Aug 07, 2019 11:38AM) (new)

I'm going to message Sarah to see if she can link the spreadsheet to the first post.

That is a good idea. It would work well I think!

Good job! ;)


message 99: by Fuzaila (new)

Fuzaila (feistyhijabi) | 1336 comments I've finished the one for D guys, that was my first book. Also, I deviated from my tbr and I'm reading A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna and it doesn't seem to fit the letter I've already claimed. So if anybody's still not started theirs, we could switch. (Although I'm not quote sure when will I be able to finish the book)


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Ok guys I've finished all my books apart from the buddy reads as they start on the 14th. That's 7 letters. Let me know if you want to swap them so we get boards finished sooner or if you just want me to wait.
