Trying to rearrange to see if this can be squeezed in the spell-out.

ETA: Phew! Took me a hot minute, but I got this added to the spell-out.

I can't remember where it went and in all the threads for this challenge, I have now lost the spreadsheet. Could someone put it wherever it's going to give us the most points?
Thanks!

message 77: by Susan A (new)

Susan A For spellouts, title starting with an article - A, An, The -- we can use the A or T, or we can ignore the A or T. Is that correct?

That is correct. Use it or ignore it!


message 79: by Susan A (new)

Susan A For the word Great Victoria -- should we switch it to COPPER in Mount Isa? We'd need just the E & R, as opposed to the 9 books we currently need for Great Victoria

Maria Jo Susan A wrote: "For the word Great Victoria -- should we switch it to COPPER in Mount Isa? We'd need just the E & R, as opposed to the 9 books we currently need for Great Victoria"

I would rather go the other way, and take books from Mt. Isa on the B2 tab than move our spell-out books to Mt. Isa. That way we have as many points as possible going toward Goldfields.

Sounds good. I'll look tomorrow to see what letters are still needed. I've still got a few gold covers left, but not any I'm particularly excited to read.

Susan A The last book I added to the spreadsheet was highlighted bright pink. Is there a problem?


message 95: by Maria Jo (new)

Maria Jo There is no author added. I wasn't sure who it was by, since there are several titles that came up when I searched it.

Susan A Maria Jo wrote: "There is no author added. I wasn't sure who it was by, since there are several titles that came up when I searched it."

Fixing it now.

Also, I'm moving my book from the 2nd word, second E to the spreadsheet since it works for Mt Isa and replacing it. I'll get both of these books done.
