yes, you can add in words between the books. :D I like your titles this week.
Phenomenal job with the mini-challenge this week you guys! We are all checked in with 39 books read this week.
WEEK 5 HAS BEGUN!!
Remember to check the Lust Mini-Challenges Prompts to see if your book meets the criteria :D
Let's have some fun with this challenge.
Also, if anyone desires to write the story just let me know and you can have at it, otherwise I will plan on doing it, lol 😈
So, for the lust challenge, we are basically getting a little over 3 points per book (2 points per book, 14 points extra for completed story (1.2 points per book + 2 points = 3.2 points per book) BUT the mods will add points for creative stories but who knows how much.SO Bingos and Covers take points precedence over the mini-challenge, please evaluate your books accordingly, lol, I know that I have books that I want to read for the challenge but they work better a cover color.....doh!

Oh Mama, you are cracking me up! Thanks and I love those GIFS! lol
Just an observation from ss. I see other teams are reading for their sin and we are in last place for Gluttony. Is that something that we want to focus on or not? Their are only 2 Gluttony teams and we have just read 6 books.
Maritza, there's no need to read books especially for our team, except if we aim to win the prize for 'Highest number of books read from your matching Sin' which we don't.In my opinion our sin is one of the harder ones to read for, and I'm sure we won't be able to catch up at this point lol. It's just not something we prioritized as there was really no need to do so :)

All that happens if we read more Gluttony books was that we would get a badge and from the start the team feeling was a badge was not worth having to read books that we didn't necessarily care for. The team wanted to focus on books they wanted to read and finding where it fit within the challenge :D.
Yeah Minx that makes sense to me. I love these challenges because they help me clear up my kindle and introduce me to new authors.
@maritza, exactly! I definitely wanted to focus on clearing all the books I bought this year but hadn’t read and this was the perfect opportunity. I find that trying to match my existing books with the mini-challenges to be the most fun 🥰

For me our sin genre is the easiest to read, but the hardest to get a Sin Bingo or color cover for, that's the reason out of the HR I have read I haven't claimed gluttony for them.

Yeah, they didn't make the sins all that easy :D

Mama, can you please add Cut and Run on your Towers shelf? Thanks!! :D

I fell behind on the BOMs but I can do Chestnut Man and Two Can Keep a Secret, just going to be a little behind posting in the thread for Chestnut Man. I can start that one next week!
Ashley wrote: "I fell behind on the BOMs but I can do Chestnut Man and Two Can Keep a Secret, just going to be a little behind posting in the thread for Chestnut Man. I can start that one next week!"No worries, they give plenty of time to finish it :D Thanks for the update.

Christina wrote: "Ashley wrote: "I fell behind on the BOMs but I can do Chestnut Man and Two Can Keep a Secret, just going to be a little behind posting in the thread for Chestnut Man. I can start that one next week..."That book definitely takes a minute to get in to!
I'm trying to finish up Gideon today for exactly that reason. :-p
okay the library copy states it will be available anytime. will stop hold on Gideon.
Maritza wrote: "okay the library copy states it will be available anytime. will stop hold on Gideon."Hey Maritza, for your drifter book the genre has to be on the first page of the top shelves, so I will put this book as a cover color :D
Hey Teamies, I made up a story for the first section of books. Take a look at it on the Lust MP1 tab and tell me if you are cool with it. :D Also, I am not a creative story writer so..no judgements, lol. If you can come up with better, write one up :D
Minx wrote: "Hey Teamies, I made up a story for the first section of books. Take a look at it on the Lust MP1 tab and tell me if you are cool with it. :D Also, I am not a creative story writer so..no judgemen..."
I love it! Awesome job
It's a fun story but, and I don't know how important this is, you mixed up persons #one and #two. Also, maybe you wanna switch books and put Mr. Darcy into the little black dress? Extra kinky (; although Gideon in the dress is hilarious too hah!

I will ask Shelby what she thinks :D

Thanks, :D
So no one freaks, I hid 113 rows on our SS so that we didn't have to scroll so much. :D
Minx wrote: "So no one freaks, I hid 113 rows on our SS so that we didn't have to scroll so much. :D"You are a life saver!! That was starting to drive me a little bonkers
Oh yeah Minx I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.
It's not like we still need those 113 rows haha
Christina wrote: "It's not like we still need those 113 rows haha"That is what I was thinking. I figured if we needed them they are hidden so we can grab them. I left last week in case we were challenged on something but figure that at the end of this week I will hide them as well. :D
For story #2, I can read The Duke in My Bed because if I don't finish A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sunday, I can always count it later as it is a sin bingo. And from what I understand they count more than stories. Now if you want to use A Rogue by Any Other Name, in the instead, just let me know so I can finish it.
Mamacita wrote: "For story #2, I can read The Duke in My Bed because if I don't finish A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sunday, I can always count it later as it is a sin bingo. And from..."I would love for you to read that for story 2 BUT it is worth more as a cover color (5pts versus 3.1). So finish whichever book you are working on :D

ANOTHER MINI-CHALLENGE HAS BEEN POSTED.This week it is Avarice aka Greed. It is a Bingo challenge BUT I don't see where the bingo cards actually are. While I look for those, ya'll can have a peek at the rules:
Avarice Mini-Challenge
Here are the: BINGO CARDS
We will get them on the SS for easier viewing, lol, just need some time. :D
This challenge is the best one yet! I love bingo!!
Ashley wrote: "This challenge is the best one yet! I love bingo!!"lol, I do too! Just so everyone knows there is NO free space in the Bingo card. The GREED space is intended for a book that fits that word. :D
Okay Teamies, there is a Avarice Bingo Cards tab on the spreadsheet with the bingo cards. I think the best way to "claim" spots is to color code them. You will see that my name is off to the right with my chosen color filled in. Each of you can add your name in the cell under mine with your chosen color and let's try and do as many bingos as we can. (straight lines vertical, horizontal or diagonally)Each spot is worth 5 points
We get 7 points for each bingo (straight lines vertical, horizontal or diagonally)
Spots can be filled by: cover, title, genre, theme - be as creative as you want.
Let's try and focus our efforts on card 1 to start with :D UNLESS someone has a book that works for Rivieria, Midas, or Croesus because that would make a difference in the cards, lol.
Does anyone that read
, know if it fit any of those prompts? It doesn't look like it by reading what its about and searching for words but I'm hoping there is one in there!Nevermind I'm an idiot and one of the words from the title is literally there
Ashley wrote: "Does anyone that read, know if it fit any of those prompts? It doesn't look like it by reading what its about and searching for words but I'm hoping there is on..."lol, its ok :D
So besides it being on the cover or title how can we make it fit? Like what about finding the word in text or something?Also would the cover count for glittery? It looks like gold to me.
So this Avarice & part two of Lust will be going on at the same time?
Mamacita wrote: "So this Avarice & part two of Lust will be going on at the same time?"Yes, lol, you are correct.

If the word is used in the text or a character is the word such as queen, sheik, chairman, those could be used as well.
That cover does not look glittery to me. This is a good example:

Has glitter on the bottom and in the writing.
