Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion
Tower Teams VII
>
Team Gluttony
what are you using for criteria part? if it's series, I don't think those first books work. only primary works count for series number. boxed sets and similar stuff don't count.but I'm on app and half asleep already so I might be missing something obvious :)
Regarding Envy... what is the best way to check to see if members from other teams have read something? My only thoughts were that we’d have to check individual members’ shelves or creep on other team spreadsheets once the challenge started, but that didn’t seem super efficient. Any better options? I know a few green YA books so I just need that third criterium.

I was half asleep when putting that list together

I own two of those books you listed that I could definitely read.

Both have editions with majority green covers and have YA on on the first page of top shelves. . . just unsure about that third criteria.

ETA: Jammin Jenny also Read Fangirl in May this year
Is anyone planning on reading the BOM, links to them are on the first page.

Back Room - Starts 20 October
Save The Date
Save the Date by Annabeth Albert
Pages: 153
Sins: Vanity; Wrath
Maybe Wilder girls. But doubtful. Unless you really need me to ;D

I’ll read the Back Room BOM. I’ll try to read the other two if I can, but my library has a decent size waitlist for both of those so I’m not sure I’ll be able to get them in time.
I was already planning on reading Wilder Girls. So that works out
Ohhh graceling!! I’ve had that book on my shelf for years! Perfect excuse to finally pick it up and read it
I'll be reading the Backroom BOM too. Should be an easy/quick on for me since it's a reread ;-)
I can't believe this starts in less than a week already! I guess I better get planning.I know for sure that I'm going to be starting Outlander...I bought it a few months ago and have been waiting till a challenge where the big page count would matter for something to read it!
I downloaded Save the Date for BOTM, do we get more points if multiple people participate?
Another potential sin bingo candidate for vanity:
-Looks majority purple to me.
-Contemporary on first page of top shelves
-Not sure what it takes to be considered an "LGBT" book -- a few of the major characters are LGBT, just not the main couple. LGBT is in the first page of top shelves though.

A lovely 170pts 😉
Charlie wrote: "I downloaded Save the Date for BOTM, do we get more points if multiple people participate?"Yes and no. For each member of the team that reads the book we get 15.3 points. For participating in the BOM discussion there’s an additional 20pts to be had.
There are also 40pts available for writing discussion questions, I’ve volunteered for this but we are in the hands of the randomiser.
There is a prize at the end of TTVII for the team that gets the most BOM points, we currently have 5 people planning to read this book which is worth 175 points.

Nice catch Kaley

It’ll take me a while to get through but with that point count it’ll be worth it!
The mods are up to something with the worst book recommendations, right? I'm guessing some sort of side challenge, maybe... I doubt they'd want to know all our least favorite books for fun....It looks like someone put Outlander on that list, so I may not start that one till we know what's up with the list. Don't want to miss out on any extra points by reading it too early!

Why would you think something like that! *shocked*
We just like looking at nice covers (even if it's lousy book) :P

Suuuuure, I believe it :-P
I'm sure whatever it is will be sinfully fun, at the very least!
A little over 26 hours to go get those books ready.I’m starting with
p448
p375 and sin bingo
For what sin is sin bingo? Can't figure it out. Sadly my cover is white one so I can't join you :(

I thought you are trying for gluttony which got me very confused :P
I still have no idea what'll be my first book.
❀Tea❀ wrote: "I thought you are trying for gluttony which got me very confused :P"That’s ok, trying to multi-task my challenges ;£
Oh wow. The SS is an awful shade of pink :D Do we need to request editing rights or will only captains have that honor? ;D
Do we have a clear strategy? I am still sketchy about the whole bingo thing, so is it okay if I just read for points?
LaurLa and I will fill in the SS. Post books completed in the Books Read Thread making sure you link the edition you read.
By all means read for points, we’ll allocate sins to each book read to maximise points.
When the MODs announce the mini-challenge there more directive tasks. 😊
I'm planning to read
it's 880 pages.
I still have to figure out what I'm reading. I had a few things planned and then they ended up being in the favorites/bad book lists so I'm going to hold off for now till I see if they become relevant for mini challenges...
November BOM’s are up and 
is currently £0.99 on kindle UK
Round 1 has begun, happy reading everone
I'll plan on reading
for BOM Nov. challenge
I'm starting
right now, since its a sin bingo.
finished Save the Date, it was quick and easy! I might pick up one of those pink sin bingos I recommended earlier, i have both handy at at home :)
Charlie wrote: "finished Save the Date, it was quick and easy! I might pick up one of those pink sin bingos I recommended earlier, i have both handy at at home :)"Don’t forget to take part in the discussion when it’s up for extra points.
How is everyone doing, we are a day in and have 3 books on the board. Finished my first book of the week and have started
on audio. It’s good so far. I’ve also started
I love this series and I’ve just realised it may count for a purple book. Doing a hunt of pink books in my physical home library this afternoon see what I can find.
I started my first book yesterday so I'm working on that now. It's one of our sin bingo options.
I also started on a sin bingo! 
I might also start on
would y'all say the cover is more green than yellow?

nice!! thank you
hm... looks more yellow to me. Unless that's some special shade of green (I don't always notice those)
