Team Gluttony

[Kaley]

I agree with Tea. I look at it and my first thought is more yellow than green.

[Gareless]

hmmm i will use it for a yellow cover then! shame it isnt dystopia

Tineye says about 54% green...."

But we are not supposed to look there. We could get penalized just by mentioning that thing :)
This time we are supposed to use common sense and go by what we see. If we are not sure, captains ask other captains for their opinion

[Maddy]

I see.....

I can take it to the Captains for a second opinion if you want

[Gareless]

No don’t worry! Since it isn’t good for any type of bingo I was just trying to decide which color cover it would match, so if majority says yellow then yellow is good :D

I thought it looked green... but I think it kind of depends on the screen you see it on.

[Amy the book-bat]

what color would you call this one?

[Maddy]

Mostly orange?

I would also say orange, but I don't think it has enough of it to be used for color part. It doesn't look like it's over 50% to me

[Louise]

I would go with Orange but not enough to hit the 50% mark.

[Kaley]

I agree, I don’t think it’s enough of any one color

Countdown to End of Week 1

[Louise]

Please see above for countdown to end of week. We have a little over 3 days to go and have 17 books read. To avoid a penalty we need to hit 30 books.

Let us know how you are getting on with your reading. 😊

[Kaley]

I'll definitely finish my current book, and should be able to get in at least one more after that.

Great stuff 😊

[Hannah]

I'll make some headway on my book and finish it today or tomorrow.

[Chris]

I'll have another finished, too.

[Maddy]

Definitely going to finish 2 more books, maybe more.

[Louise]

Sin Bingo Rec’s
Envy

[Maddy]

Hmmm... 1 say 9 hours. I will have one more book I think. Maybe two.

[Maddy]

Do we still even need books? You said we need 18, we already had 21 when I looked yesterday. Are we still okay or will we get that "read over your limit penalty"?

[Louise]

Maddy wrote: "Do we still even need books? You said we need 18, we already had 21 when I looked yesterday. Are we still okay or will we get that "read over your limit penalty"?"

We need to read between 30 - 44 books to avoid a penalty, we are currently at 23 books.

[Maddy]

Hmm,yes, that makes more sense :)

I will have 1 more definitely, maybe 2

[Kaley]

I will finish 1 more, but probably not till tomorrow. I’ll make sure to finish it a few hours before deadline so there’s plenty of time for you to update spreadsheets!

[Hannah]

Finished From Dead to Worse. I won't be able to read much today but hopefully tomorrow I can start something new!

[Megan]

Should finish at least one more before the deadline.

[❀Tea❀]

One of my books took slower than I planned. Finally I got it done with audio. I'm half way done with another one.

[Louise]

Can we get a consensus on the following covers please, Color wise.

1️⃣

2️⃣

[Louise]

Less than 24 hours to go team. We are doing great.

Books pending are as follows:
Maddy 1/2
Megan 1
Tea 1
Louise 1/2

1. my book so I'm biased :P - depending how you see background. it's some grey-blue combination. I'm more inclined to go for safe and say no, than get penalty later
2. none of the colors has over 50%

[Maddy]

1. Blue
2. blue/brown

[Maddy]

Done with one book :)

I will see if I can finish another :)

[Amy the book-bat]

I will have 1 more book finished late tonight.

That was my feeling too, always helpful to get a second opinion though.

[Kaley]

Did we make it into the range to not get penalized? If not I can try to cram in a short book before the deadline. But if we’re good I’ll focus on starting something longer for week 2.

[Maddy]

SS says we have 32 books read, so we are good for this week I think :)

[LaurLa]

As of right now, we're have entered 36 books, which is almost exactly our average :-D

Our range for avoiding penalty is 30-44 books, so we are good on both ends at the moment.

There are just over 4 hours until week one ends. No need to rush to finish books, but if you do, please try to get them submitted within an hour of the deadline.

[Maddy]

I think I won't push to finish my book in the next hour since we are out of penalty zone. I will just read slowly and post later so it counts for round 2.

[Louise]

Well done team. We finished the week with 38 books.

[❀Tea❀]

Yay!

[LaurLa]

Go team!!!

[❀Tea❀]

I'm going to pick one of the longer books this week so i might end up bellow my numbers. if I notice it's taking me too long to finish it, I'll switch to something shorter so we don't end up behind.

[Gareless]

38 books nice!!!

[Louise]

My reading plan for this week:


Finish 448pgs + BOM
544pgs - Gluttony
386pgs - Sin Bingo Lust

[Hannah]

Does my personal % week to week matter, or is it just that the group in general doesn't go over 120% or below 80%? I noticed that since I finished a book this week my week 1 percentage was 160% and I don't want to screw us up.

From my understanding it's the group in general that matters -- that way if real life gets in the way for people, the other team members can make up the difference.

[Kaley]

I think for this week I'm going to start


I was originally going to wait to see if the least favorite books list ended up in a mini challenge, but there are plenty of other books I like/that are on my TBR from that list that I'll be able to pick up should that become relevant.

it's a group total, as long as our group total is within the range.

[Maddy]

How wonderful... Spammers... I will report it :D
