I found a few words and put them in the SS. Do 9 and 8 letter words count?

Wait none of the words in the SS work. I only found one word should I put it on the SS?
Ambi wrote: "Wait none of the words in the SS work. I only found one word should I put it on the SS?"Confused by your question Ambi...could you ask another way?
Lots of word choices. I've double checked most of your ideas and picked words that will give us a good range of letters. Our letters are now listed in the SS under 'letter'. If you could go ahead and pick a spot for your book...realize captains may need to move things around. We'll likely end up using a few shorter words if we don't have the exact books, but for now...let's concentrate on the longer books...these make up 36 books if my math is right.
If you have a choice...pick these letters 1st: N, Y, E, A, L ... these will be the more difficult letters.
Let us know if you have any questions or if you think we've missed something critical.
Happy reading!

Tammie, it says wriggly lines okay. That's why I chose those words.
In the Spell it out rules it said some challenges let you use character names, will that be applicable in this challenge?
Ambi wrote: "In the Spell it out rules it said some challenges let you use character names, will that be applicable in this challenge?"I’ll ask Ambi
******** Clarification....YES any speaking characters—first or last name are OK.********
Like last round, if you could claim a letter, but then write everything it works for, we’ll be able to move things around if needed
Thanks Ambi for thinking of this.

Sorry...I personally couldn’t find the words with touching letters, perhaps someone else could find them??

No issues. As long as we have the words and can continue reading :D

You are right Midu...
@ALL...I think the letters are pretty well covered...unfortunately the word search doesn't cover the entire alphabet...I think we have a good range.
Another super busy work week for me, I'll try and read a few shorter books so we have a chance at more letters...will do my best.
Happy reading!
Do I have to answer everyday's DQs to earn BOM points?

3 days worth of DQs done! Woohoo.
*****GLUTTONY*****Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
For this mini-challenge, your team is going to try to read higher and higher numbers in series. In other words, you're going to build a ladder of books from series, starting with the lowest and going as high as you can get.
However, they need to be finished consecutively. #3 cannot be finished before #1, and #10 cannot be finished before #6. You may skip numbers on your way up, but you cannot read for a number that is lower than the one that has been read previously. The ladder only goes up, not down.
◈ Only books finished between 25th November and 2nd December will count for the Gluttony mini challenge (i.e. books finished in week 8).
◈ Books will either count towards the main part of the challenge (the Seven Deadly Sins) or towards this mini challenge.
◈ It needs to be clearly visible on GoodReads which # in the series the book is.
◈ For books that are part of a sub-series (e.g. Discworld titles) we will be using the information on the book's main page. e.g. The Wee Free Men is #30 in the Discworld series, not #1 in the Tiffany Aching sub series
◈ Only whole number entries allowed (no in-between .1s).
◈ Books need to be finished in order.
◈ One ladder per team.
◈ You will gain 5 points per book in the ladder.
◈ As each ladder gains 3 rungs you will receive a bonus 10 points.
Q: What does everyone think about next weeks mini?Ideas on organizing ourselves?
Do we want to concentrate on reading for envy instead?
I’m open to what everyone would like to do...we’ll take next 24 hrs for ideas and then captains will organize how we’ll approach this.
***We are at 1.5 days left for ENVY. Please update the SS with what you plan to finish. We need about 10 more books to achieve the minimums.***
Thanks everyone!
We can plan out what books we are reading next week. Or we can appoint each member with a series #. I think this needs way more strategizing than the other mini challenges.
I have a #4 book that I planned to read for other challenges. So I can take #4.
Ambi wrote: "We can plan out what books we are reading next week. Or we can appoint each member with a series #. I think this needs way more strategizing than the other mini challenges."And they have to be read/finished in order if I’m reading this correctly.
I have a couple of higher series numbers. I’d be fine just reading / focusing on ‘envy’ books too.
Tammie wrote: "Ambi wrote: "We can plan out what books we are reading next week. Or we can appoint each member with a series #. I think this needs way more strategizing than the other mini challenges."And they ..."
Yep. I am game for either approach too. I do have some numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 24.
When Cecily posts her books we may reach the minimum.
I have two more books to post but it will have to be later today as I have to go to work and ran out of time.
I'm just wondering with how our group has been communicating if it's realistic for us to do this next mini properly. It's during a major US holiday too. Only a couple have weighed in on this...more thoughts are welcome!
I know I can read more because of the break. But i understand how others may have plans and may not be able to read that much.
Ambi wrote: "When Cecily posts her books we may reach the minimum."How many books are we short?
Ambi wrote: "Can I call dibs for #1? I want to read The Giver (#1 in series). Been wanting to read this forever."Cool with me.
Hey guys we need an E, Y, N and T. Then we will have 4 words. Midi, We are around 2 books short from reaching the minimum. Maybe we can grab short books to reach the minimum?
We can always read from the bad book list for points, if anyone isn’t sure when they will get done reading their number.
@Ambi--What is the character that starts with a D in 'Inspection' book. I show you aren't finished yet correct??@Tina I moved 'Two Can Keep a Secret' to our Mini
@Cecily I assigned 'Next' to our Mini
@Tina I show you are still reading 'Cry of the Firebird'
@Midu I'm guessing you are still reading 'Rules for Vanishing'
With the three books I show Midu, Tina and Ambi are reading...We are one book short of our minimum
***We need an A and a T to finish our words
His name is D. They are the Alphabet boys. :)
What letter do we need? I can find one
megan wrote: "What letter do we need? I can find one"You can read for T. That’s the only letter left unless we start a new word which we probably don’t have time for.
Ambi wrote: "megan wrote: "What letter do we need? I can find one"You can read for T. That’s the only letter left unless we start a new word which we probably don’t have time for."
My book will work for either A or T...so we need one of those. I put mine down for A
Ambi wrote: "His name is D. They are the Alphabet boys. :)"shows you what I know...thanks!
My book will also work for N...so if we need to switch things around we can to make it work.
**********GLUTTONY***********I've added a WSS for this week's mini.
Please remember books must be read in order of DATE!
If you claim a spot, be sure you are prompt in recording your finish date.
For this week...captains will not be able to move things around...so...if you prefer to read for a 'bad book' OR for 'sin bingo' OR whatever else...this is a good week to do so.
Please ask your questions here. If you need someone to enter a book completion for you...please enter in this thread and someone will help.
Thanks everyone...and happy reading!
Ok so the book I was initially planning to read was on hold for a few days and I didn’t want everyone to be held up on my account so I’m reading a different book. Just putting it out there. :)

I will try to get mine done before tonight
I have the 4th book in the Red Queen series I started last week, if you want me to cover number four Ambi
I have added a book 3 to the gluttony working spreadsheet page. I also have a book 1 which I will most likely finish tomorrow if you are not sure you can get yours done Ambi. Though Simon vs the homosapien agenda is a fun read so you will probably zoom through it I will see what I have in the way of 2s 5 s and 6s to read in the early part of this week as the biggest problem for me is that I am away from Wednesday night until Monday morning so I can’t guarantee what I will be able to read during that time. Which is a shame as I am up to 27 in the argeneau series and 42 in the in death seri3s which old be great for later in the week
I have a a 10 hour train trip each way so hoping to get some reading listening in there but again as I will have my 7 year old with me, there are no guarantees

In the mini challenge SS It’s showing that I read the Sorcery of thorns, which I did on the 19th. But on the main SS it’s Megan’s name on that row. How did that happen?
I finished my book!I have two assignments to work on this week so I don't think I'll get much reading done. I'm nearly finished with Wideacre though
Can we do #1, #1, #1, #2, #3, #3, #4 or does it have to be #1, #2, #3, #4?
Ambi wrote: "In the mini challenge SS It’s showing that I read the Sorcery of thorns, which I did on the 19th. But on the main SS it’s Megan’s name on that row. How did that happen?"Not sure Ambi...I switched it though

No repeating...it has to be a constant climb

Tina, you can take #1 if you want if it’s easier for you that way. :)
Regarding Midu's 'R'Megan we have the capability of moving things around with Cecily's completions. Midu can you confirm you won't finish in time?
