Perfect...I'm updating now. Waiting on 1 more book to check in.
Thanks everyone!
Overall UpdateWe are #1 for the Vanity Charm...most books read for our Sin! woohoo.
Dead last for Lust...not in real good favor with the Mods I'm sorry to say.
For this week...I'll suggest that if you have a book that will work for 'Envy' to put your book there vs toward the mini. The mini is perfectly fine too...but if there is a choice...consider this option.
We're in the middle of the pack for most of the other charms.
Overall status: Team ENVY is just under SLOTH

Happy reading everyone!

We lost points for another team calling us out....and we lost points for a late check in...it was 1 hr after the week ended. You can see the details in the mods points tab on the main.
We're all checked in for 32 books...Finished 4 words plus 2 extra...nice work everyone!
Now for a week of Gluttony or whatever!
I’m gonna be done with #1 in an hour. :)

If the extras are optional, then why are we out of favor? Not blaming you, Tammie. Just asking if the mods' behavior makes sense.
Hey mods, was my extra points counted for writing DQ for Two Can Keep a Secret?

Omg some people take this so seriously and they become so aggressive I don’t understand that at all. I mean, it’s for fun. Whether we win or lose,it doesn’t matter cause we made new friends, read new books, that’s the point right? But some people just go crazy and say that the mods are being unfair and start becoming aggressive to other team members. (I’m talking about other challenges) people need to CALM DOWN!
#1 done. Megan you’re on. :D

So I haven't let the mods deductions worry me too much. All of us can only do what we can do. There is a strict deadline which was published and I missed it...oh well...you are right...it's just a book challenge. We're doing fine everyone...keep doing what you are doing and let's continue to have our fun :)
Yay I’m having a lot of fun and this is my first towers challenge. I feel so lucky to be in this team. :)

Wait I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't I have gotten 40 points instead of 20 points though? I wrote the day 2 questions and answered all of them too
It's too late now isn't it to put it in? D:
From all the other team challenges I've been in in this group, I've found that mods have definitely gotten stricter but I don't think it's a bad thing. A lot of people 'cheat' or bend the rules to win, and I think the mods have just set more rules to make it fair to everyone playing and therefore more enjoyable.I'm in Turf Wars and I'm just staying away from the drama there.
So I definitely agree with you Ambi! Have fun, read new books, challenge yourself and make new friends! That's what I focus on ;P

Yes...Let me get that corrected pronto! Thanks Tina for keeping us on our toes :)
It's actually 60 pts ... woohoo!!
Having a start and end time at such an odd hour has really messed w it’s me. The Daylight Savings Time threw me off balance just as I was getting used to the Sunday afternoon thing.

oh yay! That's awesome! (:
We should also add the time so that we can show we did finish it after the previous book in the ladder.
Ambi wrote: "We should also add the time so that we can show we did finish it after the previous book in the ladder."Okay. AEDT.
Ambi wrote: "Anyone has any book after #5?"I have these: 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 24.
Ooh great Midu. Do you wanna put yourself down for 6 and 7?
I think I'll take a 6 and 24, so that others have room to fit in. I will start with the 6th to give you guys time. That good?
Or does it have to be consecutively ascending order?
Midu wrote: "Or does it have to be consecutively ascending order?"It doesn't have to be consecutive...meaning we can skip...said another way...we just have to move UP/ascending
Tammie wrote: "Midu wrote: "Or does it have to be consecutively ascending order?"It doesn't have to be consecutive...meaning we can skip...said another way...we just have to move UP/ascending"
What I gathered too. So, I will leave the 24 for as long as I can.
I think it might be a good idea to PM the next person in line when done...
Tammie wrote: "I think it might be a good idea to PM the next person in line when done..."Oooh good idea. So do I wait to begin the 6th?
Ambi wrote: "I have an 8"So, I will let you know when I am done?
I have about 5% left of my book 3 so will be done shortly then starting on a book 9. If I get closer to the end of my book 9 before time, I will start on a new book and come back and finish it after the 8 is done
@ Midu...what Nikk said in #788...you don't have to wait to start...but you do need to wait to finish...I do have a number 7 that I can start to listen to...should be good to finish in here. The SS shows Midu reading for #7...but looking through this thread, I'm thinking that was recorded incorrectly.
Midu if you are online, can you confirm you are not reading for #7 ??
Thanks,

I’ve just finished book #5You are next Midu
I can finish book #7 tomorrow as needed...I’m about 1/2 done
I have 11, 12, and 13. I seem to have a lot of 2s, 6s, and 7s, that I am next on for my series
Yay Cecily it would be great if you get 11-13 done. :)

I have started reading. Thanks for the heads up!
We have such a great head start! Great job guys!Also I am reading a few bad books this week but since we get 10 bonus points after every 3 books, maybe I can switch to series number? Let me know.
