Not adding books I own physical copies of to my GR TBR list is biting me in that a$$. I used to add them, but then I got a place with a second bedroom to hoard books in, and stopped. Same with Kindle Unlimited books. I just add them to an Amazon list.

Midu wrote: "Tammie wrote: "Ambi wrote: "I had to finish reading some books for other challenges and they were black. Was hoping to put them for color cover but ughh... Should I put them in or wait if we don’t ..."I’m not sure exactly what you are asking your books works for.
To qualify for ‘envy’ it need to fit one of these 3 criteria:
Envy
܀Green
Or
܀Young Adult
Or
܀Books that members from other teams have read (during 2019)
Your book probably will work for one of the others if it doesn’t work for envy..,we aren’t required to only read for envy.
See post #7 for all of your options

Can I please just clarify that if we fill out our completed books on the spreadsheet then we don't also have to put them in the completion thread? Or is it better that we do both?
If you pop them on the spreadsheet then no need to use completion thread. :-)

I have gone through all the audios on my librarys overdrive and have them want to read on a shelf under the library name then I have a first in series, next in series, and stand alone shelves to easier track and it is amazing for these challenges. I am reading green cover books. This is so fun and scratches my nerdy book challenge hunting itch lol
Can someone tell me how many books I said I could read? I don't remember and I want to make sure I don't go over
Cecily wrote: "Can someone tell me how many books I said I could read? I don't remember and I want to make sure I don't go over"20 books per month, 5 per week
Can someone send me the link to how I can check the percentage of a color on a book?

Not enough purple" I thought so too, but it is always good to check.
Oh man. I should have done higher!! I have 1 more to add and 1 I am almost finished. And the week ends Sunday right?
Cecily wrote: "Oh man. I should have done higher!! I have 1 more to add and 1 I am almost finished. And the week ends Sunday right?"Me too!! I've had to make myself slow down my reading...and yes it ends sunday. There is a countdown on the main thread of rules.
If anyone can't complete their numbers during the weeks let me know. I can always pick up some slack
Cecily wrote: "If anyone can't complete their numbers during the weeks let me know. I can always pick up some slack"You can let me know as well! :)
We can go up to 120% so how many extra books would that be with out group ??
Cecily wrote: "If anyone can't complete their numbers during the weeks let me know. I can always pick up some slack"Ok I had midterms this week so I couldn't do enough reading. I would be able to finish 2 more books at max. That leaves room for one.

Cecily, you want to take this extra one?
I would add all books for now on to the working spreadsheet as the 120% is as a team so a couple of extra books for you might make up for someone who has had a slower week. Tammie, Megan and I can keep track of percentages to ensure we don’t go too far over as a team
I’ll add there are 20 empty spaces on the SS...so there’s plenty of room for your extras. With just under 2 days remaining...everyone please add what you for sure can finish! Please read on team Invidia :)
umm, blue or purple??
in real life it is extremely purple, but I wanted a second opinion.
Mary wrote: "umm, blue or purple?? in real life it is extremely purple, but I wanted a second opinion."
I need to take this one to the captains. I’ll support purple but it’s really close. Will report back ASAP.
Probably shouldn’t take it to the captains group. They want us to start making our own group decisions on color. And will be penalizing groups who continue to bring color questions to the table. I always go with TinyEye.
Unless it has a color in the color name, but doesn’t say that color in parenthesis. Ex: “63% Berry Blue (Violet)” then there is a good argument that blue can trump the violet. This can happen with reds and pinks and purples.
A Raspberry Razzmatazz or similar name for purple/pink from Cutthroat Book Club gave me nightmares.

One said no, one yes and no other replies. To Megan’s point the color thread is being shut down so teams will have to make the call. To Megan’s comments you are good to go with purple if you want to read this one
@All... if someone inquired on color, feel free to chime in your opinion.

I have just read one green book. Reading the second one but I may not finish on time. Two others don't match the genre, color, or sin categories
and
Do I still add them for page count?
Midu wrote: "I have just read one green book. Reading the second one but I may not finish on time. Two others don't match the genre, color, or sin categories [bookcover:The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe|3460..."Yes please.
Add all books you read to the spreadsheet and the your TT shelf and we will find a place for it :-)

Alright i posted my last book of the week. I started reading a new Eleanor and Park but I don't think I would be able to finish on time.
Sorry guys it was midterm week for me. I'll give my best next week. :D
Midu see the SS for changes I made to 2 of the books you read. One you had as sin bingo...however the version was yellow vs green. The only green version I see is audible...so I moved it to sin clasification instead. If you read the audible version, that is the version you need to shelve. The other book was just clasified incorrectly. Let me know if you have questions about these changes. Thanks,
Ambi--Wicked Lovely...needs to be added to your tt shelf. It shows the book was added 2 days ago vs on your shelf 2 years. Is the version different somehow? Pls correct the book version if needed and/or link both somehow so it shows on your shelf for 2 years...I hope this makes sense.
Can books started during this week be used for next week? Or do they have to be started after the start of the week?
Cecily wrote: "Can books started during this week be used for next week? Or do they have to be started after the start of the week?"Yes....anything not finished in time for this week can roll to next. You can go ahead and record something you know you’ll finish in the following week...I think Nikk has a few there already.
So ifI start a 800+book next week and finish it in week 9 or something, it will count right?

as long as you have started since TT started, we just count it in the week you finish.
And yes I have already moved a couple to week 2 that I know won't be done in time for this week's check in
Ambi, a couple of your books don't appear to have been shelved on your TT shel. May i please ask you to shelve them so I can add them to the official spreadsheet?
I'm working on a few more but some of them are pretty long. I apologise for that.
Tammie wrote: "Midu see the SS for changes I made to 2 of the books you read. One you had as sin bingo...however the version was yellow vs green. The only green version I see is audible...so I moved it to sin cla..."Lesson learned. Will confirm the color with tinywhatsit website before I pick my next book. Thank you for the help 😁

I read one while the cover's white, it had more than 300 pages, and the lead was envious of others because of body issues. Works even if the genre wasn't YA, right?
