Jamie | 12275 comments @Izzy, I am assuming you mean this Make Your Bed Little Things That Can Change Your Life... And Maybe the World by William H. McRaven if this is wrong, let me know. There was a summary book with Williams but just WIlliam here (took a bit to find too...sneaky book!)


message 302: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments @Izzy I used This edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... to get our letters. It is also linked in the SS. This edition is a HUGE help with the Ts!!!

Ritika:

message 309: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Well I was going to message Maria but unable. So I commented on her status for finished Love Is Blind. Asked her is we can get some reviews up from her soon. So fingers crossed*.

Cool thanks I was thinking about contacting her myself. I'm just about to post up my next three. I'm trying to pick books to fit gaps hopefully I'm doing the right ones.

I'm hoping Maddie or Sarah can do an update tomorrow it's be nice to see how we are doing.

Haha, regardless the score we are doing a great job! Although seeing those points is nice...


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments It will be hopefully we have completed every board for the 4th time with the reviews up.

Adriana | 3733 comments I finished Airborn (Matt Cruse, #1) by Kenneth Oppel . My next book is The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand . I should have it done tomorrow. After that I have to read three more books by Monday.

Yay! I'm happy we got the fourth board done.

Added your next read. We are doing amazing! Now I got to step up my reading!


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments I wonder why our reviews haven't been counted in a few days again. others have had theirs counted. I'll just left a note on the main thread. Maybe they aren't getting he notifications again.


message 319: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments It looks like Sarah just did serious. Maybe she is working on Medium now? It seems like the teams that post the least get checked more often these past few months. But we shall see. Especially with the notification issues.

I made a comment we have around 18 books sitting there. I just don't want anyone moaning when it's not our fault. they have time and date stamps but still if we suddenly get 400 points the other team might think we doing something.

Yes, when you post your review, link to the edition we are using. I would just put it below the book cover, before sharign what lettering you are using and a comment that you are using that edition. :)

Be sure to still link to highest page counts though :)

Thanks! Great job.

I got you up. :) Again, using a different spelling edition for letters: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...


message 327: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments I got up my currently reading and my next up after that. Got my 24 readathon coming up so hope to do a lot. :)

I'll add more once I knock some of these out.


message 328: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments U is the most needed letter right now!

T, E, and O are also in high demand so if you got something now is the time. We have one week left.


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments I need to remove one off mine as it's a br but not until 31st so I'll search my books. for those letters. We should get a new score today as Sarah has marked my reviews.

She liked mine too. Probably has to pause to take care of things and will be back later :)

I also tried to connect Maria again. She keeps adding books to the SS and her GR account so she's been on but sadly not responding. :(


message 331: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Boards 5, 6, & 7 on the SS are full. Waiting on posts and books to be finished.
Well, then again, if one is being removed I might have to adjust a bit more lol.


message 332: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Well, I am off to go clean and listen to my audio book. Be back soon!


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Enjoy......woohoo our points are amazing i didn't think it'll jump up that much. On second thoughts I'll leave it on the ss as I'll read it in time to post. Plus i need to add a review (I'll do it in the morning) which will finish off the middle tagline another time. This is addictive. I want to try to get us to 2000 points before the end.


message 334: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Don’t forget we can also start brs up to 7 days early


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments That is true Jamie I was going to start it at least a day early anyway to make sure I finish it on time.


message 336: by Mummy's Naughty Corner (last edited Oct 24, 2019 01:46PM) (new)

Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Ok I've added a few more books but I think that will basically take me to the end. If i can read more I'll chose books on the day for letters. We have done well and should complete every tagline at least 7 times if we can read and post all the books. Maybe have a few extra if all boards are put together. I think that's amazing.


message 337: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Where does the single E come from for my book: The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand? I'm trying to post my review.


message 338: by Adriana (last edited Oct 24, 2019 01:50PM) (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments The TH as well can't be right if we are counting the T as well.

And the standalone E.

Yeah something went weird... Give me a minute.

Th is from cynTHia. So you get T from The and then TH. As for the E I can't work that out either. Just list the 4 letters for now and then when Jamie gets on if she can work it out she'll tell you were it is and we will ask Maddie or Sarah to add it on.


message 341: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Ok, T is using the, TH is using the th in Cynthia. Re-working the E. No idea about that...


message 342: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments And moved off the E, to an H for THE (tHE truth is out there)


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Jamie wrote: "Ok, T is using the, TH is using the th in Cynthia. Re-working the E. No idea about that..."

Do you think it was supposed to be li but someone noticed that makes 6 letters and it just ended up in e by mistake?


message 344: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Mummy, to cover that E and get her H onto a sooner board I altered How to dance an undead waltz by Haliey Edwards a bit. moved your E to cover hers on the other tagline


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments That's fine I always said move mine around if you need to.

Short of going back through a lot of history I have no idea. I might have even done something wonky.

On the plus side we have a lot of H's covered. The bad part is I have a couple THE books that are likely to come up with little other option (well I will check languages still). Oh well lol. We are still in the lead.


message 347: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12275 comments Alright, back to my book now hehe...

Sorry for the confusion Adriana. You should be good now. :)


message 348: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Thanks! Will post my review now. Not sure about my next book. Will let you know tomorrow.
