And yayy team on beating the DARK! :D
Hello Lightning Crafter team!I just want to thank you all for the effort during the read-a-thon duel. :)
Was only with the help from all the Light teams that we could beat the Darkness.
Well played!!

Note:Individuals can only find each item once, but multiple people on a team can find the same item. So if two people on the team read a book with a dog on the cover, both would claim 5 points, but that same person couldn't then claim "dog" again

Books I plan to read in the next few months
and most likely more to come
Maybe we could do a BR
Hey team! Don't forget to look for the various Australian words from the latest challenge:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
When you claim your read books, if you've found even one item in your book (title, on cover, word within the book) claim it in your post so we can get bonus points! You can only do one word per book, but a lot of these are pretty easy to find in a lot of your books!
If the majority of us claim a word, we can get an additional 30 points (we need 75% of our team to do so!).
This goes for our reads from Jan 23 through Jan 31!

When you claim..."
ahhh damn and I just saw "lobster" in Hellhole last night. will update when I get home!
Also for the challenge if you could make a note of the word and where/how you find it on your post on the READ BOOKS thread that will help so I don't miss any when I put them on the official spreadsheet! Thanks guys!
I have been looking through the book I am reading but not finding anything. I am reading pretty little liars.

I am reading pretty little liars."There's a few in there....GUY, BEER, POOL...probably more...keep your eyes looking! They are there! Just find them and make note of the sentence so you can include the sentence and page # or Location!
I am reading
I can get Beer, Birds, Bridge, Bush, Coal, Desert, Dog, Drill, English, and a lot more
This was a question asked by some one else: This Australian Day challenge looks super fun, but I'm a little confused as to what this means... if more than 75% of your team members find an item, you will get a bonus 30 points! So it sounds like we should try to find the same words to get the 30 pt. bonus? Or does that just mean if more than 75% of our team participates by finding any word we get the bonus? Just trying to figure out if we should be getting as many different words as possible or trying to co-ordinate finding the same words. The answer was this: Allison Ann wrote: " Or does that just mean if more than 75% of our team participates by finding any word we get the bonus?"
That one
So we need 10 of our 13 teammates participate and we will earn the bonus points and the sheet should calculate it once we reach this percentage.
That's what I've gathered....so we can only use one word per book, so Lizz Neill, where you can find many, we only can claim one for that book (just pick any of them). Do we have that many active members in our team? I lose track of how many people we have since we're kind of a quiet group! if that's the case, then we need 10 people minimum to claim a word (doesn't have to be a unique word, someone else can have already used it from what I understand). So I've used MOUNTAIN and ISLAND, but someone else can also use ISLAND.
I think that's what I've gathered! I see a few posts people have made in the last few days for read books...if you can, go back and see if you can find one of those words in the book. Each word we claim gets us points!
Yes we have 13 members and so far 3 have posted found words (Me, TaraJo, and Lizz)
I claimed sheep and summer so far
I finished my book before this started. Hope to finish pretty little liars tomorrow since I am off work due to snow.
I'll be trying my best to find the words for this as well! Let me check back on the books I've read since 23rd... Do you guys want me to post it here?As long as the word appears in the book, we're good yeah?

If you're checking books that you've already posted in the READ thread then yes add them here so I don't miss them. Thanks!
I posted words in the READ tread that I found. Should I post it here, too.

Hehe, thanks guys! I'm freshly unemployed, loads of time to spare :P Thankfully these were all ebooks, which made the search really easy.
I've found mate and drill in the two books I've read so far this week. I still need to update the Read thread, which I'm hoping to have time to do later today!

The Lady Isabella and the Many Sins book aren't one your tower teams shelves so if you could add those then I can add the Australia points to the spreadsheet, thanks!

Done! Thanks Erin :)
just posted my read books and I claimed Sand and Chris
Hi Team. I haven't checked in so I just now heard about the Australia challenge. I'll go through and see what I can find.
Southern The Awakening "..the luxuriant warmth of some perfect southern day." p. 58 1/24/15Solar The Sunne in Splendour "He saw Richard as the boy bolted through the doorway of the solar". p. 7 1/30/15
Oil Child of the Prophecy"...high with pelts of squirrel and winter hare, with sealskins and oil" p.559 1/29/15
Colin Main character named Colin. The Good Girl 1/26/15
Alright cool. We now have 7 members having found words if 3 more can find some soon then we'll get the bonus points!
I posted my book and I found Summer in it and also posted that in the thread.Summer found on pg 1 in Pretty Little Liars 1/30/15
I just noticed that one of Ari's books has an author's name as Colin so we should be able to use that book. That should give us 9 people participating so far. The book is titled Under Wildwood.
We can also use Ashley's book A Raisin in the Sun because Sun is one of the words. That would give us 10 people that participated.
When will this be ending btw? I'm in a different timezone and it's already 1st Feb here but I think I can add two more words...
Hey guys! Sorry for being MIA in the past week! :(Is this scavenger thing still on..??
The scavenger hunt is over, but we did get the 30 bonus points because 10 people found words!
Sorry everyone....I didn't get much reading done this past week and am a bit behind in claiming things, but I found at least my one word that counted for me!! Great job for everyone doing what they could to get those bonus points!
We have been such a quiet team this whole process!!! Everyone's just doing their own thing reading books! Looks like this may be wrapping up in the next week or two from the looks of the numbers....hope everyone enjoyed it and has read some good books in the process!
I'm probably so quiet here because I am so busy on the Hogwarts challenge! :-)
LOL! I have NO IDEA what you mean, Sandy!! LOL!
:-)It looks like we have a winner as of about an hour ago.
It was nice chatting with y'all!
I'm sure we'll see each other around on the boards.
See you in future challenges!
Sorry to see this challenge over and so quickly. IT was great being on this team. I too have been busy with the Hogwarts challenge and not being chatty in here. Now all I have to worry about is the Hogwarts challenge since all my challenges have now ended.
It was so quick. See ya around Hogwarts! Have fun everyone!
I expected this to last a bit longer. It was great to meet y'all and learn what you like to read. Thanks Erin & Monica for leading the charge. See ya around GR.
Happy reading!
awww no wonder -- I thought it was weird that I was the only one still posting books xD /is a month late/
