HELLO TEAM! We've totally got this in the bag! I'm not sure 100% what I'm reading next month, but I know I'll be finishing up these:
Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly The Evil Queen (The Forest of Good and Evil, #1) by Gena Showalter Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) by Richelle Mead
And will also be reading
A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer Serpent & Dove (Serpent & Dove, #1) by Shelby Mahurin

I'll let you all know what I'm reading anyway, I'm very chatty


message 6: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6944 comments Checking in :)


I need to get my head around this challenge. Do we need something to track what we have covered to get lines complete? Or am I overthinking haha


message 7: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments Hey everyone :) Im checking in. I am at work, so I will post what I am reading later.


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments It's all going to come down to the bonus points for the taglines. We need to decide if we all want to work on a specific one as a team or just wing and see which we finish first.


message 9: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments Do we have to finish one first before we can get credit for another one or is it like April's challenge?


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments You can work on all of them.


message 11: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
I think we should have a doc ss (provided EVERYONE uses it, sorry previous issues coming out XD) because if people are using phrases or words or multiple letters from each title, then we're definitely going to get confused, and have too many of certain letters and not enough of current ones.

I need to re-read the rules myself for this challenge, it's a lot to get my head around. I may as well re-start both Stepsister and Evil Queen so we can count those bonus points.


message 12: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6944 comments I think some kind of document would be good (hopefully serious means that people would use it). As the more we can work towards completing titles, the more bonus points we can get!


message 13: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Yeah exactly. And while I know there are many letters that span the three phrase options, I'd like to complete phrases rather than have 5 of one letter everywhere and 0 of another letter. I think we did that really well in the MMC anyway (Courtney, Ash, Shae and I). I'm sure Hannah and Leah will be chatty as well :D


message 14: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Maddie if you want I have made an SS that I was going to let others use. I have some formulas that I'm still figuring out but if you like it you can use it. :)

message 15: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6944 comments Definitely worth us working together as a team to complete the lines to get the bonus points!


message 16: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Thanks Book!


message 17: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments NP. Let me know if you like it and if I can change anything for you. ^_^

So far I have it set so that if you put a key word like TRUST it will highlight the title. I can't figure out how to make it work for multiple ones though. :/


message 18: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
I think we might need a few more lines, to account for people reading the letter more than once. But I'm sure someone can figure that out :D


message 19: by ☆☆Hannah☆☆ (last edited Sep 24, 2019 10:23PM) (new)

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments Everybody here is going to have no problem using the SS. Leah and I were on your team for Wheel of Fortune. We remember how important SS's are and the drama it causes if you don't.

I was going to just use multiple sheets. Is it easier to do the lines?


message 21: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
I think so, or somehow putting it on one page, so we can see how many people are reading for what letter.

@Hannah: True, so this is basically the exact same team from then? :D


message 22: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Minus Jamie of course

But let's see what everyone else thinks.

message 29: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments I am okay with whatever you guys want to do!


message 30: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments So I know I want to get to A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas and Shadowcaster (Shattered Realms, #2) by Cinda Williams Chima considering I was suppose to do them this month, but ran out of time. Both are Buddy reads. I am going to go look at the October list and see what I can join in on and give a more accurate list here in a little bit.

message 32: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6944 comments I wasn’t on your team for MMC 😝 but I will use a ss as I like completing lines and working towards bonus points. I usually do random audios for this, so the ss will be good to track what random ones to jump in on.

I also want to do acomaf! But no other plans yet :) maybe finish up royally screwed series too.


message 33: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments Ohhh! I wanted to do Royalled Screwed in September too. If the thread is still good I might do that one for this challenge to.


message 34: by Ashleigh (new)

@Ash: Yay! I think Serpent and Dove's set for the 1st.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'd like to do more KU next month, but we'll just see :) Not really planning dates for things as that's stressful. But I do only have 2 weeks of classes before exam stuff starts. So I'll have free time amongst my study


message 36: by Maddie (last edited Sep 25, 2019 04:40AM) (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Also if anyone wants to read this series, please let me know! I'm wanting to re-read #1 and get to the rest while I remember about them! #1 was one of my favourite books of last year! They are available on KU!
The Hundredth Queen (The Hundredth Queen, #1) by Emily R. King The Fire Queen (The Hundredth Queen, #2) by Emily R. King The Rogue Queen (The Hundredth Queen, #3) by Emily R. King The Warrior Queen (The Hundredth Queen, #4) by Emily R. King


message 37: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments So I just wanna make sure I understand the rules. So for A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas I can claim the OU for the truth is out there tagline, and then claim the A, O, and T for the I want to believe tagline for max points right?


message 38: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments If it is Shadowcaster will only count for S, S and W with a different edition. That kind of sucks. I will be trying to get mass points for all the rest I plan to read.


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments I'm going to go through my shelves and see what I can do. This bonus stuff seems hard and confusing.


message 40: by Courtney (last edited Sep 25, 2019 12:04PM) (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments I asked Sarah the same question for ACOMAF so we will see what she says. I think I got if down, but I wanna make sure.


message 41: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments I dont know if this will help us at all, but I figured I would post it anyways. T's and E's are the most we need, but they are easy so I am not to worried about any of this :)
A 1
B 1
E 6
H 3
I 3
L 1

Yes that's right :) You just have to clearly state what letters in which words you want to work towards

It's going to be tough scoring, as people are going to be confused and so I'll have to make heaps of notes of who needs chasing up! Aaahhhh

That will definitely be a headache but it will get better as the month goes on. :)

True


message 48: by ☆☆Hannah☆☆ (last edited Sep 25, 2019 04:00PM) (new)

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments I'm looking for titles I own for actual words in the title. I will probably end up doing mostly individual letters. However, we need a SS this way we don't all try to do the same thing.


message 49: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Yeah exactly, Book posted one above for us :) I think if we start to fill it in now we can get a start right at the start of the month. I think we should also still only be putting what we're currently reading on their, or what we will finish in the next 2-3 days. Just so it's somewhat accurate

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53670 comments Mod
Managed to get max bonus points with my first read of the month, Serpent and Dove! And I've gotten the V out of the way, which is tricky.
Counted it for
AN in WANT (AND)
VE in BELIEVE (DOVE)
S in TRUST (Serpent)
