Just posted which will give us 22 points. I am also almost done with , but I just saw that poetry has to be 600 pages long for it to count so I am going to pair it with . So it might be a couple days before I post it. At this point I plan on using the love book for the bonus, but if you guys want me to use Rebound instead just let me know :)

[Courtney]

Leah for you can do "the" and "er" in the truth is out there for max points.

[Courtney]

I finished . I will be starting , and next.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm about to finish up . I also hope to finish up 2 shorter books that I will combine to get points. I also plan on joining the BR for .

[Courtney]

Yay! Playing With Her Heart is short and an easy 22 points.

Also you can use the L, and ER for Love, Sincerely,
Yours to get max points. We dont have to finish a tagline before we can start it over again.

[Courtney]

Just letting you know some of the books are now on page 2 on the spreadsheet.

I added the other letters for Love. Sincerely, Yours to page two.

[Shae]

I should be finished royally matched tonight, was going to use the E from authors name for the e in “trust no one”
Then this edition

The “tr” for trust and the r for one of the rs.

Just thought I’d check that’s the maximum I can do before I post, as I can’t find any other ideas that are more, but I have baby brain 😝

[Maddie]

So you've got
E in ONE
TR for TRUST
R in THERE

You can also do the I for I :) That gives max points

[Shae]

Awesome thanks!

Don’t know how I missed the I haha

[Courtney]

You can also do "ON" in one as well if you wanted to.

[Courtney]

I will be finishing Witch's Cauldron within the hour. I thought I would finish it this morning, but once it hit 2 am my body went nope. Lol

[Courtney]

Finished and posted . I plan on starting , , and today. Hopefully I can get at least one of them done.

[Courtney]

We are ao close to finishing up "Trust No One" and " I Want to Believe". That should give me motivation to finish two out of the three books today considering they work for those letters.

[Shae]

Good job Courtney!!

I finished royally matched, will post in the morning. Also have started playing with her heart.

[Courtney]

Do you guys think "OU" or "VE" will be harder to come by? I am just trying to fugure out what poetry book I should use for letters.

*P.S. This is what I would use for each book.
: OU, R or A, AN
: AN, I, VE

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I personally think OU might be harder but I could be wrong.

[Courtney]

Thats what I was thinking to, but I didn't know what everyone else had planned.

[Shae]

I think OU, only because are you thinking of the VE in believe? We have that buddy with the word (not sure if maddie will jump in with that too as it’s on our Libby). Also Maddie and Ashleigh had serpent and dove which had the VE

[Courtney]

Okay :) I will switch it to OU. Yes, we still have that book, and that would be cool if she can join. I forgot about Serpent and Dove. Opps!

[Jill]

@Ash: I picked up from the library today and it is so big. I'm v intimidated lol. Idk if I'll do it. And idk about Serpent & Dove for this month..not feeling fantasy atm. Are you all set for NBRC?

@Shae: hows the newborn?? Still managing your reading?

@Maddie: great job mod'ing so far!! are you still able to keep up with your reading with this new fancy job :D

[Ashleigh]

@Jill I read the first chapter of The Little Stranger and had no idea what I was getting myself into. It's so big and I've never read Sarah Waters before so I think I'll have to just do a couple of chapters a day or whatever. I definitely can't binge it!

Yeah I'm ready for NBRC. Not sure what my first book will be. Probably Gideon the Ninth as I've been picked to ask DQs around the 10th so I wanna read it first before then.

[Maddie]

@Jill: Uhhhmmmmm nope I'm not keeping up. I just spent over an hour trying to figure out Conduit scores. It's all just such a mess I haven't even read one book yet this month. Tomorrow I've got the day off though so I'm going to get at least one book finished.

[Maddie]

Guys I'm confused with the spreadsheet. Can someone please help me sort it out. I'm getting more points for Leah, but can't figure out how to add them to the ss. I planned on reading tonight but scores are kicking my ass and if I wanted to finish them I'd still have another probably good 2 hours to go. It's 11.40pm so I'm not sure how late I can stay up. So I'm just going to post what I've done on the review thread.

[Ashleigh]

I'm creating another page and I'll put the books that have been posted onto the separate page so hopefully that'll help you out Maddie :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I'll have to look into that tomorrow. Thanks Ash. Just done our scores. We're quite a fair way behind Conduit, but we can do it. I'm finishing 2 books tomorrow.

[Maddie]

I've caught up with scores, going to close up some of the series threads now and listen to audio for a bit until I get super tired and can't stay awake anymore. Need to keep on top of things.

[Shae]

@jill Luka is good, she is one month old today 😍 still reading, but have felt a little bit of a slump the last few days. I’m back on it now though. I think just getting my head into the new challenge 😝


So I just posted royally matched, it is time consuming posting it all to make sure it makes sense of where I’m taking letters. And the ss is confusing me, but I think I’ve added my book into the right spots.

I’m 20% with playing with her heart, so am going to listen to some more now as well as through the night. Should I be using the same bonus letters as you posted Courtney?

[Maddie]

@Shae: I think do that if there isn't any other places to get max points :) I'll be taking a look around tomorrow when I post mine

I'm off to sleep, half past midnight, my brain's been going full tilt last 4hr or so with the scores. I promise I'll get reading done tomorrow!

[Shae]

Ok well when I’m finished I’ll take a look, but then chat here about it first to make sure I don’t miss any letters and use the best option!

Ok good night :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I will :) I'm going based off the review thread not the ss as that is making me a little confused.

[Jill]

@Ash yeah I don't think I'm gonna even attempt it lol

@Maddie aw I'm sorry :( I hope it gets easier. I would thing the scoring for this one is so time consuming..

@Shae how precious!!

[Courtney]

Only the stuff posed should be on the SS. Whats confusing you Maddie and Shae? Maybe we can help explain a little bit.

Playing with her heart can also be for the following:
Tagline one: None
Tagline two: "W", "B", "L"
Tagline three: "TH", "HER", "RE"

As of right now I know we need a B and L for tagline two according to the SS.

[Courtney]

Also Shae you added everything to the SS correctly :)

Maddie I will add Leah's books to the SS now if no one has yet.

[Ashleigh]

Didn't get very far with the new page on the ss, but I've been at a funeral this afternoon. When I get back home and in front of my laptop, I'll have another look at it.

[Courtney]

The SS should be up to date now :)

I am sorry for you loss, no need to apologize for that we all understand :)

I am confused what that page is suppose to be for. The only things that should be on the SS is the posted ones. Is it because of the colors? If so we can just set a "posted" color that way you dont have to go through all that extra work.

[Courtney]

Okay so it looks like the Nightmares book, and both Espresso Shot books are the only ones not finished yet.

[Courtney]

I am going to make everything that is finished on the SS green. I cant read right now because I am still trying to wake up, and hopefully it will save time for Ashleigh and make things easier :)

P.s. Sorry if I am stepping on anyones toes.

[Shae]

I think what was confusing is there were some books not posted but we said we were just putting what was posted. So I was confused as to whether to put books in the next spots for that or not if that makes sense. I figured it out. Also that there’s a posted tab? So I wasn’t sure where I was meant to put my books. Glad they are in the right spots though! I’m on my phone so it gets hard to fiddle with it.
So are we not just putting finished and posted books on there?

[Courtney]

I didnt even mess with the Posted tab because I am not sure what Ashleigh was doing there. However, I just finished Tab one and two, and everything highlighted in green is posted on the review thread. I thought we agreed on only posting finished books there, but I am fine if we put CR there too as long as they are finished within a day or two. I am not sure about anyone else though.

[Shae]

Do we post in tab 2 once tab 1 is finished?

[Courtney]

I have been putting the books that have been used for letters that dont have an opening on Tab one. Its the "RE" in There because we wanted to make sure we got maxed bonus points and there have been alot of books with "RE" in it. I hope this all makes sense. I am still in wake up mode haha

[Shae]

Ok so I just post in tab 1 and then tab 2?
I thought we agreed on that too as it meant we aren’t fiddling with moving books to the next Tagline etc if we have books for those spots (as they will fit no matter what). It will just make it confusing if there’s some green for second round and currently reading on the first round. As it will look like we haven’t completed the Tagline but we have.

[Courtney]

Also for The and No I have put either a period or a space so the software doesnt pick up the word because it changes the color to what Bookbuyer set that word for. Juat wanted to give a heads up :)

I dont see that really happening if we all make sure we do tab one first. There is only 2 books on Tab two, and I was the ont to put them there so when we got there we knew it was covered. Overall we have been doing a good time keeping it on Tab one :)

[Shae]

So if something has already had books in that spot and we are going for max points, we just put it into tab 2? Is tab 2 kind of like the next round of taglines?

[Courtney]

Yes :)

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

Leah finished Espresso Shot last night and she will post it today. I will be reading it today. Leah will be reading Nightmares today.

[Courtney]

Okay :) You guys can also use the S in either tagline 2 or 3 for that book.

[Ashleigh]

I think I was trying to make life hard for myself haha. I think it makes sense if the books that are completed on the original pages are a certain colour, so you can clearly see what's been posted and what's not finished yet. Thank you Courtney :)
