@GridgirlI think you post all your BRs on it
Also, does anyone know if there is a list for all books that were published in September of any year? :)

Just the ones that are scheduled or also the ones I'm still looking for BR partners? :)

Cool thank you <3
@GridGirlI'm pretty sure just the scheduled ones :)

There might be one on listopia, but I'm not sure. You can play around with this though - https://www.goodreads.com/book/popula... and just change the year on the little thing on the right hand side to see popular books published in specific months ☺

Ah, thanks Sarah :D
BRs so far
possibly
Never mind, I figured it out with a different language edition ;)
How would you guys prefer to handle it if we have more letters that fit the taglines than we get points for? For example, I will read Warcross by Marie Lu (using the German language edition: Das Spiel ist eröffnet - I actually need to check with Sarah if this edition is allowed because of the 'ö', but let's just use it for our example). The book was first published in September and is Sci-Fi, which already gives us 4 bonus points. This means I can only get 6 more points through letters. But this language editions allows a lot more than that. So, should we focus on getting the taglines done and using as many letters as possible even though we don't get more bonus points? Or should I leave the letters for other people who might get bonus points for them?
I think you should definitely use the letters because itll get us taglines done faster and you are allowed to repeat taglines :)
Evelyn wrote: "I think you should definitely use the letters because itll get us taglines done faster and you are allowed to repeat taglines :)"Well, that is true. I don't know how I didn't think about that 😂
@Gridgirl I also changed one of your letters to make more sense on the spreedsheet. You can take a look to see it that's fine :)
Not sure I would have noticed ;)Edit: I realized why it does what it does and it's actually a really smart system! Sorry, I'll try to be less annoying from now on :/
lol. Sorry. I should have explained. I'm really glad you think it's smart. ^_^
There are limitations to it though. Like I can't figure out how to make it work for more than one word and I can't have it change color for 'there' because 'the' is in it. :S

It's not difficult, I'd just have to look into the programming language they use for these Google sheets.
I'm still pretty new to SS's. I was already impressed I could do this. lol. If you can figure it out that would be great! ^_^
If it's possible, I'll figure it out ;)@Aneta: I'm not sure if you can use all of the letters from Warbreaker exactly the way you put them in the spreadsheet. If I'm correct about the rules, if you want to use letters that are not in the beginning of a word you need at least two next to each other that fit two letters that are next to each other in the tagline. So you would not be able to use the letter R, because it's in the middle of the word and you're not using the letters next to it.
(Correct me if I'm wrong here, I just hope to avoid confusion in the review thread later)
since i dont have a lot of time being on here, ill post what book im reading and we can figure out where it would fit best

Thank you for info! I will change it :) I got lost in these rules :D

I completely understand, they are really confusing this time :D
I may drop from this months challenge.. I've read the rules like 4 times and looked over the spread sheet and I'm still super overwhelmed and confused >.<

Maybe let us know what books you're planning on reading and we'll help you fit it into the spreadsheet :)

One more thing: I don't think you are allowed to use blocks of letters from the authors name.
The rules say: "The third way is a mixture of these methods, taking blocks of letters from titles, as long as there are at least two letters together, and they are in the correct order, such as Rust & Stardust by T. Greenwood, could be used for 'trust', by using 'rust' and then claiming the T from the author's initial to complete 'Trust'."
It specifically says "blocks of letters from titles".
Edit: Since Warbreaker does not really allow to take two letters that we don't already have on both boards, I'd recommend using different language editions like "El aliento de los dioses", "Il Conciliatore" or "Sturmklänge" (the ä can be used as an a, I just checked with Sarah the other day)
Edit #2: I just found that there is an edition called "Vyjednavač" which would be great to get the "V" in for the second tagline!

Okay, I will use Vyjednávač. It's actually edition I'm going to read so it's perfect :D I will change it soon.

which is a BR

I think we almost all feel that way Saar. I'm just choosing not to sweat it. If we do it wrong we do it wrong. If we do it right we do it right. ^_^

I’m a bit confused too so when I finish a book I think I’m just gonna let you know here and get help 😂
Maybe if all of us work on it together we will figure it out. Collective minds. lol.

I think I'm finally starting to figure things out in this challenge. But it's actually quite a lot of work to find the best language edition and use the letters that will get us to finish taglines.But hey, I like a challenge!
Yayy! Yep! That's what it's all about :)
Omg guys I had forgot I joined the challenge 😩😩 but checking in now also I have no ideas about what I should read
Jaguane wrote: "Omg guys I had forgot I joined the challenge 😩😩 but checking in now also I have no ideas about what I should read"You can check if you have any books on your shelves that are sci-fi, were first published in 1993 or were first published in September. These will get us bonus points, so that's a good way to start :)

So posted my first book. I was one I had started in September though so I only get like 4 points and no bonus points.I do have one other book I might be finishing from last month. I might also just restart it honestly. We will see.
So I have started American Royals. I’m only 10 pages in so I’ll see how I like it before I add it to the SS
I have just finished Not Your Villain by C. B. Lee. I just want to be sure what I can claim before I post my review.NO - Trust No One
OU - The Truth Is Out There
B or V or L - I Want To Believe
+ 2 bonus points for sci-fi
Can I use it like this?
@Aneta There is a spreed sheet so you can use that to see if there are better places to put your letters.
So I just looked at it and I think you should use NO, OU and +2 for sci-fi
@EvelynI know about spreadsheet but I wanted to know if I understand this correctly. I used spreadsheet for my BR and I did it wrong. I just want to be sure this time.

Can you use OU? I thought that it was only the first letter?
How is everyone doing? I'm sick at home for a couple of days, so I try to keep my reading - shedule.
