Guys, I'm finally back from my trip! So I'll begin posting reviews too now. :D I'm adding my books in the spreadsheet now. :)

Ooh and Felicia, I just saw your message. So I guess this will help. :D

[Vicki]

Welcome back, Ritika! Hope you had fun! I sure did. We got back last Thursday.

[Vicki]

I’m on my phone and I was able to look at the spreadsheet but I can’t add anything to it. I’m sorry I just realize that I haven’t posted the book that I finished. I finished All the Girls are Missing and RememberMe needs to be removed because it has a man on the cover. Lol. I’m almost positive that I did the review for my book so if someone wouldn’t mind would you please add them to the review thread for me? Also Jenny is sick so if anyone wants to take any of her letters and add them to the current tab that we are on “books with no living thing on the cover” I’m sure she won’t mind.

I was opening to check if I can take any but as it turns out, we only need N, V, G and I. The books I'm reading or have finished have neither of these letters. *face palm*

Here are the books:
1. For One More Day by Mitch Albom
2. Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho
3. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (I still have to finish this one)

[Ritika]

By the way, Vicky, I don't think we have to read books that don't have any living being on its cover. That's just a clue to identify the book to which we need to fill in the letters. What I mean is that it was just a necessity to select the book the book we're now completing i.e, Enclave. Makes sense?
So you can add yours if it fits.

[Vicki]

Omg are you serious? I thought it literally meant that we needed covers for this tab that don’t have a living thing on them. I guess I need clarification from Felicia then.

Felicia?

[Ritika]

I think so. And I think she messaged that earlier but let me check to be sure.
And I'm sorry. I totally misspelled your name earlier. Added the 'y' instead. Sorry. ^_^

@Vicki, here you go! I'll copy paste the exact message just for clarity:
Felicia:

They don't have to actually have "no living thing on the cover". That's just a clue to help you figure out the answers to the clues you'll receive (clues 1-4, you're already working on clue 1). That just means that the answer for every clue your given under that category will not actually have a a living thing on it.

Take Enclave for example. It doesn't have a living thing on the cover. The answer for clues 2-4 will not either.

You can read any book you want you just have to match the letters using the letters of the titles/authors name.

Does that make sense?

[Vicki]

Yes, thank you!!! And no worries on the name. :)

[Felicia]

Vicki, what is on the cover of the book you read doesn't matter. You just need to match letters.

[Ritika]

Ah, so feel free to post the review. Let's get this book over with quickly. :D

[Vicki]

I’m not home to post reviews. I could put It’s a Wonderful Death for letter I and remove Jenny’s if someone can add my review for it and All the Missing Girls plus if someone can read an N book. If we can do those things then we can go onto the next tab. I know I won’t be able to today because I have to finish two other books and I will be gone for about half the day

[Mayra]

Ok I’ll tackle the N book today, should be done by tomorrow morning ☺️

[Susan]

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry that I went MIA. My family lost our home and have been living in a hotel until we found find a house or apartment. About 10 days ago we had a room but it left us with no money for food. We were and still are as broke as anyone can get. I had to pawn my computer so we could eat. I had to do it even though it broke my heart. I thought well I still have my phone but all my bookmarked challenges are in my laptop. I would never let down my team on purpose. If it wasn't for Vicki I wouldn't have remembered this challenge. I'm reading and have finished several books. Can anyone let me know if these books help at all.

The Wife by Alafair Burke
Stolen: A Letter to My Captor by Lucy Christopher
Fame, Fate, and the First Kiss by Kasie West

[Susan]

The last book I'm currently reading is Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch.

I'm almost done with it and will finish it tonight. If anyone can pt my books onto the SS for me I would so appreciate it. I can see it but can't add to it from my phone. Very frustrating! If the any of my finished books can be used I'll do a review on them. I'm really sorry I disappeared I didn't mean it.

[Vicki]

Hey Susan, no worries! I'm sure we've all done that before and someone has reminded us. I'll move your books in the morning to the SS or banked tab for you.

Again, I'm so sorry for the difficult time you've been having lately with you financial situation.

[Mayra]

So according to the SS we have all but 1 book finished, but they still haven't been posted on the REVIEW group.

We are so close to finish the first one!

[Felicia]

Hey y'all! I'm adding my twinny poo to the team! Give her a big welcome! :D

[Vicki]

Welcome Twinny Poo!

I’ll look at the SS shortly! I didn’t see a place for Susan’s books except to bank them. I need to review Isla & then I’ll replace Jenny’s I book with it so I’ll have that in about 45 minutes to an hour.

[Alaina]

[Felicia]

[Alaina]

SO, since I'm so late the game and I haven't looked at the rules. Are we just waiting for all the finished books to be posted on the review thread?

[Vicki]

Alaina, yes, and I was/am guilty of forgetting that I had to post reviews so that's what I just did. It's been a crazy month so far. LOL

[Vicki]

Hey team, I was waiting to see if Jenny would be back because I know she's sick, but it's been a couple/few days so I went ahead and added my book for the letter I and moved Jenny's to the banked tab.

We should be able to move on shortly. :)

[Susan]

Do you need me to do a review on my books? I also finished Love & Luck this morning. Not sure if it's useful or not. Thank you Vicki and sorry if I'm adding more work on you.

[Ritika]

I finally finished ! I don't think it will fill any of the letters but as soon as the next book arrives, I'm certain we can gain a lot many points from it. :D

[Ritika]

Susan wrote: "Do you need me to do a review on my books? I also finished Love & Luck this morning. Not sure if it's useful or not. Thank you Vicki and sorry if I'm adding more work on you."

I think you should add your review and put the information in the banked tab. If, say, you're offline and we see it fitting any of the letters, we'll add it. :)

I mean, putting it in the banked tabs shows that yes, it is there. It has been read. It can be added when you need to.:D

[Vicki]

Susan, I was able to find your reviews and I added them to the banked tab when I put your books on there. I will do the last book as soon as you have a review & I will add it for you. And you’re not extra work - you’re my friend!

[Felicia]

Congrats on finishing your first clue, Enclave by Ann Agiurre! This was actually your double jeopardy box! So congrats again on 200 bonus points! :D

You all can pick your next clue.

[Ritika]

Wow guys! Congrats! Which one would you like to go with this time? I'm open to all of them. Hehe.

[Mayra]

Maybe just go with the next one over? Brandon Sanderson?

[Alaina]

Did anyone pick one? Sorry was in and out of meetings all morning and I have another one in an hour xD

[Vicki]

I’m okay with Brandon too.

[Ritika]

Brandon Sanderson one sounds good.
But I guess one of us will have to send it on the review thread since Jenny is sick.

[Vicki]

Felicia, I think we would like to go with Brandon Sanderson. Do we need to do anything else? (See post 134.)

[Felicia]

Vicki wrote: "Felicia, I think we would like to go with Brandon Sanderson. Do we need to do anything else? (See post 134.)"

Yes, you're supposed to post it in your review thread. And you need to choose which clue you'd like to go with. 1-4

[Felicia]

Current Clue:
The magic in this book is entirely unique
Answer:
_ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _

[Mayra]

Ok so the only Brandon Sanderson book I can think that fits on the Letters is The Final Empire

[Alaina]

Mayra wrote: "Ok so the only Brandon Sanderson book I can think that fits on the Letters is The Final Empire"

Sounds good to me - will you add the guess to the review thread?

[Mayra]

who else thinks that's the answer?

[Vicki]

I'm terrible solving riddles and such things, but I definitely have never heard of Allomancy before so it's as good a guess as any.

[Vicki]

FYI I have talked (texted) with Jenny briefly and she's still pretty sick. She's seeing a doctor tomorrow so please send good vibes, prayers, whatever floats your boat on her behalf. :)

I hope she gets better soon!

[Vicki]

I have an appointment in 5 minutes so added a few books but have no time to add the to review thread. Will do when I get back home in 45-60 minutes.

[Alaina]

I can post stuff for people if you all want - zero meetings today!

[Alaina]

Vicki wrote: "I have an appointment in 5 minutes so added a few books but have no time to add the to review thread. Will do when I get back home in 45-60 minutes."

I added two of yours that weren't on the review thread. Didn't add King's Cage because you don't have a review written yet.

[Vicki]

Thank you so much for doing that Alaina!!

[Alaina]

Okay went through our banked tab and added books to letters. Looks like all we need are 2 N's and Vicki's review for A (King's Cage) and we are done with this one.

[Alaina]

okay super awkward and work wasted - since we just had to do the title and not the author because the clue didn't have that.

we are done with our clue now - should we stick with the same category or go somewhere else?

[Felicia]

Conrgats on finishing your clue! You received 75 bonus points! Let me know on the review thread where you'd like to go next and I will let you know what your clue is.
