Okay I have Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants and Parental Guidance done if they can fit anywhere. I've noticed a question mark near Sorcery of Thorns for red hair and I know Parental Guidance will fit for that if needed.
Okay now I put Xs on the banked tab by ones we’ve planned to use so far so we can see what options are left.Crystal two of yours are in the CR section. Are they now finished and reviewed or will be today?
And I'm not sure what you girls are looking at. Where is the board? I can check my books that are banked too, if I know exactly what we are still looking for.
Vicki, sea of shadows isn’t on the spreadsheet banked tab so I’m worried it got used already. I’m going to go back and check. If it hasn’t we can ask if they will take ‘dark fantasy’ or if it has to be only ‘dark’.
😭 Vicki we used your Sea of Shadows on board four for ‘title with alliteration’ so that’s a no go...
Our board is 2.1, just added recently.And the banked tab is where the other things are. We have been filling one each of the two categories but not posting anything until we have it all covered so we can still move around.
I put an ‘X’ in the column next to finished on the banked tab ones that we have already placed on the spreadsheet tentatively.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like we only need:
—tagged ‘dark’ on first page OR mpg dark
—chocolate in text OR chocolate on cover
—set in Canada OR MC initials are MP or PM
And then we’ll just put our biggest point getting. Ok left in the freebie spot when we fill everything else in.
Our biggest problem seems to be ‘dark’ and I’m just now seeing it has to be first page of tags! I had been looking at multiple pages :/
Aaahhh!! Slashes in the snow is tagged dark on first page!! Moving it again and finding another four word title! My bf thinks I’m nuts how excited I just got finding that one! Lol
Was the first drops of crimson our chocolate in text?Vicki’s Living Dead in Dallas can be the four word title
We still have a few hours to read, right? I can probably read DARK for us, if we have a few hours.

I can’t find chocolate in First drops of crimson...just did a google search
ik its in
but im not sure where bc It was the audio book :(
Keri wrote: "I can’t find chocolate in First drops of crimson...just did a google search"It's definitely there I searched it in my ebook!- I'll put the quote here - 'a hamburger, extra fries, chicken soup, crackers, and chocolate cake', Denise called out at once, heading into the master bedroom. 40% in
Okay good. Maybe the google search only searches a portion of the book.

I’m still reading them as of now (butterface and pennys) but I will definitely be done today!!!
Lol this is like a scavenger hunt, I like the challenge of fitting things in 🤓😝

Perfect Crystal! I just didn’t want us putting pressure on you if they’re in there and it was going to put added stress on you to finish and review!I know, this scavenging our books to fit all the tasks is kind of fun! Everyone did awesome that we have enough banked books to pretty much get us half a board at the end with just a few new reads to fill harder ones!
Guys I think all spots are covered now with only a few still being finished up reading!!! This is so cool!
Woohooo, geez and to think we thought the last board would be our LAST one lol
Currently our longest books in there are all going to be 4 points, in the high 300s for page count and no BR. So unless someone finishes a longer one today would be any of Ten Thousand Doors of January, The September Sisters, or Regretting You. I didn’t add one in case we get a higher points one finished that’s not on there.
Mine is less points that I’m working on.
Erin you said you had two that aren’t in the spreadsheet banked yet right? Are any of them either buddy reads or 450+ pages to use for the freebie and be higher than what we already have left on there?
Should we wait to start posting until we know those reading are able to complete and review?
I have the queen of nothing that should be 9points with botm but idk where to put it lol
I've got thunderhead 500+ page buddy read if you want that as a freebie read - will be finished and reviewed in the next couple hours, also works for NUT in title
Yeah I remember seeing your count of monte Christo in a past board when I searched Vicki. That’s a great point getter!
Ok so thunderhead or queen of nothing should be our options for freebie. And if one of them fits for somewhere else maybe if it’s a low point getter we can swap one out.
OjoAusana, I don’t know how many pages any of yours are since they’re not in the spreadsheet. Maybe QON could replace one of the others you have in there for more points?It has ‘flat’ and ‘white’ in the text if you want to swap out that one? Or just add it to the other spot and pick one to post when it comes. The other in there is one of yours too.
And then we could use thunderhead for the freebie.
What time zone does this challenge run in? I’m in EST but just want to be sure for posting when we get to that part...
here are my last 2 if you guys need them

Keri wrote: "What time zone does this challenge run in? I’m in EST but just want to be sure for posting when we get to that part..."I’m est as well but I tried double checking the rules and I think the challenge goes by Goodreads time which is pst so we’re fine 😬 still working on my two!!
OjoAusana wrote: "im like 30pgs away from finishing anne of green gables and then im going to get on my laptop and fil everything out"Sounds perfect!! I’m working on finishing my last book but it doesn’t look like we’ll use it in this one.
I love Anne of green gables. I’ve not read the book yet but love the movie. Thanks Sierra! Once we get all our details in maybe we can see if either of those get us more points. I know ACOMAF has a lot of pages.
lol okay ngl i just opened my first beer so when i finish anne is it good it we start turning stuff in? im adding my pg info too
I’m thinking at this rate we should all post based on what we plugged in to get the first round done. Thoughts?

OjoAusana wrote: "lol okay ngl i just opened my first beer so when i finish anne is it good it we start turning stuff in? im adding my pg info too"Just wanted to check - do you want to go for freebie or shall I? I've got my review ready if needed :)
Yeah I think we should go ahead and post and I think thunderhead is a good one for the freebie for points. Go for it!

Yay I love it - so proud we got to do another board! I think I've posted all of mine to the review thread - Happy new year (its gone midnight here!) to everyone and hopefully will be on teams with you guys soon :)
Excellent work everyone. I have one more book I’m working on but I’ll have it posted once I’m finished. The others are going up now!!!! Happy new year all 🍾🎈🎉
Mine are posted too and updated in the spreadsheet with page counts And checked that they’re posted!! Happy new year! It’s only 727pm where I am!
Also, you guys have all been an awesome team!
I’ll keep checking things when I can so we make sure everything for the one round gets posted!
What happens if we have things for round two? If we finish round one do those count as points? Or just page points? I’ll post my last one when I finish either way!
alright guys, I turned in alllllll the rest of my books I only had one I couldn't find a spot for on the board 
but I posted it just giving yall a heads up in case someone else finds spot for it :)
you guys have been an awesome team and this has been super fun, happy new years to everyone! ill be checking my phone if I remember to but you guys have been an amazing team I look forward to another year of challenges with you guys (and others of course!)

We’re so close!!
So OjoAusana, if you take Canada, that’s done.
And we have a chocolate in text right?
So we only need either MPG Dark or tagged dark. How is Nothing tagged dark???
Maybe I can message asking if ‘dark fantasy’ counts?
