CONGRATS TEAM!

You are all checked in now!

[Jammin Jenny]

Hey do we need to read for both tasks in each square to get that square marked as done?

[❀ Crystal ✿ -]

Hey Jenny, no we just have to read one per each category. We’ll have to fill the remaining spots when/if we’re dealt that card again.

[Morgan]

Are we allowed to start picking books from the spreadsheet now to plan for reading or do we have to wait? I won't finish anything prior to tomorrow, I know that much! LOL!

No, you don't need to read for each task for one category. Each board has two rounds. For the first round, you will read one task for each category. Then for the second round, you will read the other task that you didn't before.

Sort of. So you won't get a new board until both rounds have been completed.

[Jammin Jenny]

Great! Thanks everyone.

you are more than welcome to add books to your teams spreadsheet - you just cant start them until November 1st.

I think you can pick books you know you will read or are CR if that helps you plan.

I'm going to follow Felicia's advice from another game and only enter the books when I'm done. If all the spots are taken that it fits for, I'll put it in banked books and hope it works for another task on another card.

[Sierra]

I looked at all the tasks and picked books i know i had and could read

Personally I’m going to wait until I finish to squeeze my book in and find a place for it, as much as I like to pre pick my categories it slows down the group for other ppl who are done before me. It’s really up to you. Maybe we can go by a timeline, like if you’ll finish a book in a day or two we can add it otherwise wait🤷🏼‍♀️
I will say since some of the categories are very uncommon and harder to fill, if you read something that would fit even if we’re not on that board yet, then definitely mark it or bank it whatever lol We also have two months so that also helps 😁

[OjoAusana]

im going to add books once I start them but once I add it on the ss it will either be done that day or the next but most of my books are good for at least 2 categories so I can usually if needed change too

[Lee]

@sierra I'm planning on reading the seven husband's of Evelyn hugo too. would you like to br it?

[Vicki]

Alaina, I love the colors on the SS. :)

Just want to say thank you for so many fun challenges and all the work you MODs put in so we can have fun and read more books of different kinds than we might’ve otherwise! I super appreciate you guys!

[Vicki]

That’s really helpful, Anna. Thanks 😊 for those links.

[OjoAusana]

im going to finish two books today and I can use the one for coffee in text and another that im guessing will have white in the text but ik has water on the cover

and I have abook that have leaves on the cover and one with coffee on cover (in a teacup actually I too I think lol) but those I have to wait like 2 weeks so if someone finishes books for those spots first its good

yay thanks!

[Vicki]

Alaina, that sounded like a threat but I’m still excited to seethe challenges for 2020!

[Morgan]

I added a book I'm currently reading to the spreadsheet. I didn't put it on Banked books, cuz that looked really overwhelming LOL! If I need to move mine around later, I can!

[Lee]

I have finished Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and I'm hoping to finish In An Absent Dream today too, but I haven't had a chance to look to see where those will fit.

[OjoAusana]

should we wait to turn in the second book for categories or should we just wait until each one has the first book turned in before starting to turn in the second?

[Keri]

I was curious about that too. Do we do one from each clue for all of them first? Or do we need both for all before a new cars so we should do whatever tasks we can?

[Jammin Jenny]

I think what we do is read the first category for everything on our current board, then we get a new board, and read a first category for everything on that board. Etc. until we get through all the boards, then we get assigned one of the boards we've already "finished" and read the second category then.

So, for now, if you read a book that fits a second category, I think you should list it on the banked books tab and maybe it will work for something on our next board, or we can use it when we get back to the COFFEE board.

[Alaina]

No, you get two rounds to each board. You are working on completing the first round by completing one task for each category. Then when that round is completed, you will start the second round and read for all the open tasks for the same categories from the first round.

You will get a new board once both rounds have been completed.

[Jammin Jenny]

So can we bank our books now for the second round or do we have to wait until all our first rounds books are done before starting to read for the second round?

[Keri]

Oh I was thinking it was like you said Jenny.
It seems like we’d be able to read for all the categories on the board then if we have to keep the same board til we’re completely done.
I’d say bank any thing for a second category and mark what it’s for so we don’t end up with dups.

[Keri]

Well actually we could even put them in the spreadsheet just don’t post the review yet. That way we can easily see what we still need to read for?

[Keri]

Especially since once one clue is done we’re much more limited and have to read for what’s left. So if one seems hard we would want to save the boom for that if we read it now.

[Alaina]

You have to wait till our books have been posted for the 1st round before you post any for the second round. You are more than welcome to claim categories for books that are done on the SS for the second round. That way you or a teammate can post them once the last book has been posted

[Jammin Jenny]

Great. Thanks everyone. I think I understand it now. :)

[Keri]

Thanks sounds good!
