Karen Barber | 13280 comments Checking in. Hannah, good to see your name here!


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments It's good to have you on the team too.

Karen Barber | 13280 comments I’m still trying to finish some books for this month, and have so many books I fancy reading I’ll need to take stock. Most letters will be pretty easy, so I don’t think we need huge planning. Anyone got any preference for how we do this?


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments We should read whatever we want until we get close to finishing up spelling it out. Then focus on finishing it up. Then start the process all over again.

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Hey, checking in! I'm pretty sure I know all of you, but if not, nice to meet you. Can't wait to get started with a new year!


message 8: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Hoping we get our other team members drop in soon. Looking forward to getting stuck into what look like some good books.


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments If they don't sign in by tomorrow we can let Sarah know.

Hello Team Pikachu, just to let you know that I have messaged TiffanyRose, and Lillith to see if they are still taking part. I've asked them to respond within 48 hours, so hopefully we'll know soon xx

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Thank you Sarah!

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Great start, even without our other two members! Think we've spelled out 'Happy New Year' once with the reviews posted.

Currently on BRs for Skyward (Skyward, #1) by Brandon Sanderson Regretting You by Colleen Hoover and Amelia Westlake Was Never Here by Erin Gough , but also trying to chip away at ARCs for NetGalley - my New Year's Resolution is to get on top of this pile of books I've collected.

Anyone up for Chosen (Slayer, #2) by Kiersten White at the end of the week?

message 16: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments We got off to such a great start! We have 'Happy New Year' spelled out once. I'm finishing up The Paradise Snare (Star Wars The Han Solo Trilogy, #1) by A.C. Crispin and I've finished Overcome (Breeds #5.5, 10.5, 11.5) by Lora Leigh .

Ayanna (ayannathebibliophile) | 17 comments I just finished Lord of the Flies I just need to write the review.


message 18: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments I'm currently reading Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule, and I think I'll be done with it in an hour or two.


message 19: by Ayanna (new)

Ayanna (ayannathebibliophile) | 17 comments Posted the review for Lord of the Flies by William Golding I'll be starting The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern tonight.

Hello Team Pikachu, I haven't heard back from TiffanyRose so I'm going to assume that she's no longer taking part. You guys are doing great so far though (!) so I'm not going to replace her just yet.
Thanks xx


message 21: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Thanks for letting us know, Sarah. Do you have anyone waiting to join a Serious team?


message 22: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I have one person on the waiting list, yes ☺ The waiting lists are on the team listings thread under the serious teams and medium teams ☺
I'm going to give things a couple more days to settle with it being the start of the year, then see how it goes. We do always have the option of adding someone though ☺


message 23: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Thanks Sarah

Karen Barber | 13280 comments It's gone super quiet on here this last few days...
I have finally got A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer from the library so will try and get that cleared as soon as I can. Also got a few BRs coming up - The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams Chosen (Slayer, #2) by Kiersten White and The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow (The Sinclair’s Mysteries #1) by Katherine Woodfine .
Typically on a week there's a stack of BRs, I have got internal exams to mark...hopefully there'll be plenty of traffic to make my commute that little bit longer.

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Hey, sorry I've not been active. We're having some flooding issues at my house. I've been reading but I haven't had time to update. And I'm having some internet issues but I'll update Monday.


message 28: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Just posted in response to the latest update. It doesn’t look as though our letters claimed has been updated fully. Can one of you look over it-I’m tired, so may have missed something. I think we should have 5 claimed for ‘NEW’ and part of ‘YEAR’


message 29: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Wolf, sorry to hear the news about your grandfather. Hope things settle down for you soon x


message 30: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Thank you Karen. I appreciate it.


message 31: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments Hey, so we're finishing up with cleaning my grandpa's apartment out and I've had a little more time to read. I have about 18 books to post and update and then I'll be caught up.

Just wanted to give y'all an update.


message 32: by Karen (last edited Jan 23, 2020 11:23PM) (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Thanks for the update Wolf, but do you think you could look at the letters we have to claim and try to spread them out a little.

I know Sarah/Maddie haven't got round to updating the scores since you updated all your reviews, but you've claimed a lot of 'A' and 'y' which makes little sense when other letters could be claimed.

I asked the mods to adjust the following:
message 116 for 'e' in 'year'
message 117 for 'r' in 'year'
message 119 for 'p' in happy'

If those changes are made we should have completed the spelling out 8 times. 'P' and 'W' are priority letters if you get anything for them, get them in - unless it's to finish it and then it makes sense to claim the points.


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments I was going to add 4 reviews but I will wait until later. Hopefully after everything is updated I can get a better idea of what letters we need.


message 34: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments I have a few for P and W. I'll add them later.


message 35: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Sarah has now updated, so its easy to see where we need to get letters.


message 36: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 3155 comments We've completed the spell out 10 times. I've started working on letters for the 11th time. I have 13 more to update but those will be spread out. I'm working so I'll update when I can. Keep up the great work team!!


message 37: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Away with family over the weekend and travelling tonight. Don't think I'll get the chance to finish The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave unfortunately. Still, great month - and good luck for February!
