Awesome! Thanks so much Anna! Yep I'm currently reading:
Will aim to finish these as soon as possible. Tomorrow I am starting to read The Au Pair by Emma Rous which will work as an option for many of our letters:
This month I also have plans to read:
Would City of Fallen Angels and Radical Candor be actual literal already reading? Cause I don't think they count for a letter then unless it's the 1st where you are now. ^_^

I thought by the fact it would get page points for whats read in Feb it would also count as a letter and that I just couldn't get BR or Book of the Month points for it. Looks like I'll have to take them down then :'( sad times!

I did check the rules and while it does not technically cover already started books if you read between the lines ( at least I didn't find them! Might be there) then it states you can't use already started books. LikeBooks must be read and reviewed from first day of the month that the challenge starts to last day of the month that the challenge ends
**Books that are DNFed can count toward pages, but not category points. A review and/or status updates is still required

I'm not sure. I think as long as it's in a dictionary it would count but you'd have to ask the mods to be sure.
I put my book in the sheet as CR for tomorrow, hop3 thats okay.
I’ll finish The Last of August today and it’ll count as page counts!!
Mod
Gotcha checked in!!
Okay, I think I'll just let Alaina know we will be the Sleuths. ^_^Alaina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please name us Sleuths. ^_^

TY!
So I have given myself a few options to start with since sometimes if I over plan I lose interest. 
I am trying to read 200 pages a day and also listen to at least 30 min each of my English and French Audio.
None of my current audio will count and also Cast in Secret won't count right now. I'm debating restarting since I'm only on chapter 2.
Mod
Gotcha checked in!! Congrats everyone - you are all checked in now!

Woohoo!
@Anna can we BR descendants of crane?? I’m planning to read it too this month!
ikram wrote: "@Anna can we BR descendants of crane?? I’m planning to read it too this month!"We can try! I'm notoriously bad a keeping BRs but I will definitely try. ^_^
I saw on the “copy” sheet we have a couple of words highlighted that haven’t transferred to the “words 1-12” sheet. Do you want me to move them across?Also, we have 2x “DAY” - are we intending to use both of these and have duplicate words or should one be removed?
Mod
Also, we have 2x “DAY” - are we intending to..."
..could the "day's" be with other words that could make something longer?? I could've added some holidays into this word search..
One of the days is at the end of “International Language Day” and the other one at the end of “Family Day” - currently “Inter” “National” “Language” and “Day” are listed as separate words. Are we generally saying unless it counts as one word (in this case I guess phrase?) then no duplicates? In which case I will either mark one of the “Day” words as part of the above or remove it. Hope that sort of makes sense? My explanation got lengthy to try and explain what I mean lol!Also, would folks mind if I add “Crush” to our words so I can read my Doctor Who: Hunters Moon for “H”?
Mod
It just means extra points for you all :)
Oh and lots of reading lol

@Anna yeayy! what time that works for you??
How about the 5th? I want to finish my CR first. :)
Anna 'Bookbuyer' wrote: "How about the 5th? I want to finish my CR first. :)"Sure, I can work with that!
I'm still looking for someone who's up to read one of these books with me. Here's what I'm planning to read on February:Stand-alone
Series
Anyone want to read
this month? I just started it. It's what the Oscar-nominated Jojo Rabbit is based on.
Ikram ill read if im being honest amd the seconds series with you
I am 36% into my first book. :)Got a bit behind schedule. I'm hoping to finish it tonight.
Also still making good progress on my HP audios. ^_^
Ruby and I had like the best day. She got up earylish but then let me sleep for about another hour. Then we cuddled/napped downstairs for another 2-3 hours.Then we went to a town about 30 min away to a local pet store and got her two new toys, some shampoo, a bone and some more food.
Oh and before we went to the town she got to go to a dog park we discovered recently and she actually got to see another dog! He didn't stay long but I know she has missed playing/seeing puppies.
Then she had a really long walk and carried her new rope toy. ^_^
I think we should use OjoAusana's books for E in Inter. (Sarah E. Ladd)G in Language (The Girl in the Box)
the E in Tuesday. (Sarah E. Ladd)
I in Cupid (Muder in Midtown)
What do you guys think?
Also guys we are starting to get to the 'harder' letters so check the alt editions for Y's, U's and other letters we need. ^_^
you can but my books wherever i totally didn't understand it right so i just took all my books off the board, will have to relook at it when i have time on my laptop
I didn't either! I thought you literally could only use the 'first' letter of the title etc. So I was limiting myself. :)
Anna 'Bookbuyer' wrote: "I didn't either! I thought you literally could only use the 'first' letter of the title etc. So I was limiting myself. :)"You can only use the first letter lol. You're confusing me Book :P so I went back and checked and here's what it says for letters!!!
*Teams will spell out the answers to these clues using the first letter of the book title, book series or the first initial of the author’s first or last name. You cannot use both the title and the author of the same book for two different letters. They will ONLY work for one letter. So choose wisely.

That's what I thought too but then her comment on the review thread made me wonder. I'll grab it.

***Not quite sure how this title works for Y. The letters that I can see are: T, O, L, M, S, E, C. This will be put on hold until you find a valid letter***
Just to further clarify with the above book. I originally thought it would only be able to use T, C, S, E or L. No idea I could use all the 'first' letters of the title words.
Lmao and the plot thickens.... I'm assuming it would also work for first letter of series title maybe?!?!
❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "Lmao and the plot thickens.... I'm assuming it would also work for first letter of series title maybe?!?!"I have no clue. I'm not even 100% sure it will work I'm just going off her comment.
Also we can obviously use alt editions too so we have just reached a whole new level. lol.
Lol me either, guess we just keep going as we are and hopefully we don't get called out :)
