Don't Panic! - Chat! ✔️
Soo...I apologize in advance, my books aren’t going to be a ton of help this round. I read mostly fantasy and these regular life items are not popping up in any of my CR lol. I’ll see if any of my thrillers work for next books.
Maybe I’ll be able to help with riddles tasks :-)
If a prince is going on a trip with some of the guard to hunt down some bad guys that tried to kill someone...does that count as a work trip??
Mod
Yes that would count!

So counting half fo..."Oh yeah that’s a good point. Well if it ends up being fun going well it can always be done another time or similar type for a future two month :-)

Yay! I just have to get creative and think outside the box 😉
Does anyone know how to do the thing on the spreadsheet where our names change to a set color when selected from the drop down? I clicked on all the options and can’t seem to figure it out.I’ve tried other times with no luck and now I’m just curious so figured I’d ask lol

I am TERRIBLE with riddles, but Vickie's answers look good to me!

I have a book finished. Do I need to wait until our riddles are approved for correctness to post in the review?
Hey Mods! Where do we post our answers to the riddle? Here or in our check-in thread. the consensus is Victoria Vickie's guesses are right.
Mod
Mod
1. Lead but not Metallic - Pencil
2. Sheet but not on a bed - Sheet of Paper
3. Tell people something but no mouth - Clock for time
We can guess today correct???"
These guesses are correct and the tasks have been unlocked. Please remember, each riddle will have 4 tasks. The 3 people who read for that riddle can pick any of the 4 tasks.
Mod
Stupid question...we just put our book finishes in the spreadsheet.
Mod
Yeah, don't know if you guys created your own column to mark CR or Finished.. but I totally can if you want.
Mod
Hey everyone! Sorry for being late! Checking in
Mod
Gotcha checked in! Congrats the whole team is here now!
I'm going to try and write reviews today! So hopefully I'll have some stuff posted today/tomorrow :)
Awesome. If you need to take one of my spots, just let me know.
Hey guys. I noticed a couple of things this morning when I was looking at the spreadsheet.For the riddle answers, we have to each pick something different. I removed my book that starts with P since Attack Salmon already finished that book.
For all of the spots, three different people need to read for those spots. So, if you already read a book for one of the spots in the category, you can't read another book.
- two people on the cover (2 books from Vicki)
- we have two books for paper in text (Keri and Vicki)
Mod
Awesome! Thanks Alaina. Three different people, but can be same task.
Alaina, am I right that each person can only do one task for each item on the SS? So, for example, I couldn't read two books where the MC is the CEO and count them for that item. Three different people need to read for each task, right? I think there may be some confusion on this point.
Keep it up guys. I think we got a shot at completing this room:)
Mod
Correct. Three different people need to read a book for the same category.

I just wanted to take a minute and congratulate you all on doing such a good job on this challenge! You guys are all kicking ass in it and it's making me really happy!! Depending on how you all like this, I can definitely make a different version next year for a two month challenge.
Keep kicking ass guys and enjoy your books!!
Awesome! I would definitely play this game again!
Mod
Yay! I'm glad to hear that!!

Yessssssssssssss one month is too short!!!
We’ve been basically drowned with mandatory OT at work so that’s really put a halt on my reading and especially writing of reviews. I have all my books on the sheet done but two of them I still need to write the reviews and then I’ll get them posted. I have a few other books finished that don’t fit our sheet so I’ll get working on their reviews after in case we get to a new room and they fit there.I so wish this challenge was quarterly! There’s so many cool rooms to get to!
Just checking...since the breifcase has handbags...Do you think my spy book would work since she is a spy..
I can start reading it today
I don't see a briefcase on the cover. Did you check out the lists in post 90?
Mod
I can start reading it today"
If any of the cover editions has a bag on it, then sure. It could also work for billionaire.. since it mentions a queen.

awesome..will start it today.
I've taken more spots in the open areas, but if it's not marked CR and somebody else reads something for that spot before I can get to it, please take it! Just post in this thread that you're taking the spot so I can remove it from my reading list.
I’m working on my reviews now so my three spots will be posted soon

Mod
Yes, I would allow that :)

In my quarterly group we’ve been through the alphabet like ten times and still have another month but I feel like this is a ton to get through in just one month! I’m excited to get started but sad it’ll only be a month!
