I should be able to get the Y in with the book I'm reading right now!

[Karen]

Tiera, hoping you're still online. Nicole has posted for a on this board. Message 88 - All Grown Up - can we claim for I or L on this?

That will leave us two letters for this board - F and then either I or L.

[Nicole]

I posted I as well just now

[Nicole]

and F So if hers is changed to L then the board is done :)

[Karen]

Just seen your messages/review board. With reviews posted we are just about to start board 5 - The Iron Butterfly by Chanda Hahn.

[Tiera]

It looks like we need L and B to complete Board 5 is that what everyone else is seeing? I'm writing reviews now but I think I'm going to have to wait till the next board in order to claim any letters. Anyone planning on getting that L and B? I'll dig through my currently see what I can come up with.

[Brinley]

I can get B if we still need it by this evening

[Karen]

I’ve just started a couple that could do either B or L, but they work for the next board if anyone gets to them first. Noted we have a Z and X in subsequent boards if we get to them.

[Tiera]

I found an L and if I have time to do the review I can use book 2 for the B so I should have us on board 6 soon.. but I'm running out of review time and have to go get my kiddos soon so if I don't get it done ya'll feel free lol.

[Brinley]

I could either claim the B in this board, or save the book and claim the W in one of the later boards

[Karen]

Brinley wrote: "I could either claim the B in this board, or save the book and claim the W in one of the later boards"

If you can get the B done, that's Board 5 completed. My kids are looking like they need to head out for some energy-burning so I'm not likely to finish another book today.

[Brinley]

Ok, I'll get the B done tonight then, good luck with the kids

[Karen]

Tiera has just posted reviews that cover the last two letters. New board - The Bridge From Me to You by Lisa Schroeder

[Saar The Book owl]

I've almost finished my first book!

[Karen]

So excited...just got approved on NetGalley for the upcoming Kerry Maniscalco...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Fortuitous, just to let you know that I have messaged Elizabeth Emily, Connie, Saar, and Isha to ask if they are still taking part as it is now the 13th and they haven't posted any reviews yet x
Taran has already asked to leave the team, and I think Ana wants to leave too so I think both of them will be leaving the team x

[Karen]

Thanks for letting us know, Sarah. Will you replace them?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It will all depend on the numbers, I have 2 (possibly 3) people on the waiting list, but it will all depend on which teams end up with the fewest members as to who will be replaced x

[Brittany]

Wow thats a pretty significant amount of people! Thanks for letting us know Sarah

[Nicole]

I think this board we are on we only have I S C left I just caught up with all my books - i hope I didn't double post I checked 2x and didn't see them double posted so if I did it was an accident and I am sorry

[Saar The Book owl]

I've just posted my book for the letter S. So, that's done too. I'm sorry, I'm sometimes not the fastest reader.
I'm starting I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer (that's a BR) and Old Bones that can be used for the next boards.

[Karen]

Just M to go on the current board. We're getting lucky with the spins!

[Saar The Book owl]

I've posted my second review, but it's an adult book with 198 pages. So, if anyone can combine it with another book under 200 pages, then we've got another letter.

[Karen]

Saar, have you checked for other editions?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The following people will be leaving/joining the following teams -


Team Fortuitous ✔
Elizabeth Emily *31st ✔ *13th Leaving
Ana ✔ Leaving
Taran ✔ Leaving
Team Chat: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Team Reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


I will message people etc. as soon as I can ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Team Fortuitous, I will just explain why I haven't added anyone else to your team. The first reason is that one of your team members has already read more than I expected her and the three people leaving to have read in total for the whole month. The second reason is that both Connie and Isha have said that they are still taking part, and should be posting reviews soon x

[Karen]

Thanks for letting us know, Sarah.

[Karen]

In for some pretty rubbish weather over the next few days. I’m hoping to try and get through the backlog of ARCs building up, but I want to try and get more BR points as we’re way off on those.

[Connie]

Hi! Sorry for my radio silence, we got some super devastating news this month and it kept me away from my laptop for the longest time. However, I've still been reading.

I posted four reviews but my fifth one doesn't fit however, but with the books I added the only letters needed to finish this board in N, D, and R.

My spare book is A House is a Body by Shruti Swamy :)

Hope you're all well

You can use your spare book for the D if you wanted too Connie

oh! Can it come from anywhere in the title? Thanks for letting me know I'll post that now :)

[Tiera]

Yes it sure can. It was a new rule for the challenge this year!

[Connie]

Tiera wrote: "Yes it sure can. It was a new rule for the challenge this year!"

I was still working off the old rules in my head lol, thanks for the heads up!

Just the letter N now :)

[Brinley]

I'm posting a review that can fulfill the letter N right now if we still need it

[Connie]

Brinley wrote: "I'm posting a review that can fulfill the letter N right now if we still need it"

Awesome! That should be that board finished then :D

[Saar The Book owl]

Karen wrote: "Saar, have you checked for other editions?"

Yes, but it's all under 200 pages, but I'll look for another one to put together, so that it counts.

[Connie]

It always helps me to see the letters written out:

We still need-

S L U E I R O X

for this board; I think X might be the most challenging one to get if anyone is reading a book that has an X in it :)

[Karen]

I’m reading Devolution by Max Brooks that I can get done today for X.

[Karen]

Just posted review for , so X is now done.

[Connie]

I’ve finished Fly on the Wall for E Lockhart

So I can put in the

E or the O we still need!

[Connie]

I put it in for the E, meaning we still need I R O U :)

I'm nearly done with Nerve by Jeanne Ryan so that can be R if needed but if someone gets there first work away!

[Nicole]

i have a couple reviews to post tomorrow

[Connie]

I O U is what we need now for this board :)

[Karen]

Just U and I for this board left now. Thinking of the next board (Defiance by C.J. Redwine) the J should be a priority - anyone got anything lined up?

*update* There is a BR scheduled for Doll House by John hunt which I'd planned to join so happy to do that. If the J gets taken before I finish, I'll use it for something else.

[Saar The Book owl]

I'll read this evening a book under 200 pages, so that my hanging review can count too.

[Karen]

Saar The Book owl wrote: "I'll read this evening a book under 200 pages, so that my hanging review can count too."

Brilliant - will either of the remaining letters for our current board work?

[Saar The Book owl]

The book that I've already read can count for O and I.

I got one for J :)

I think we need F I A N R now :)

[Brinley]

I can claim F or R with the book I'll be finishing tonight
