Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Things came up last night, so that one book I thought I would get done then will get done tonight. Hehe. That "things came up" thing keeps happening to me lately.


message 252: by Vinnie (new)

Vinnie I finished two books some days ago, gonna post them now.
I have been extremely tired lately and had some health issues, but now I have a few days off from work, so I hope I can read more again :).

Sarita | 1386 comments Hope you are feeling better!


message 254: by Vinnie (new)

Vinnie thanks, it's alright. I suddenly developed an intolerance to some foods and have struggled with a lot of belly aches. But I think I'm slowly figuring them out and will do a test soon and hopefully my belly will feel better soon. :/

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Aww! Sorry to hear you've been going through that, Davina. I'm glad you're figuring them out, though. That's great news! Keep feeling better, friend. Great job on the books!


message 256: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I have a book to post soon - any specific spot I need to target?


message 257: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Not really. We've already got a couple of books in on the current ships. I'm waiting to see which direction my ship is continuing. We still have two other ships to find, so what do you think about searching for those?


message 258: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments 👍🏻


message 259: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Another update! Yeah! I should be able to target I7 tonight. I’m reading a short book currently.


message 260: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Sarita, my search didn’t reveal a page count either. Shucks! Maybe next week, then.


message 261: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments All of a sudden, team two has sunk four ships! Goodness, but they're blazin' right now.


message 262: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I've got just over 2 hours left on an audio. I'll finish it tonight.


message 263: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Thanks for checking! The first book was short but based on my reading speed, I’m guessing this one should be 200 🤞🏻

I have about an hour left on my audio and trying to finish some books I have going. Trying to squeeze in more audio during the day,

Today I have to interview people again so will be a loss on reading time and I might pass out early.


message 264: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Rest up when you can! Sounds very busy there.


message 265: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Thanks, hopefully after this week it will slow down a bit.


message 266: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments We sank another ship! Now we just need to find our 4-spot and 2-spot.

Any thoughts on how to find them quickly? We don't want to fall too far behind team two. They're nearly done with board three already.


message 267: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I went for F4 because that is an area a 4 spot ship could be.

My idea was to target areas where the 4 ship could be and then hopefully get the 2 spot randomly

Areas the 4 spot ship could be

Column F - vertical (which I went for)
Row 1 - horisontal
Row 5 - horisontal
Row 10 - horisontal

So don't know - try to hit the above areas and see if we are lucky.

Two ship can be anywhere - so that will probably be luck.

Can't believe that team is rushing through! I worked hard yesterday to finish two books.

Hope to get my current audio done by tomorrow!

I don't think Megan has posted her March books yet, so hopefully we can find the 4 spot soon and she has books to use to sink that one.


message 268: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments That would be fantastic!

I like your thinking, Sarita. Those spots look great to me too.

I just got some more audios from the library to listen to this week and into next. I'm also working on an ebook and some hard copies. I can't work on them 24/7 as I have other responsibilities, but I'm reading them as fast as I can.


message 269: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Yeah! Page number for No Unturned Stone (The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone #2) by David James Warren on amazon - 203 pages.

Think I might wait for the updates to see if any of our guesses so far got a hit...


message 270: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Glad the page number worked! Good strategy. We will likely have an update later today.


message 271: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Woot woot!


message 272: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Updates!

We found another ship and need to sink 'er fast.

We're still looking for the final ship on this board too.

Keep up the great work, team!


message 273: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Staci, you just keep the hits coming.

Let me know where I should target next.


message 274: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments What do you think about these spots:

C6
A6 or A7
B1

Or you can help sink the ship: F2 or G3 to determine the direction it's facing.


message 275: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I'm super excited about the hit!! I hope to post for one target tonight.


message 276: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments So sorry I have actually slowed down my pace instead of picking it up the last few days. My sinus infection exhausted me more than I expected. I've been chipping away at an ebook and paperback, but those are much slower for me than audios, and especially when I have been dozing off while reading because of the exhaustion. I'm hoping to be back to my normal pace this coming week, as I'm on the mend now.


message 277: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Shame on your Andrea! Just kidding! Don’t stress! At the end this is just a game and reading should be fun!


message 278: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I have worked yesterday and today but hope to take tomorrow off and get in some additional reading! Hope you feel better. I also suffer from sinus now and then and people underestimate that!


message 279: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I know it's just a game, but I'm competitive... ;)

Thank you! I haven't dealt with it in a while, but this one really knocked me down. Working on rising up again.

I hope your day off tomorrow is so enjoyable!


message 280: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I’m competitive as well- need to remind myself it is a friendly game! 😜

May you feel better soon!


message 281: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Thank you!
Yep, nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. ;)


message 282: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Glad you are feeling better Andrea! Happy Easter all!


message 283: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Updates: Neither spot was a hit. I'm really hoping the ship we've already located is the two-spot. That would big-time narrow down where we need to strike to find that final ship.

Staci, do you have books ready to try one or two more spots on the ship at G2?

I should have an audiobook finished tomorrow. Would you like me to help with that ship or search for the last one?


message 284: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Yes. I have a book Finished so will hit G2.


message 285: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I've hit G2 - so we can Either try another spot for this ship or try to find that bothersome 5th!

I hope that is our 2-ship one so that we can find the 4 spot one quickly. Can't believe we are struggling so much this time!

I'm also busy with an audio, but it is a bit of a longer one.


message 286: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Sarita, I didn't make myself very clear. So sorry about that! We have already struck G2 (that's where we know the ship is already). What about switching your target to F2 to see if it's heading to the left?

I know!! This board has really tripped us up. I'm hoping for a quicker one next time.

I hope you're enjoying that lengthy audiobook! I love a good, chunky book, but the long, slow ones are torture.


message 287: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Happy Tuesday! I do have two books I haven't posted yet. I was waiting to see if my last guess was a hit, which it wasn't. I'll wait and see if Sarita's guess is a hit before posting.


message 288: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I also don't mind changing my target spot to somewhere else...I did sort off jump onto your ship


message 289: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I'm good either way Sarita. If you change, I'll post a book. If not, I'll just wait for the next board. We are close on this one!!


message 290: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Staci, we actually still need to find our fifth and final ship - either the 4-spot one or the 2-spot one dependent on what is going on with this current one.


message 291: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I changed mine to C1, then you can hit F2 :-)


message 292: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Sounds good. I posted both of my books. One close to the hit and the other in the top right quadrant which has been my target area thus far.

Currently reading two books and at about 2/3 of the way through on each.

Happy reading all!


message 293: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I just finished a library book. I think I'll hold it until we get an update. Hoping for a couple of hits!


message 294: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I'm almost done with two, so will hold on those as well.


message 295: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I finished two on Tuesday and am holding those also. Look forward to the update!


message 296: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Awesome! I love our plan. :)


message 297: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Totally changing my mind. I think I'll post my two books to rule out a couple of places the 4-spot could be hiding if we don't already have it. I'm soooooo hoping the ship at G2 is the 2-spot.

I was thinking yesterday was Thursday for some reason. Goofy short-term memory loss has been messing with my mental calendar lately.


message 298: by Andrea (last edited Apr 08, 2021 10:03PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I think I've sunk the 4-spot. We're still looking for the 2-spot.

Here are some possible spots to try:

A2
B1
C4
D1
G7
J8
J5 or J6
F10 or G10

Hopefully one of those will get us a hit.


message 299: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I will go for the A2 and B1


message 300: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I just posted books for I2 and C4. I think I2 should sink a ship.

Almost there!
