Sarita | 1386 comments We have a lot of books for this round of updates!

Well done team.


message 352: by Vinnie (new)

Vinnie Yes! It feels so good :)


message 353: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I can hardly wait to see if we have any hits. 😉


message 354: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Looks like Melanie's doing updates now, so we don't have much longer to wait. :)


message 355: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments We found another ship!
Team two did not find their final two ships, so we still stand a chance of catching them. :)

I'm updating the hunt/sink list now.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Hunting Targets:
These do not have to be struck in order. I'll use the strikeout format when they are used.
A1, A3, A5, A7, A9
B2, B4, B6, B8, B10
C1, C3, C5, C7, C9
D2, D4, D6, D8, D10
E1, E3, E5, E7, E9

Sinking Targets:
I'll add to this section as we find ships.
E10, B10, A8, A6, B7

Andrea's Quadrant

Staci | 1071 comments Nice that we got some hits!!


message 358: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Yes! My section should be done soon. I'm hoping to finish another book before bed tonight, and I'll only have three more after that. Then I'll help with the left-hand side of the board.


message 359: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments ahh, I was hoping for more hits.


message 360: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments We found all the ships!!!

Now to sink them.

Staci, great job on that big one!

Here are some potential sinking targets... all hands on deck! 🤪

D3, D5, C4, E4, A6, A8, B7, B10, E10

I’ll get J9 with my current read.


message 361: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments We have all our ships! Now to finish them!


message 362: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I have one finished and one almost done! Think we found our best strategy this round


message 363: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I think so too!


message 364: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Agree this strategy seems to be working.

Now that I'm on my laptop, I went back to look at J2. I thought I had posted that one so glad to know I'm not losing my mind. :-)

Almost done with this board!!


message 365: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Definitely not losing it yet, Staci. 😉

Keep up the great work, team!


message 366: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments 😊

Sorry - I passed out last night at 21h (night before the boys kept us up with teething and nasal cough issues).

So hope to have a better day of reading today!


message 367: by Andrea (last edited Apr 26, 2021 11:44AM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Updated list:

D3, D5, C4, E4, A6, A8, A10, B7, E10

I'm waiting to see if J9 sinks the ship in my quadrant before trying J7, because if it's unnecessary, I'm not wasting the book.


message 368: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Agree, Just posted for E10.


message 369: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Wait, I changed it to A6, just for in case your B10 sinks that ship.

Can do E10 next round.


message 370: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I just posted for E4.


message 371: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Do we get updates on Monday or Tuesday? My short-term memory loss has me a bit confused today.


message 372: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Monday


message 373: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Thank you! All day yesterday, I thought we got them on Tuesdays. Then, this morning, my brain apparently tried to straighten itself out, because I wondered if it was actually Mondays. Thanks for helping me get it figured out, Sarita. :)


message 374: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Target list:

D3, D5, C4, E4, A6, A8, A10, B7, E10

Hopefully today's updates will reveal directions for our final ships.


message 375: by Andrea (last edited Apr 27, 2021 10:38AM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Two of my targeted spots didn't get checked yet, so we don't know the direction for one of the ships. But if I've figured it right, that's the two-spot, so it should be sunk once those spots are checked.

Here's the updated targets. We need all three to sink the ships. Lets do this!

E10, C4, F4


message 376: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments I just posted for F4.


message 377: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I'll have another one done in just over an hour.


message 378: by Andrea (last edited Apr 27, 2021 10:41PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments We only need one more book for this board! Woot woot!

Who wants to take C4?


message 379: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments I have just over an hour on my latest audiobook.


message 380: by Andrea (last edited Apr 27, 2021 10:41PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Posting for C4 now. :)

Do we want the same sections/strategy for board #5 as we used on this one?

Please hold all reviews until we get our new board.


message 381: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Cool, I have two for the next board ready.

I think this strategy worked very well, so lets try it again.


message 382: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Yay! I have one ready and working on a second. I would love to be able to pummel the board pretty strongly with the first barrage of shots.

As soon as we get our new board, I'll get the target list started up for us. :)

Staci, are you still good to go on figuring up your own shot list for your upper-right quadrant?


message 383: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments The last board is going to be a battle!


message 384: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments For sure! It's probably going to go pretty quickly too.


message 385: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Good to go with upper right quadrant! I have one to post.


message 386: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Perfect!


message 387: by Andrea (last edited Apr 29, 2021 10:41PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Way to go, team! We are now on board #5 -- the final board! Let's finish strong!

Here are the target spots for the left half of the board.

A2, A4, A6, A8, A10
B1, B3, B5, B7, B9
C2, C4, C6, C8, C10
D1, D3, D5, D7, D9
E2, E4, E6, E8, E10

Happy reading, ladies!

message 388: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments We already have a hit! Woot woot! Who knew we'd be so blessed as to get a hit on the first barrage of shots on the final board?! Hopefully we'll continue to find more ships quickly.


message 389: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments I have three books to post, so hope we get more!


message 390: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Fantastic!


message 391: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Excellent start!! Just posted the one I had waiting.


message 392: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Great job! That’s an interesting and different last name the author has, Staci. Do you know what country she’s from (if it isn’t America)?


message 393: by Staci (new)

Staci | 1071 comments She's a Michigan native and lives in Florida. Agree, it's a unique last name. It's her debut novel and was very good. YA.


message 394: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Awesome! It’s so great to see more debut authors each year.


message 395: by Andrea (last edited May 08, 2021 12:46PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Updated Target List:

A2, A4, A6, A8, A10
B1, B3, B5, B7, B9
C2, C4, C6, C8, C10
D1, D3, D5, D7, D9
E2, E4, E6, E8, E10

Happy reading, ladies!

message 396: by Andrea (last edited May 06, 2021 11:54PM) (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Staci, would you like to try I5 to see if the ship in my quadrant is tiptoeing into yours? I've got a book in for I8 to see if the ship is going farther down as well. I should have several books done this weekend, if all goes well, so I can do I5 if you'd rather. Thanks!


message 397: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Hope to have another book ready for Monday. The last few evenings I was too tired to read.


message 398: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Totally understandable, Sarita. You’re a busy little mama. ☺️


message 399: by Staci (last edited May 08, 2021 12:38PM) (new)

Staci | 1071 comments Sorry for the delay in responding Andrea! Friday I was away from home for almost 14 hours...a good day, but a long one.

I'm glad to choose I5 for my next guess. I just finished a book and guessed one for the ship in my quadrant, but will target I5 next.


message 400: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 4741 comments Thanks so much!

Wow! What a long day that was for you. I'm glad it was also good. Sometimes those long, good days are the best.
