Lanelle Let's keep our assignments the same for this Round. Maybe next time we can change things up by assigning the rows vertically :)

Angie - Rows 1-2
Ashley - Rows 3-4
Lanelle - Rows 5-6
Melanie - Rows 7-8
Tiffany - Rows 9-10

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Sorry I fell off the map, ladies! It's been a wild couple of weeks--had a coworker leave unexpectedly, which has meant a bunch of scrambling to get on top of things at work and less time with my normal routine and my headphones plugged in. :P Hoping to get back to my regular pace soon!

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I’m so sorry. My last book was less than 200 pages. I checked this one and it counts. Almost finished with current book

Been there, Tiffany! I've had a couple reads lately that have come in just shy of the 200 mark. Don't worry about it--there's got to be a balance between reading for a challenge and reading what you want to read. :)

My current read won't work either, as it is only 144 pages according to Amazon. I need to read it, though, for review.
Edit: actually inside the ebook it says 226 pages and a different edition on Amazon says that, so i actually think it is 226 pages. It will work! :)

Lanelle I've finished my two rows. Does anyone want help with their rows?


message 69: by Angie (new)

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Gracious, ladies, I'm sorry I've slowed down so much! Between random appointments, an unusual workload and helping to interview replacement coworkers, it's been a lot harder than usual to squeeze reading time in. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back into a rhythm soon. :P

Thanks, Angie. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes (or ships :)

I'll post my and Melanie's books now.


message 77: by Angie (new)

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Just finished up my rows, so I'll try to help out elsewhere as well. I have no idea how both of the other teams finished this one so quickly! These ships are hiding well! ;)


message 78: by Angie (last edited Mar 20, 2021 02:10PM) (new)

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Eeek! We've found the last ships! Here are the spots we still need to call. (Some of them are guesses because we don't know which of the bigger ships is which yet, so we shouldn't need all of them.)

I1 (possible)
H2 (possible)
A10
C10
F4
F3
F2 (possible)
H5 (possible)
H9 (possible)
H10 (possible)


message 79: by Lanelle (new)

Lanelle Thanks for making the 'hit list', Angie. It will certainly help us focus our guesses.

I have one book to post on our review thread, and I'll have another by tonight.


message 80: by Angie (last edited Mar 23, 2021 06:50PM) (new)

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Updated list of spots to hit. Apparently I totally misread the top one--so sorry! That has to be the three-spot, and the other two are the four and five. :P

I1 (possible)
I3
I4 (possible)
F3

F2 (possible)
H9
H10 (possible)


message 81: by Lanelle (new)

Lanelle It's great that we sunk the destroyer. There's only a few more spots to get to finish off these last ships. I think we can catch up to the other teams quickly!


message 82: by Lanelle (last edited Mar 26, 2021 05:00AM) (new)

Lanelle It looks like Tiffany sunk our last ship. Keep your fingers crossed :D

I spoke too soon. Tiffany, maybe H10 would be a good spot to hit.

I think F2 is the spot we still need to hit, since H9 was a sinking shot. Check me on that, though!

I had an out of town appointment yesterday, but I should have another book ready later today. :)

Lanelle Angie wrote: "I think F2 is the spot we still need to hit..."

You're right, Angie. I was thinking it was a different ship that hadn't been sunk yet.

Are we waiting for Tiffany to pick a different spot, or should we go ahead and sink the last ship so we can start the next board? I have two books to report.


message 85: by Lanelle (new)

Lanelle We've sunk our last ship and we are started on Board 3!!!

Do we want to keep our assigned rows or change things up?

I will hopefully have one or two books done soon. Been slumping again. *sigh*

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments I'm happy to change things up or keep them the same, either way. (I know, I'm so helpful... :P)

I have one book I'll try to post tonight and hopefully get more in the next few days. It's been such a weird month between work and personal stuff going on. (:

The simplest thing would be to keep our rows the same, I guess. Maybe next Round :)

I'm off to report some books. I'll record Melanie's book while I'll at it.


message 91: by Lanelle (new)

Lanelle I think I'll try something different this Round. I'm going to checkerboard my area, just looking for ships in my area. I'll go back and try to sink them later.

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Just so you know, I'm still working at it! My series finale ended up about four pages shy of the 200 mark, and I had to DNF one today, but I've started another and hope to have it finished by tomorrow. :P

message 97: by Angie (new)

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Okay, if this last one isn't a hit, I'll think I'm going nuts! I can't believe I've hit blanks on three sides!!!

Lanelle, I also can't believe you've totally criss-crossed all through the middle and only gotten one hit!

This board is wild! XP

Angie Thompson (angiethompson) | 338 comments Wow, I'm sorry, you guys--I did not expect these couple months to be this kind of wild. Between out of town doctor appointments, making up work hours, helping coordinate a writing camp, and general chaos at work, I'm not getting near my usual reading in. But I haven't forgotten this, and I'm going to contribute as much as I can!


message 100: by Lanelle (new)

Lanelle It sounds like you're incredibly busy, Angie. I hope things settle down for you soon. And then maybe you can get some reading in :)
