Hiyas! Good to see you again. You've been busy/quiet and been missed. Awesome to be on a team with you and hopefully chat again. :)
Hey everyone :) I've just had a little look and all the other teams have Google Docs spreadsheets to help organise their letters. Do we want to follow suit? And, if so, is anyone tech savvy enough to create one, as I suck! Lol.Also, our first board is:
Thorn by Intisar Khanani
A nice short one :) I have a really short BR set up for the 1st that I can get read on the first day and it can count for either A, N, S, H, A, R, O,
Hi guys!!! i'm so excited to be in this team!! Go team! I am soooo ready... i just got back to reading since the 17th and i am enjoying it again... i've read 9 books so far... so i am hoping to keep this rhythm and read about 20 books this month...
I'll be reading
on the 1st since i don't have BR's planned for then... I will take the letter K when done.
on the 1st since i don't have BR's planned for then... I will take the letter K when done.
I'll probably be starting with
. I'll be reading as much of that series as I can this month so lots of the same letters.I also have some standalones and first in a series I'll be trying to get to.
im so confused. Do we have a book title that we are spelling out or have we not gotten it yet? I am having trouble finding it
go to the reviews thread and u will find it there.

And, if so, is anyone tech savvy enough ..."I don't think it is as necessary for claiming spots and such like in previous years since we can now use any letter in the title/series/author name, vs when you could only use the first letter. That is going to keep this really open.
But if we want to have one for easier tracking between scoring, it might not be bad for finished books (either posted or will be posted within a day or something). Might not be bad to easily see what letters we need.
Also, since it is no longer serious, fun, etc reading levels and we are mixed together, if people claim a spot, it could either hold us off or leave someone with a lot of reshuffling work since we will want to post asap for higher spin chances.
But I will go with whatever the team decides. No big deal either way to me.
Note *I just asked on the main thread about if we can use titles in any language to chose our letters from. Normally we can but this didn't say.*

We can always all just post here if we are unsure about which letter would be best to claim too.

I'm looking forward to this challenge beginning :)
Hey Jamie. I think we can use different language editions as I found this in the rules :)* You may use different editions with different titles, but they must be made up of English letters (accents are okay).
* If your book has multiple authors, you may choose a letter from any of them, including narrators, editors, illustrators, translators etc.
* When punctuation occurs in a title or author's name, you may use the words on either side of it, if that is how it appears on Goodreads.
Lots of options for us all :)
Finally checking in again. It's been a few months.

Yes! I'm going to be on more for the MMC for sure. Probably for some of the fall too. ^_^

That is what I was looking for but wrong keyword scan on my part. Thanks!
I don't think any of us will have any problem with finding letters. lol. I love when challenges are really easy. ^_^

Here is a basic SS for tracking letters, finished books. I added a tab to moved boards as we complete them so newest is always at the top. Also a tab for books ready to post, waiting for a new board etc. We can post our info and post for each other if we need to this way ( especially great if someone cant get on regularly. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
We can change it if unliked or someone else can make something different. I only finished the first 2 boards for now.

Thank you.

My first book of the month will be Lore, but I'm thinking of saving it for the second book title to fulfil as I can use the Z there and that might be difficult for us to find otherwise.
Just a heads up for all, if we are pre-claiming spots a lot on the SS, and if current spots are full, I will just be placing my books on the other tab more often, with link info so when others have time to figure out what has vs hasn't been posted and can shuffle things around they can just post books for me please. I will be very limited on when I can post with my new job (posting from my phone is too hard for links and same with shuffling an SS). My time is going to be very limited for reading time as is and I don't want to stress or spend my time figuring out what can be moved where for pre-held spots.Also, we should keep in mind some people might take longer reading and if we are claiming spots right away this is going to mean we need people who can do all that shuffling on a daily basis or completing bard titles can take a long while. We also have fast readers (Mummy, Dannii) who can zip through books fast and keeping slots free for them to add them in quick vs holding a spot for several days or longer is a good courtesy idea. Also keeping in mind that some may not be chatty about reading progress and update the SS.
I think I'll be starting with
as my first book.
^clarification, I will be on daily but will not have access to pc daily for SS shuffling and review posting. So you'll see a lot of chatting from the phone app.

I clearly can't read. Oops! No idea why I confused an X for a Z. I think I just got excited that a rarer letter was featured.

I'm on pretty much everyday too so I can shift things about if that changes.
I'm also happy for people to switch my books about if they find a book that only fits for a few certain letters but the book I've put in a certain spot can fit for more.
TBR-definitely will change because I am indecisive lol
there will for sure be more but that is all I can decide on right now ^^

Not worried about you claiming a few spots. Meant it more for others who might not read so fast but claim several spots or even claim 1-2 spots but take 5+ days a book. I don't want to see people like you and Mummy having to constantly move things if people claim several spots but aren't either fast readers or gonna have a good chunk of reading time. The other part was just an fyi since my pc time is gonna be crazy limited for a while. Maybe 10-15 minutes a day on weekdays, so that doesn't always give me time to make BR comments, review and then shuffle SS, hence why mine might just be on the other tab. And I'll comment here if I do that so maybe someone with more time can wiggle things around and get it posted. If not I just wait. :)
@Brittani (sorry reply isn't working) I just read
a couple months ago. Fun read! Enjoy!
