Team Harry - Chat

[Saar The Book owl]

@Nathalie: can you post your book with the description, pages and review in the review thread of Harry? Thank you :)

[Aly]

Dierdra, please remember to update the spreadsheet or ask someone to do it for you when you post. This helps us avoid posting for the same category twice

I have asked people to do it for me on this chat because I don't know how to do spreadsheets but I don't know if anybody is done it

I'm going to go for 147 if that's ok read a book with the letter f in the title

I'll add it!

[Saar The Book owl]

I’ve finished my next book. I’ll write my review tomorrow and see where it fits.

[☘Misericordia☘]

Well, everyone, I think I'm out of here since there are some seriously strange ideas that mods of the challenge need people to do: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and I definitely am not going to be paying attention to anything about any updates. So, sorry, bye, have fun!

[Danique]

Quick question, I read a book with 'Witch' in the title; do you guys think that'll be alright to claim the 'wizard in title' (25) one? Or does it really have to be wizard?

[Danique]

I've also updated the spreadsheet because I realized it was out

@Yesha could you please update the spreadsheet when you claim categories? Or post a message here saying which ones you've claimed, because it makes it a lot easier to see which categories we still need to claim.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Harry, I know you've fallen behind a little, and unfortunately, I don't have anyone on the waiting list, so the only thing I can do right now is to add myself to your team (I hope you don't mind). I have currently read enough books to complete 17 descriptions, but are you using a system where you claim descriptions before reading, or after reading? I don't want to use any that anyone else is already reading for or anything x

Yay, welcome to the team! :) We have a spreadsheet, where we claim descriptions after reading! Here's the link:

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Awesome, I'll try to fill in some gaps x

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't know if I've messed things up now because the descriptions I claimed based on the review thread are already crossed off on the spreadsheet 🤦 Shall I just delete it all and start again?

[Danique]

No no, I've been adding them as you posted haha! I wanted to take the burden off you a bit sorry lol

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thank you! I thought I'd completely messed up 🤣

[Danique]

Hahaha sorry for the scare :P

[EdenB15]

Sorry I’ve got exams so haven’t been reading as much x I’ll probs get another book or so added

[Saar The Book owl]

I've added a book and I can finish a book for description 5 tomorrow or the day after. I've got not much more to read.

Oh okay, I will fill in, give me a minute

[Yesha- Books Teacup and Reviews]

Someone already updated. I'll make sure to update next time.

I'm listening and will start later this week but not sure where they will fit in yet

Thanks! I've already updated them :)

[Katie]

Hi team! Sorry I've been so quiet this month...I have been reading a bit though :) I'll get my reviews posted as soon as I can.

Can someone tell me if I can start a book this month and have it carry over into May since it's a two month challenge? I'm trying to decide between a few books which one to start first, but if I have to have it done and posted by the 30th, I might choose the shorter book.

Or can I carry over the book since it's a longer challenge? Thanks!

[Saar The Book owl]

@Katie: you can carry the book that you started in April over to May, because it's a 2 month - challenge, so no worries ;)

[Katie]

Thanks, Saar!! The book I wanted to read was on the longer side, so I'm happy I can start that one! HA!

[Saar The Book owl]

I'm finally going to finish my book for the first section, so that it is complete. I had so little time the last days, but will post my review tomorrow.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Does anyone have time to look at the spreadsheet? On the review thread we have 135 books read, but only 133 descriptions crossed off. I was trying to compare it to the spreadsheet, but I got confused by that too. Like, #140, and #180 are both crossed off by message 98, but there is only one book in message 98 🤔

[Aly]

I'll look at it

[Aly]

Okay. Task 180 should be fulfilled by comment 105 (unless we aren't counting Misericordia's books?) And I found the 2 tasks not crossed off and fixed them.

Also someone put a book called Out of Heart on the spreadsheet for task 137, but that was already fulfilled by Ash's book on comment 99.

Whoever posted Out of Heart listed the comment as 237, but that's a score post so it can't be right. If you posted that book, please pick a new category

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think Katie's book from message 239 hasn't been crossed off.

I'll look at Miscordia's, if the book was counted then the description should be crossed off, but there were several that weren't counted x

[Aly]

Ellen posted comments #63 and #64 for tasks 21 and 26, but they were already taken. Please choose new categories and let Sarah know.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

And Katie's book from message 238 hasn't been crossed off because that description had already been completed.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Message 105 wasn't counted because it was read on March 20th x

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, I've fixed Katie's books which makes the number of books and number of descriptions completed match ✔
Ellen's books were already moved to different descriptions when she posted them (#29 + #32) ✔
And message 105 wasn't counted.
I think we're okay now ☺

Great!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I just finished a book for #111 (Dance), I'll hopefully get it posted tomorrow x

[Danique]

Great Sarah! I'll have time to write more reviews on the train tomorrow, I'll see which descriptions are available then!

[Saar The Book owl]

I've got books for tasks 175 and 176. I'm planning on starting them this week.

[Danique]

I have a book that can either claim the one for an author with more than 1.000.000 reviews, or the one for 4 words in the title, which one should I do?

[Aly]

More than 1 million reviews seems more difficult so I vote for that one

[Danique]

Aly wrote: "More than 1 million reviews seems more difficult so I vote for that one"

Alright!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Ash's book that was posted for a description that was already completed ( ) could be used for #142 - Read a book with the letters 'C' and 'O' in the title/series name/author name. (For 'coincidence'.)
Is it worth it just being counted for that?

[Aly]

I think that would be fine

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll move it then, that way it won't get missed x

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I put it down as #164 as #142 had been taken but not crossed off on the second page of the spreadsheet. We have 25 descriptions to go x

[Saar The Book owl]

We only need a book for task 102 and then that section is completed too :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

11 descriptions to go ☺

[Saar The Book owl]

Nice :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Only 5 descriptions to go!
118) Read an anthology of short stories by at least 7 authors.
172) Read a book tagged Tear Jerker, or with the letters 'J', 'E', 'R', and 'K' in the title/series name/author name.
173) Read a book by an author with the name 'Ron' as part of their name (can be part of a longer name like VeRONica.)
174) Read a book with at least 50 editions listed on Goodreads.
175) Read a book with at least 60,000 reviews on Goodreads.

Board 1 still needs 118 & 175

I'm working on #118, I haven't managed to read much today though as I've been working on the June challenge x
