Do you want me to send you a message when we open board two so you don't have to keep checking back?

That would be great Sarah! I removed the reviews and also removed them on sheet 2. I added them to the banked books section! Thank you for helping me :)
Board 1 is now complete, and board 2 is posted, so if anyone has any books to post, please feel free ☺
I've got some smaller books to read and a graphic novel to add with the other one.
It's just has been really hectic the past week with work and studying, but I'm forcing myself to make some time to read and clear my head.

So, we've only got one week to go until the end of the challenge. Maybe we can focus on section 5 with only 7 books to go? So that could be another section finished? What do you all think?
For reference, books which are only available as audiobooks can be converted to a page count by doing the following:
Start with how long the audiobook is -
Eg: 4 hours 32 minutes
Convert this to minutes -
Eg: (4 x 60) + 32 = 272 minutes
Audible says that their audiobooks run at roughly 150 words per minute. So multiply the number of minutes by 150 to get the number of words -
Eg: 272 x 150 = 40,800 words
The average paperback has 250 words per page, so divide the total number of words by 250, to get how many pages.
Eg: 40,800 / 250 = 163.2 (so 164 pages)
This number can then be scored at the normal YA/Adult rate of 1 point per 50 pages

Is anybody buddy reading a book for descriptions 67/68? If not we should be avoiding that line because without the buddy read we won't be able to complete it x

My buddies aren't in our team, so I won't be able to claim those!

I think we'll probably just have to move the ones we've completed on that line to another line that we can complete x
Just so everyone knows what is happening, I have messaged those people who haven't posted on their team review thread in the last 2 weeks, just to ask them to please post any remaining reviews they may have before the end of the challenge x

Sounds great, have fun!

I have 2 - maybe 3, depending on the next days - reviews to post, I'll hopefully write them either tomorrow or Monday!
I've updated the spreadsheet a bit, and I've moved a couple of reviews around so that we've nearly completed sections 9 and 13 x
My graphic novel in message 87 is still on hold, but I'm reading another graphic novel, so they can be combined for the points.
I know, but I think the graphic novel will be my last read of this month. Maybe a small book, but I've got an exam on Friday.

I've moved a few things around to maximise how many sections we've completed. Well done everybody ☺

Sarah am I allowed to claim for sheet 2 or do we have to wait for sheet 1 to be completed? I tried to post 2 new reviews but Maddie asked to take down.
I just saw your message on the reviews. Thank you Sarah!
