We did:

Mod-ly Categories:
13. Read a book off of Aly’s favorite reads shelf

It was Clockwork Princess read by Jude! :)

[Alaina]

Oh oops, I thought I took that off lol

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

Howdy, everyone. I was just added to the team and I am going to see if any books I have read this month will fit anywhere. =)

[Aly]

Okay great!

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

I was able to fit one book into the categories that were left. I still have these two books if anyone can see a spot they would fit that I missed:



Also, can we not move on to the next hunt until all spots are filled in the first one? Or can we go on to a category in hunt two that we have completed in hunt one? Hope that made sense. =P

I've got this on hold - I can't make it fit any category :(

I've got one on hold as well. Maybe we could add a tab in the spreadsheet for finished books, that didn't fit a category in the first round?

[Andy]

Ta || bookishbluehead wrote: "Maybe we could add a tab in the spreadsheet for finished books, that didn't fit a category in the first round?."

I think the spreadsheet is just for us, so we could just use a category for next round, adding a column for "ON HOLD" or something, and then add them all to the review thread when the first round is finished?

We could also choose 2/3/4 categories we want to skip this month to progress in the first round! (I don't remember how many we can skip, but I think it might help... ;) )

What do you think?

You're right. We should add them to the spreadsheet. :)

We get 3 skips per month and I think we should use them. What do you guys think are the hardest categories to finish?

[Andy]

Unless anyone is reading a very long series, I think "Series Categories: 4. Book is position #8 in a series" sounds pretty hard...

The following also sound hard to me, but maybe someone has ideas:

Mod-ly Categories:
2. Read a book that a mod rated 1 or 2 star(s)

Title Categories:
3. Letters S, E, P, T, E, M, B, E, R in title (any order)

Publication Date Categories:
7. Publication date has the numbers 7, 8, 9 in it (i.e. July 8th, 2019) [in any order]

Author Categories:
4. One name author (no surname/family name)

What do you think?

[Aly]

I think 2, 3, and 7 seem the most difficult. I will look for a one name author

Aly wrote: "Oh I found a short book with SEPTEMBER in it! It's only 100 pages so I'll get it done asap"

Well done! :)

[Andy]

I still think this is the hardest! ;)

Series Categories: 4. Book is position #8 in a series

[Aly]

I also got a book that Andy rated 2 stars so I should have them both done next week.

I agree that #8 in a series seems hard. I'm not reading any long series right now

I'm reading the Charley Davinson series right now, I'm on book six right now but they're short so hopefully, I can get book 8 done soon.

[Andy]

Well done guys! Sorry I can't contribute, the one book I'm reading it's sort of putting me in a reading slump...

We could ask to use our allowance of three to avoid:

Publication Date Categories:
7. Publication date has the numbers 7, 8, 9 in it (i.e. July 8th, 2019) [in any order]

Author Categories:
4. One name author (no surname/family name)

and then I would suggest something from the remaining Member Categories or Goodreads Inspired Categories.

We still have a week to decide anyway!

[Ellen-Arwen]

Aly wrote: "Oh I found a short book with SEPTEMBER in it! It's only 100 pages so I'll get it done asap"

Amazing! I thought that would be impossible lol.

And well done Aly for almost getting to number 8 in a series - these were some seriously hard prompts! We're getting there :D

[Kade]

sooo i'm tryihng to figure out if the book i just read could fit the "spy' category. The book never officially titles Odin's job... just that he works for the government and "tracks" people of interest.... would that count as spy?
If not, does anyone want to try to fit the book in somewhere?

Works for spy for me 😎

Oh good!!! I’ll add it in. I added a book to the banked books as well if anyone wants to try to fit it in somewhere. I couldn’t.

[Kade]

also these are the books i'm either currently reading or buddyreading asap.... will they fit anything?


i'm pretty sure i can claim the first prompt using this book with the statues on the cover?

I could change this to in first 25 of YA books with weapons on the cover list if someone else has an author with S,J or A in (at least 2). Does that help anyone?

[Kade]

Wait im confused. If we have books we can’t fit in the current / first hunt, we are supposed to bank them right? Or are we starting on second hunt with them? I thought we couldn’t move onto the second hunt until we finish the first?

Yes, if the books don't fit the first hunt, we have to bank them. You can add them to our spreadsheet if you want.

I’ve been putting them in the banked section of the spreadsheet, but i noticed there’s entire for round two and I’m seeing some new reviews for prompts already filled - so I was curious if I was doing or wrong.
