District 9
I have Dead Until Dark which I've been sleeping on for literally years which I'd be willing to read.
The actor that plays President Snow died!
Oh how sad! RIP Donald what a talented and kind person he was!We can go with Louise’s book if that’s alright. Gives us one less letter.
District 7 last book for you is vow of worth.
I have to go back and count. I’m not sure that’s their last book. Unless I’m wrong it’s only 9 books? Either way we get to start the battle next round so we’ll be ready 😇
Ok not their last book. They have one more after this. So let’s see if we can find a book that would force them to read 4 or 5 overlapping letters. More than likely it will have to start with WORTH unless someone has something that begins with OR TH… I looked I don’t have anything.
Hello from district 7, I wanted to clarify. Looks like 2 More books for you guys and one more for district 7. So last chance to stump us with this last one :) Countdown is around 13 hours for book choices Have a great day!

Worth the Trouble"
GHT would probably force them to use a bigger overlap. BLE could be used for bleak or bleach.
I saw a book titled literally just Worth which might be hilarious to make them also have to pick another book that starts with worth but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chiming in for district 7 too - For what its WORTH, I think it was less trying to stump you than to give one of our teammates who wanted to participate a turn :)No matter who "wins" this battle, it has sure been fun!
So question how does BOM work exactly? I get Melis is writing questions but do we just read and answer them or...

It's KU. I've downloaded it
(we were overly nice all round. I'm okay giving them back what they gave😊😊😊 )
You can read the BOM and answer questions at any time. For points you need to read and answer DQs during the time listed on the spreadsheet. It’s basically a month after it starts. Then you need to answer 3 days worth of questions. We’ll get an extra 20 points for each person who does that.
Works for me Trisha. I’ll let them know!
Anyone have anything that fits that they want to read?
Yes we can. Thanks Trisha! I’ll let them know our final book.
Rth Rising of course they found an rth! 😆 this book actually sounds interesting but it's weird. Their are two different précis depending on which cover you're looking at. I mean they are similar but strange they'd have 2 different ones. Also this is a terrible cover and screams porn on page to me lol
wow what a cover ! Screams dance battle to me :D
I know! I can’t believe they found a book with RTH 😂
The Battle Has Begun!We can officially start reading our battle books (a couple hours ago actually!). They can be read and finished in any order so you don’t have to wait for one to be finished before you can begin!
My boss is in Vegas this week so if anyone is sturggling to get theirs done let me know I will have lots of free time lol !!!
I’ll be online tonight to update our spreadsheet.
Incoming Supply Drop!
For your first Supply Drop of Round 2, we have given you:
The Wishing Game
Works for all resources:
Weapons: "make sure that no one is going to bludgeon Jack with the fire poker" pg 133
Shelter: The house on Clock Island is a Victorian
Food: "this was the best lobster bisque she had ever eaten in her life" pg 133
Defense: Hugo comes to Lucy's defense when Dustin tries to intimidate her into breaking the game rules pg 159
We are hopeful, given that it's also a BOM for the group, that it may be useful for any upcoming Mini Challenges this round (though they are as of yet unknown)!
Also, thank you for your question about what preferences we might have! We are happy with whatever you would like to send over, but protecting resources will probably stay our main goal, unless the devious Game Makers change things up...
Happy
May the odd be ever in your favor!

I plan on starting my extra challenge books Sunday/Monday and will update as I read!
I've finished my book for the battle.
Heck ya MH! Mine is next on my list! Finishing the Wishing Game today!
Great job MH! I didn’t get to the spreadsheet last night but I’ll be on tonight to update what I can.
I’m finishing up my current book (has to be back to the library soon so I wanted to get it done first) then I’ll be reading my battle book.
Back from my weekend away and catching up on everything GR.
My book for the battle was really bad, so I’m happy it’s done so I can focus on some more enjoyable reads for the rest of the week :)
