And there's the word 'game' in the series name, so you could use it for I’ve been in Jumanji! Read a book with the word 'game' or 'play' in the title

Tati Already did that one, in the first game. But the food on the cover is one of the descriptions I haven't done yet

Bookbuyer wrote: "Sarah which part earns the most points when completed 1,2,3 or 4?"

Well, 4 earns the least because it only has 7 descriptions rather than 10, otherwise there's no difference between them, bonus's are based on how many you've completed rather than a specific amount for each ☺ And of course, there's the bonus for completing each game.


message 785: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Hope your dinner is delicious!! I may have another review up before then :)

Just so everyone is aware, it's the 24th now, so if you have loads of books stacking up that you've read but haven't posted in the review thread, if you could please work out what you're using them for and post them in the review thread so that your team know which descriptions they still need to fill that would be much appreciated

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Great job to everybody!
A huge THANK YOU!!! Two are amazing moderator SARAH!!!
I'm in a lot of groups, and do a lot of challenges, and nobody else puts in the amount of time she does on this! Most groups has the team members keeping track of books read and what descriptions they fit ET see
I just want her to know how much I appreciate her! She is putting in over an hour on each of our team just getting us up-to-date, that is a lot of time and a lot of energy, and the bottom line is she is a volunteer an amazing volunteer that is for sure!


message 799: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 91107 comments Mod
Okay guys, I've been working on this for ages, trying to find a fair way to adjust the points to account for the fact that some teams have members who aren't participating much, and other teams have readers who read a lot on them, so there will now be a 'points adjusted' column, which will move some teams up and some teams down, but should eliminate the advantage that certain teams have over others
