YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

For vowels, Try a. it is more common"

KK. I think I can get that one for my hopeful BR of HPATPS. But should I use the A as my bonus letter or use it as the regular on and use another bonus letter? At this point I don't even really know what letters to guess. :(

use the a for regular and o for bonus? P might be good though too.

I might be able to squeeze in at least one more of the books although right now no one else is posting so I don't know if the BR is even still going to happen today. If it is and someone else finishes early and wants to read with me I can use A and (?) for the first one and H,P,J,K, or R for the next with O as the bonus.

Sarah has given us credit before even if no one else shows. We just need to be able to show her that we did have it agreed as a a br if you are the one that set it up. Just go make the comments on the post and be willing to respond back later if they show :)



Just tried B. Let us see if that helps any....

I didn't set it up. :( So I don't think I can do that. I just saw it on the August BR thread and originally I wasn't going to join since I had wanted to join the BR for The Selection and Cinder instead and three would be too much but now with the struggle with the puzzle I decided to try and join. Should I quit and try something else or just read the book without the BR?

and no b's. Aiya! I have no clue what this could be!

Jamie wrote: "and no b's. Aiya! I have no clue what this could be!"

At least the E in the authors name narrowed it down some. I tried going through the Groups books shelf again but gave up a 1/3 of the way.

Already did that. Also went through All books Abbie has read and all YA Sarah has read. Nothing.

And Sarah's to-read list is way to long to go through, lol.

Guess we just need to keep reading and hope for a good letter soon...

Kk. I'll continue reading HP then and hope someone turns up so I can BR with them. If not we still get one of these: HPATPSJKR

Using http://www.scrabblecheat.com/ to try and figure out possible words for the titles. You can declare letter length, beginning or ending letters what to include (or exclude).

Ooooh good idea. And I think I found a current thread for HPATPS

:) Great! And I am working on two buddy reads as well this weekend.

I don't have any more solid BR this week but I'm planning to try and join Cinder which started today but I don't want to join for a few days. The Woman Who Rides Like A Man on the 3rd, maybe Fire and Rogue. City of Bones, Eon, Eternity Curse and finally Scarlet.

I think I'm heading to bed for the night. Good night all! ^-^

well, I think I am done reading today. I will work on solving our currant title later but my eyes cannot take too much more. I have read a lot for 1 day.

I'm reading one right now with options I or H (also E or B but they've been used for our current book). Hopefully will have it finished for Monday - tomorrow is a surprise party for my mom so I'll be busy and won't have much time to read.

Oh, and just so we know on guess count. So far we have turned in 6 Reviews total and have use 1 of them for a final guess.

So 6:1

The bad thing is I can't find any for this one, lol. I expected the opposite problem of too many options.

I've been looking at lists. Not being able to find anything :(

It doesn't matter if you didn't set it up, if there's a thread set for a certain date you can use it ☺

Ah, okay. I just remember hearing months back that we need to be able to show something for the setup if no one join repeatedly. IDK. I know I have jumped into a few and those that set it up never showed and I just joined at the last minute and ended up being solo a few times :)

I usually go by the planned buddy reads thread, so if it's on there, it's planned ☺

That makes it easy. Especially on a month like this one :)

i'm trying to figure out the author right now

Gayatri wrote: "i'm trying to figure out the author right now"

I thought I had it but the author's first name was a letter short and one of the word's letter count was off but so close!
Good Luck!

I think that would be the best way to go. Well I am off to bed and then I got work early tomorrow so I probably won't be on for about 13-16 hours. Hopefully we can at least make more progress if not solve this book mystery soon!

Oh and Review to Guess ratio is:

7:1

I think we should try N, L, and maybe D next. What do you guys think?

Switching books. Couldn't get into HP so I'm changing to an old favourite that I can finish real fast. Letter options for it are G,P,L,K,H.

FINAllY got that book down!
On to the next.

title/quote guess ratio:

9:2

Next title to tackle:
T_ _ * _ _ _ _ _t * _ _ * _ _ _t_ _ _ _ by _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

first name might make this easier. Off to go search!

I think I got it! fairly confident so I guessed it.
Ration is now 9:3

I would wait for Sarah or Abbie to respond before adding more books if possible. I'll be back on in a bit (well I will show as online but I am AfK for a VERY late dinner).

hey

And we got another down! :)

So this is the tentative team scores according to my snooping.

Amethyst (S) – 5
Emerald (S) – 5
Diamond (S) – 4
Garnet (S) – 4
Ruby (S) – 4
Onyx – 3
Sapphire (S) – 3
Topaz (S) – 2
Turquoise (S) - 2
Citrine (S) – 1
Jade (S) – 1
Pearl (S) – 1
Quartz – 1
Tanzanite – 1


So we aren't doing bad but at least 2 teams are a puzzle ahead of us. >.<

Yeah we are doing decent but a few teams ahead. Sarah pulled totals about 11 hours ago and shared on main hangman board as well. We got stuck on that one tricky title for too long.
MIGHT get one book read today but likely going to be until tomorrow until I get another one up. I will try to at least help in solving titles as well but I read a lot for me this past weekend. :)

Guess Ratio
10:3
So we have several guesses to spare if we think we honestly have might have it.

I got sidetracked yesterday with severe thunderstorms so I didn't end up finishing my book but I'm about 1/3 done and should be done in about 3 hours if I can stay focused. What letter should I use though G,P,L,K, or H?

I think L would be a good guess. I just guessed E - there were a few! The three letter first name should help us! I'll go look now.

Jessica wrote: "I think L would be a good guess. I just guessed E - there were a few! The three letter first name should help us! I'll go look now."

KK. I'll guess 'L' then when I finish my book.

About 50% done now. After this I think I'll try to join in on a BR so we'll have that extra letter to work with. ^-^

L, H, or P would be good. :)

I have about 120 pages to go for a buddy read so hopefully it will be done tonight after I get off work.

GJ Jamie! ^-^

We are all doing awesome. Go team Ruby!

3/4 done now. Have to take a break and I'll finish it tonight.

I'm working on . I asked the mods to set up a BR starting today so whoever wanted to read it with me can just join in when they have time.

I might join that later this week. Trying to catch up on my other BRs right now. I just finished Guilty Pleasures and wrote the review but both Abbie and Sarah will have logged off by now so I'll post it before bed. Working on The Elite now.

Guys I am sorry I've not been there yesterday. I vomited three times. It was brutal

I'm about to finish my next book
