I'm just thinking that communication and posting reviews as we read will probably be important in this game, so we can get the letters up ASAP, any other thoughts on that???

I have to agree. We should all definitely stay communicated with each other and post reviews as soon as we have written them or are able to.

LOL! It just came to me as I was posting like four reviews, that it probably would not be helpful next month :-)

You definitely need to post reviews as soon as you have read the book. You need to get through as many boards as possible. This game is partly a race to see who can get through the most boards, as the team that gets through the most boards is generally the winner. You have to remember that there are a finite number of boards too. Often one or two teams will get through a lot more boards than the other teams, and when all the boards are gone, the game is over.

I'm ready :)

All of your team are now checked in. :)

Thanks for the heads up that we can run out of boards, so we need to be very diligent about posting reviews, and trying to figure these things out as a team :-)

Once you've chosen your number, one of you will need to post it on the review thread. :)

Number? Is that the number of the puzzle or whatever it is called we need to work on?? Maybe I should go read the rules ;-)

Yes :)

Anybody have a preference on a number?

Agreed. We need to get our reviews posted and discuss which letters we will choose as well. Do you guys know what you're reading next month? I think I have my reading mostly figured out.

Any number is fine by me. :)

Yep, we got through about 250 in about 2 weeks last time. And we didn't have this many people participating either.

Should I just go post any number? There's not like a magic number? A golden box number ;-) also not quite sure what I'm reading next month, how about you?

250? Now I'm getting nervous ;-) what did I sign up for???

This was one of the most successful teams last year, if you want to check out their thread ☺ - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Wow! That girl was good! You guys should check that out! I'm going to pick number 18 that's what they started with, maybe it is good luck ;-)

Yep, Tessa was really, really good at hangman! Although I remember Tatiana guessing some from one letter previously too ☺ It's cut-throat though! Lots of competition between the teams to get through those titles as fast as possible ☺

Are any of you girls good at wheel of fortune??? I'm guessing we should always start with bowels

OK, I just learned something about this game, you only get letters revealed if you guess the first letters in the title or author's name, unless it is a bonus but he read letter guess,

Ignore my above post, I got confused, so don't mind me ;-)

Yes let's start with vowels.

I was looking at my books trying to figure out books and authors that start with bowels :-)

A lot of the books I'm reading don't start with any vowels, so I'll have to use my buddy read bonuses for them

I think we will get it covered one way or another :-)

I think so. I start school again at the end of August and I won't be able to read much again until the semester ends in December so I plan on getting a lot of reading done at the beginning of the month.

Do any of the authors start with Val's?

OK, this starts Saturday, I have some vowel books ready to go! Curious to see how we do on this :-)

I'll be starting with Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger, hopefully I'll get through it fairly quickly. :)

Hey, anyone on right now? I'm posting my first review now for Etiquette and Espionage, planning to guess "E," any requests for my bonus guess?

Just posted a review and guest T, maybe pick another vowel like A or O?

Will do. :)

OK guys we have three letters on the board, can everyone take a look, I'm thinking one of the words might be out? Shoot I need to think a little bit more ;-)

Can't be out, it's only two letters. I'm thinking ON? But what's the first word? I thought it was the, but she didn't fill in an E.

I think the first word is the and the word with O would be of or or. I am reading written in red so well guess when I am done.

Do you think it would be good if I asked her if she may be left out an E?

That might be good, Jackie.

Jackie wrote: "Do you think it would be good if I asked her if she may be left out an E?"

I did, sorry! I just changed it.

No problem, Abbie. But I was confusing myself trying to figure out a word without an E!

Sorry, thought I saw an extra _ can't think what the first word would be without a e or o???

Has an e, it's the.

Just saw that :-) thanks!
