awww

Okay, so... Kelly gave us a tutorial for making the book upload on the spreadsheet automatic - all kinds of awesome - we can turn it on, but, goals & BOMs still have to be added by hand, meaning during GMT waking hours, since both co-captains and I are from that time-zone.

I have a naughty idea... but need to let it blossom first :D

There must be one of those list for Snakes too

Well... the hobbits I could fetch from the attic trunk... Snakes is not an option... at least not for me.

Okay team, spreadsheet no remakes members shelves once every hour.

Grace and Megan, you can still run it manually if needed.

So I only have 10% more to go with , how are you all doing with your reading?

Hoping to finish at my first break, so by lunch I can see if I can grab something to go with one of our unclaimed goals.

HOT NEWS: As Grace said, both her and Megan are GMT time-zone, so, Abbie will join the co-captain team!


Grace
Megan
Abbie

That is great news. Thanks for helping Abbie.

Thanks Sonia for automating the spreadsheet

Our current Open Goals

°Read a book set in your home state or country Lauren
°Read a book that has been on your "too read shelf" for more then 1 year Stacey
°Read a book shelved (listed on the first page on GR) as to-read - plurals and spelling acceptable Abbie
°Read a book that starts with the letter W
°Read a book with the word girl, boy, woman or man (plurals are acceptable) in the title

I can take the goal with the boys/girls/men/women in the title.

Yay thanks Abbie :) 3 co-captains we should be a very organised team...

I have like 50 pages left of my current book. But thought I'd check in. This thread is moving fast now the challenge has started!

oooh that W goal is hard, I have one book but its 'the w..' so that probably won't count.

Well done for editing the spreadsheet without breaking it.. I shall be editing it very carefully, lets hope it isn't me that breaks it!

Yes, it counts. You can take the "The, A, An" out :)

Awesome thank you Sonia!

Woop just finished my first book, and managed to update the spreadsheet, and it looks like it's still working.. Go Me!

I had a little moment where I used the 09/11/2015 then went "oh I bet its the other way" so I put 11/09/2015 which is totally confusing and I'll very much mess that up a few more times :)

Okay So I'll do the W one using The Winner's Curse if that is cool. Hopefully should have that finished if it is a good book.

No Problem Grace and Megan, with us being in different time zones, it will help, cause one of us is bound to be online!

Finished , let me see if I can figure out this spreadsheet!

Abbie wrote: "Finished , let me see if I can figure out this spreadsheet!"

Yell if you need help.

Its too pretty, afraid I think I might mess it up. Sonia, is there directions on how to imput what I need, so I do it right?

If you mess it up, we'll fix it. Don't worry.

@❀Tea❀: Remind me next time to release a draft before start date and to do instructions per tab.

We were too far away from towers III and too close to gladiators for brain to catch up that this had a LOT of new things.

I'm currently reading a book that starts with a 'W', it's Who Buries the Dead and I'm liking the book a lot (I'm 50% in). I really recommend the series.

I'm currently still at work until 7pm so will check in again later :)

okay, I attempted, but have to cover someones lunch, so I will check back later and see if everhting looks good on it.

Current goals(I did do something right)

Read a book set in your home state/country                 
Read a book that has been on your "to read" shelf for more than 1 year                 
Read a book that starts with the letter W                 
Read a book with the word girl, boy, woman or man (plurals are acceptable) in the title

I can't wait for next book!

Read a book with a homophone in the title (http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/...)
Read a book where the kindle version is 500 or more pages

:)

Everyone is doing great and no one has broken the spreadsheet :)

I am reading Guns n' Boys: Book 1, Part 1 which works for homophone boys/buoys

I am really enjoying Rivers of London.. I can't believe I put off reading it for so long! Hope everyone else is enjoying their current reads!

Glad you are enjoying it. I really need to read Rivers of London, my best friend has been on at me to read it for a long time, when I got the book it was the only one in the series I think there is 6 now and I still keep putting it off.

I put off reading it for a long time as well - quite a few of the books have come out since I got my copy. I will add a review when I finish it. For the last couple of months of this year I am trying to read books in series I need to finish/ books I have had on my tbr for a while

I start every year with the intention of finishing off series I have already started and reading books I own before buying new ones. I have never lasted very long, I am so easily distracted by something new and interesting.

I think the word needed at the end of that was 'yet' and I haven't heard of that book before Lauren I'll have to have a look at it :)

Ellie wrote: "Finished another book and possible goal but I'm not sure. Does the word "welcome" count as a book that starts with the letter w? Hopefully, yes ;)

I posted on our read books as well."

Wait! Wait! Wait!

I told you wrong.

So So SO SORRY

Goals Read a book that starts with the letter mean the TITLE

what? now i'm confused, does this mean I have broken the spread sheet?

Megan wrote: "Sonia wrote: "Ellie wrote: "Finished another book and possible goal but I'm not sure. Does the word "welcome" count as a book that starts with the letter w? Hopefully, yes ;)

No.. sorry, confused Athena with Artemis.

The Welcome is the title, right?

ive already marked that goal off, hence why I put up new goals earlier. Does 'The Winner's Curse' count?

I really am confused if it doesnt could someone edit the spreadsheet, Im not near the computer :/ and my mobile won't play nicely with the google sheets

Its fine. I was just getting mega confused.

Is there a place that we have the currently being read books matched to their goals? The spreadsheets are for books already completed,
Correct?

Ok. So since I am a minor (14) I am not captain. I have no idea who will be captain or what will happen. Bother Sonia (the mod) not me. I know as much as you do know.
I read The Emporer's Soul and am currently reading The Martian. I have to get back to HW.

Megan wrote: "Is there a place that we have the currently being read books matched to their goals? The spreadsheets are for books already completed,

We are just posting what you are currently reading, with what goal it might meet at the moment, the goals will be changing all the time, so it might be hard to keep up with who is currently reading what at the moment.
We can however make a list of finished books, that we might be able to use as a goal latter on.

Rebecca Abbie, Megan and I are sharing Co Captain duties. Thank you for trying, sorry you can't continue as Captain.

Can you please post your finished book Here

There is a guide to the posting format in post 3. I hope you are enjoying the Martian, my son is reading it at the minute too.

I can use the reserved posts in the books read thread to track unassigned books if you like. There is a tab i the spreadsheet for Goalless books, I can enter the ones we have there if you want.

Thank you so much Grace!

Rebecca No problem, can you please add your book to your tower teams shelve and make sure it is marked read. You don't need access to the spreadsheet for the goals the current open ones are


Our current Open Goals

°Read a book set in your home state or country
°Read a book that has been on your "too read shelf" for more then 1 year
°Read a book with the word girl, boy, woman or man (plurals are acceptable) in the title  
°Read a book with a homophone in the title Homophones
°Read a book where the kindle version is 500 or more pages


Your book The Emperor's Soul would work for Homophones Soul/Sole if you wanted to add that to your post.

I am currently reading The Martian would that work for
°Read a book with the word girl, boy, woman or man (plurals are acceptable) in the title
I am waiting on Sonia for form access.

Rebecca you don;t need form access , if your completed book meets one of our open goals just state the goal on your post and ABbie, Megan or I will enter it for you. You can add the goal Read a book with a Homophone in the title to your post for Emperor's soul and I will update it.

I don't think The Martian works for that goal, but it may work well for a future one.

Rebecca, you only have to tag books on your challenge shelf, which your did, and post books in Athena BOOKS READ, which your also did.

Spreadsheet is only edited by Grace, Megan and Abby, or any of the 7 mods

Oh...
