(5 points)-K.
(8 points)- J, X.
(10 points)-Q, Z.

I would suggest for books only claim spots for books you are reading (or starting with ASAP at first). Since this is going to move fast we don't want to be stuck waiting on a book for most of a week or more that someone else might have been able to finish.

Also saving blanks until we have too (for high point duplicates we might want to just hold them for awhile to see if we get to round 2. Instead of wasting so many pts on a blank. :) (WE CAN DO IT!)

Remember A and The can be used or skipped as the first word.

If a book can be used with another letter due to A, The or another language it would help if everyone would mention that so we know where/how we can move things :)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP IN REGULAR CONTACT SO WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! REMEMBER IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO DOES THE MOST POINTS AS THIS IS AN OVERALL TEAM SCORE!

Hi Rebecca!

Hi I'm here! This is my first time on a serious team and I'm so excited!

My buddy reads so far:

1st-

8th-

Letters I can use:

Ignite Me: I, V, E, N, D, J, S, B, R
The Cruel Prince: T, C
Restore Me: R, H? (the Dutch version is called 'Heel Me')
The Forgetting: T, F, L

Hi and welcome Aly!

Thanks for sharing the books and letters! This should make moving things so much easier! I think you should be fine for Restore Me using H if you choose/need to.

Hi guys!! I could also set up a spreadsheet that we all can edit :) and we could set a max on how many books someone can claim!

I don't have any BRs but I for sure will be reading Heart of Iron and Restore Me at some point in the beginning of the month!! Other than that I'll just fill in the gaps :)

I think a spreadsheet sounds like a good idea!

Lemme go make one and share it here!

Okay! Made it! I made enough space for 3 rounds juuust in case :D

Awesome, thanks :)

@Meaghan. Thanks for spreadsheet. Submitted request for editing. :)

I thiiink I accepted it, but I need to fix the link sharing settings to just allow anyone to edit haha. Haven't gotten to my computer yet

Not a rush. And thanks for making it :)

Link sharing should be updated!

Checking in.

5. Days of Blood and Starlight
7. Iron Gold
8. Insurgent
12. Legend
19. Half-Bad
20. Caraval

hey wolf! can you add that to the spreadsheet? everyone should be able to edit now

Meaghan wrote: "hey wolf! can you add that to the spreadsheet? everyone should be able to edit now"

Sure thing. I will try. My internet isn't real good. I might have to do it on Monday.

I added a sheet for letter we can use, so when/if we need to move things around we can. For the "The"'s, "A"'s and other languages available. Per Sarah we need to be able to site the original reader, book and post/submission. You can change it if you want but this way we can keep it all together and move things along quickly.

@Wolf- since Zom-B Baby can only be used for Z I figure whomever can finish and post on the review thread first can take if for the first round, and the other of us can probably hold off and use if for the next round. What do you think? This way we don't waste a blank righ away, plus it is a lot of points for another round when we get there..

Sure sounds good. I'll post second if you don't mind.

okay :)

I went ahead and added everyone's BR's :) I also put down Wolf as Zom-B in round 2

I'm not at planning stage yet. I actually really suck at that part because I just kind of read what I want when I want. So I will try to fill in some gaps as and when I can

@Rebecca That is fine too. I am not even worrying about BRs later in the month. You can add a book just as you pick it up to read, just mark the letter you need and look up any allternative letters it can be used for if you need to shift things around :). I didn't even add my books that have letter options to the actual rounds yet because of that.

As long as you enjoy what you read and we can get the letters to work, it is all good :)

This is going to be me too! But I am for sure reading the two I put down

I've enjoyed the series so far. Hope you do to!

Hey Wolf, if I continue to read the House of Night books, do you think they'll still count as a buddy read? Even though the thread started Feb 1?

Lets start one for March.

We can alternate the letters also.

Okay good idea. I should at least have untamed read, I'll see what I can get done

just realized I'm going to be reading the queens of innis lear from march 1-5, so I can cover our Q!

Great Meaghan.

Thanks Meaghan.

I should be starting this month off really strong. I got the first 3 days of the month off and doing a readathon Saturday so will likely be getting some last minute books read for letters. I am taking the next 2 days just to focus on my house getting cleaned and such so I have the max time possible to dedicate to reading. :)

Ahh exciting! I've got very little school at the moment, and what I do have to do in terms of homework often involves reading books, so I should also have a strong start!

Yay!

I should also have a strong start. I have over 20 buddy reads this month.

I'm gonna start the challenge by claiming the Q and a W for Queendom of Seven Lakes and Whichwood! :D may possibly be doing a reread of shatter me before release of restore me, so thats also a bunch of quick reads

Just went to the library yesterday and got these following books.

The Crown's game is a good one!!
