Yup, then definitely need to buy it, plus it's on sale on Amazon and any excuse to buy books is good enough for me!

Okay, great! Thank you :)

I'm still on holiday, but I'm more than halfway through my first book.

Wowwwwwww :( :( :( We got a 0 point spin for 7 books!!! That's a real bummer.

Noooooo! Oh well, next time guys!

Posting my review tonight! Promise! And I've started two more books and will push to finish one of them by Friday.

Nice reading and reviewing everyone!

Oop! Thanks for telling!

Hey All!

I was wondering if anyone has a book that they have started that would cover the letter D for our 2nd board. Erin is already reading a book to cover the letter the letter C for that board.

Not me.. but we do have 2 visits from the bonus fairy we could use.. Just a suggestion

If Michela changes her E to the D, then I could fill in the E spot with a different book that I just finished. Then I'll buckle down and finish the C spot.

Shall I request it?

We should let her respond cause I don't want to kick her out of a 5 letter spot and give her a 2 letter spot, ya know?

Yeah I totally understand!

are different letters worth different points? I totally missed that. Sorry! I was just thinking of completing the board. Absolutely no pressure, Erin! Enjoy your book :-)

Well no but if we get a spin for 5 points and there are 5 "e"s on the board that equals 25 points. Where as if we spin a 5 and there's only 2 "d"s on the board that is only equal to 10 points.

Hey everybody!
So my town is on evacuation alert right now because of the fires in Canada, so if anything does end up happening here and we have to leave, that means I'll be MIA for a couple days before I can check in. I'll update as soon as I can if anything happens, and more then likely we won't have to leave, but I thought I should give you guys a quick heads up :)

Right now, I'm reading a book that could fill in the D spot on the second board, I should be done it by late tonight or tomorrow.

I just started "Our Chemical Hearts, and should be done by the end of tomorrow, which could cover the letter C if we do end up switching letters around

I just started "Our Chemic..."

I just finished that today! I left my comments on the buddy read thread if you want to chime in we can chat about it :)

Oh awesome! Sounds good to me :)

I finally finished my first book! On to the next one :)

@Saar that's great! :) But I think you have to wait for the right board to be on, to publish a review for it :)

@everyone I have a book for F but I can post the review this evening. If someone can be done with it before that's great, if not I'll take the spot :)

Oh, sorry. I just looked on the board where there were no books yet. Do I need to remove my post? If so, I'll do it this evening.

I don't know for sure, I hope some of the other girls know it :)

I have reviews for The One, The Heir and Hopeless for the next board.

That's great! :)

You could fill up F first. Im reading Furyborn half way and i'm struggling in it. I can't understand the stuff and its taking me a longer time. I've tried rushing through it but I can't D: so don't wait up! If we can clear board 2 im fine go ahead! Just move it to another board since i'm half way through and will still want to complete it.

Thank you! And I'm sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with it. I hope you would enjoy it more as you keep reading!

Hi girls! I've posted a review both for the F and the C, I just finished a book that can count for C so I have added it so we can go on with the next board!
Also, I have asked Sarah to count Saar's review for the next board, I hope it's ok with you

@Sibil: thank you for asking it. It's my second challenge and it's a bit difficult to follow, so I've went for the letters that weren't filled on the board. I don't know if I can read books for other letters that are already taken?

If you are speaking about the board on the spreadsheet, yes you can take the letters even if they are already taken there, because we can relocate the other book for another letter. You can take letters that are taken if there is a review posted for them.
We agreed on "who post first win the letter" so we can try and finish more board :)

Ah, thanks, Sibil, that makes sence :)

Sorry guys just popping in, saw Sibil's comment on my feed and wanted to elaborate. Sarah said she would prefer to not have to shuffle so many books around, as all of the letters correspond not just to page points but also to bonus wheel spins. So if she's swapping a book around that has already been used the 3 Rs she doesn't want to have to swap it to another letter because then she'll have to adjust for all of the letters you're swapping as well. Does that make sense?

She did say a few times would be fine for the same board swap, but you can't swap between boards.

No problem for me. When the board for my book opens, I'l post my review again. I don't want to make it to difficult for others as it is difficult for me to follow at times.

I'm done with furyborn. And I will write the review when Im home

I have finished a stranger in the house for a and will post reviews once Sarah had tallied up the previous board

I have two books done that I will also post when the previous board gets tallied up.

Just kidding. I accidentally already posted them.

So board 2 is done? Just waiting for bonus points? That's awesome! It looks like we have over half the books read for Board 3 too!

Yep! I hope it's okay that we've moved on to letters on board 3 before Sarah totaled up the 2nd board

Sarah counted my review (that I posted to fast) for board 3.

For some reason I can't login into the spreadsheet. Maybe because this is my working computer. I've asked access again tu you, guys.

@Erin - Why don't you post your review for as letter "M" on the current board and then Becky can put for "D"

Ohhhh. That's an excellent idea! I'll do that here shortly. c:

Just letting you know that I've started my 3the book for the 4th board. How is everyone doing so far?

Sorry that I fell behind on posting my review for Flamecaster. It is up now, so I think that means that we are completely done with board 3!
I am over halfway through Poison by Bridget Zinn for the letter 'B' on the 4th board. It is a buddy read with Kyra :).

I am also about halfway through with Etiquette and Espionage which I should be able to use for the letter 'E' on the 5th board unless someone else can fill that in first. :)

I feel like we are kicking this challenge's butt! You guys are awesome :)

Does anyone have anything they are interested in reading or have started that would cover 'Y' on the 4th board? If not I can dig through my 'to read' list. I hope to finish Poison in the next day or two but I do have another buddy read starting the 20th.

I’m currently reading “I’ll Give You the Sun” should finish tomorrow, I can put it there.
