Gotcha checked in!

Since it's basically Saturday morning, I wanted to let every team know that the SS has been made! Sorry for the lateness guys - work was hectic! Just so you know the SS has zero formulas. I feel like everyone likes something different so I left them kind of plain and boring for now. If you need me to add formulas, let me know. If you want to jazz up your teams SS, you are more than welcome to!

Please let me know if you can't access the teams SS!!

ALSO - you will still find out your 5 categories tomorrow (but like.. after I wake up since I haven't gone to bed yet.. xD)

Team,

I have updated your SS with some formulas and you also have your 5 categories as well!

Awesome!! Thanks Alaina - I’m pumped. This should be a fun one 😉

Can you shed a little light on how the ones with 2 ‘blanks’ work?

So the ones with two blanks means you have to read 8 books total (4 per blank). For each blank, you can use the title, series title, or the author of that said book. Depending on what the category says.

Does that make any sense?

So we try to make a sentence using both blanks like in the game correct? Do we both each book individually or together completing the sentence?

One book per blank space.

And yes you are trying to make a sentence. It doesn't really have to make sense or anything because we don't have rules set in stone, other than the page requirement. The goal is to make us laugh because then you get extra points!

Do we post each book review separate or do we post them together?
Just for example - making this up here... I had a sentence of

A court of ___________ and ___________

The books I put together are: Ghost and Heartless

Do I post them together so we know that those are the two I’m using the the order in which I’m completing the sentence? Or would I post/review them each when I’m done reading (separately)? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense - It makes sense in my head but sometimes words are hard 🙄🤣🤣

You can do either or. Whichever really works for you and your team honestly. If you get a category with two blanks, anyone can read for any of them. If its easier to have a person read for both blanks and then post it altogether - you're more than welcome to do that. Or if you want to post one book per blank whenever you finish it - you can do that too.

You just need 4 per blank.

Just when you do the review post, say this is for blank 1 or 2 if you are doing them separately - that way I know which blank it's going under.

Got it!! Thanks for putting up with me 😉

You can also use any part of the title as well. If you want, you can look at Jennifer's question on the BAH Q&A - it will help :D

Yes!! That helps so much 😁😁

Checking innnn! Hi friends! (:

Okay, spreadsheet appreciation post because that is one beautiful spreadsheet! haha

Hi guys. I like the formulas.

hahaha I got you both checked in

It helps so much to not have to look at the points ommmggg haha I love the formulas also!

Checking in!

Jenn wrote: "Checking in!"

You are all checked in now!

I moved around the check marks columns a little, don't think we need one for Assigned since the category is colored... And I renamed one for books we've turned in. That way we can know if we should post someone's review for a book they've already read. And I added a formula to the Info Page, that will keep track of points.

Hey guys!! Super excited to start this challenge! What are you all starting November off with?
I’ll be diving into Roses of May by Dot Hutchison
And
The Remedy by Suzanne Young

Hey everyone! Excited to start this as well, I think we ended up with a great group! :D

I'm carrying over a few books from October (Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Worth It). And then going to jump into the several buddy series reads I have planned. Hope that some of my books will fit into a blank as funny... I'm going to focus on the buddy reads and BOTM first.

I'm starting with Muse of nightmares!

Behind on posting reviews, but still reading and finishing some books. Hope to get some time tonight after I do some errands/cleaning and make some progress with audiobooks! :D

Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop in with a little check in (: my workweek is Friday-Monday so I don’t get as much reading done but I’m still slowly working away over here. I’ll get more in and you’ll tend to hear from me more during the week! :)

I also wanted to check in. I have 3 books left but I have to find spots for them. I’ve been a little busy with my sister moving in with her kids and working. I’m exhausted my only getaway is reading!!! I should have a 4th finished today and look at where it all fits tomorrow.

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that i went to the Origin event in Austin over the weekend and we drove there from California so I've been out of commission on here since last week. But I have been reading and will post my reviews when I get home either tomorrow night or Tuesday!

Hello Team Spit, I wanted to let you all know that Cinthia has dropped from the challenge. I'm going to see if anyone from medium, just for fun, or serious would like to move to your team. If not, then I will send out a message to everyone in the group asking for replacement players

Thanks for the update! And sorry to see you go Cinthia! <3

I'm back at work this week after a lot of traveling/work events... I should be able to post some reviews on lunch today! Sorry, first of this month really messed me up with this challenge.

I'm starting in on the BOTM today... The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy

I'm adding Jessica

Hi. I got added to this team to replace Cinthia.

Welcome Jessica!

Hey Jenn.

Kelliiiiiiiii back on a team with you.

So. I'm reading Zom-B Gladiator which will work for The Lion, The Witch, and the Zom-B Gladiator

I also have The Prisoner of Heaven which could work for In space, no one can hear The Prisoner of Heaven

I also have Mann Cakes which could work for two things,
Instead of brains, zombies are hungry for Mann Cakes and
Money can't buy me love, but it can buy me Mann Cakes

Let me know where you want me to put these.

I think Mann Cakes could also work for what is Batman's Guilty Pleasure. What do you think? You can take my spot for Flawless there

It would. I can use it for anything though. If you want to use that spot, I can post it for a different category.

I'll wait until Brittany sees the posts and let her decide.

hahaha. I like Batman's Guilty Pleasure!! Honestly, I've just been going through and putting my books where I think they either make sense or are kind of funny.

Okay. I'll post it for there then.

Hey Jessica, I think you used the wrong category when you posted your review for Mann Cakes. It should be Batmans Guilty pleasure :)

Sorry. I did. I used my old completion post.
