Congrats! You all have finished round 1 of your board and can now start posting for round 2! You also got 50 bonus points from your spin.

We also still have 4 books marked as on hold, maybe we can use some of them just to get them posted?!?!? I don't think they are on the spreadsheet so should we add them back on so we don't keep forgetting them?

I've looked I can't find a spot for any of them.

All books with reviews have been posted. I think only Keri's books are outstanding now. :)

Oooh were on round two I’ll post mine now

Awesome! We are so close guys!

If i dnf a book will it still count?

IDK. Ask in Q&A?

i think it only counts for pg points but im not 100% sure

OjoAusana wrote: "i think it only counts for pg points but im not 100% sure"

I'm not 100% sure either, but this is what I was thinking too.

Sierra wrote: "If i dnf a book will it still count?"

If you DNF a book, the pages you read will be counted towards page points ONLY.

Well shit looks like in going to finish it

alright I've finished the November book I'll write a review later, so we just need two books to finish this board I think!!

so i have a banked book and imo its a bit of a stretch but do you guys think a jack-o-lantern could count for candle on the cover? you can't see the candle at all but you can see that theyre illuminated?

You guys are so close to finishing your board! You have 4 tasks left:
Chanukah: Candle on cover
Winter Solstice: Author's initials are in YULE
Marine Corps Day: Features a character that is from the marines (current or ex)
Black Friday: Published on November 29th (any year)

**Answering OjoAusana's candle question - You would need to see an actual candle on the book cover. If not, then it will not work for that category.

I found this one I plan on reading today or tomorrow for candle on cover. It’s only 150 pgs so it won’t take me long 😬

lol yea just thought id try

I found a quick read that works for marines so I'll read that tonight and post in the morning.

Definitely worth a try!

I posted the last book we needed to finish Holidays!

Woohoo!

Yay, Jenny!

I wonder which one we will get next?

No, wait. I think we are going in order?

no i dont think we did 4 yet

OjoAusana wrote: "no i dont think we did 4 yet"

Just saw that. Oh well. I guess we'll find out in the morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was kind of hoping to plan now. I won't be up super early tomorrow.

Our choices seem to be Movies or Alcoholic Drinks so I might just find spots for my books amongst those two boards.

same :l

Cool.

FYI I updated our banked books sheet to list the ones with reviews first, then also sorted them by maximum points. When we get our board, if we can go through our banked books and try to get the highest scoring books with reviews already written in that board that would be awesome!!

That’s a great idea, Jenny! Thanks!

Sure!

I have some books I haven't added as I haven't written the reviews. I will only add them to the SS if I am able/willing to write the reviews though. :)

Congrats you have finished fourth board! Your new board is ALCOHOLIC DRINKS! You also got 45 bonus points from your spin!!

I have slotted my books in and am now finding spots for the books at the top of the banked section. I won't post any yet as the person who read it might find better spots. I just want them on the board before we go crazy. :)

Also I can move my books around a bit if we need to. Another reason I haven't posted them. That way we can get rid of as many banked books as possible.

I think since this might be our last board we should really talk to each other before posting as that way we can move things and fit as many as possible in. A lot of books can go in many spots and some can only go in one.

i was just looking to see what is fitting as well!

Good idea, feel free to plug them in first and post later, Maybe we’ll get lucky and be able to get another board 🤓

I'm determined for us to get another board. lol. so we got this y'all!!!

I can't remember what my banked books are and I'm mobile right now. but I'm also reading like 5 books right now that will hopefully be able to fit somewhere

We so do!

So glad that so many of us are on! That way we can really work together to get this done!

I do have the cruel prince finished if we need that somewhere. I can write a review for that when I get online.

Erin you have

Little White Lies
Fix Her Up
The Exceptionals

Do any of these books have

Features a character that smokes
Feature a book with at least 3 twists in it
Features a date
MC is a billionaire/millionaire
MC is into fashion
Features a drunk character
Features someone with an accent
MC travels by plane

Those are the hardest categories for those of us who have not read the books to figure out. ^_^

That should work for Trilogy of the top of my head. I don't know if Alaina is picky about novellas though.

I feel like champagne or tequila was in one of my banked books but it was an audio so idk. ):

I can usually check that. Let me see if Google books will give me some magic. :)

Hey guys! I’ll see if any of my books fit. I don’t remember too much about them anymore! 😂

okay. little white lies and fix her up were the ones I was really thinking. though fix her up could probably count for drunk character too

Erin wrote: "I feel like champagne or tequila was in one of my banked books but it was an audio so idk. ):"

Erin would you book Fix Her Up count for drunk character? I saw in google books in had the words drunk slob.

Erin wrote: "okay. little white lies and fix her up were the ones I was really thinking. though fix her up could probably count for drunk character too"

Sadly neither work for tequila or champagne. I'm hoping we can use Fix Her Up for drunk.

we could do that since I can't remember if tequila or champagne was mentioned and those might be harder ones

I put Fix Her Up for Drunk Character for now. We might need to move it.
