Hi team!"
Gotcha checked in!
Hi team!I was bored the last few days and made a spreadsheet that we can use if you want to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I think Alaina will have an SS for us but thank you. ^_^

LOL yes, it will be up some time tomorrow.

You are more than welcome to create your own though!

No, it's great that you make some! I'm so excited for this challenge! :D

Okay, so I have a question about the following task: "Book cover ONLY has the colors red, white & blue". I wanted to ask the team before I bother everyone else with my question. Does the cover need to have all three colors? Do you think
would work for this? It definitely has some black in it, so not sure if that's okay, and if it needs to have red it wouldn't work either.
Also, how does the "Banked Books" tab on the spreadsheet work? And do we just put in our books that we have planned so far or do we discuss everything here before that? :)I think one of the hardest categories from phase one is "Title has the letters J,A,R,V,I,S in it (in any order)". I don't have a single book that would fit in that category.
Mod
No, it needs to have all three - like
. However, you can use any edition of a book as well. If you have any questions about books for that, you can always ask :)

So, every team uses the banked books tab differently. You can use it for books that you are currently reading, or books that are read and reviewed but don't work for any categories in the phase that you are currently on. Just depends on what you all decide.

So, are we planning to discuss what we want to read? I'd like to BR some of the books and it's easier to find buddies a little bit in advance :)
GridGirl wrote: "So, are we planning to discuss what we want to read? I'd like to BR some of the books and it's easier to find buddies a little bit in advance :)"I can discuss them. I have a set list for now as I can only use the books already on my kindle/kobo and available at the library. I'll have more books if I get home on Friday.
Great! So what categories do you think you can cover with those? :)Do you maybe have one for the awful JARVIS category? 😅
Maybe you can put those that you have available right now in the Spreadsheet :)
Well I'm mostly focusing on my Patricia Briggs books for now so I'll see what I can use those for. I'm sure I can find some alt editions that might work for JARVIS.
I'll also be starting
sometime in April so that might work.
My library copy is currently on hold though so I won't get to it until I'm home. It would be my next read otherwise.
I've put in the ones that work for phase one and two. I might have others that work for phase one but I'm focusing on my Patricia books first.
Looks great! :)I also found this one
for the red/white/blue cover :)
GridGirl wrote: "Looks great! :)I also found this one

So, I put in mine as well, but feel free to move the books around, @everyone :)I'm starting with 'The girl before' and 'The Three-Body Problem' tomorrow, so it would be great if these two could stay in Phase 1.
I'll probably read my books for round 2 first as that's the order I have them in. Then when I get home and have them all again I'll start my books for round 1.

Hi everyone, I hope your reading is going good so far :)So, I finished my first book Girls with Sharp Sticks and I'm thinking about moving some of my books around a bit now that I know more about the plot of this one, but I'm not sure if everything would be valid and if you are okay with that. Right now GwSS is in the category "MPG Sci-Fi", but I have a lot of Sci-Fi books, so it would be great to free up that space for another book of mine. I considered moving GwSS to the "MC has a mentor" category, because the girls in this book live in a school setting where they have professors, guardians etc who watch over them and guide them to be "good girls", so I think that would work for the mentor category. In the mentor category I have Catching Fire right now. I'm thinking about moving that one to "Features a rejection" which is free right now, because if I remember correctly (view spoiler) (Minor spoiler for Catching Fire).
Do you think moving things like that would work? :)
I'm home! I'm home! I'm hoooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Finally! 🥳 Thank you, Paris and Air France for getting me home!Also I finished a book while I was traveling.
and got a good start on another.
I will be reviewing
in a bit and will probably almost finish
today as well. I have to unpack and everything so I won't have a ton of time. But we are also in quarrentine for 14 days so no change and lots of reading time!
I've already finished
and
this month! i'll be reading
and
if anyone wants to join my BRs :)

Welcome, Isabel! I'll check where your books could fit into our spreadsheet :)Also, Isabel and Anna, do you think moving around my books like this would be fine to get the points. I have no idea how strict these categories are 🤷🏻♀️

Moving them around how?

I think my books might work for other categories in the spreadsheet (I explained it in message 38), but I don't know if the books would actually count for these categories that I want to use them for, so I would like to have your opinion on it.
But maybe Isabel could use "Be not far from me" for the rejection category? The blurb says the MC's boyfriend hooked up with another girl; I'd consider that a rejection. I don't think it would fit any other category from phase 1 🤔

I somehow missed it. Reading now.

You can always ask on the Q&A for sure. I think they could be fine but it's hard to know for sure. ^-^

I don't think it would fit ..."I think if you can stretch it to work it will work. Most of the time if you explain it clearly enough and it doesn't have specific words like features or MC then it can be worked about. Even for features as long as it's a main plot point it should work.
