Gotcha checked in!

Hello everyone! Adding Catherine to the team!

Hello Catherine! Welcome to the team!

You know I've been thinking.. and did you guys even want a team spreadsheet? Since it's a word challenge? Or did you just want like a banked tab and everyone can add whatever book they've read and reviewed and what letters they work for down the road?

Not sure if that even makes sense because my brain is tired but let me know lol.

I personally like having a SS just because I'm Like That, but if other people don't think it's necessary I'm fine without one

I think it'd be nice to have a banked spot for our books/letters
but also a place to make letter/word guesses as a group (since we'll get penalized if we guess wrong!)

Thank you, Trisha! So excited to play with y'all.

I like spreadsheets but I’m ok with either our. Whatever the group decides

Gotcha checked in!

The spreadsheet has been uploaded. Just so you know, I put the same amount of lines for each "guess" but most of the guesses will be longer than that. So I figured you all can just insert lines whenever you get the lines/spaces for guesses :)

Hey everyone! I'm excited to start this challenge

Looks like our first clue is:
Adult: _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _

Any ideas?

I know lol but I can't tell ya. I would suggest looking at the adult BR threads though :) Because all books ones will be a BR in this thread.

The Second Bell works (and is a February buddy read)

I think The Second Bell is a decent guess. Are people down for trying that one?

I would be ok with guessing that

Where do you see 'The Second Bell' under the 'Let's Buddy! - Adult'?

I just found it under buddy

cool. someone else can check then

Well there's only 3 books under that buddy category :)

Wait, is let's buddy - adult even a thread? I see let's buddy - scifi, contemporary, historical and a ton of others, but I don't see "adult"

Yes, it is lol. If you click 'Discussions' it will appear there.

Ok, found it! I see "The Hating Game" on that list, and it fits the clue, so I think that should be our guess

Ok, I added my CR for a spot. Also, maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how did we fill in G on the SS?

Remember, we only need to read a book for one letter. If the guess has multiple's of the same letter and the guess is correct - then all the multiple's of that letter will show up.

So for example, you had the following:

Food: _ _ _ _ _

Someone read Normal People and they guessed P and it was correct. All the P's would show up.

Food: _ PP _ _

That makes sense. I'm just confused because none of the titles or authors currently listed on the sheet have a G in them

I just put (see above) so that only one book get's placed for that letter. So one G is blank and that's where someone would put their information.

Ohhhhhhh. Thank you!! I see how it works now

I read a g book that I listed under the banked tab that I need to move over and I can do that when I get off work

It looks like Trisha posted for that! But your book works for H, so I will post it for you right now :)

So it looks like Saige claimed E and we have I and N available to post for. It looks like Tiffany has a book that will work N that she is Currently Reading. I also have a book that works for I that I will finish today.

But if anyone finishes a book before we are done with our books, by all means, claim it and post for it. That way we get a new word!

I'll be done with mine for E tonight

Alaina, I finished reading a book for H or I but they're already claimed, so can I still post the book for page points?

Yay!

Sorry just saw this!! Hmm, I think we just finished our first word so I would say wait and see if it might fit the next one? You can always add books to the banked tab as well. That way once the team has figured out the word they can start adding books for the letters that we are guessing.

Okay gang, here is the new clue for us!

Classics: _ | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _

Any thoughts?

A Christmas Carol?

Trisha wrote: "A Christmas Carol?"

Pretty good guess :)

I agree. It looks like the only one on the buddy up - classics thread that fits

Okay, moved books over from the banked tab that were marked complete and had a review. Catherine since you said your book worked for H or I last time. I left H open for you. So you can post for that now.

Thank you! I posted my completions for letters!
