Challenge Corner discussion

I only saw Elite on the banked tab and it was posted already for Round 4.

Not sure if Elect was on it or not.

Alaina wrote: "Not sure if Elect was on it or not."

Okay, I'll post it then.

Alaina wrote: "I just started a book with works for author initials in PIE. Does anyone have a book that works for the holiday list?"

I checked the Holiday list but I don't have anything that will work. I am working on two audiobooks today and I added a book to the banked tab as well. I should be finishing up Pestilence today and I should have Gild finished by tomorrow.

I have a book from the Holiday List!

Here is what we have,

Author initials in AUTUMN - claimed by Alaina
Read a book off the Best Reads of the Holiday Season list - claimed by Alaina
Author initials in TURKEY - claimed by Vanessa

My book for holiday list is pretty short so I will finish that first and then go into my AUTUMN one.

Alaina wrote: "My book for holiday list is pretty short so I will finish that first and then go into my AUTUMN one."

yay

Okay, done with AUTUMN!

Wahoo!!

So after 'Author initials in TURKEY' is posted, we will be on Round 5.

Epic!!!

I’ll be able to post my 2 for round 5 tomorrow

I will be able to finish Gild for the Author initials in TURKEY task sometime today. Sorry I didn't get to it yesterday. I was in the mood for another story and finished it instead. But I've read over a third of Gild so it won't be hard to finish it up today. =)

If anyone has a book finished that will fit go ahead and post it and I will move Gild to the next round. Otherwise, we should be good to start the next round sometime tomorrow evening.

Kim I deleted your comment for round 5. We aren’t on that round yet. We are still waiting for author initials in TURKEY to be posted for round 4.

Oh golly I didn’t even see that, just saw we were claiming categories. I’ll keep an eye

It’s all good. ☺️

the color coding was for Alaina and I while we were sorting through banked books! Sorry about that if it is confusing. Green means a book is finished.

I have finally posted my review for the last task in Round 4! Later than I expected so I'm sorry about that. The book and I didn't mesh but I pushed through and finished it. If you have banked books for Round 5 then you can go ahead and post them. I don't have time to go through them at the moment but if no one does it by tomorrow then I will go through them. =)

i got it :)

How do you find the MPG of a book? Is it the first 3 pages of tags?

BookWorm wrote: "How do you find the MPG of a book? Is it the first 3 pages of tags?"

It's only on the first page, on the main goodreads page for a book

Oh ok, thanks

Sorry, idk how my book got put in for bird on cover, but it doesn't fit. Someone else should claim that category

There is an alternative edition that works for bird. It is linked in the spreadsheet

Wait I hadn't realized we were only on round 5 and not starting 6. Can I use my banked one for the freebie?

Celia wrote: "Wait I hadn't realized we were only on round 5 and not starting 6. Can I use my banked one for the freebie?"

I would say hold onto it. I try to use books that don't work for anything else for the freebie category

No sure if it would be best free book or something else, but I added The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to the Banked tab.

Here is what we have left,

POC MC: The Gilded Wolves - Vanessa

Ruthie, are you going to write your review for A Convenient Arrangement anytime soon?

Vanessa and Brad, I see you are still reading your books. Do you think you will finish before December? If not, let us know.

Vanessa, I hope you don't mind, but I am going to post my book because it works for POC MC, and I just finished reviewing it today. I will move your book, The Gilded Wolves, to the banked section of the SS.

Okay, I moved Ruthie's book to the banked tab. We are now on Round 6.

Yay!

I love this book club group and the challenges. Because of them I tend to read a lot more.

Howdy, everyone. Sorry I was MIA this past week. The Thanksgiving holiday was busier for me than I thought it would be and my husband's father passed away so I kind of went dark online. I am getting back into my usual groove today though. I will see if I can finish one of my current reads before midnight but I don't know if that will happen or not. Otherwise, December is looking good. I have a bunch of buddy reads planned that I am excited about. I hope that everyone had a great November and here's to an awesome December full of reading!

Once I get my December TBR together I will try and remember to post it in the thread to see if anyone wants to read anything with me. If you all post your December TBRs I will have a look as well. =)

If you don't finish reviews tonight that's fine, we can post stuff for the Christmas tasks when you have time!

I won’t be finishing by CR in time for tonight. I’ll def have them done by the end of the week for the first round of December/Christmas!
