RULES:
Once a prompt is started your team MUST post all ten books for that prompt before starting on another prompt.
Prompts can be completed in any order that the team wants. *see next rule*
Prompts cannot be completed one after the other of the same prompt. Meaning if you complete the ‘exercise’ prompt you must complete a different prompt before going back to exercise.
While working on your current prompt all tasks are repeatable. Meaning if your team is working on ‘Lose Weight’ and you have a book that works for ‘MC is plus sized’ but someone else on your team also has a book for that category, you may both post for that category while you’re still working on the ‘Lose Weight’ prompt. This means that your team could potentially post more than 10 books while working on one prompt. **However, as soon as the 10th category is posted for your team must move onto the next prompt.**
For this challenge, all members MUST complete the “How It Fits” when posting their books on their teams review thread.

***Updated team SS to include a sheet for keeping track of books posted/banked books. :)
If I understand correctly, we have to work on only one of the prompts at a time as a team. I am currently reading a book that I know works for these prompts/categories: Exercise: ‘Exercise’ in text (pg/%)
Diet: ‘Diet’ in text (pg/%)
Get a promotion: MPG Romance; Title ends with a letter in RAISE
Spend more time with family: Tagged ‘family’
It probably fits others as well but I won't know until after finishing it.
With which prompt do we want to begin?
I'm between books right now so I can make anything work.

The book I'm currently reading would fit 'Get a promotion' as well. It features a boss/employee relationship.
The book I'm currently reading doesn't fit any of the prompts yet that ya'll have listed, I could MAYBE find "sweat" for the Exercise prompt, however, I'm completely comfortable with holding onto it for a bit and trying to make it work for another prompt. It's a 600+ page book so it's going to take me a bit to chug through it. If we settle on a prompt, I can probably find a book to fit one of the selections in the mean time.
The books i'm reading at the moment (The Bell Jar, Weltgeschichte) fit the prompt "spend time with family" the best
OK, I'll start by posting in the "Get a Promotion" category. I can use MPG Romance, Isabel can use "Title ends with a letter in RAISE," Ta can use "boss/employee relationship" and Celia can make hers fit hopefully. We do have others who haven't given input yet, but we'll never all be able to post the same category at the same time, I don't think.
Vicki wrote: "OK, I'll start by posting in the "Get a Promotion" category.

And we can bank the books that won't fit and have a headstart on the next categorie.
Accidentally had Ipsa on two different teams. Removing her from this team, but they haven't checked in anyways. So no issues there. :)With that, you're whole team is checked in.

For books tagged 'Thirsty' here is a list to help you out, https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/...
Sorry I've been MIA. Just finished my first book and looking at the SS now to see where it could go.
I just finished one of my books, however it doesn't really fit into the category that we are working on now, so I will save it for another category and make it fit then. On to the next book!
Right now reading a book that I don't think will work but after this I'll try to tailor stuff more to this challenge
Hi Teams!Sorry I've been MIA for awhile.
I just turned 30 this week. (FML) My sister and I were sick. (Also FML) And work has been insane. (Another FML)
So, I just really haven't had the time to get on here.
For some reason, I thought I changed my mind on bonus points for finishing prompts? Apparently I never commented that I was adding bonus points though? Idk.
So, here is your notice that I'm adding bonus points for finishing prompts. 10 bonus points for every prompt finished. 50 bonus points when your team completes all prompts.
Happy reading! :)
