Challenge Corner discussion

I think we should use it against the Backroad Bandits

I agree

Do we have to say that in check in? I think we do. Maybe just edit your comment?

I can't edit I'm not on a computer

I think you can just add another comment, I'm sure Alaina won't mind!! :)

1 - The Darkest Minds
2 - Four: A Divergent Story Collection

I can try to search the book's texts to see.

Let me know and I'll read it if it works! :)

thank you for beign willing to post them for me. i did post review links next to all my spellout books. and i have river of teeth done. will be reviewing it shortly and will post.

i also have finished a few other books and will see if it makes sense to put them aside for tomorrow or review an dpost this cycle.

it's been a long few days. 3 ER trips in two days, transferred to a pediatric ER 1.5 hours away.. and we left with no real answers for now. just told "well, we ruled out the "dangerous" causes, so the rest of the workup needs to be done outpatient by your doctor." Her pedi can't see her until may 8th?! and then it'll be weeks to months of waiting for speciality appts to see a cardiologist due to how backed up everyone is. so frustrating. in the meantime, she still feels lousy and is having the same symptoms / issues. [ the main cause of us going was her heart rate being int he low 40s. she's 13. her normal heart rate is 70s-80s or higher due to health issues we have. when it drops, she feels lightheaded, dizzy, vision goes black, weak, legs giving out, feeing like she's going to faint, and she even puked once. an dthen the heart rate randomly fluctuates from low 40 to 140. makes no sense. she cried out of frustration because they did nothing to treat her symptoms or tell us what to do. i feel horrible ].

My heart goes out to you Kade. I hope you get some real answers soon.

hope you get some answers

I added a book to spellout for next cycle, so we just need N for that.. And i have another booking i'm reading { never, never } that will fit that if you'd llike me to put it in there.

for this week; i'm posting my detour Teeth and I have Time Will Tell for route info that i can post. or if you think i should leave it for next week i can too.

I believe I have a few more i need to review / can post. Do you guys want me to try to fit them for this week for more points or wait for next week?

oh and also - if anyone needs me to search text in their books to see if they fit any of the prompts, let me know. I'm able to download almost any book and search through.

Thanks Kade! I can read that next week for the U-turn if we want it. I have never read the first one, and I love the second one, so it's a toss up! I guess it will depend on my mood when I start to read for it.

Posted my detour book. I may leave the rest of the books for tomorrow / next cycle..

OMG your poor child! I can only imagine the frustration you are feeling as well. I'm so sorry to hear all of her issues. I'll be keeping her in my prayers!

Just posted my detour book. I'm done for the week.

posted for detour sorry it took me so long

the points are soooo close like less than a point right lol we need to hit them hard this week...we can do it guys

I plan to try and get a lot of reading done this week for UNO, so hopefully I can make everything work here!

I'm reading with Trisha, and it looks like Amanda read it too. Both of their books are listed under the spell out for week 4. Do we want to change that to Intersection? I'll be done this week with the book. It also works for #14 of the Route Info. So, where should I post my book?

Route Info?
Intersection?
Spell Out?

ill be a bit more active starting tomorrow. it's been a crazy weekend.

Jenny, move it to the Week 4 Sheet and ask Trisha to move hers from the spell out and put it in for Intersection! We can figure something else out for the spell-out book.

We will then need N and I, so be on the lookout everyone!

i can fill N.

posted two reviews.. and i have 3 books in banked that i can't fit anywhere.

I finished and posted the U-Turn book so we can pick a team to use it against now :)

Jenny! Your book "The Island of Dr. Moreau/H.G. Wells" works for the last letter we need for the Spell Out. Would you be ok with moving it there? If so, just edit your review post!

Shia! We had your book "The Serpent and the Wings of Night" in the spell out, but I see you added it for Route Info. Will you be ok moving it?

Can everyone please confirm the Spell Out is ok with them. We are crossing communication here and it's getting confusing. If you don't want your book there, please remove it ASAP.


N Kade Never Never - Part One
E Trisha The Menopause Murders
W Shia The Serpent and the Wings of Night
D Kade The Broken Places
E Jammin Jenny Exiles by Jane Harper
L Kade The Trees Grow Before I Bled There; Eric LaRocca
H Amanda The House in the Pines
I

my book is fine wherever you need it to be

Mine are good.

Yep! You folks can move my books around as needed!

Thanks! You'll need to update your Review post though!

Will do!

My spell out books are good - I posted for the I as requested, and I'm almost done with the E book.

Ok I believed I changed the review for Serpent and the Wings to use for Spell Out - I think this was the only one that changed??

I think so Shia! Thanks!

Whoever is checking us in make sure we use the U-Turn :)

thanks. I fixed the spreadsheet and forgot to update my review. it's all done now.

do we need me to read anything for any areas so i can figure out what to read next? lol

i finished my good vs evil read.. jsut need to review it.. i updated the spreadsheet to reflect that.

i feel like the route info topics this round a little more difficult .. so i do still have my banked books if anyone can find spots for them?
there's the following there;
never never part two - colleen hoover & tarryn fisher
never never part three
punk 57 - penelope douglas

N Kade Never Ne..."

So do you want me to post my review now for the spell out of my book?

Just a thought - on some of our unusable/banked books. What about another spell out. If we move some things around...

N - Never Never part two
E - The Ex Hex
W - Tears of Tess (Pepper Winters)
D - Punk 57 (Penelope Douglas)
E - See It End
L - What Can't Be Seen (Brianna Labuskes)
H - never never part three
I -

I haven't done anything on the SS, just looking for thoughts

I’m fine with that. And I can probably fill I too.

I think that's a great idea.
