Hey Everyone!!!

Hi, checking in

Hi everyone!

Hey guys!!!

Helllloooo!

Hey team!

Got you all checked in!

Hi! Checking in!

Hey all! Checking in!

Checking in

Got you all checked in!

Adding Vanessa to the team everyone!

Ok, so looks like the crossword answers are:

Across:
1. Muggle
2. Timeturner
3. Bilius

Down:
1. Grawp
2. Unicorn hair
3. Quaffle


The mods made us a lovely SS, but I added a little sheet as well (letters for CW 1) because I think it'll be useful to see all the letters we need laid out so we can plan for the harder ones. If yall like that setup we can keep it, but we can also totally make changes so it's something we all like to work with. Lmk!

Also, if anyone wants to BR, here are my planned books for July:

Could we add a column to the left of how it fits for the letters so all the words are together? Like the first 6 rows would be Muggle, next 10 rows would be timeturner.

That way we know when we have completed a word?

Great idea Kim! That's why I made the second, unofficial sheet. It lays out the letters so we know what we still have to do on each word. I'm also updating the "Puzzle" tab with the letters as we post them so we can see it visually that way

i cant get to the SS during the day at work but i finished
for E for timeturner
and working on for F for Quaffle

Hey team!

I see that a couple of people haven't checked in yet. Since it's a long holiday weekend, happy 4th to everyone that celebrates it today, I will send out friendly reminders to everyone who hasn't checked in yet tomorrow morning.

Saige I was looking on my phone and didn’t even see that tab *face palm* that works perfect!

Omg, sheets on a phone is so tough! Glad you think it'll work well - I'm excited for this challenge!

Hey team!

I've sent a PM to Jude and Vanessa.

Can we use any word in the title of a book for a letter, or does it have to be the first one? For example, I'm reading "The Marrow Thieves" - could I use that for M, or only for T?

Someone's asked this in Q&A before. Any word works.

Howdy, everyone. Checking in. =)

Got you checked in!

Thanks, Eunice!

Hey all! Just in case anyone didn't see Alaina's message on the review thread, please make sure to tell her which spot/word your letter is for when you post a review so she knows exactly where to place it!

Kade, is it ok to move Summer Roommates to R instead of H? A book I'm planning to read only fits H.

sorry I didn't see this sooner. It's been crazy. I just moved it to the R.

also - can someone add a banked tab to the spreadsheet? I have a book that I can't fill anything with as of now.

Your review post still says H XD

Thanks, Kade!

i absolutely hate not having access to the SS during the day lol but im posting for my virgin river is that for R in unicorn hair?

yes, it's R in unicorn hair

Eunice wrote: "yes, it's R in unicorn hair"

awesome thank you...i hate work blocks the SS its so inconvenient

Looks like we only need U and N and we will be done this puzzle!

i will be done my U book tomorrrow

I'll be done with my I book tomorrow or the day after. If someone has something ready that could take that spot, please do! I can fit in my CR next round

I'm posting my i review shortly, and i do have another book that could replace Saige's i if we wanted to finish it quicker. I don't mind either way.

hey ya'll.. real quick.

If you are claiming a letter, PLEASE put it in the spreadsheet so it will save us any issues with repeating letters and avoid any confusion for what needs to be completed.

If you cannot use or access the spreadsheet, just ask someone to put it in for you. I'm sure most of us would be glad to help!

It's also fairly difficult to follow some of the entries in the actual review thread because some didn't label what word they're going for, etc. ;/

Just so it's posted in one spot;
According to the spreadsheet, it looks like-

All of MUGGLE, TIMETURNER, BILIUS, and GRAWP have been posted to the review thread.

QUAFFLE needs the following reviewed; q, u
UNICORN HAIR needs; h, i

unicorn hair - h - eunice - skinwalker
unicorn hair - i - saige - lessons
quaffle - q - amanda - quiet in her bones
quaffle - u - amanda - unsolved

They're claimed in the spreadsheet, but marked as "cr". I'll doublecheck against the review thread and edit if any have been posted but not updated. If anyone needs their claim replaced, let us know. I have a few finished that I didn't have a spot for this round. <3

How's your Q book coming along?

I put the book I have that can work for i in the banked books with a review link if Saige doesn't think she will be done in time. Otherwise, it can be used for the next puzzle. <3

q will be done by Thursday the latest

Amanda wrote: "q will be done by Thursday the latest"

Would you be okay with it being replaced with a book already finished for the sake of finishing the puzzle sooner?
