Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I did a tentative list for myself on the second skeleton on the spreadsheet. I may switch one or two before next weekend but I'll definitely get the whole word read once the challenge starts though. :)

I claimed the letter T for the first round and added my book to the spreadsheet :)

Great - thank you everyone!

I can fill the E and Word in Text if we need it. I'm leaving it blank in case someone else has a book to fill it.

5 more days till the challenge starts! I feel like that time went by so fast lol

It feels like it's taking forever to me!

This whole month flew right past me if I'm honest.

Biting at the bit to listen to Emma in the Night...

I go back and forth about October either feeling too long or too short. Depends on the day.

Was there any rules about anthologies? I looked briefly but didn't find anything. trying to figure out how we would count it if there were multiple authors, or if we would try to go with an anthology that fit in the category with it's title.

I haven't looked into it in any of mine yet but with a few mysteries scheduled there's always the chance.

Usually with an Anthology if you read the entire book all the authors would count. I'll double check though.

Does anyone want to read a book that covers the MPG? the links are in one of the first posts. If not I'll see what I can grab.

Found the answer for you Melitta:

Where there are multiple authors, can they be used?
A: If attributed on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, then yes. For example, Eternity's Wheel. Where it is a book with a collection of stories and Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ shows one author as the "editor", then you can only use the editor. (e.g. Dog is My Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World's Oldest Friendship)

I thought I have seen rules about page numbers somewhere, but I can't find it now.

For the ebooks, do we use the page number of our read edition?
And for the audiobooks do we use the page number of the default edition?

Yes - For the ebooks you use page number for the edition read. For the audiobooks you use page number of the default edition unless the default edition is the large print edition.

Thank you, Melissa!

Guys, theres only 3 more days left! :D

So Excited!

Can everyone post here what they will be reading first and how it fits? I would like everyone to check in again since we begin in 2 days and 8 hours!!!! :D



I"ll be reading Skeletons at the Feast

I will most likely start off with Legend (it matches by first letter of the title)!

I honestly don't know yet what I'll be starting with. It depends on what I get done between now and the official start time for this challenge and my mood when we get there. LOL

What does MGP stand for?

My plan is to start with because it's a review copy, so I thought I need to get it out of the way.

Main genre page... or I actually think it's more MPG or main page genre. In other words in the top tags for the book.

Uhm okay. I looked up Skeleton and Closet on GR genres, and then chose most popular in both, and even Skulduggery Pleasant (which topped the list) was only tagged Skeleton 9 times. With Closet the most popular had been tagged 5 times as Closet and I'm pretty sure it will be on one of the last genre pages on both occasions.

Yea we have a tough word for MPG this week. I'll try and see if I can find something but we might have to let that one go if we can't.

For right now my first read is Emma in the Dark, for an E.

I'll be reading Two Brutes, One Barista.

Also by happenstance, another book I'm reading now has the word skeletons in it and can also be used for the letter L.

Nicole, unfortunately only books that you started during the challenge (aka after the challenge has already started) count. :/

We have just over 2 hours to go, correct?

Plan on getting caught up on my reviews in that time then starting with a clean slate with .

I just looked and the book i am going to be reading has skeleton in the text.

Just 19 minutes to go! Also, as said previously, mods are warning that books started and/or finished before the challenge actually starts cannot be used :)

Question for the captains....

Since I have all my books on the second Skeleton on the spreadsheet and I may be reading the same letter/s that others are should I hold off posting when completed or go ahead and post on the other thread?

go ahead and post when completed. We'll fill in your books where they fit as you finish them.

I did put my book on the spreadsheet so not sure if I'm suppose to do the completion post as well? I did it just in case.

yes, all books need to have a completion post, just adding them to the tracking spreadsheet isn't enough. i need to be sure they are completed so I can add them to the main spreadsheet.

Thanks!!

Week 2 words were posted... Shock TRICK-OR-TREAT

We'll have to dig a little deeper for this one LOL. For the cover here are some examples:




There's plenty of books with it in the title so that shouldn't be too difficult to find!

I'll read , I am not sure if it works for the cover, but it will work for the title.

Great thanks Rina! You can't finish until Week 2 if we want to use for Week 2 - just a reminder :)

We're about half way through - how's everyones reading going?!?!

I'm enjoying my book Skeletons at the Feast. It's pretty interesting to read a WW2 book from a German native POV. I've never done that before. Such a gruesome and awful time in our history. :(

I started A Darker Shade of Magic as well which would work for K if we need it.

I've updated the initial posts but here is the countdown for the end of week 1 and the start of week 2

I'm back from a trip so I've started reading Legend already! :)

I am a little over half way with
by Rivers Solomon

It can definitely work for S.
I'll have to remember to check for character names if it fits somewhere else as well.

I'm also reading:

Can work for one of the Es. I'm a third of the way through it.

Great!!!!

I am currently reading , I think I'll finish it tomorrow or on Thursday.
I am also hearing to , but I only listen to audiobooks while walking with the dog and since we have a terrible weather this week, I am not sure if I'll finish it this week.

I only listen to audio's when I'm on the treadmill. It's the only way I'll get on the damn thing 😂

Taking longer than i originally wanted for Emma in the Night. I've been trying to listen to it at work but we've been busy with new employees. Hoping to hunker down and listen as i work on my bullet journal for November.

Almost done with No Human Involved: A Munch Mancini Mystery. Will get it done tomorrow.

Awesome everyone! We only need 4 more books to complete 2 words and we've completed all 4 bonus tasks.

I think we can get 3 words done let's keep trying! :D

Not to rush anyone but will we have week 2 tracking up soon? I find it helps if I can get a visual on where books will fall with the ones I have to read coming up.

Looking at the spreadsheet I believe we have a few members of the team that haven't added anything yet. It would probably help to get an update on what everyone plans to have done at the end of the week so we don't end up with books that can't be used too.

I'll check on the week 2 tab for the spreadsheet.

We do have a few members who haven't checked in since the start of the challenge. I've let the mods know and if they don't participate in week 1 they will most likely be replaced. I'll let the team know when I hear anything.

If we don't have the spreadsheet up from the mods tomorrow I'll create one for the tracking spreadsheet. In the meantime just plan what you want Carrie and we can either plan around your books or move things around.

Thanks Melissa. :) I've been trying to look to see if things will fit the word, especially finder the tougher letters. I do know I have a few with I, O, C, K that might be harder to find.
