Melissa | 3745 comments I moved it. Thanks for pointing that out.


message 202: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments It's going to be tough to find the MPG for this word. I've been searching and can't find anything. I'm going to look for the cover and see if there's anything for that.

No problem, trying to list options in case we do need to move things around but I've also worked them out pretty well to almost cover the whole word again. :)

Melissa | 3745 comments Welcome Nicole B!

All of the info you need is in the first couple of comments. Ask questions if you have any! :)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments Hi Nicole! :)

Also, I'm sorry for being a bit absent, school is kicking in fully and I still have two exams coming up this week. I am reading though and will definitely finish the book till Saturday :)

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments Next round is up... Shock THANKSGIVING

Didn't give us very much planning time this round after having a couple of weeks with the first word and week 2 released on Monday so it's probably good we got a long word with a lot of variety in letters. Although I will say we seem to get the longest of the choices each round and although there isn't a bonus for how many we complete those tougher letters would have been easier to rack up with words like "blood" or "potion" like some of the top teams had.


message 213: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments I think a lot of the top teams are reading longer books too so they are getting more points per book. I'll update the first comments with the countdown for week 3.


message 214: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments Speaking of longer books, I finally got my copy of Words of Radiance, which is around 1200 pages - I'll probably start reading it next week and try to finish it in a week or two so at least that might be a bit helpful.

Regarding the book I'm reading now, I'm more than halfway through and will definitely finish it by tomorrow, when I can start another one! :D


message 215: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments Thanksgiving by Janet Evanovich Thanksgiving would work for title and MGP but I checked my library and it's checked out.


message 216: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Thanksgiving is a pretty easy word so we should be able to cover all the Bonus books!

I'm still trying to find the Word on Genre for Trick or Treat but I'm not having any luck.


message 217: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments Just finished the book I was reading (yay!). Still planning to finish Crazy Rich Asians by tomorrow. It's been such a busy week.


message 218: by Beth (new)

Beth | 503 comments Finally finished Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. added it to the Books Read thread for letters A or E.


message 219: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments Just 8 more hours :D Are you excited for week 3? :)


message 220: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Does anyone else have a book they plan on finishing before the end of week 2?

We did a really amazing job this week! Let's keep it up for Week 3!!! The bigger the book the better :)


message 221: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments I wanted to finish Crazy Rich Asians but will probably postpone till next week as I still have 40% left.

But yes, we definitely did a good job this week! :)

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments @Melissa I'm not sure if you want to bother or not but my City of Broken Magic could fit into an O slot so you could trade with Nicole's C on the 4th line giving us another of the hard letters.


message 223: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Nice catch Carrie. I've switched it.

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments Melissa wrote: "Nice catch Carrie. I've switched it."

No problem. :) I just thought to myself it's a shame we didn't get another O and I done since we made it that far so I wondered if any would switch. :)


message 225: by Melissa (last edited Nov 10, 2018 01:00PM) (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments I'm heading out to pick up my daughter at a friend's house and then will be going to Church. If anything pops up that I haven't gotten to Sunny can you enter it? I think everything's been completed though so we should be alright.

1 more hour!!! Remember if you finish after the hour we can use for Week 3. The tracking tab is up so if you want to enter your books on there you can :)

Let's see if we can move up a couple more places next week!!


message 226: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments Will do, no problem at all! :)


message 227: by Carrie (last edited Nov 10, 2018 01:05PM) (new)

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments I started a long one for next round so I doubt I'll even finish it tonight forget about in the next hour. LOL

message 229: by Melissa (new)

message 230: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Welcome Wolf!

All of the info you need is in the first couple of comments but please let us know if you have any questions.

Our tracking spreadsheet is you can start to add your books. We are trying to read bigger books for more points this round but anything you can contribute would be awesome!


message 231: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments FYI Team - I apologize that I haven't told you this before. Last week was super crazy with me at work.

Andrea never responded to any of the messages so she was taken off the team and replaced.

Melitta had a family emergency and decided to leave as well.


message 232: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Barstad (maidenoflight) Welcome Wolf! Glad to have you with us!

Wolf (Alpha) | 167 comments Thanks Sunny.


message 236: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 167 comments Quick update, I'm about to finish up one of my longer books that will help us out.


message 237: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (sunnyisreading) | 340 comments That sounds great! Also, it would be very helpful if you could accept my friend request or Melissa's as we do have to make sure and double check that the books posted have the right read dates and are shelved correctly. Thank you! :)


message 238: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 167 comments No problem.


message 239: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Yes that definitely will help :)


message 240: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Keep those big books coming everyone! We are doing a really really good job so far!

We need some N's!


message 241: by Wolf (Alpha) (new)

Wolf (Alpha) | 167 comments I have an N book that I'm about to post. I just finished one of my 600+ page books.


message 242: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments How's everyone enjoying Wheel? It's moving pretty quickly.


message 243: by Nicole (last edited Nov 13, 2018 06:03AM) (new)

Nicole P | 1834 comments Posted a N book that will also help with a G, I and S :)

Do we still need a book with Thanksgiving in the title? If so, I can read Thanksgiving Night.


message 244: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments I can move Rina's Turkey Day Murder to Word on Cover and we can use Thanksgiving Night as Genre - it was shelved as Thanksgiving 9 times.


message 245: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (boombaby13) | 319 comments I'm reading Thanksgiving by Janet Evanovich right now which will fit genre.


message 246: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments ok great!

Nicole - you can read it or not whatever you want to do!


message 247: by Nicole (new)

Nicole P | 1834 comments Great! I’ll start tonight.


message 248: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Barstad (maidenoflight) I am doing my best to finish Gone with the Wind this week, after today I have the rest of the week off from work so should get it done.

I have about 30 hours of it left.


message 249: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3745 comments Great! That'll be a good amount of points :)
