V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Just to let you know that I will be out of the country from 29th - 1st April with limited Internet access, I am visiting Poland (very excited)

I will still hopefully be able to update and pop in but won't be around so much, so super Lizz will be able to help you guys out with any questions or problems you have :�)

jingles I have another question. If we start reading a book in one week but finish it in another, can we count it for that next week?

For example, if I start Rusty Nailed on 03/27/15, and I finished it on 03/30/15, would I be able to count it for our second title (provided it fits of course)? The reason I ask is because I will have started the book during the week for word #1 (Baby Powder).

Also, even though I've made a list to start, is it okay to vary from it? I try to follow what I put down, but I always have lots of books on hold from the library, and when those come through, I need to read them first. I don't want to list them because I have no way of knowing when the hold will come through. At the same time, I want to be able to use them here when I read them.

Does all that make sense? It's early and I've just having my first cup of coffee. I may still be a little loopy. Lol

Yes, since we are only looking at the finished date.


message 117: by jingles (new)

jingles Thanks, Tea.

I guess I just thought that our books read for the color would have to have been started after that color was announced.

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)


message 118: by ❶İձ❶ (new)

❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9616 comments No problem. ;)

As for your other question, that's between you and your teammates. I'd say you don't need to stick to the list, but since you're not my team it could be called sabotage :P


message 119: by jingles (new)

jingles Lol, Tea.


message 120: by V_Nerdbooks (last edited Mar 19, 2015 06:32AM) (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Lol no you don't have to stick to your list at all Jingles, as long as you let us know when you have completed a book and put it on your shelf only when the book is FINISHED, then me and Liz can add them all accordingly.

How you have listed your books above is perfect, as we can switch them about if needed :o)


message 121: by jingles (new)

jingles Okay, great! Thanks, V!!


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 705 comments I might be reading

message 123: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments so if we read the books that we have posted (not a requirement :•D) we need a Y and W to complete the 1st word, we can then complete it as many times as we can for that week.


message 124: by jingles (new)

jingles V, I can add my Samantha Young book to my initial line up. I would start it right after I finish Accidentally Yours.


message 125: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

message 128: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Yeah u think that's right I listed 2, you listed 2, Lizz listed 2 and Jingles listed 3......does that look right?


message 129: by Kim (new)

Kim is there a letter we need covered more than the others?


message 130: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments I think we need a W and a Y still if you have one, but if not any of the letters will fit as we can fit it in with the next words.


message 131: by Kim (new)

Kim ok, i stink at planning, ive made a list with all letters but have already revised it like 10 times lol. i think i find it easier to have a letter as my goal.

message 145: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Haha I'm on countdown now.


message 146: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Okay I'm going to update the 1st word post for our letters.

So if we can read our books (obviously ) it doesn't have to be the ones you have noted, I'm sure I'll switch around, but I will only update the spreadsheet with our finished books.

If you can just post when you have finished your book me and Lizz can fit them in.

Can we maybe all do it the same way so that it is easier, damn it can't link ......one sec I'll be right back on my browser lol.


message 147: by V_Nerdbooks (new)

V_Nerdbooks | 4971 comments Okay that's better lol.

so can we all maybe do it like this ??

Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

335 pages
Finished 23rd March

Letters

O - Obsidian - Title
D - Daemon - Character
A - Jennifer Armentrout - Author
A - Justine Ayre - Narrator

Added to shelf

Just basically everything on the spreadsheet, it makes it easier for me and Lizz to check and add.

Is that okay for you guys?
