checking in!

hi everyone - checking in :)

I am here! I have had zero time to read for 2 days very sadly so am hoping I have time tomorrow to go full speed ahead

I thought you meant another challenge in the other group - I'm so much more chill in this one. This is the right level of 'challenge' for me lol. Nice to see you here :)

Sorry, im getting all my Jessicas confused ..thought it was you in summer BBQ group 🤦‍♀️

Checking in!

Hi Dee 😊

Hi Janine! Hope you’re doing better.

Getting there 👍👍

Buddy reads gives us double points. But the buddy reads must be set up in the Challenge Corner group.


Scrabble Q&A /topic/show/...

Is this for any BRs

Waiting for access to SS

Letters we have are

A E R R Y N H O E M

We need to read a book for each letter before we can submit a word and get new letters to replace the ones we've used.

Should we go with Harmony first?

Hi everyone! I've got you all checked in. I saw a share request for the SS from Jessica but not anyone else. The link in the first message of this chat should take you to the SS without needing to request access - is anyone else having the same problem? I might need to change out the link

Books I'm reading this week in case anyone wants to buddy read with me. (All MM romance)



Books I'll be reading soon that aren't MM romance

Im just reading Just A Little Prelude so once that is done i can do bk 2 with you

It just says view only for me

Ok, SS link should work now! Thanks for the heads up, and please lmk if there are any further issues with it

HARMONY is fine with me

I'm in for Secrets and Sake and The Orphanage

Here's some (MM) books I'm interested in but don't have on any sort of timeline if anyone's interested:

.

Remember,

Read one book per letter using any of the following:

1. Title begins with the letter (includes “a” and “the”)
2. Letter in author’s initials
3. Series title ends with the letter
4. MC’s first or last name begins with the letter
5. Publisher name ends with the letter

A E R R Y N H O E M

I can read for E..on the go at minute

Checking in

We can still bank books if we don't use them for these letters

Jessica, add me for the buddy read on Hijacked

All my book are MM Romance…
My books scheduled for this month:
(and known letters they contain)

A C G L P S W Y
C D E H S T V
C D H L M S T W
C E G K R T V
A B C D G S T

I’m currently reading a book that can be for the other E or R

Great! I’ll sending in a request for a Buddy Read… then have the link here for you…and anyone else who wants to join.

Checking in!

Also a quick heads up to the team, I'm gonna be fairly busy this month and potentially next month. So feel free to post any of my books in the banked tab for me if they work for something :)

@Dee if you can give me a week I'll read Starstruck with you.

@Amanda, same to you for Contested Crown

Hey team how are we going to track this?
I just finished a book that could be used for E or R

Do we just bank all our reads after posting a review and someone will figure out which books to enter on our spreadsheet to spell HARMONY?

In our Review, for how it fits…do we list all possible letters available since it could be used weeks later if not this week?

DeeNeez wrote: "Hey team how are we going to track this?

Yes list everything it works for, so for example,

How it fits:
E Author first Name
R Title

As long as we've agreed on the word and placement beforehand either the person who submits the final letter, or whoever notices and is willing to do it can submit.

What do we think about placement? It's been years since I played scrabble so I can't remember the best strategy, but I'm guessing we try and put the highest scoring letters in line with a double/triple point spot.

I'm thinking starting on 6H going down, so we get double points for the letter Y

Rats, I am not able to edit the spreadsheet.

Or..we could start G3 , go down and get 3 double letters, inc H & Y

or start A4 , go down and get double H & triple word

Yes same question I've got two books done do I put them on the "letters" or just banked?

-One of them is over 600 pages so think we should use?
