Spreadsheets
Master Spreadsheet

Team Spreadsheet

- Once all columns of a goal have been filled out a new goal will appear within 5 minutes.

- Do not change existing pages. You may add a new page to your spreadsheet if you want to track additional information.

- Mark books as used in your books list once they are used for a goal.

- Only books read during the current round may be applied towards goals, once the round has ended those books may no longer be used for a goal.

- Once you merge teams, you may use your books for your partner teams goals. List them in your books list and on their goals sheet. Mark them as used.

- If you end up with more than 3 open goals, contact a moderator for help.

Tammie, check Rules and in post #5 you'll find sign-up form.
For now you'll probably be on backup

The master spreadsheet and team spreadsheet has been added to the beginning of your team thread.

Captains and co-captains should message the moderator account with their team name and google doc e-mail to be added to the approved editors of the team spreadsheet.

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments These are our first three goals:
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter M
Read a book where the hardcover version is between 300 and 399 pages
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter T


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi everyone. This looks like it will be fun.

I'll be starting My Sister's Grave on Sunday which fits our 3rd task: main character's first name starts with a T as the main character's name is Tracey.

Alex | 1018 comments Hi guys! some familiar names here :-)


message 16: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments I'll be starting The Lovely Bones tomorrow which fits 'Read a book where the hardcover version is between 300 and 399 pages' as the hardcover version is 328 pages I believe.

Yay.

I still have to look over my books. So many things to get everything ready in time.


message 18: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Can everyone post their shelf for the challenge?

I think we should go with a first book completed that meets a goal we use since then we'll get a new goal that another book may fit towards. Finishing goals as fast as possible will probably net the best results.

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Hello Rosina :)


message 28: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments Hi Kelly

Looked over my books slotted to read this next week and have

Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter M
The Duchess War so I can start it tomorrow.


message 29: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Neat. I think it's best to aim for books that satisfy the goals but then if someone else reads one that works we use that so we get a new goal. Most of the goals aren't too hard so we should be able to assign books read earlier to later goals. Or at least that's my hope :)

I'd just re-read the 26 pages. That's what I plan to do with a few of my books that I'm still very early in.


message 34: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I have an M book too that's due somewhat soon to the library. (It's also over 500 pages).

We can use whatever book gets done first then use the other for another goal.


message 35: by Amanda A (new)

Amanda A | 629 comments Lead (Stage Dive, #3) by Kylie Scott
Finished 8/2
320 pages
There is a character named Mal, but he is not a main character.

Is there any other information that we need to post when we finish a book?


message 36: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments How's everyone's reading coming on today, gang?

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Read 2/8
328 pages

Hardback version is also 328 pages so would work for that goal.

Nope that's it. Add it to your shelf so I can find it if I need it. I'll go update our spreadsheet and see what our new goals are :)

BTW I've been out at renaissance fair all day today (in 92 degree heat!) but I'm back now so will be more chatty :P


message 38: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments If anyone else wants access to the spreadsheet to be able to update things I can give it to them.


message 39: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Current Goals:
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter T
Read a book that starts with the letter V
Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Historical Fiction


message 40: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Just started A Desperate Fortune which counts for historical fiction.

Not sure I have a V one. Looking.


message 41: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Ooo I do.

message 42: by Alex (new)

Alex | 1018 comments Lord of the Flies

Doesn't meet any current goals, I'll keep an eye and see if it meets any others this round.

Very good. I had a hunch about the big plot twist before it was revealed but I still enjoyed it. I listened to it on audio and really liked the narrator.


message 46: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Finished A Desperate Fortune Susanna Kearsley 519 pages 8/3/15

That works for our historical fiction one.

Will post shortly our new goal.


message 47: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Ack

Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter T
Read a book that starts with the letter V
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter T


message 48: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I'm currently reading a V book. I'll see if I have a T character book since we seem to need them.
