Play Book Tag discussion

Teams may feel free to set up their own threads (or separate groups) for individual strategizing and planning. This thread is for official game status reporting only.

Each team should have a designated leader for the month. The leader can change each month, but this is the person to whom I may direct questions.

Each team should have two posts.

First Post

Please create a post for your team that has your team name and each letter of the tag you are spelling. As each letter is completed, please post the letter, the titles of the book that was read, who read the book, if the book fit the tag, a link to the review, and the time/date the review was completed.

If you care to bold the time/date for the last review that completes the spelling of the tag word, that would be an awesome appreciated gesture, but it's not a requirement.

Second Post

This post will track additional reads and should be completed for January by February 15th.

Please include the following information:
1. Team name
2. A list of books that were read for the challenge BEYOND completing the word. For each book, note if it also fit the tag by being tagged 5x or more with the tag word. Also please note who read the book and the date it was completed.

Standings/Scores

Then, at some point after the 15th of the month, I will go through the posts, tally the points and post a summary for that month showing the points earned for each team that month, the standings for the month, and the standings overall.

Karin-Just a reminder: You do not have your books posted in the Individual thread

**Please let Joanne and I know when you've completed recording your books for January, so we can get the scoring done**

Our goal is to have all the scores recorded and checked and standings posted by February 15th, but we'd appreciate it if you can update these tracking posts in the next few days if at all possible.

Our posts are all complete. I don’t expect any additional books.

I see that a lot of the reviews were truncated when copying. We had this problem at first, but it was solved by disabling each link with a space just before the “ .com“. Then when the entire list is copied, you can simply remove the space. (This also solved my problem of links that accidentally opened when I tried to copy them. )

We are complete, as well, Anita. (Page Slayers)

Shadow & Flame are complete and checked.

Sassy's are complete

The Tenacious Trailblazers have no other books to add to our January tally.

Sally just posted a review for The Alienist, and I'm including it in our team tracking since I don't see a post for standings yet.

Thanks for the heads up on this . . .
