Spreadsheets
Master Spreadsheet

Team Spreadsheet

Unofficial 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.

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.

It would be great if you have gmail, because people had problems with spreadsheet when using other mails. Some couldn't even open them always.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5989 comments Thanks Tea i can see it now, i didn't see your response earlier

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5989 comments Hello Team Ashur more specifically
Hello Becca, Lisa, Ebony, Michelle, Regina and Cait.
This is my first time as team Captain. I am keen to make a good impression and will need the help of all of you particularly Becca as Co-Captain - have you done this before Becca?

I would be interested to hear if anyone can find a book that fits the goals. I don't read many series but the other 2 goals i should be able to find something but we need to find what suits us all. So polo your suggestions down. Can't wait to get going


message 22: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments Hello Marie!

I haven't captained this particular challenge (obviously lol) but I've been captain of a couple others so if I can do anything to help you or Becca, let me know.

As far as our current goals: I have the 2nd Harry Potter book sitting here waiting. I plan on starting it right away tomorrow morning so that will be one taken care of. After that I have a book that's totally set on an island, but I'm sure someone else will finish that goal before I get to it. But it's here just in case :)


message 23: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1123 comments Hello Marie! No Im new to being a co- Captain :)..

I have some series books I have started so I can definitely do the read book two in a series. :)


message 24: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5989 comments Thanks Cait and Becca I have at least five books that fit option 1 - I fancy starting the 15 lives of Harry august.

I have a couple of links to island books

message 30: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 465 comments Hi team!!(:

I'm almos reading The Young Elites by Marie Lu, I think that book would work for the second goal since Kenetta -I belive- is an island.(:


message 31: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 465 comments almost done reading*


message 32: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments Michelle, books started before the challenge begins can't be counted so unfortunately that won't work :(

This time you need to start reading when challenge starts (in about 2h). Books started before that time won't work.


message 34: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1123 comments Young elites is the first book in the series so she can read rose society which is book two :)


message 35: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 465 comments Oh I thought we could, sorry!!!

Anyway, I was also planning on reading Robinson Crusoe some time around next week, so if no one else can read a book set in an island I have that one :D.


message 36: by Cait S (new)

Cait S | 2825 comments That'll work! :)


message 37: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5989 comments OK so that looks like Cait has second in a series - Harry Potter
Michelle has Robinson Crusoe - for an island
and i Have 15 lives of Harry August - 400 - 500 hardback pages.

All other books score according to book size and may fit future goals.

I would be great if you could let us know what your shelf is for this challenge mine is glad-i-ating

Does this mean we all read them, or one person takes each task?

Ghost in the Stacks FYI. Bearded Ashur is way better looking!


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6442 comments Hi Abbie, I think only one team member has to cover each topic. The rest of the books read gets points according to how many pages they are. Once a team member shelves the book as read we get another task. So if we are reading non task books it may met the requirements of further tasks. So short answer is as long as somebody completes the task we can read what we like I guess.


message 45: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1123 comments Yes Lisa is correct :)

Mothpit Hello everyone!
Here's my shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...


message 49: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Aug 02, 2015 08:53AM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks So do we have each task covered, or do I need to work on one?

Do we have a running topic somewhere here for us to check up on?


Ghost in the Stacks ...sorry one more question.

Once the three task have nenn complete, more pop up correct?
So if I happen to be reading a book that fits for the new task, can we use it, or does it need to be started after the task was out up.

I just joined the challenge yesterday, so just trying to figure out all the rules.
