Yes! In the SS (spreadsheet).


message 4: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Okay! So, in the SS (click the link), you have the ghosts. And prompts. And related to those prompts, you have to complete your books. If at the start, you start a random book, check after reading in which prompts it would fit. For example, I start a book which is the script of the play 'Wicked'. After reading, I can fit it in the prompt - 'Read a book that features floating or flying.'

Questions :-

Will we get extra points if we read it with our team member or any of our friends??

Do we have to read with every prompt in order to kill the ghosts??


message 6: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Oh, so basically you have to read all the 6 prompts in order to kill one ghost. They don't have to be in order, you can read any prompt from the ones you got :)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
No...you have to read 18 different books, for now. And according to your goals, I'm sure you will accomplish it :D

Ok I had similar questions that Aarja answered so I'll reply
Yes for a buddy read there are extra points, but the buddy read has to be within the group, and also there are certain buddy..."


Oh, thank you. <3

I was also planning on reading Ruin and Rising! And I'm thinking of reading Renegades and the first book in the Shaw Confessions.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

I have read both Shadow And Bone and Siege And Storm. I was thinking of just reading Ruin And Rising books I don't really remember what happened in it... Is this your first time reading the series or are you rereading it?


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Great! Can't wait to see what you think about it! If you need some to rant to, just message me!

Aahana wrote: "But it gets so much hate... do you love it?"

Yeah, I mean, I read it after I watched the movie and I loved that movie. So apparently I liked the book too, but that was like six years ago when I used to have a crush on Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and that changed. Probably my book taste is changed.
It doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It's a pretty little mediocre fantasy...Oh you know, you can read Midnight Sun without actually reading the other books because it's the same story from different perspective.

message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey! You are no longer alone! I'm reading Ruin and Rising which has a character with white hair.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah! We can suffer through it together!


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm starting tomorrow! I have an exam today but then I'm free for two weeks or so.

Here's the number of pages I read in these two days :-

100 pages of An Abundance of Katherines

120 pages of The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

There's the word cloak mentioned in The Hobbit which is our prompt too. I guess I have to comment that in review thread after I finished the book. Also, I am going to read Such a Fun Age this month which features a baby ( another prompt ) so should I mark that part in the spreadsheet??

Okay, also I love the The Babysitters Club, and yes, it counts! Though the graphic novel might deduct points...

Also, I checked the SS, and I love the way you have organized it! I did make some changes, and let me know if they are visible :)

2 ghosts will give us 40 points right?? I hope that's good enough.
:D

Ayesha (ay_es_ha) | 345 comments Mod
Do we get to kill the ghost from another team after we killed a ghost of ours or do we have to kill all our ghosts in order to hunt others'??


message 42: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
After you kill just 1 ghost, you will get one more.


message 43: by Ayesha (new)

Ayesha (ay_es_ha) | 345 comments Mod
That's great then. Cause we have almost killed 2 ghosts. I mean, we eventually will!!


message 44: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Basically, a character who screams commonly.


message 45: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

No..first post all for ghost 1 otherwise it wouldn't be fair :)


message 46: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
And also, your ghost 4 would be credited if you complete your original ghosts first.

Feyre✧・゚: (illyrianfemale) | 22 comments Hi so I am on the spreadsheet and this may be the stupidest question ever... but what is CR? I am so sorry this is very stupid :(

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Oh, this is not stupid at all! It's basically Currently Reading. I didn't get space to write it fully, so I used the short form :)

Sorry, what do you mean?"


I mean, first, complete your original ghosts (ghost 1,2,3), and then only ghost 4 and the other ghosts would be counted.


message 50: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
No..you will get the next ghosts but they won't count.
