Time is flying, #ScreamTeam, and the mid-month points check-in is almost upon us! Tomorrow-ish (19 October), please tally your points and either post an update on your profile and tag me, or post your points in the comments. (I confess that I have not been keeping track of my own points at all, so if you're having to look back at your posts and figure out your points from scratch, you're in good company!)
#HauntedShelf

Seabreeze_Reader I'm reporting 1627 points for our mid-month check-in. 🎃 (Also posted in my updates.) 3w
ImperfectCJ @Seabreeze_Reader Nice total! Thank you for reporting your points! 3w

vonnie862 1276 points so far 3w
TheAromaofBooks I'm at 1376!! 3w
sebrittainclark I'm at 2084 points 3w
willaful I'm at 6721 for the first two weeks. (Not counting any bingo points which I prefer to do at the end.) 3w
ImperfectCJ @vonnie862 @TheAromaofBooks @sebrittainclark @willaful Everyone is putting me to shame! (And totally cool to hold off on the bingo points until the end of the month.) 3w
vonnie862 Same, I'm holding off on bingo points until the end of the month. 3w
Laughterhp I‘m currently at 5544 points! 3w
Roary47 Sorry life got busy. I‘ll tally up points by the end. 😬😭 3w
ImperfectCJ @Roary47 No worries at all! It's the ending total that's most important (and even that isn't, like, critical. If it were, #HauntedShelf would be much more Hunger Games 😉) 3w
tdrosebud Sorry I'm late on this. The app doesn't work for me and I always forget to check the website. My mid-month total is 1426 2w
ImperfectCJ @tdrosebud No worries! The ending points matter most, and it's all in fun anyway. 2w

Here's the second of the two #HauntedShelf games I'm posting about today, #ScreamTeam.

This one is a month-long game all about finding words in your spooky reads! I always love this idea and then do horribly because I forget to look for the words, so hopefully you do better at it than I do. :-) (I suppose I could search the words in my ebooks...not sure why that never occurred to me until now.) At any rate, have fun and track your points!

Laughterhp Searching for the words on your e-reader works really well! I did that last year. 1mo
willaful @Laughterhp I've been reading an unusual amount of print this year, and listening to audio, and it makes things much harder! But I imagine it'll all work out in the end. 1mo
ImperfectCJ @willaful @Laughterhp I tend toward more audio and print, too, but I have a lot of ebooks this year, so hopefully that will help. The best is when I'm reading in print and long press a word to look it up. 🙄 1mo
Laughterhp 🤣🤣🤣 1mo
IriDas I shall try, but I get very caught up in my reading and forget too. 😁 1mo

Okay, #ScreamTeam! Although the #HauntedShelf solo games are on the Discord server and Google Drive, I'm posting a couple more here, too, to highlight them.

This one is a month-long game posting book recommendations that fit the prompts. Have a fun time, and be sure to tag posts #ScreamTeam and #HauntedShelf, and tag me if you'd like so I can see your recommendations!

IriDas Sorry, I cannot find the email that had the link to the discord and it looks like I never joined it. Can you post it on the Drive? Thanks. 1mo
ImperfectCJ @IriDas This should be the link to the Discord: https://discord.gg/4TtgJdTGbg 1mo
PuddleJumper @IriDas Let me know if you have any issues. When you join you won't be able to see much, I have to allow you access 1mo
IriDas @PuddleJumper Thanks. I‘ll try to log in today. 1mo

#HauntedShelf #ScreamTeam

Book Scavenger Hunt!
Find books that match the prompts. They can be from your own collection, from a book shop or library, or from your e-book archive

They are open to interpretation. For example ‘Orange‘ could mean an orange cover, the word orange, or the fruit orange.

15pts per cover found with a maximum of 465pts to earn. Post throughout October.

MsRadioSilence Question: can one book count for multiple words? Or is it one word per book? 1mo
ImperfectCJ @MsRadioSilence I believe that one book can count for multiple words. What do you think, @PuddleJumper ? 1mo
PuddleJumper @ImperfectCJ @MsRadioSilence Yeah, you can get multiple words from a book 1mo
