Emily’s comments from the Around the Year in 52 Books group.

Hey Louise, you can join Team Snowflakes!

I have hidden it for now, as we have requested all plans get moved to the GR planning threads to make way for the 2024 tabs coming soon. I will put up a new (blank) rejects tab when we get closer to 2024 for people to track their rejects challenges on.

If you didn't get a chance to copy over your rejects plan to a thread, I can reopen the tab for a bit so you can copy it over.

Perfect! How exciting!

I've started Yours Truly on audio, but it's 11 hours long and my week ahead doesn't give much time for listening so it may end up being a gold level book.

I'm also reading A Curse So Dark and Lonely, which is 500 pages but should go quickly. Aiming for silver for that one!

I just grabbed A Curse So Dark and Lonely, which features a character who has cerebral palsy. I will hopefully get through it pretty quickly, though if I don't, it also fits a couple in the silver level.

Hi John! Welcome! We started our group as an alternative to Popsugar, so you are in the right place.

Welcome Lauren!

Welcome Mia! We are pretty laid back so feel free to tackle the challenge however works for you!

Hey Edie! You can join Team Gingerbread!

Technically, that's correct. You'd need to finish the entire tier, including candy canes, before moving on to the next tier.

However, there's nothing saying you can't stop a few pages short and wait until your team finishes the first tier before finishing your book to count it for the second tier.

Good morning, team! I have 100 pages to go on my print novel, but I also have 15 research papers to grade. So we will see if I can get it finished today. I'll probably put it under color of your favorite app, since we have the least options for that prompt.

Hey Rachel, you can join Team Eggnog!

You would only include what pages/audio you've read during the challenge period!

Maryam and Caitie, you can join Team Twinkle Lights!

I noticed that prompt didn't have any options so I grabbed Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, which was only 3 hours on audio! Finished it quickly

Hi Emily! Our general rule is that a book must have at least 100 pages to go (or 100 minutes of audio) left for it to count. However, we only worry about that for certain challenges (the read-a-thons and the Summer Reading Challenge) and the rest of the challenges are up to you!

Catsalive, you can join Team Snowflakes

Yes, sorry, I'll update the spelling on the teams list... my bad Ailsa!

And yes, Tanu, that will count. We generally say 100 pages or 100 minutes still to go.

Theoretically, the goal is to read and finish books for all of Bronze level, then those books are locked in and you move on to the next level. So no moving books between levels once you've completed one level - those are locked in.

However, there's nothing saying you can't save the last page of the book for when your team makes it to Silver lol. And you're always reading for pages because you'll need to collect Candy Canes to complete each level.

When you wake up on December 2 to when you go to sleep on December 10!

Meghan and Tanu, you can join Team Eggnog.
JessicaMHR and Allie, you can join Team Gingerbread.
Shelby, you're on Team Tacky Sweater.
