Amanda’s Comments (group member since Mar 13, 2022)

Amanda’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

That one looked good to me as well so I'll sign up as your backup! (And if you need anything from me just let me know :) )

I'll volunteer as a back up for District 12

I see Beth volunteered! I'll volunteer as backup and Beth if you get chosen we can try to come up with some together if you want

I was thinking of reading it but coming up with DQs intimidates me...I'll sign up though so we have someone in the running but if anyone else is reading it please help me lol

RE BOM, from Mods "Within a month of the start date. BOM tab has the stop dates for them"

So The Malevolent Seven- Start: 16 May--End: 16 June
Salt & Broom-Start: 25 May--End: 25 June

As far as mini, we don't have any info yet, but are (I think just assuming) at some point we will have additional challenges known as "minis" thrown at us. We will keep everything updated as we get more information!

I actually think you can participate any time in the challenge! But the BOMS start this month on the 16th and 25th anyway to accommodate the challenge, so if it is a month, it would be a month from that moment. I'll try to verify :)

Like, RAB published in April and ..."

We don't really know either! So far I think that the only constraints are going to be food/weapons/shelter/defense, and then more will be thrown at us

So sorry Insiyah, definitely take the time with your family

You know what, I’m rereading the answer and think I’m wrong and they may just ask for specific color covers later so carry on lol

Beth, just a heads up, it’s color cover (>50%) not color on cover! They clarified this in the captains group.

Ok, so shall.i just put all info on SS and then you just change to a link ??"

That works for me, so you don't have to double up! Unless it makes it harder for anyone else, but I usually know what book you're talking about so can find the link

My husband is going to be very excited. These are some of the only books he's ever read and I haven't yet but he has told me to for forever

Hunger Game Buddy Reads

Informal buddy reads will be held for the original trilogy of the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. One informal buddy read for each month of the challenge.

Informal buddy reads means there will not be formal discussion questions as with our groups BOMs.

However, in order to earn the 20 points for participation, players need to post at least 3 posts that provide a reasonable contribution to the discussion of the book. You do not need to provide a school worthy book report, but the posts need to be more than "Katniss is awesome" or "I love this book" to count for participation points.

The Buddy Reads for each book will run as follows:
The Hunger Games: May 15th to June 15th
Catching Fire: June 15th to July 15th
Mockingjay: July 15th to August 15th

Janine I can link your books for you when I'm checking your shelf

Woohoo! 🎉 I still remember the stress of SATs lol

Hello team!!

I'm Amanda, I'm originally from California but have called Michigan my home for 11 years now (WOAH). I'm a lawyer, but not the type that goes to court ever so most of my day is spent looking at documents and listening to audiobooks. I have an 8.5 month old, a husband, and two dogs (one is also a dachshund Caly), so a very full house!

Like Lisa (and the rest of our crew) I'm a challenge addict! I'm currently in 13 (so now I need to know what Lisa is doing without me lol). I also mod (for the group Caly used to Mod for lol) and launched my first challenge last month. I mostly read MM Romance, but occasionally also pick up a suspense/thriller or whatever my non romance book club is reading.
