Amanda’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

Just so you know Amber if you fill out the SS you don't have to post a completion :) one or the other is fine! But if you want to do both that's okay as well

We're closing in on our first week and just wanted to see how everyone is doing!

How's your reading been? Any 5 stars? Any questions for me?

We currently have 22 books completed, which I think is awesome already!! There's 100 books total this round so 22% is not bad for less than a week in.

For those that are new, there will be a mini challenge mid month. We don't know anything about it now, but it'll be extra tasks we have to complete, though we can (and should!) use books for both hands and mini so we don't have to double reading. I'll be able to answer more questions later, but if there's anything I can help with now let me know :)

Here's our currently outstanding card information. (Again, I think we're in a great space though so don't stress!). This can also be seen on the "February Hands" part of our planning spreadsheet

These are perfect!

If you're ever wondering where your book went, I'm just hiding the rows when they've been placed on our hand planning :)

As many as you want is fine!

I pretty much always have an audiobook running so that really helps! And then I'm reading an ebook pretty much every time I have a break

I've finished a couple but got assigned a big project at work so haven't been around to update/check. I'll be around either tonight or tomorrow morning for sure :)

I am also terrible at it!! I'll try to keep a countdown nearby for all the big events :)

Here's the countdown to the start!

Remember for February books have to be started after the round starts.

What's everyone reading first?

@Clara, if you're looking for Slaughterhouse 5, I moved it to the Red5 spot :)

1 Week! Everybody ready? Any last minute questions I can help with?

Perfect :) I often get called Amber by people who forget my name, didn't expect me to make the mistake lol

For the color cards you’re fine to just put what you’re claiming. For everything else please put everything it works for so we can move around if needed ☺️

Got it, thanks!

Lol I was hoping everyone else would weigh in since I'm bad at colors. Let me ask in the captains group as I do think they could be borderline

Janine could you link here Off the Record, Summer Son, (and let me know how they work for card)

Also, Amber I accidentally had my name down for the WD4 for the Maid. I changed it, but let me know if you changed plans due to my mistake!

Hey team! I'm checking over everyone's color card claims so I'll let you know if I run into any issues!

Can I request that everyone either Links to the GR Book page on the SS, puts both the title and author, or links to the book here for any book they're using? I want to make sure I check the right book! For this time I'll just ask if I have questions but it would be super helpful moving forward :)

I'd say yes as well!

Hey Caipi! 30 years!? Woah what an accomplishment

Welcome Clara! Grad school is so tough, I’m in awe that you find time to read lol.

Exactly what Janine said (and also feel free to take any of my color cards as well), but also, every single book/card helps! I personally find 5, 7, and 8 hardest if you wanna start there!

My yellow 1 ended up getting vetoed in the captains group :(
