Group Stats Challenge

[Jalyn]

You don't have to sign up! Just post your books :)

[Jalyn]

There isn't much time left to enter your February books! Please make sure your reviews have a few specific details in them so that I know you read the book! Thanks :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I just finished a book that I have been reading since february 20th, but today is march 1st - should I put it on the february thread or the march thread?

[Jalyn]

March thread please! :)

[Greta]

I should add that if people read paranormal books this month they can also be added to the Pisces Zodiac challenge. All are welcome :)

[Kate]

I have a question. I know rereads don't count for the zodiac challenges, but do they count for this one? I've been doing a lot of rereading this year since I'm just now getting into leaving reviews.

[Rachmi]

I didn't join for February but want to join for this month, can I still in?

yes, you can join at any time :)

Kaitlin, I know that you asked this question months ago (no idea how I missed it!), but the answer to that is yes. We will take anything that is a book you read (in the month you are posting it) as long as you follow the rules on how to post your books. This challenge is for tallying up EVERYTHING we read as a group to see what it is we're reading, so pretty much everything counts :)

[Jalyn]

THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE PUT ON HOLD FOR THE MONTH OF JULY. WE HAVE SO MUCH GOING ON WITH OUR MEGA MONTH CHALLENGE THAT WE CAN'T FIT MUCH ELSE IN. GROUP STATS WILL RESUME IN AUGUST. THANKS!

[Kate]

Thanks, Jalyn, for answering my question. Fortunately, I already knew the answer due to the challenge rules that had been posted after that point.

[Kate]

I have another question, though. Do books under 100 pages count as half points for this challenge? I know they're not accepted for other ones, but it still says in the rules that you accept them for the stats.

I submitted two shorter books I read in June, so I'm wondering if I'll have to remove them.

[Jalyn]

Yes, they count for this challenge and the clean your shelf challenge :)

[Kate]

Sorry about this, but I have one last question . . . (jeez, and I always thought I had a tough time asking questions).

I don't write summaries in my book reviews. I'm quite bad at it. However, I want to submit a book as a reread and that's my only option to make it count. How much of a summary are you asking for?

[Jalyn]

Here's a copy of one of my reviews so you can get an idea https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I only do brief summaries and that is fine for all of our challenges.

[Kate]

Oh, good. I believe the the summary I was working on will be good enough, then.

Thank you (again)!

[Jalyn]

You're welcome! And feel free to ask whatever questions you need :)

[Vicki]

Question: I posted a book called but now it's not there. Do you know what happened? I did post it in September. I can repost if needed. Strange.

[Jalyn]

That's odd. Go ahead and repost it. I have no idea what happened.

[Alley]

Do rereads count for this challenge? I only ask because I'm reading a book I read two years ago, since the movie's coming out in November.

[Jalyn]

Yes, rereads count for this :) We want all books that are read. The point of this challenge is to see what everyone in our group is reading, so anything goes! :)

Okay, thanks.

No problem :)

[Aarati]

i got one question though. Will the buddy read have to be in this group or will any group count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

To get the extra point for a buddy read, the buddy read has to be in this group ☺

ok thanks.

[rachel, x]

Umm, guys this is going to sound really, really stupid, but I have no idea how to put the small cover pic up with the comment. Is it okay to do it without? Ta.

[Jalyn]

To add the picture, click on "add book/author" right above the comment box. Type in the name of the book that you're looking for and then click "cover" at the bottom and then "search". Just click "add" on the book that you want to add and the picture will be in your post :)

[rachel, x]

@Jalyn Thanks! I'll do that now, thankyou! :)

[Jalyn]

You're welcome :)

[rachel, x]

It is all done now! :)

[Jalyn]

Looks good! :)

Can you move this over to the September thread please? http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

[Jalyn]

THIS CHALLENGE WILL BE PUT ON HOLD FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO WITH THE OCTOBERFEST CHALLENGE THAT I WON'T HAVE THE TIME TO MODERATE THIS CHALLENG TOO. GROUP STATS WILL RESUME IN NOVEMBER. THANKS!

[Tati]

Is this challenge coming back in November?

[Jalyn]

Yes. I just need to create the header and thread. I've been working 12 hour days to get our bookstore open so I haven't had time for much of anything. I'll get to it as soon as I can, but it might not be until Tuesday.You'll be able to add anany books that you already finished in November once it's up. Sorry for the delay!

[Tati]

Oh, I thought that the bookstore had already opened. It's fine, do it in your own time, I didn't want to pressure you :)

[rachel, x]

Guys, did the challenge ever come back in November? I couldn't find the thread! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We don't have a thread as Jalyn never got around to setting one up. I'm not sure what she's going to do about it as she's not going to be around much until after christmas now. I'l ask her and see what she says.

[rachel, x]

@Sarah Awesome. Thanks!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hey everyone, I've emailed Jalyn but she hasn't answered. I know she's really busy with work at the moment so I think we're going to have to assume that the group stats challenge won't be back this year :(
Thanks to everyone who participated, and hopefully we will have some new challenges for you in the new year ☺
