Can every member of this team please comment to say you are ready before June 1st - and start planning ☺

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm ready! And I'm excited, you all are some of my favorite people around here :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

☺

[Kina]

I'm ready.

How cool is it that we are team A, and 3 of us are on the PPL series buddy read!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

☺

[Berit☀️✨]

LOL! I didn't even think about that :-)

[Christina]

Ready! I'm up to PLL2 if that counts haha

[Christina]

Shall we come up with a name?
Minions? (movie out soon!) :P

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm good with whatever. And if you can completely explain to me what minions are, all I know is I bought mac & cheese minions, cookie minions, and I'm still not quite sure what they are.

[Christina]

Berit
Have you not watched despicable me? :o
It's the yellow banana shaped creatures haha

[Christina]

We should start planning soon hehe
I know I have a buddy read with berit for miss mayhem and nikinnia for boundless so we can work out what descriptions to tick off for those :)

[Berit☀️✨]

I asked my kids the same question, haven't watched that movie. So, they are going to have their own movie? Definitely we should start planning, how many categories total are there? Does it benefit us in all categories if 4 people read from that category?

[Kina]

Haha. Yes Christina that does count. I didn't realize you were reading PPL too.

[Kina]

Boundless can be used for read a book starting with a teammate's initial- "B" for Berit or I think it can count for fantasy.

Miss Mayhem- Read a book with flowers on the cover( it has flower petals on the cover) or read a book with a friend.
Either can be used for read 800+ pages.

[Kina]

Here's a list from June Buddy read thread:

1. My Heart and Other Black Holes- B, A, T
2. Alienated- flowers on cover, starts with "A"
3. Hobbit- Fantasy, set in past
4. An Abundance of Katherines- starts with "A"
5. Fallen- trees or romance
6. This Lullaby- "Sarah" or romance
7. Twenty Boy Summer- "Sarah"
8. Anna and the French Kiss- teammates initial "A" or starts with "A" or romance
9. The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden- rain/water on cover, romance, or teammates initial "C"
10. World After- something that flies(bat on cover)

[Berit☀️✨]

Definitely going to read #9 and 10

[Berit☀️✨]

Could possibly read 4,5,6,&7

[Christina]

I'll be doing alienated so I can do that for A and miss mayhem for flowers

Shall we set up a first come first serve sign up for the descriptions? Bonus points for part completion

[Christina]

Hmm I guess time zones may affect that idea. Ideally we should be able to read whatever we want and fit it in a description rather than pick a book based on the description if you get what I mean :p

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm almost done with my book, after that I will go over the list, I'm good with whatever, but what takes priority, that is what I need to figure out. Basically where do we get the bonus points.

[Berit☀️✨]

I think you are the only one not in the US

[Kina]

I think 4 members can do the same description.

[Berit☀️✨]

And I think we get bonus points if we do that, correct?

[Christina]

Oh I thought we had to complete all the description in a part to get bonus points! I'm confused now haha

[Christina]

And I'm unsure of whether we need to complete the parts in order. It looks like anything goes

[Kina]

We can get Sarah to clear it up for us. I can definitely do 1, 6, and 8. I'm gonna go through my scribd app and see what other books are there that fit the description.

[Berit☀️✨]

I don't believe order matters, and now I am more confused ;-) i'm going to go reread everything.

[Berit☀️✨]

Christina you are correct, we get bonus points for completing each part of which there are 4 I think if I counted correctly there are 39 total descriptions including the letters at the end. Some of those we are actually going to have to find a specific book like a book published in 1995 for example. Just an idea maybe we can go through the first week and see what is covered, and then assign books or pick what books we are willing to read, to fit what needs to be fit, does that make sense?

[Kina]

Makes sense to me. :)

[Christina]

Yep we will learn more as we go along :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Basically you can't read a book that fits the same category more than once, so we need to avoid that.

[Christina]

I'm off to pick up my copy of miss mayhem from the library! :) when can you start berit?

[Christina]

Ok hopefully there's enough other descriptions to keep us busy to avoid doing a description twice!

[Christina]

Will you girls be setting up shelves with your june tbr? Just to get a rough idea of what you will be reading and perhaps easier to coordinate when the time comes

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Basically the idea is that you can complete all the descriptions up to 4 times (as if there were 4 people playing the game). If you complete all the descriptions for one of the sections once (parts 1 or 2 or 3 or 4) then you will get a bonus for that. If the descriptions are completed 4 times, then you will get 4 bonuses. If say 5 of the descriptions are completed and the others aren't, then there will be no bonus, even if each of the 5 descriptions are completed by 4 people each.

Thus, the idea is to complete all of the descriptions in a section, at which point you will receive a bonus. And if you are able to, you would then start completing the descriptions again for a second bonus.

Does that make sense?

[Christina]

Yes. That makes more sense now!
How many bonus points is it ? ;)

Edit: Oh, don't worry. Just saw in the signup thread!

[Kina]

Yes. I understand now. Thanks!

[Jackie]

Let's do this!

[Berit☀️✨]

So the primary goal is to complete all descriptions, let's try it at least twice!

[Christina]

Yes I think we can do 70 among us :)
I might be taking it a little easier next month

[Jackie]

Are we just reading books and then seeing where they fit? Also, if any books I read fit a description as having something on the cover, could someone tell me as I can't see?

[Kina]

Jackie I'm going to look through your list tomorrow and see what you have there. Also I will look on scribd to see what books fit the descriptions. Maybe we can buddy read a few books from there for the extra points.

[Christina]

I've created a junanji shelf with books I've committed to read.

@Jackie
Sure. That's what team mates are for ;)

[Berit☀️✨]

Good idea guys! I'm going to check out your shelves :-)

[Kina]

Great idea Christina. I will make one as well. I think we should try to do quite a few buddy reads since 4 members can complete a task. That should help us alot

[Kina]

Do you guys want to work on completing the 1st part 1st, then 2nd, 3rd, and 4th? then restart

Another idea is to break into teams and half does part 1 while the other half does part 2, then the teams switch. After that we would do the same with parts 3 and 4.

[Jackie]

I think we should focus on completing part one first and then the rest of the parts.

[Jackie]

I will definitely read my life next door if anyone wants to join me.

[Jackie]

Also, we get one point for the book, one point for a buddy read, right?

[Berit☀️✨]

How many descriptions in the first part? How many in total? And how many books is everyone planning on reading next month, I'm going to say 20.
