O.o Yeah I guess you are the only one with a positive GMT. I was thinking Tati was close to you but even she is -2.
I'm the closest, but I'm not close. Closest I've ever been was Germany
Well I'm in the US so I'm pretty much on your side of the globe! :)
I'm only a few hours south of Ontario. I can drive to Windsor in about half an hour. In fact, I work a mile away from the Canadian/US border, in Detroit, Michigan.

Tati wrote: "I'm the closest, but I'm not close. Closest I've ever been was Germany"My Grandparents were from Germany. I'm hoping to go there someday. How was it?
I've only ever been to Berlin, and it was winter. So it was cold and grey LOL. All I can say is, Berlin in winter is not, in my opinion, a pretty city.
US and Brazil are on my top list to visit, both are my one of favorite countries :)I don't know about Berlin, but my friend studies in Germany, and in general she's in love with that country and people :)
My mom lived in Germany for a few years, near Munich, and she says that Berlin is an ugly city, but there are several beautiful cities in Germany, like Munich, Hamburg...Any particular place in Brazil you'd like to visit?
*one of my favorite countries It's impossible to edit on phone :)
Oh yeah she lives in Hamburg maybe that's why she loves it :DHaha don't laugh at me but I fell in love with Brazil from telenovelas, and yeah so I really want to see Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo :)
I live close to São Paulo (in fact, I'm there right now, for work). Lots and lots to do and to see. Rio as well, but I still prefer São Paulo to Rio.And which novelas have you watched?
Wow, oh I literally grew up watching them, so I've watched lots and lots of them :D i don't remember their english names right but clone, belissima, favorite, the house of seven women, scorpions and lizards, america, the brazil avenue, india love story etc.
oh, all of those were good! Clone was awesome! House of seven women (Casa das Sete Mulheres, in Portuguese) is actually about Southern Brazil history.
Oh clone was perfect!! LolAnd yeah I know, that one was good too!!
I mean the cast is always amazing so they just can't be bad :D
there are some bad ones, guess their rights just don't get sold LOL
Maybe lolBy the way there is that actress Aracy Balabanian, she has an armenian heritage, when I was a kid I wanted to be her granddaughter, so I can live there too lol
You don't need to be her granddaughter to live here LOL I'm pretty sure there is an Armenian neighborhood in São Paulo
Well I was a kid :D didn't know much back then. Yeah there are many of them there :)

So far we have given out the descriptions to each team member using Random.org. But since we weren't sure if you were going to join us we haven't given any to you yet. I believe Danielle's plan was for you to start on part 4? You can check with her. Also if you want to know what everyone is reading it's posted in our team progress threads. ^-^
Welcome Ubah!! Yep, we need someone to start on Part 4, Ubah! That means finding five books to read with titles that start with J, U, M, N, and I. If it's a buddy read (in this group), it's extra points!
So girls, I want to ask you something, because our timezones are different, I asked Sarah and she said that it's up to me to start in PST or my tz, if I choose mine then it means I start sooner but have to finish sooner as well, so I wanted to ask you what to do, cause I don't know, we are a team in this after all :)
I usually run on my TZ, I find it's more comfortable for me

I'm more of a night owl so I'm up more at night. I'll probably start early too.
Ubah wrote: "How would you do a buddy read"I can try to do Unearthly and Matched with you if you like. ^-^ But typically you would go to the Wanted Buddy Reads thread and post what books you want to read and find others who want to read it as well.

Is it MUST to have a buddy read? because currently I don't have any :/

:)
Edit-A, if you want to find a buddy, there is this thread for that:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Just post what you want to buddy read and see if someone also wants to buddy read that book
Ohhh ok, I thought we had to BR within our group :) Thanks, and sorry for asking so many questions :D
If it's within our team, we get more buddy points, but that's all, you can buddy it with anyone

The format for how to do it is in there.

On our progress page i saw some really great books would it count for more points of i asked to do a buddy read with one of them. Is that how it works?
I've just thought of something. If we all finish our books early and there's still a lot of time left are we going to do it again? And how will the books be decided the second time?
We can choose ourselves or again use random.org?
