Aneesa wrote: "I will update my final list tomorrow. Good start everyone, well done and good luck to everyone! :)"When you get the chance, can you add in that I'll be reading
(starting tomorrow) for "Starts with a teammate's initials" please? (obviously it'll count for your name, Aneesa.)
Thanks Elizabeth. I added your book. You play such a huge part to the success of this team! :)
Kate wrote: "Thanks Elizabeth. I added your book. You play such a huge part to the success of this team! :)"Thanks so much! :)
Has this challenge started yet? and can we read the same book the other person is reading ?
Gayatri wrote: "Has this challenge started yet? and can we read the same book the other person is reading ?"Yes, this starts today. Have you decided books you want to read yet? Let me know so I can put them here.
I asked Sarah if we can buddy read with a team mate and still get the points. She said yes, and we can even use the same book for the same description. So it'll be (x2). Still, it would be best if we could fill those that have not yet been taken. :)

Don't we have to read one description four times
Kate I have found some, I believe the only ones left is the car and 1995 one

Gayatri wrote: "Not a whole list but I look at books as the descriptions come"Ah cool, your suggestion was a good idea. We should do buddy reads as much as we can
You were planning to read Thirteen Reasons Why right?Why not make a thread and I'll put in my comments about my the book so we can discuss the book and get the points for the buddy read
@Aneesa I'm reading throne of glass with someone as well, want to join us for that???
@Elizabeth, sure I would love to. When is it?
So we only have two categories left, any volunteers? Or should we simply read as we go along?
Aneesa wrote: "@Elizabeth, sure I would love to. When is it?"We're going to start it the 9th. Here's the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I can use
for a book published in 1995
@Gayatri, Sarah has made the thread. When do you want to start it?
@Aneesa I'm fine with whenever since I have finished the book. Its up to you@Kate I'm sorry could you remove Fallen too Far. I got another book in the same category and I would probably finish it faster. :)
hey guys just wondering if one of us completes a description, the other person can read a book in the same description right? And the points still count

Sorry guys, I apologise for my lack of reading. Something came up so got busy with that. I should be back to reading more books! :) Again, sorry!
Need to catch up with my reading as well. It was my birthday this last Friday so it has been a busy week. :(
I have changed my "26 years into past or future" book from Borderliners to
; I will begin reading it tomorrow!
So I've read all the books that I originally signed up for, so from here I'm just going to be filling up decriptions that haven't been completed yet :)
