That must suck Heather. :(

[Jackie]

I think I'm bad luck as well. :)

[Berit☀️✨]

LOL! Jackie we've always been on the same team, so it's one of us ;-)

[Rachel]

Thanks Berit! Yeah I think I hold bad luck too, never mind though, winning would be great but I just like reading as part of a team, it makes it a lot of fun!

[Berit☀️✨]

Agreed! Teams definitely make it a lot more fun!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Bit of movement at the top!

So, come on guys, surely someone thinks they know where the gold star is????

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hey guys, if any of you have loads of reviews to post could you please do so as soon as possible! I really don't want people posting multiple reviews on the last day as Abbie and I are going to be busy with the MMC, and spending all day on August 1st counting last minute reviews is going to decrease the amount of time we have to sort out the non-reading challenge, hangman challenge etc.

Thanks, and Good luck everybody! ☺

[Berit☀️✨]

Good luck to all the top teams!!! It's rough, I've lost this challenge on the last day twice :-(

I'm going crazy trying to figure out this gold star box, I can only imagine how you all are doing ;-) once again GOOD LUCK!!!

Rachel, I don't even know what team you are on, but good luck girl! I'm cheering for you!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I really can't believe that nobody has figured out where it is. From the clues given it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down to 2 boxes, and with a little work you could probably guess which of those two it is ☺

I though I found it but I think it and another I found are only 4 point boxes. I didn't really read enough this month to be able to have my guesses confirmed anyway. >.>

[Berit☀️✨]

Believe me I've tried, it just gives me a headache, although I think I've narrowed it down a bit, Plus I think I might be missing a clue, or I just don't have a clue ;-)

I had to get my MOM to help. O.O That was how curious I was to find the golden box. lol. >.<

[Jackie]

Clues given? Where/when?

[Berit☀️✨]

Jackie the only clue I remember is a couple days of go, she said there were 15 numbers total twice and two of those or the Goldstar, I think, I tried going through every buddies reviews and I got overwhelmed and confused, and honestly gave up! It is a huge pain on my phone, because I have to keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The original clues were that we told you that the gold star hadn't been hit yet, which eliminated 90 of the boxes.

[Berit☀️✨]

LOL! As if I was keeping track of that ;-) my bad! Can't believe it took us all over 90 tries to get that box :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Really sorry guys, I don't have time to finish the counts because it's getting really late here, so we only have the top 5 today....

Yay! Way to go Team Black!!

[Berit☀️✨]

So if I just put a X do I get the gold Star box ;-) LOL!

[Connie]

LETS GO TEAM BLACK LETS GO <3

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Can I please ask everybody to get your reviews in as soon as possible! Abbie and I need to be able to wrap these challenges up as quickly as possible on August 1st in order to get the MMC running smoothly.


We ask that people do not post more than 3 reviews (or 1000 pages if your books are short) on the 30th & 31st. If you post more than this, you will not get full points for the extra books. Please take this into consideration, and get your books that you have already read posted in the next 48 hours.


If you are taking part in Hangman and have not signed into your team you need to do this in the next 24 hours. People who have not signed into their teams by this time tomorrow, will be removed from their team, and things will be rearranged.


Thank you!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

[Berit☀️✨]

Fabulous rule Sarah! I can do all my reviews on my phone, honestly you all can as well! I'm only saying this because last month somebody read over 2000 pages on the last day, and another month somebody posted 33 reviews on the last day, and my team who both months worked very very hard, lost, and it's kind of a bummer! Sorry if this comes across rude, but I'm just saying you don't want this to happen to you ;-)

[Jackie]

Another idea would be to tell Sarah which books you have read and have her post them on your behalf. Or, if you have a shelf, you can put the books on there and tell her they are on yourshelf.

[Courtney]

Berit I don't think that was rude at all. I do all my over the phone as well, granted it is a little bit more time consuming but at least they get posted in an orderly fashion.

[Heather]

I also do mine over the phone and find it a lot easier!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Kathryn, I'll PM you ☺

[Tati]

I've got a question: will there still be solo winners? I know the solo challenge ended up not happening, but will all of the team players be ranked individually?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes ☺

[Tati]

I'm curious to see that individual leaderboard

[Tati]

Is it 3 reviews/1000 pages for the two days?

[Reading Rediscovered]

I've been reading & posting all month, but I also have plans to read a lot these last few days as I can't do a lot around my house - I pinched a nerve in my neck so about all I can do is read. Hopefully I won't get dinged for posting a lot if I'm legitimately reading a lot in these last days.
PS...I'm Team Silver, so we're in 2nd last place.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Tati wrote: "Is it 3 reviews/1000 pages for the two days?"

Each day, so 6 reviews / 2000 pages over the two days ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine. If you keep on top of them it shouldn't be a problem. If you read 6000 pages in a day you will get dinged though ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi guys, I've counted as many reviews as I can, but it's just too late here to do the rest. I'll post the teams that I've counted, but I'll have to catch up with the others tomorrow ☺

[[deleted user]]

So I can only 3 reviews or 1000 pages today? What if my 3 reviews are just over 1000 pages? Will I get dinged?

[Tati]

I'm wondering that, too. I'm pushing to post a third review, but my page count will go over 1,000

[Sharon]

The rule said no more than 3 reviews (or 1000 pages if your books are short). So, It's either 3 reviews or 1000 pages.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sorry guys, didn't see these questions yesterday. The idea was that you not post more than 3 reviews, or 1000 pages if the books you were reading were short. So you could post 3 reviews for books which were 800 pages, as it would still only be 3 reviews. Any reviews after that you would get dinged on, so you'd have got the points, but not the pages for the books. It's taking me a while to get through all the reviews, which means Abbie is having to handle hangman on her own for a while. The idea was to post reviews earlier so that there wouldn't be so many to count today.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If anyone has any more reviews that they wanted to post but weren't able to because I didn't answer this question please message me ASAP and I will reopen review threads for you ☺
