I'm loving watching the leaderboard switch every day, it's very fun! Especially because I'm not in one of the top teams,, So it's just fun and not stressful ;-) good luck all!!!

[Tati]

It's a mad scramble for power LOL

I think those changes happens because the teams are having their boxes totaled at different moments (whenever there are 7 boxes to be totaled). I'll likely have 7 boxes to be totaled by the end of the day, so I'd expect that leaderboard to change again

[Heather]

Lol since I'm in the hospital it will definitely change... 622 page book will be finished!

Can I count a DNF book review for a box? And using only the number of pages I read???

Sorry, If you didn't finish it you can't get a box. :(

[Heather]

Do Ellen Hopkins books count as full pages or as word count?

[Noella]

Wondering if anyone's GR is acting up when you view profiles, the profile pic is no longer on the left side but above the details box ?

@Heather I think it's word count because those pages would be inflated

[Amy]

@Noella, when i click on profiles the 'friends' section is to the left instead of right and the profile picture is below the details box. Weird! :)

[Noella]

Lol I hope they fix it soon !

[Abi]

Heather wrote: "Do Ellen Hopkins books count as full pages or as word count?"

You get 1 third of the maximum page count. :)

Snap! It's really irritating.

[Heather]

Okay! Thank you!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, we're on day 21 tomorrow, so anybody who hasn't posted a review on their teams review thread, or who hasn't contacted me to tell me about a problem will be removed from their team on the 22nd. This is to give teams a fair chance.

If you are unable to participate - please let me know.
If you think you are going to be reading less than 8 books this month and would like to switch to a 'just-for-fun' team, please let me know.
Once we know how the teams stand, we will be able to implement points adjusting if necessary to even up the teams.

Thanks ☺

[Heather]

Taking me longer than expected to read but I'm definitely going to continue reading! #TEAMBEASTMODE

[Connie]

let's go team black!!

[Danielle ♥]

GO TEAM YELLOW!!!!!!!!

I haven't heard from anyone regarding those people who haven't posted reviews yet. At the moment the following people will be removed from their teams in 20 hours unless I do hear from them -
Madi - Team Blue
Bri - Team Silver
Princess Butterfly - Team Pink

Thank you!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hey guys, just to let you know that people who have not submitted reviews so far have been removed from their teams, if they wish to rejoin, they just need to let me know.

As teams are a little more uneven now, points have been adjusted based on the number of books read this year so far by the members of each team (based on numbers noted on june 28th). This has moved things around a little bit.

Everybody with 6 or more boxes has had their boxes converted to points.

I can confirm that from boxes totalled TODAY (the last 9 ish hours) the gold star has been hit TWICE. But BE WARNED a bomb has also been hit twice!!

[Berit☀️✨]

Question, can a just for fun team win? I'm confused by that :-)

[Tati]

It's times like these that make me wish I wasn't so bad with numbers...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

At this point, the gold star could probably be worked out with a little bit of organisation, and not too much maths.

I think there were 15 boxes which were chosen twice today, so the gold star is in one of them, which should narrow it down, especially if teams already have their own ideas about where it could be...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Berit wrote: "Question, can a just for fun team win? I'm confused by that :-)"

In theory - no, but as it stands, with points adjusted to keep things a bit fairer, it looks like they might ☺

[Tati]

I guess they've been picking the right boxes :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It could be as simple as that ☺ I think you had some bad luck with a certain box earlier today!

[Tati]

Yeah, guess my age was misleading LOL

[Berit☀️✨]

So what is the difference? I thought you played serious if you read over eight books A month and you played just for fun if you read less than that, I'm seriously confused :-)

[Courtney]

So can I still use Unite Me for this challenge even if I have already read Destroy Me? If I did my math right the book is about 103 pages with just Fracture Me and Juliette's Journal.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Courtney wrote: "So can I still use Unite Me for this challenge even if I have already read Destroy Me? If I did my math right the book is about 103 pages with just Fracture Me and Juliette's Journal."

That's fine ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm afraid I haven't gotten current scores up today because I haven't had time to go through all the threads.

If anybody has an idea what the gold star box is, and wants to claim that box without anybody else knowing which box it is... message me with the box you want to use, and then just write #X for the box number when you post your reviews. Once I know which box you're using I can work it out from that ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

aww we dropped. Also I think blue has a number missing? It only has 59.0 points.

[Connie]

Team black I'm proud of you all! Doing amazing for a just for fun team!! Keep up the work while I'm away ☺️

[Berit☀️✨]

All those top teams are super close! It's kind of nice to be on the outside of that, I can just read for pleasure, and have none of the stress, good luck to all of you!!! I remember some sleepless nights :-) i'm cheering for all of those who have never won, I feel your pain, I'm in the same boat :-) so to those of you, I'm sending positive Reading vibes!!!

[Rachel]

Thank you Berit! I'm in that boat too! But I'm team Yellow right now so maybe that might change! We're second right now :D we need to be on a team again soon!

[Berit☀️✨]

Rachel, agreed, but I think I'm bad luck, I've been on the second-place team I think three or four times :-) but I hope this is your time!
