Book Pool Guidelines

[Sydney, Head Mod | Avid Reader | Dedicated Fangirl]

Hello everyone! So, a quick explanation of Book Pool:

This is a fun and simple reading challenge. Each person who joins must add three books to the pool. After sign-ups close at the end of the month, the participants will read books from the pool. Whoever reads the most before the end of the month, wins! (Sorry, but there's no prize...)

Example sign-up request:
I'm in! [book #1] [book #2] [book #3]

If there are any more questions, please comment below!

Question; What happens with books that you have already read?

(@Sydney: I have read all three of your books in the last 6-12 months, haha)

Lol well typically you would re-read them or just read everyone else's (including your own). Or you can ask them to change, which I would be happy do. :)

Like I said in my first post there, I'll read as many of the books in the pool that I can get hold of through the library, except FURIES. I already own a copy of I, JEDI so getting hold of it iis NOT the main problem. *wink* The main problem with that one is going to be "How many OTHER STAR WARS books am I willing to read this year?"

This also excludes any of the 12 books ALREADY in my Currently Reading list that show up in the pool before tomorrow: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I think we need a thread to track our progress.

Post it on the July 2015 thread in the Book Pool folder. That's what it's for.

OK. I changed my mind about NOT rereading FURIES. I'll post progress in the recommended thread.

Thanks.

New rule to take effect on September 2015 thread: Please limit your selections to the first or second book of a new series, unless you nominate the first three books together. This is simply so that all players will have an equal chance to complete all books in the pool. Thanks.

What, exactly, qualifes as a new series, Sydney? The Codex Alera is hardly a new series unless you mean it's new to the group?

Just curious.

[Sydney, Head Mod | Avid Reader | Dedicated Fangirl]

I meant new to the group. I'll edit my comment when I get home. If we are, for example, reading the first book in the series at the BOTM, you may add later books in the series. Or you may post the first two books one month and continue with the next one or two the following month, if you wish.

That's what I thought you meant. Thanks for the clarification.
