What do we have to do to make it official that we ticked off one of the boxes? Like I have the box "first in a series" done already, but how can I make it official to you guys?
You need to read the books in the challenge times, and then you fill out review and submit it in the review thread like this:
Description: Mods pick
Review: (Link to review)
Buddy: (Link if yes, No if not)

Ok! I am going to need one, so do you have any book you want to do?

Hi, I have a question regarding buddy reads. Do we both have to tick off the same blocks? E.g. Clockwork angel could be ticked off as paranormal for me but over 350 pages for my buddy. Just confirming, thanks :)

Can you send me a link to the review thread?
Do you have to review all the books you read for this challenge?
Linsey wrote: "What do we have to do to make it official that we ticked off one of the boxes? Like I have the box "first in a series" done already, but how can I make it official to you guys?"The challenge doesn't start until Wednesday, so only books you read after then will count.

Ok.
Can someone send me a link though to the review thread?
I'm in, I've decided to start doing challenges and this will be my first one:) great idea btw it's gonna be great:) x
@Christina, if you buddy read a book, you and your partner can tick off different boxes.@ Elizabeth, multiple POVs is when the book is told in different POVs. For example, the first chapter is narrated by one character, and the second by another one.

Christina, you can only use a book once. So if you enter it for paranormal, it can no longer be used for more than 350 pages. You have to find another book that falls under that category. :)

Getting pumped for this challenge!
Oh, you mean your partner in your buddy read? He/she is not your partner for the challenge. Participants will play individually, if that's what you mean.
Lauren wrote: "Do you have to review all the books you read for this challenge?"Lauren, the group requires you write a review for the book, it's a proof that you actually read the book. It doesn't have to be long, just a short paragraph of what the book is about, what you liked or hated, basically what you think about it. If you cannot write a review, the group also allows you to update your reading progress at least 4 times. It has to be detailed for it to count. If you've done 4 updates, then you don't have to write a review anymore. But if you write one even with updates, that's okay as well.
You don't have to read ALL books, just the amount of books that you can manage. Even one book counts. :) Hope that's cleared!
Mod
Yes you can. It doesn't matter if your buddy reader uses the book for a different square, as long as it counts for the square you want to use it for thats fine. So like you say, if your partner wants to use it for over 350 pages, and you want to use it as paranormal that is fine ☺
Mod
You need to review or make detailed updates like Mei says, its just so that we can know that you've actually read the book ☺

I would say that that is purple. Abbie with confirm though ☺
Mod
be considered?"Earthbound would count for Paranormal, or first in series, or published in 2013, or people on cover, and I think the british cover -
would possibly count for 'flower on cover' or 'purple cover'.You could only use it for 1 of those squares though not all of them.
Abbie will confirm ☺

I should be able to fit it in whenever you want to read it. I think it's pretty short ☺

Yes, that will count. :)
Sarah wrote: "Thanks to Mei, Tatiana, Alley, and Cheyenne for answering questions ☺ Abbie and I are obviously a few hours ahead of you guys ☺"Thank you all! :)
@Sarah, yes, just look at the description. It's only a little bit more than 100 pages. I think I can read it on January 10th because I want to join Blood Red Road buddy read on 13th
Mod
If I have a book for purple cover but the dust jacket isnt purple but the actual book is would that count?
Mod
Sarah wrote: "Abbie will be back online later Heather ☺"Thats fine I just wanted to post it here so she could see it!
Mod

As we're talking about purple covers, would this one count?
