I usually read 10 books a month, but I signed up as casual because I didn't want to have to press to read more than my normal...do I have to move up to serious?

[Cuz, I seem to whipping through my books and I've finished 2 + novella already started since 9/1.]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's up to you, you can switch if you want, or stay where you are ☺ Just let me know ☺

[Prasoon]

In for fun.. :)

[❤ Aly ❤]

Hey Sarah, I was wondering why I didn't receive any points for my buddy read. Maybe I misread it, but I thought that as long as it was within the group we would receive the points.

Thank you!

[Anna]

I'm about to start reading Little Women for this challenge. My edition has 502 pages, but I can't find an edition with more than 450 pages on Goodreads. Should I just note how many pages were in my edition when I post the review?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you can find it on amazon or world cat, or if you can take a picture of the last page and post it then you can use it ☺

[Noella]

I can't help but rant about my two missing members: why join serious (8+ books plus)? No sign of a book read/review after a week and a half in the challenge? >_<

[❤ Aly ❤]

@ Noella. I don't get that.. Unless they are reading a large book or something. I'm on a fun team and I have already read two books.

[Berit☀️✨]

I feel your pain, I've been there! It's kind of a bummer, but then you get on a team like I'm on this month, and everybody is super motivated, so I guess it evens out :-)

I've only ever been on teams where very few people check in. I'm glad we got the team we did this month though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I need to go through the list and cut some people who don't seem to be participating, I just haven't had time this week. I have the figures for adjusting the scores based on the number of books people in each team have read this year ☺

My thoughts too.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay guys, I've messaged everybody in serious teams who hasn't posted a review yet. They have 48 hours to respond, or I'll remove them from the teams. I will then adjust points accordingly.

Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit busy ☺

[Tati]

The gaps are crazy!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They really are!

[Marla]

To straighten out the formatting, use:
[less than]pre[greater than] and
[less than]/pre[greater than]

It was driving me crazy, but I didn't want to complain. :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have got no idea what that means! It does look much better though!

[Marla]

LOL, it's the html codes
[less than] = <
pre = pre
[greater than] = >
command for before the table
and add the \ for the end command


If I use the actual symbols, you can't see them

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You might have to email me the html so that i can work out what you mean ☺

[Marla]

Ummm...you know the html for bold, right? b inside < and >,

well use pre instead of b and it puts you in "what you see is what you get" formatting

[Noella]

@Marla Oh wow! That's handy :)

Are you no longer posting the leaderboard for the fun teams?
