I might try and switch Sarah. ^-^

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, that's great ☺ You can switch to Team Earthsea - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and LainaBelle will take your place in Team Westeros ☺

[Jackie]

I will make the switch.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Jackie ☺

READY! (Gosh! I'm so sorry that I just replied now!!)

I don't know if it's been asked before, but can a book be used for 2 resolutions?

[Tia]

If your resolution is to clear your review pile, is that basically rereading books you need to review and then reviewing them?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can only claim points for each book once, even if it fits more than one resolution ☺

[Drishti]

Sarah, does it mean that if I read one book and it fits two resolutions, then I'll get only one point?

[Berit☀️✨]

You only get a point for book or BR, I think we could all fit our books into multiple resolutions, and it would just be a free-for-all!

[Berit☀️✨]

There aren't any ridiculous questions! You can use anybody's resolution :-)
I'm only answering because I posted while you were posting, :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Berit ☺

[Tiffany]

silly question probably but you know the points for buddy reads is taht buddy reads with your team mate or any buddy read you do

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Any buddy which takes place in this group counts, it doesn't have to be with a team mate ☺

It means reading books you've been given for the purpose of reviewing. (You can get these from Netgalley, Edelweiss, the author, through our group, ect)

Any buddy reads taken place in this group. It doesn't have to be with your teammates.

I know this is more than unlikely but is it too late to resign from the January challenge? A lot came up in my life right now. I am still going to keep my word on the buddy book read on the eighth though.

Is it too late to join??? I didnt notice this challenge! :(

[[deleted user]]

Wait, never mind.

Okay, I'll message her again ☺

[Noella]

Is middle grade or YA? I saw it got counted when it's under 150 pages but this book is really short...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's middle grade really, but there is an edition with 180 pages ☺

Ahh I see

[Madison]

Hi I can't find my page for team Pern and I was also wondering where I make my resolutions

[Jackie]

Team Pern: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Mei]

One of our group resolutions is "read hyped up/popular books in the community".

Can this be subjective or does the book have to be checked to identify?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That resolution will need to be amended because its too non-specific im afraid. Maybe it could be changed to something else?

[Tati]

Maybe change it to books with more than 10,000 ratings or something?

[Mei]

I like Tati's suggestion, but it's not really my resolution. I'd probably just consult with my team.

Thank you Sarah!

[Reading Rediscovered]

I'll join - serious please.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have two spaces in serious, would you like to join Team Adarlan, or Team Eretz?

[Brooke]

is melanie being replaced for team narnia?! or is our score going to be compensated

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Points will be adjusted closer to the end of the challenge ☺

Hi, I'm from Discworld and we haven't heard from Amy yet but I don't know which Amy is on our team...

[Heather]

How many bonus points could we get for Les Miserables because the hardcover edition is over 1,000 pages?
