Perfect! The book I will finish today probably won't fit in the first round either
But, looking at the scores I think we have read the most books so far, so I'm sure we will get through this at least twice, fingers crossed!

[Tati]

Yeah, we're losing out in BR points

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm doing a BR now, do we get 2 points for that BR if the book is over 450 pages?

[Berit☀️✨]

When I get back from my walk, I'll try to figure out what section we are closest to finish a next, because I don't know what I'm planning to read after this book, oh never mind I do, drink and title.

[Tati]

We're closest to finishing section 2.

I'll start rings on the cover, and then what's left is

Mr or Mrs in the title
Quiet, Silent or Whisper in the title

[Tati]

We need:

Section 2:

- ring(s) on the cover (I'll be reading Something Borrowed for that)
- Quiet, Silent or Whisper in the title
- Mr or Mrs in the title

Section 3:

-Cake/food on the cover/title
Gifts/invites on the cover or title
-Wedding-themed title or 'love' in the title
- Champagne or beverage on the cover/title

Section 4:
- F
- O
- V
-R

[Jessa]

I have finished my F and M and am uploading the reviews now. And I'm only a chapter away from finishing R!

[Jessa]

Mrs* not M

[Tati]

Awesome!!

[Jessa]

One question, how does one get involved in a qualifying buddy read?

[Tati]

you go to this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

and post what you'd like to read. If someone is interested, you set up a thread and a date to read and discuss the book

Great job girls! I should definitely finish this book this afternoon, and then I will try to finish another book today, I want to read at least 29 books this month :-)

[Tati]

So, do you girls think we can finish the first round by Sunday?

[Berit☀️✨]

Let's make it a goal!
I think we can do it! But can we use my Sunday??? I'm a day behind Noella:-)

[Berit☀️✨]

I'll do food, drink, and then quiet (Soundless)

[Tati]

Okay!

@Jessa, when do you think you'll be done with the rest of your books for this round?

Tati wrote: "Hey everyone!

I've finished The Score which I don't think will fit in this round. After I'm done with my chores, I'll start SOmething Borowed, for the ring on the cover"

Ah yes I said I'd read that too! I'll start that soon, even if its for Round 2.

[Danielle ♥]

Yeah let's make it a goal and try our hardest!!! We also need to do as many buddy reads as can. ALWAYS check there first when picking out your next book!!!

[Tati]

If I bail on Something Borrowed, what can I read?

[Danielle ♥]

Tati wrote: "If I bail on Something Borrowed, what can I read?"

You can take "V" or #23 wedding themed title/"love" in title!

[Tati]

I'm on it!

[Tati]

I'll take the 'love' on the title

[Noella]

Berit wrote: "I'm doing a BR now, do we get 2 points for that BR if the book is over 450 pages?"
I only got 1 for my read over 450pg

I'm currently doing some buddy reads. I don't know if Landline would fit anywhere in the first round ?

[Tati]

Noella, I don't think we can use Landline for this round, but we've already started our second round, so, if/when you're done with it, you can post your review.

[Tati]

Just finished (for 'love' in the title)

I'm now moving to , which is a BR and can go towards transportation for the second round

[Berit☀️✨]

Nice! I'm definitely going to finish drink and title, soon, then onto food!

[Jessa]

I'm writing my review for Red Queen, which I was using for R, what else needs to be done? I can pick up a couple books for this weekend.

[Tati]

We need a book with V.

[Jessa]

I will go look on my bookshelf!

[Tati]

You can also check this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

to see what we still need to do. I don't have my spreadsheet here, so I can't tell you right now

[Tati]

We're now 6 books away from completing the first round!

[Noella]

Awesome!

[Danielle ♥]

I'll finish Soundless tonight and that will finish off Round 1 Part 2!!! :)

Danielle wrote: "I'll finish Soundless tonight and that will finish off Round 1 Part 2!!! :)"

Amazing! I'll likely finish what I'm reading now too, though that'll go for the second round. However, with how close the points are, anything helps!

[Danielle ♥]

I'm halfway done with An Ember in the Ashes where do you guys think we should put that for Round 2?

[Tati]

I'd put that under letter E

[Tati]

I'm already reading something for the man in a suit for the next round

[Danielle ♥]

Tati wrote: "I'd put that under letter E"

Great idea!! I'll put it down for "E" :) and I'm almost done with Something Borrowed too, even though that's for Round 2 too.

[Berit☀️✨]

Nice job girls!!!

[Danielle ♥]

Berit wrote: "Nice job girls!!!"

Yes great job everyone!!! I think we'll hit our goal of finishing ROUND 1 this weekend!!!

I'm halfway through Viscount Breckenridge by Stephanie Lauren's for the "V" and it should be finished tonight. I'll have the other two reviews up tonight and the "V" one up this weekend.

[Tati]

Let's take that first place back!

I've also separated my tracking posts into different posts per round. It's actually easier that way once we start getting into round 2, 3! Hope that's okay :) Here's a link to our tracking post again: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
