NP. ^-^

[Katherine]

Do you know what time the teams will be up? I don't know if I should check in the morning or if I'll be in school.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I was just re-reading the rules and I'm a bit confused about this one:

Blanks are freebies, and can be used for any letter, they will be awarded 1 point each.

Does that mean that the blank tiles, regardless of what letter you are using it for are only worth one point?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Sorry. One other clarification. If I were to BR a Q book over 500 pages. Would I get 12 points?

[Irene]

Excited to find out what team I'm on! :D

Yes, 10 points for the Q, and 2 points for the buddy read ☺

Yay can't wait!!

[Madelyn]

Thanks Sarah for all of your help! I am so excited for the challenge!

[Meaghan]

Yay I can't wait! Do we get points for pages read again?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

we won't be counting pages in this challenge, but we will be doing bonus points for buddy reads over 450 pages long ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Teams are now posted here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Mei]

YES! Thank you so much Sarah :D

[Meaghan]

Do we just make a new topic in the challenge category to make our team chats? :)

[Karen]

Excited already!
Hi to all on Team K. Can I bookmark 'Queen of the Tearling?'

Also, set up a Google sheet to keep track of our reading. Is this overkill?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Think this should work.

Yes ☺

[Carrie]

I'm assuming could count for Q at 100 pages?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It would ☺

[Irene]

Is this title good for K?

[Cami]

Sarah, can you change me to fun please? March is a busy month for me.

[Emma]

May I reread and for this challenge? I'm doing a series buddy read starting March 1st and it would be cool to be able to count them toward the challenge!

If I can still join. I'm in for serious please.

[phoebe]

Can I still join on a fun team? :)

[Jamie]

Can we use 'a' and 'the' as the first word or does it have to go to the next word?

I can't add you to a team right now because the serious teams are all full, but I'll pop you on hold and try and squeeze you in somewhere ☺

You can use 'a' and 'the' as 'a' and 't' ☺

[Jackie]

Sarah, will team G get a new member?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If someone else signs up they will, otherwise there's not a lot I can do.

Thank you Sarah :)

[Adriana]

Would be okay for Y?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Can I re-read ? I recently read Queen Song and now I really want to re-read it. Also I need to re-read it since I want to get Glass Sword once I get back. ^-^

[[deleted user]]

Can I switch teams from medium to serious? I thought I wasn't gonna have too much time to read but I just got time off approved:)

I can't switch you at the moment because I don't have any spaces in serious teams. If more people sign up I will swap you though.

[Gayatri]

@Sarah I need to pull out of the challenge. I just realised I am travelling too much to take part. My mom does not want me to take part in another one this month

[[deleted user]]

Sarah I know I asked to be on a serious team but I have to back out this month. Too much school work and a huge exam to prepare for.

[Edit~A]

Do we get points for finishing a line or smth like that?
