Have you tried other language editions of your books?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I was often surprised at the variety of letters I found. :/

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

For example from a quick glance at your to read shelf there is an edition of Memoirs of a Geisha that starts with 'Y'. I believe it counts since it's in English letters. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

They are hard though. :/

[Jackie]

I haven't had time, and my books are determined by other challenges. Also, I meant more broadly, not just for me. I need to look for my team I think.:( I know I'd probably find some, I just meant that they seem harder than the vowels.:) Thanks though, I wasn't clear on what I meant.

They are harder than vowels! I was just very lucky to find some that worked for me. At least they all only need one or two books so altogether you only need 4 books.

[Meaghan]

Hey Sarah! Can I use for M?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can use that for 't' or 's' but not M, it needs to be the title rather than the series name.

[Beatrice]

Hi Sarah! can I count I finished it today. Can I deduct the 50% on the pages since I've started it last month?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Books have to be started in March unfortunately, we're not counting pages so I can't jsut give you the pages either ☹

Oh I see.. Thank you Sarah! :)

[Victoria]

Sarah- I was wondering if I could switch out one of my review from a letter to a blank or is it once you've chosen you're stuck with it type of thing?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can switch it if you want ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just let me know on the review thread ☺

[Ashley W]

Is it possible to move to a Fun Team? I'm on medium right now but it doesn't look like I'm going to have as much reading time as I thought.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can switch to Team M. ☺

Would team J get a new member if she leaves Sarah?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll message her, I can only replace people if we have people who want to switch or sign up.

I'll only be able to replace her if someone new wants to sign up, or someone wants to switch to medium ☺

KK. So we'll just get points adjusted then?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think we're going to have to do points adjusting for this challenge because with people dropping out the teams will be uneven.

KK. TY! :)

[Eunique]

Hey, can I join a medium group

[Lindsey]

Hi! Is it too late to join a serious team? :)

[Rachel]

Did we have any dropouts for me to swap to a serious team? If not that's ok :)

I think we're going to be adjusting points because teams are a bit uneven, so you can join Team C. ☺

Thank you Sarah :)

[prag ♻]

Is there any chance I can restart ? I started reading in feb, but my buddy bailed on me and I hadn't gotten too far so I thought I'd read it later.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine ☺

[Katherine]

If I read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix does it count as an H or O book?

[Jackie]

It would be H

[Dana]

I think Bianca in Team I is a no show. My poor team has had so many people leaving.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll message her. I think we're going to have to adjust points with the way things stand at the moment though.

Would the book work for F, or is it too short?
