Still no spot for the serious team?
I can't believe I missed this month's sign-up >.<

I know, I COMPLETELY missed it in the email :/

[Meaghan]

I think we'll have to wait until the 1st to see who doesn't sign in. I'm still waiting on one more though

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We haven't got any spaces at the moment, I'll try and squeeze you in somewhere though.

[Abby]

Will Raspberry get a replacement for Leandra?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, I'm just waiting to see how things go over the next couple of days so that I can put people in the right teams ☺

[Karen]

Team blueberry still haven't heard from Adriana yet. I messaged her on the current team thread, but we haven't heard yet.

[Annie]

Team grape I haven't heard from anyone yet

[Ashley W]

It may be my imagination but was there a special rule about page count for classics? Also does text to speech on Kindles count? I finally upgraded to a Kindle Fire and I'm eager to use it. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We usually work out the page count for classics based on the word count at a rate of 25,000 words = 100 pages.
It's fine to use text-to-speech ☺

[Katrina G]

I'm just hoping to clarify something. We can read graphic novels for this challenge, right? But the page count will only be a small portion of it?

[Tati]

Yes, graphic novels can be read for this challenge, but the page count will only be 33% of the actual page count

[Katrina G]

Okay. Thanks Tati

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Are there any other serious or medium teams which have members who haven't checked in yet?

[Meaghan]

Connie on Team Peach hasn't checked in

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Meaghan ☺

[Berit☀️✨]

I believe this was already mentioned but Adriana on team blueberry hasn't checked in yet either.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've messaged Adriana ☺

[Tati]

also team Grape has a lot of members that haven't checked in, according to a post on this thread

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think Grape are a fun team and we don't usually chase people who sign up as just for fun.

They still don't. I'm thinking it might get dissolved since it's a fun team and they are only two members so far. :/

[Meaghan]

Connie just checked in actually! So all of Peach has checked in I believe. I just have to mark Danii and Connie as checked in

We might have to do that if they don't turn up.

[Amy]

Evanguel on team pear hasn't checked in yet Sarah either :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Amy, I'll message her ☺

She's just checked in, I think she saw my comment :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's great ☺

[Karen]

Still haven't had Adriana check in on team blueberry.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've messaged Adriana ☺

[Abby]

Raspberry is missing Xiamera.

[Amy]

Sarah, can I reread the first two book in The Mortal Instruments for this challenge please? I read them about 6 years ago so I don't have any reviews or anything up of the series. :)

That's fine ☺

Thanks Abby, I'll message her ☺

[Jamie]

Sarah, I am still working on re-reading the first few books of the Landover series by Terry Brooks. I was hoping to get to and the 3rd book this month but not sure I will be able to finish them all. Can I continue the re-read into this challenge if I don't? It has been well over 10 years since I read them and while marked as "read" on my shelf I remember next to nothing about them.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine ☺

[Irena BookDustMagic]

Sarah, Abbie,
can I read Stolen Songbird and Hidden Huntress in May.
I want to reread them because the last book, Warrior Witch is coming out in May.
It's been 2 years since I read Stolen Songbird and 1 year since I read Hidden Huntress.

[Karen]

All of Team Blueberry have now checked in :)

[Ashley W]

Can novellas count? They aren't quite 100 pages, but I thought since we're counting pages and not books that would be okay. It's a bunch of in-between the numbers type of novellas for some series. Thanks!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Books can be any length for this challenge, so novellas do count.

[prag ♻]

If I read Crossed, which I started back in April last year (I believe it's been sitting on my currently reading shelf since then) will it count as a reread because I probably just read the first chapter or so and left it? Or can I reread a book barring Crossed?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

you won't need to count it as a re-read if you didn't read it previously.

[prag ♻]

Ok, thanks:)

[Tayane]

Sarah, can I count for the challenge the number of pages I'll read in May for a book I've started in April?

I've asked previously and she said yes :)
