Team Elephant is currently running on three members. Two haven't really said much for a few days and one is, hopefully, posting this weekend."

I have chased missing team members.

[Tati]

Elephant is doing pretty well, then!

[Jackie]

Yeah, they really are. Everyone is.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The buddy reads make a big difference.

[Eesh]

Yeah, they do.

[Jackie]

They sure do.:)I think all of my books so far for this month are buddy reads—I just need to hurry up and read them.

Thanks, had checked there a few weeks ago and it wasn't there either, guess I should have checked back.

Hey Sarah I know it's almost halfway through the month but can I still join as a solo player? The challenge looked really fun and I didn't want to miss out even though I haven't been on Goodreads in a while :)

[Lola]

I have a book that fits 3 categories, what is the procedure.

[Jordan]

@Lola

You can pick whichever one that you want. You can also re-use categories as much as you want :)

Do they count as separate points?

[Jackie]

Yes, if you have a book that fits "a book about sisters" and another book that fits that category, they count as two separate points. However, you can't count a book for multiple categories. Did that help?

Oh it totally did. Thank you.

[Jackie]

No problem. Glad I could help.:)

[Carrie]

Easiest way to think of it is any book from 100-449 pages will be 1 pt and any 450+ is 2 no matter if you use a category or it's on the list, it just needs to fall into one of those to be able to count it at all.

I don't know if I asked you but I'm rereading Poison Study if that is okay. I read it two years ago. I want to try to continue the series.

[Victoria]

Hey Sarah! I wanted to ask - I've just started at a new job and I work odd hours so I'll probably add a bundle of reviews in a week. I promise it won't be the last day or even the last couple days - it'll be before then is that alright?

[Jamie]

Hey Sarah, just so you know Elle on Team Lion still has not posted anything.

we just found out that Elle is at dance camp.

Yes but that was on the 6th. And that was mentioned before this challenge started. Nothing since and half the month is gone and nothing went up the week before she went. Nor do we know how long the camp lasts. Regardless, right now it is hurting our team.

I've messaged her and she's not replied, so I think we should probably assume that she's not participating anymore.

Team Elephant is on a roll!

[Lola]

Can you still do buddy reads this late? Do you have to buddy read from someone in your team or is it open to all members of the group?

You can buddy read anytime during the month, and it can be with anyone in the group.
