Bloodlines is good but very different pacing in terms of action.

I posted in the buddy search thread but also posting here in case anyone wants to join me for any of these:

Jackie gets to join us :) Welcome!
im going to be away from the 2nd of july till the 9th i will be reading but i dont think i will have internet to post reviews
No Worries! And thanks for telling us in advance. :)
I'll probably be camping for the 4th of July so I won't have my laptop to post reviews and stuff too, but I'll definitely be reading!
im hoping there is internet but we are going to the middle of nowhere in the uk. i have a suitcase of library books and books that were gifts so loads of reading without distractions

Camping is the perfect time to read! I have to drive about three/four hours this weekend to see my family and I was hoping to get an audiobook.
I just thought to let you guys know I won't be posting any reviews July 6th - July 18th. I will be reading, though. I'm going on vacation.
Thanks for telling us! There were a couple on my last team who posted one review and then haven't said or posted anything since.

So indeed thanks for the heads up!
Jamie- I can't believe our last team is down to four people!! This is crazy :O
Woah what happened?! Our team lost someone during the adjustments too ):
Cheyenne- you might want to let one or both of the mods know that as well so they don't accidentally kick you off. There were a lot of people who weren't submitting reviews this month and so they did that.
Danii wrote: "Woah what happened?! Our team lost someone during the adjustments too ):"Not really sure. One girl went away to dance camp and never posted a review. And the other two only posted one review each I think. So yeah our team has gotten pretty small!
Yeah that's crazy! Was it serious, medium, or fun? I can't believe it went down in members that much o:

Whenever you can :) I have no buddy reads set up
Medium! I can't believe my team is beating a couple serious teams though, that's also crazy! I wonder if final scores will be based off adjusted points or actual points?
Andrea that's what team leopard is trying to figure out! I'm so confused on the adjusted points o.o
I don't really get it either. The algorithms seems off since it includes all books we have read but we can't use all books in challenges (graphic novels, children's books, short novellas, books read between months, etc). I only mentioned it because nearly 1/2 our team wasn't playing. Honestly, seeming comping the team up the the minimum points for readers who quit would be easy (So a medium team would get 8 points for each reader lost). I do not get adjusting everyone else's points as we all have strong or weaker months but oh well, Whatever works I guess. Too much work for me to try to understand the details of it.
When they were going to adjust, I figured the order of team rankings wouldn't be changed, but since we had so many less people, I thought we'd end up closer to the other medium teams point wise. That didn't seem to happen, but oh well. This challenge helped me read more and get my reviews done which I needed!
Yeah I figured they'd add more points per member that was taken off the team, I feel like that would make a lot more sense. What I'm trying to figure out is how a team with 150 points before the adjustment is beating a team that had 200 points before, by literally 200 points... I just don't understand it at all
That is what I thought as well. Maybe get us closer. Not really... So I am just shrugging it off and still reading what I can. :)
Don't worry guys, we'll do great for July (: We got this! Go Team Rattlesnake!
I have no idea! But same here Jamie, I'm just reading as much as I can. And I think Team Rattlesnake is going to take down everyone!!!
Haha I agree, but feel like I shouldnt say anything. My mouth will get me in trouble. Although I wish I knew how they did the adjusted points so we can prepare for it if it happens next month as well.
So I have a list of books ready :)Buddy reads already planned:

Courtney I'll join for The Heir! Are we still doing ACOMAF?
I think we have a really strong team this coming month and I am super excited!
Danii wrote: "Courtney I'll join for The Heir! Are we still doing ACOMAF?"Okay :) When do you wanna read the Heir? Perferably sooner the later I convinced my sistee ro read the series so I got ro finish it before she needs the book. And yes we are I just added it.
I'm fine with whenever! So far I just have The Glittering Court on the 1st, Red Queen on the 6th, and ACOMAF on the 15th! I think that's all so far
And I agree, our team is going to be awesome!
Oh and I will make sure I make time for
. Hopefully I can find a buddy for it.
Wait I got that confused xD ACOMAF on the 6th and Red Queen on the 15th lmao. Maybe like the 22nd-25th?

Sounds perfect! (: The Heir should be a really fast read too.

I'm trying to decide whether or not reading A Clash Of Kings would be a good idea.. It's so long, I don't even think it would be worth it xD But I want to read the book!
read it :) just dont eat or sleep and you will be finished before you know it lol
Sarah sent me the math for the adjusted points: I don't think you can catch up at this point. Your team read 365 books so far this year between you, so your points score is divided by that number. points/365 = number
number x 1000 = adjusted points
adjusted points / 1000 = number
number x 365 = points
0.65217 x 365 = 238 points
Ignore the first part, that's just about Team Leopard, but it uses all the books each member has read for the year. So now we'll know if it happens again this month
Well if it happens this month we are also screwd bexause half of team Leopars is on this team :p Whatever. I am just going to do th challanges to read amazing books and discuss it with amazing people. I just have to get the competivness out of me (mainly towarda the end) Haha
Lmao same here :b once I get back from the store I'm going to post some books that I'm thinking of reading and seeing if anyone would want to do a buddy read. So far I have 6 buddy reads, and 5 possible reads!
