Team Reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Points:
*50 - 100 pages = 0.5 points
*101 - 199 pages = 1 point
*200 - 299 pages = 2 points
*300 - 399 pages = 3 points
and so on... (maximum of 6 points per book)
*Poetry/Graphic novels/illustrated books = 1/3 of above points, so a 300 page book is worth 1 point.
*Buddy reads DOUBLE your points score, so a 300 page book + buddy read = 6 points. (Bonus points for buddy reads will only be given if the buddy read has taken place in our group.)
*You may have as many re-reads as you like ☺
*Books started before September can be used, but you must only claim the number of pages read in September.

Vivi | 1374 comments Hi, everyone!
First time playing on a team :)

For now, I'm planing to read in September:
My Wolf and Me by India R. Adams Velvet (Velvet, #1) by Temple West Opal (Lux, #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout Making Faces by Amy Harmon It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini The Girl in my Dreams by Logan Byrne

And I might read :
Gabriel's Inferno (Gabriel's Inferno, #1) by Sylvain Reynard
(might change it later...)

And you guys? Anything you wanna read in September?

Luci Limón (lucilimon) | -3 comments Hi Vivi!! Welcome to the team, I've been joining this group's challenges and it can be real fun :) If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.

On September I'll try to read as many books from this list as I can (mostly in Spanish)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

And I might also read these if I have the time
Half a King (Shattered Sea, #1) by Joe Abercrombie Opal (Lux, #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout The Crown (The Selection, #5) by Kiera Cass (<- I have some buddies to read this one with, we still have to pick the date though) And I'd also like to read the novellas from this series.

Do you have any BRs set up already? Maybe it would be a good idea to share them, in case someone else in the team is interested :)

I'll, probably, be chosing books from here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I don't have any buddy reads set up... I'm open to it if anyone wants to read any of the books I'll be reading in September...

I also have yet to read Opal, I really enjoyed the first 2 books of the series :)

I'll be checking in here to see what everyone'll be reading and maybe set some buddy reads :)

Nur Raihan (byeraihan) For now, I'm planning to read in September:
City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments, #5) by Cassandra Clare and Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare .

I've asked to buddy read but no one seems interested :( Those are pretty thick books and worth to double the points!

Also, I'm planning to join the group readalong for Confess by Colleen Hoover

Are you planning on doing it in September? If so, we could have a BR and earn more points :)

Hi @Nur Raihan! Those books are well known, I'm sure that if you give it more time someone will show up :) I still have to start that series so I can't be of help there...

Anyone else excited to get started?!?


message 8: by Nur Raihan (new)

Nur Raihan (byeraihan) I know! there are people wanting to buddy read the 2nd and 3rd book of TMI. perhaps its because I'm reading the 5th book?

Vivi | 1374 comments @Lu: I wasn't really planning on reading Opal in September, but since this is an "earn points team challenge"... I just might :) ... I'm up for a BR, but I can only do it after September 11th (I have to read My Wolf and Me first), if that's okay with you?! :)

@Nur Raihan: Hi... I haven't started reading those series yet, so I won't be able to do a BR with you on those books. Are you planning on reading anything else?! :)

I'm joining the group BR for Confess by Colleen Hoover and there is someone wanting to read A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness but she hadn't reply to me yet. I'm just waiting her response for that


message 11: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 125 comments Hi guys,
I not sure exactly what I 'll be reading in September but I know I want to read Scarlet
Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer

And

Hopefully get around to reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5) by J.K. Rowling


message 12: by Emma (new)

Emma (goldguardie) | 266 comments Hey! I'm a late add-on. For september, I haven't really planned anything beyond knowing 100% for sure that I will be dropping everything for Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5) by Sarah J. Maas .

Other than that, I have to see what I end up finishing this month to see what I'll be reading next! :D

Sure! Just let me know when you have some time, no hurries :)

@Katherine I also have Scarlett on my TBR list!! But seeing that other books have more priority for me next month I don't think I'll have the time for it :(

It doesn't need to be the same edition, you can pick the one with the most pages as long as it's the same book.

Michaela (readingrowena) | 723 comments Hello to all of you great people! Hi again to Lu and TJ on the same team again! Thank you Sarah for always granting our wishes haha! Anddd who is ready to do some kick-ass reading this month just when school starts? haha #seniorpower I think September is a pretty good month for reading!
And thanks Nur for wellcoming us! Can't wait to read with you guys!


message 21: by Michaela (new)

Michaela (readingrowena) | 723 comments hii to you to Megan! I usually do 5-6 even 7 a month when I have more time but when it is packed up at school I do like 3-4 books. But for me school starts in mid-sept and I am a senior this year so I should be able to get fast-paced. I am in a huge slump rn and I am watching like one tv show every 4-5 days haha. I just hope after starting the month off with this beauty - Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two (Harry Potter, #8) by Jack Thorne which I resently got will sent me right in the reading rocket! We'll see, happy reading to everyone!


message 22: by Kirsty (new)

Kirsty | 1307 comments Just checking in. I'm not sure what I'm going to be reading in September as I am heading back to uni so I'm not sure how much time I will have to read. I will have a look tomorrow at my books and see which ones I will be reading next month.

I totally did! Although it became too hard for me when the vowels went missing :( luckily we have a hangman champion in our team (a.k.a. TJ) who's still going at it, I might add one or two more books to that challenge and get right into this one.

There's a bunch of books that I need to read before the end of September and I don't know how I'm gonna make it!! Do you guys have any tips for reading faster?

Emma (goldguardie) | 266 comments Ooo Ok, so besides Empire of Storms (br), I'm also planning on reading:

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Hi Team Twix!

Wow! You are all reading such great books! I've been traveling all month and will be home on the 4th, so I'll probably only have sporadic contact until then.

Looking forward to reading and discussing books with you all!!!

Anna (librairieimaginaire) | 394 comments Hello everyone! Super excited to start this challenge.
I don't really plan what I read but I have a huge library haul that needs to go back before I start IB1 on the 6th and run out of time.
I have a br for The Leaving by Tara Altebrando going on right now, one for Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson planned for the 4th and I need to finish What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler , The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank , I Know I Am, But What Are You? by Samantha Bee , L'Étranger by Albert Camus , Possessed (Rayne, #1) by Kate Cann , Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick , The River by Mary Jane Beaufrand , Violent Ends by Shaun David Hutchinson and Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill , all before the 20th. If anyone wants to read any of these with me, that'd be cool.

Could I join the br for A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness ? I've bought a copy months ago that I haven't touched yet.


message 45: by Nur Raihan (new)

Nur Raihan (byeraihan) Hi Anna! Of course you can, I believe there's already a thread on the 20th for the BR :)

Emma (goldguardie) | 266 comments I'm also going to try to get to Cruel Beauty (Cruel Beauty Universe #1) by Rosamund Hodge , The Bone Witch (The Bone Witch, #1) by Rin Chupeco .

Anna (librairieimaginaire) | 394 comments i have br for What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler on the 4th and Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson on the 8th (subject to change) if anyone's interested in joining in!
