I was... But then I realized I have two long weekends in April, and this is a free for all challenge, so I changed my mind LOL

[Ariel]

I had sent a friend request to Pretty the day the teams were listed and still have not been approved. Just sent a message to Pretty, will see if I get a response!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't have a space at the moment, but Berit is right that Pretty hasn't checked in yet. If she doesn't check in by Aprik 1st then you can take her place ☺

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Hi, for fun please :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can join Team Wakefield ☺ - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'll wait, then :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Tati ☺

[Adriana]

We have six team members who haven't checked in Team Bristol. I know it's a fun team but I noticed the other fun teams have more people checked in. Just wanted to let you know (:

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Adriana ☺

[Connie]

Hello! I know I'm super super late but can I join either for fun (if there's room) or solo?!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can join Team Cardiff ☺ - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hey Sarah! I wasn't able to finish Blood Rose Rebellion in March (read 48%). Is that too much to get partial credit for April? It's a longish book, so I was hoping to be able to get some credit for it, but I understand if not!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can get points for the pages read in April, you just won't be able to choose a box as well. Does that make sense?

[Jamie]

Can I restart beautiful creatures? I started it a few months ago and only got 40 pages in. Was hoping to be able to start over.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine ☺

[Ariel]

Hi, Pretty on Team Birmingham still hasn't checked in :(

[Meaghan]

That makes sense! Thanks Sarah :) one more question I forgot to include, but it's a buddy read. Is it possible to get that box, or no? Just curious!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

no unfortunately, you'll just get the points for the book and the points for the buddy read, but no boxes.

I think we'll just have to replace her with Tati. It doesn't look like she's very active on goodreads so she's probably forgotten or something.

[Meaghan]

Alright thanks Sarah! :)

[Tati]

Sarah, I'm reading a book for work that comes out only next year and it has no page count. Is there any chance I can use the page count from the pdf file I have?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, as its such an early copy that's fine ☺

[Stormy]

Q : can I start on buddy read early and still count it As long as it was in April

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can start up to a week early ☺

[Madeline]

Hey, I am new to this group. Can I join this challenge solo?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine, I'll add you to the list ☺

Rereads have to be at least one year right? I just reread (well, listened to an audio review copy) of All Heart by Mara Dabrishus, but I just read it when it came out in September. So that can't count right? Just want to check. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Re-reads do have to be a year since you last read the book, so no, it wouldn't count unfortunately.

[C.P.]

I didn't think so. Thanks!

[Rachmi]

Sarah, I want to read Hunted and there will be its BR on the 12th, I think. Problem is the next day is Strange The Dreamer BR and I want to do it too. Can I read Hunted days ahead of the schedule? I'm thinking to read it tomorrow and post my progress on its thread. Does it still count as BR or not?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that will be okay as long as you go back and discuss the book when other people start reading it ☺

[Rachmi]

I will! Thanks Sarah :)

[Ariel]

Sorry if someone already asked this: is it one board for all the types of teams (serious, Medium, fun)?

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm pretty sure yes, although I don't believe that has been asked yet :-)

[Wolf (Alpha)]

There is just the one board for everybody taking part in the whole challenge. -- That's what Sarah said.

[Ariel]

Okay, thanks! Sorry for being repetitive!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, just the one board ☺

[Maddie]

Holy wow look at those fun teams speed past even the serious teams!

And then look at us mediums, just chilling :p

[Wolf (Alpha)]

Well, I'm about to pull my serious team up. I have a bunch of buddy reads.

[Abby]

When will the box points be calculated?

[Tati]

That's the beauty of this challenge: it's soooooo unpredictable!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

box points will be calculated roughly once a week, or more frequently if people have a lot of boxes to count up ☺
