Uhm, yeah, it's when you set a timer and read as many pages as you can. It's fun but I get too competitive sometimes :D

[Maddie]

Haha yeah it's the only time that I read. Would you be up for it now, by any chance?

Oh how handy.

[Maddie]

Awesome got us another 6 points.

[Michelle]

Oh sorry!! I feel asleep, I was too tired! And today it's not much better, I just came back from a Weezer concert and can't even lift my hands anymore.

I just wanted to check in and let you know I probably won't be around here til Monday, and I hope I'll finish at least one book by then. (:

[Maddie]

Alright see ya :) I'm planning on getting at least 1 other book read by then XD

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Okay I already have a book read and I'm working on my second. I'm just trying to find time to write the review. I'll try to post it by the end of this week.

[Maddie]

Alright awesome :) I'm 48% through my current read, which I want to get finished today/tomorrow. I can get us 5 points, but it's just so frustrating because it's not a br, and it would easily give us 10 points. No one wanted to read it with me :( It's such an amazing book.

[Abby]

Yeah I try to get buddy reads for everything, but could only get people for 3 of my books this month. :/

[Maddie]

Oh bummer.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Yeah idk what it is with this month. But not a lot of people are doing BRs or at least not with books I wanted to read this month. So I'm saving them for next month and reading other books.

Does anyone know when we'll find out how much the boxes are worth?

[Maddie]

I messaged Sarah about it and she said they do it weekly, or maybe a little more depending on the amount of boxes guessed.

She also said that every team has the same board, so we can snoop and see how much boxes are worth... Also said she'd announce the Golden Box, which is the same on each board, so when that's found there'll be plenty of snooping.

[Maddie]

And this is my only read this month so far not buddied xD so I'm going to try do quite a bit of reading.

[Jessica]

The book I'm currently reading has another version of 2,000 something pages, do you think I'm allowed to use that version for my page count?

[Maddie]

Yeah you can as long as it's not an iBooks edition. You can only get 6 points for the book and another 6 for the buddy read, so even if it is 2,000 pages, you'd only get 6 points rather then 20.

[Jessica]

Okay, Thanks :)

[Maddie]

Algood. I'm kind of pleased for that rule XD Makes it a little more fair. Just sucks that if the book you actually read was 800 pages, not another edition you found, and you still wouldn't be able to count it.

I have no idea how people can actually write an 800 pages book.

[Maddie]

Another 5 points. And tomorrow I'll get us another 2, and the next day potentially more than 6 :)

[Maddie]

Just read a novella as a buddy, so instead of .5 points we got a whole 1 :p I'll have another book finished tomorrow probably, which is a buddy.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Anyone else excited and scared at the same time to see the score board once the boxes are revealed?

[Jessica]

Me. I don't know how to choose if I should be worried if we'd be behind on points or excited to see what points we got from the score board.

[Maddie]

Yeah haha. We're so close with the top team!

If only ACOMAF was a br Jessica XD

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

I'm surprised you couldn't get a BR for it. The next book is coming out in May. Usually people are scrambling to reread it by now.

[Jessica]

ACOMAF was amazing. I actually don't know how the buddy reads system works, I probably could've gotten a BR for it, but I read either too fast or too slow to keep up with others.

[Maddie]

Yeah haha.

So you don't br your books Jessica??

[Jessica]

I rarely do.

[Maddie]

It doubles your points in this challenge and makes reading so much more fun!

[✨ jami ✨]

Hello everyone! Just finished my first book

if anyone is interested in buddying, these are the books I have planned for the rest of the month

[Maddie]

@jamieson: Nicole and I are reading Clockwork Angel on the 24th if you want to join :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

So we're allowed to use novellas for this challenge as long as it is at least 100 pgs right? Does anyone know?

[Abby]

We are!

[Maddie]

I counter a 75pg novella with a buddy as 1 point haha. just didn't get a box for it.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Hey guys how's everyone doing?

I have books ready to be reviewed. I just haven't had time to review them sorry >.<

[Abby]

A little over halfway through a buddy read book. Hopefully finished by tomorrow. I'm reading like I'm on a serious team!

[Maddie]

Finishing Crown's Game today (buddy) and then starting which sadly isn't a buddy but that I'll get finished tomorrow. Then tomorrow I'll start another buddy (next Series of Unfortunate Events) and then I'll either continue with that series, or I'll read (both of which'll be buddies). Oh I've also got to read at some point, along with (both buddies). And then, Nicole, we'll be reading , which I'll force myself to be done before the end of the month so we get the points.

[Maddie]

Lol looks so unorganised, that post.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Lol that uhh quite a schedule Maddison.

@Abby all the better for our team XD

[Maddie]

Yeah haha. I've also got a few of these which I'm buddying with Brooke. Just gotta keep up with it all.

Oh wait I forgot which I'm reading on the 17th (buddy).

As you can tell I plan all of my reads so they're buddies XD

[Maddie]

Finished Crown's Game. 29% into Problem Child.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

@Maddison How's crowns game going?

[Maddie]

I posted that I finished it xD

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Oh haha! I read that wrong. I saw 29% and Crown's Game XD

[Maddie]

Ah haha that's the next book the 29. it's a children's one

[Jessica]

Sorry! I was busy this week doing test prep for school. I'm planning to finish , , and by Wednesday.

[Maddie]
