About the four status thing, how would that work? Any examples? I don't want to spoil my goodreads friends:-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Here's one that we had submitted for the wedding challenge today - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Basically we need details, but like you said, not spoilers. I did status updates on this book - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
so things like - "OMG. No wonder Cory hates Bonegrinder!" Not a spoiler, but clear that something is going on, and contains names.
Or "Yuck. I want to kill Seth myself. I hope Bonegrinder gets him and I hope it hurts!"
not a spoiler, but again, lets you know that something happens! maybe more a teaser than a spoiler? ☺

So are we completing the challenges 1 at a time or all together though the month of July?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They're all happening at the same time. The trick is to find books which fit all the challenges, so that each book you read counts for each challenge ☺

[[deleted user]]

Thanks. That makes sense

[Victoria]

Hi! Where will I post my book review?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

For 'hangman' you will post reviews on your team thread, which will be made by each team after teams are picked.
For 'Bookish Blocks' there will be a review thread created where people can post their reviews.
For 'Clean Your Shelf' there is a seperate thread for posting reviews which is here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Can I use a book that I read for the hangman challenge on the bookish blocks challenge too?

Yes. :)

[[deleted user]]

Ok thanks :D

[Katelyn]

can we just rate the book? what are the review guidelines?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Our challenge rules, and review guildines are here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

basically we just need details in your review so that we know you've really read the book ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Teams for the Hangman challenge are now up here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If you are participating in this part of the challenge please check which team you are in, and follow the next steps as outlined in the hangman thread ☺

[Irene]

If I start a book tomorrow and read like 20%, and finish it the next day, July 1st, will that count or do I have to actually start the book on July 1st? It's different in every group, so I just wanted to make sure since I probably will finish my current read tonight and won't be able to finish a new one before the challenge start ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

For this challenge you have to start on July 1st, ideally on goodreads time. Maybe you could find a novella or something to read ?

[[deleted user]]

Do rereads count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, you can have up to 2 re-reads, but if its for a book you've previously reviewed you will have to write a new review with new book-specific details ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Less than 12 hours to go everybody! Are you all ready?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The challenge has officially started! Good luck everybody ☺

Yay! I have already one book but I am going to be slow starting because I have work experience all this week! :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear, good luck with that Rachel!
