Hi, just wanted to say that my partner contacted me when the pairs were posted but I've yet to hear from her, should I be worried? I figured I'd wait a little longer but then I saw your post...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Your partner is Tessa, she's usually pretty reliable. Do you want to make a team thread, just use your names for the team name for now if you want, and then when you get a message back from Tessa you can change it if you want to. I'd hope that she'd get back to you soon though. If you're still having problems by tomorrow we'll see what we can do ☺

[Emily]

Sarah wrote: "Emily, you haven't signed up for this challenge which is why you haven't been given a partner. Did you want to join?"

Oh, sorry! I thought I had, but if I am still able to join, I would like to. Thanks!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's fine. We'll try and sort you out with a partner ☺

[Heather]

Sarah I am also still waiting

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Heather wrote: "Sarah I am also still waiting"

I spoke to Maddison this morning, and she said she was waiting for you to reply to her about a name? If you want to just create a team thread and use your names for now, then you can change the name when you manage to get in touch with each other? ☺

[Heather]

I am actually on my phone and can't create a thread since I am on vacation

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Kathryn wrote: "My partner's being really sporadic in terms of contact :("

Okay, do you want to do what I've been suggesting to everyone else? Make a team thread, just use your names for the team name for now if you want, and then when you get a message back from Trixie you can change it if you want to.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hopefully guys some of these issues will be solved once we start the challenge, as you'll only be relying on your partner to post their reviews rather than respond to messages. If it seems like someone has been abandoned we will do our best to help you gys out ☺

I'll go with Emily if I don't hear back Sydney in the next few hours...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay Jenni, thanks for letting us know ☺

[Audrey]

I did our thread! Does mangas or graphic novel counts ?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

no sorry, books with pictures don't count unfortunately ☹

[Audrey]

Sarah wrote: "no sorry, books with pictures don't count unfortunately ☹"

so Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children doesnt count? :/

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have no idea how many pictures are even in that book. It's mostly text isn't it?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just had a scan through my copy and it's mainly text with a few photographs so you could count that one ☺
There are some really weird pictures in there!

Yup haha but i cant wait to read it :)

[Tessa]

Sorry Lis, I was away for the weekend. Contacted you now. It's going to be a little hard for us since we have a 9 hours time difference, but we'll manage it somehow :) .

Awww, thank you for the vote of confidence Sarah :) .

[It’s.Annie]

I know this is the hangman one but sarah if I want to do a buddy read with heather so it can count for the challenge where do I make the thread

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! Things should be a bit easier once it's a case of posting reviews rather than having to message each other ☺

[Marla]

Sorry, I've been out of town since last Thursday. My partner has been reassigned. But I still want to play/read.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hay Marla! That's fine ☺ Emily still doesn't have a partner, so if you'd like to be paired with her, that would be great! This is her profile if you'd like to message her to sort out a name - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3... ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you aren't able to get in contact with her before the challenge starts you can always create your team thread using your names as the team name (you can always change it at a later date ☺)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Less than 12 hours to go now!

[Audrey]

i cant wait ! will you create a twitter or something to create sprint or whatevs? i think youu should do a 24hour readathon :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can follow us on twitter here: https://twitter.com/yabuddyreads but most of the action happens here ☺
We could consider doing a readathon at some point if people were interested ☺

[Irene]

@Sarah - Yes! to readathon ☺

[[deleted user]]

What's a readathon?

[[deleted user]]

I would love a READATHON.

[[deleted user]]

Sorry for the caps. Don't know why my phone did that.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay guys, we'll see what we can do! ☺ Would somewhere around the mid-point of the challenge be any good? Or maybe a couple of short ones?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

A week?! That is hardcore Kathryn! ☺

[[deleted user]]

A week one is easier than a 24 hour one.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh right, I've only really done 2-3 day ones, and I literally do nothing but read (and occasionally feed my family). I aim for 3-4 books a day ☺

[Katelyn]

I love week readathons but July is going to be so busy for me. I tried a twenty four hour one too. I couldn't stay up lol.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I could never stay up that long either! I need to sleep!

[Abi]

I don't think I'd be able to stay up for 24 hours, even if I had a gallon of tea and loads of sugar!

[[deleted user]]

It's hard to stay up. I was so tired once I was done with the 24 hours. I have enjoyed the week long ones.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think we'd run out of plates pretty quick if i didn't stack the dishwasher for a week ha ha! I could never read for 24 hours straight either!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think a readathon could be a good idea though, it might help motivate us all ☺
