Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Does anyone know if BR comments can count as a 'review' or do I have to copy and paste for 'status updates'?

You have to do updates as well as comments. Not sure if they can be the same thing though. I always use reviews.

I usually do as well but reviewing manga is a pain and I'm commenting a lot more on my BR thread than normal so I was hopeful. Oh well. I'll have to copy and paste. Now I wish I had included the page number when I was commenting. :(

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think I'm going to turn in for the night. My manga turned scary and don't want to read either of my books right now. Plus I'm sleepy. lol. :/

Alaina (ameserole) OMMMMMGGGG I finally figured out how to put an image/gif thing on my reviews. I don't know why I didn't ask but I'm so happy I figured it out!!!

Alaina (ameserole) I have some reviews to type but I've been out of the house all day. I'll probably write them tomorrow. But I'll try to get them done tonight. Go team basil 😁

Also, since I've never done a buddy read does anyone want to do one later this month or next month?!? I don't even care what book.

Sure. :)

I can also just list the titles as well if that's easier. :)


message 216: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) No sorry my phone too awhile to put up the books. I'm down with hunted or the throne of glass series since I have to reread throne of glass. Anything else I'm pretty much down. I have so many books I want to read.

KK. I'll send you the links for them in a little. :)

Alaina (ameserole) I'm so happy that I have my laptop and I'm on GR and not on my phone which hates me. Anyone else want to plan a BR?!?

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Just remember to check the starting date before starting and to make 4 detailed comments and your good. Looking forward to seeing you on the threads! :D


message 221: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Are those for this month? Do I just type "Can I join?"?


message 222: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I've decided to give up Fullmetal Alchemist as it was giving me nightmares. :/

Yes they are for this month. You can if you want but most people just join in. :D

ahhh okay. well i'm sorry if my comments don't make sense sometimes. typing from my phone is super hard when my autocorrect screws me over all the time. I'll definitely have to dive into Throne of Glass soon. I'm trying to demolish my currently reading tab and i'm kind of hooked with Garden of Thorns. So after that I will definitely dive into ToG

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I'm really sorry- I'm away this weekend so got a few reviews to write but limited internet access so cannot post- will do it when I get back on Monday night


message 231: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know I'm not going to be posting any more book reviews for the challenge this month. Or for any other challenge I'm participating this month (just in case any of your are in another challenge with me). I just posted my last one. I'm going to relax until October.

Happy Reading!

You did great this month! Looking forward to competing with you next month! :D


message 233: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I have several reviews I need to post. I will try to do that before I go away for the weekend. :)


message 234: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) No worries, I should have probably five more by the end of the month? Reading for me is relaxing :-)

Haha same for me.. but I've been having such a stressful month with job interviews and applying for jobs. I'm still going to read this week.. I just wont be posting for the challenges.


message 236: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I should hopefully have 3 more reviews by the end of the month.


message 237: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I'm the absolute worst at scheduling buddy reads! I've missed the window on several reads this month due to starting them way too late. Good thing we're not relying on BRs too much this month.


message 238: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) It’s tough when you are in other challenges to make those book fit with planned buddy reads, I think Sharon and I are doing a few series reads next month so that can give me a little more wiggle room....


message 239: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments A lot of it had to do with being on hold at the library for a couple of books that came in late.


message 240: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Ugh I hate when people return books late. I've been on the waiting list at position 1 for almost a month on some of the books I have ion hold at the library😑😑

My library is really bad about losing their own books too. It's amazing how many times I go in there to get a book that's labeled as being on the shelf and it's nowhere to be found. Many times I've had to ask and I always get a "Well, that's strange. That NEVER happens." I much prefer checking out ebooks, but the physical line is usually shorter.

Oh my god. I would hate that so much. My library's not that bad.. but since I live around so freaking many (I think the closest one is like a mile or two away from my house) when you look for a book there's like two available at one library but the one that's at your library is rented out and there's like 8 people in line on hold.

For A Game of Thrones for the actual book there's 14 people on hold and for the ebook there's over 30. It's so stressful.

And I agree I would much rather have the ebook than anything.

Cindee | 706 comments This month's goals might not be reached but I will try.


message 244: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) So, I lied. I posted more reviews for our team.




message 245: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments Just one review left for me. Good job on our win!


message 246: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I have three to post :-) I have so much to do today I really need to wake up some more! More caffeine please!


message 247: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) I believe in you two!!


message 248: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments It's finally time for me to post all my reviews! -.- I hate laziness!!!!


message 249: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments We would win whether or not we post the rest of our reviews. But I'd love to crush the other teams with as wide a margin as possible. Muahahaha!
