Apologizes but I’m a little confused, what do we do after we’ve finished a book and left a review?

You go onto your team's review thread and leave a post like this:

Category: (post whatever resolution you finished)
Review: insert link to your review
Buddy: insert link to buddy read review thread if there is one
Pages: (highest page number) insert link to that page

[Victoria]

Is anyone keen to read one of the Harry Potter books? Probably the first one, but I don't mind doing a later one if you guys wanted to buddy that :)

[Angie]

What even is buddy reading?

[Felicia]

Angie wrote: "What even is buddy reading?"

Buddy reading is when you and at least one other person agree to read the same book or series at the same time. You ask a mod, such as myself or any of the other girls, on the “buddy read thread request” thread for a thread of whatever book you are buddying reading. You will tell us a start date and we will make a thread for you. You must then comment on the thread five times with your updates while reading the book. You then get the allotted number of points for a buddy read for whatever challenge you are participating in.

[Laura (acquariusgb)]

Hi everyone!Happy new year and happy 2018 reading! : )

Is this Harry Potter buddy read thread still valid? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I would like to continue my harry potter reread. My next one is number 3

For January 2018 new release I was thinking about reading The Cruel Prince since it's also the book of the month.

Then I'm also reading The Ship of the Dead for 3. Finish a series that I have started

I will ask the other mods about your HP thread question and get back to you.

[Felicia]

@Laura, that thread is okay for you to use for your HP reads. We recommend looking for a buddy to make the discussion more fun. Since it seems like your original buddy never commented.

Happy reading! :D

I got my weekly graphic novel read for my trade paperback resolution. I posted it up on the review thread. =]

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

I plan to read these this month if anyone wants to buddy read with me:


And these ARCs if anyone has them:

[Amanda]

I'm so excited for this new year in reading!! I just started The Dazzling heights!

[Victoria]

@Laura, I'll be keen to do HP3 with you! When did you want to start?
@Vanessa, I'm keen to do the Gray Wolf Throne with you, so let me know when you've read the first two books and we can pick a date :)

Yeah, great : )
any date from Monday 8th works out for me.

[Felicia]

@Vanessa, The Cruel Prince is the January BOTM. If you participate in that thread (linked below) you'll get two points for reading that book instead of just one. (:

I also plan on reading that one as well. :D

I've never read an Harry Potter book. Can I make it my 3 and 7?

Books can only be used in one category. But you can repeat categories for different books.

[Victoria]

Okay Laura, all good if we start Tuesday 9th? If that's okay, can you ask for the thread to be changed? :)
