Sarah hasn't been on for about 4 days so maybe something happened?

uhh I have no idea. I kind of want to know where I am point wise for the solo team too but I just assumed since the challenge will be over this weekend that everything was going to be updated then. That way I can finish my reading challenge for this year before she does the update.

Any time in 2017.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

All added ☺ I'm not sure when I'll post the teams, I've been too busy to even get online.

KK. Thanks Sarah. Good to see you again! ^-^

[Rachmi]

Sarah, I want to read and put it as a new author for me. And then if it's good enough I want to continue the series, at least book 2 and put it under the new series for me. Can I do it?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

My understanding is that if an author is new to you at the beginning of the challenge you can use new to you author for all their books. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Just because we don't know when teams will be made I should mention I probably won't be on from the 31st to the 2nd as I will be travelling. :)

[Janor]

Yes, that's fine, as long as the author is new to you in January then you can read as books as you like by them ☺

Thank you, Bookbuyer! I thought I can only read one book from one author even if she is new to me :)

For the ARC, does it have to be a book published in 2018 or could it be a book already publish for which I had the ARC but haven't read yet?

[✦ Maica ✦]

Can middle grade books count for this? And is there a minimum page count for those? I know there sometimes is, so just want to check. Thanks!

If the ARC has already been published, then it needs to have a publication date of 2017/2018 to count. You couldn't use an ARC which was published before 2017.

Will teams be made today?

If not what do we do about tomorrow? ^-^

Keyona wrote: "Are graphic novels over 100 pages allowed?"

I'll discuss it with Abbie, usually graphic novels would have to be over 300 pages to count though, or you would have to read anough graphic novels to get to the 300 page minimum page count.

Yes, middle-grade books count, but they have to be over 150 pages long to count.

Teams will be made tomorrow now as I haven't had chance to send the group message out about sign ups yet. Tomorrow you can start reading as normal, and then once teams are posted you can make chat and review threads, and post any books that you have already read in January ☺
