hey guys, i had my team captain ask the mods if we could count The Shoebox Project as a book and they said yes! 
so i was wondering if anyone wanted to do it as a buddy read? if you're not familiar it's a very long [although sadly unfinished] marauder era fanfic and the main pairings are james/lily and sirius/remus.
Anyone up for:
(I need to read the last one before the end of May.)

wait so we can read fanfiction as well???? :O (considering it's long enough)

in mid-June. It's been awhile since I read book one, but I liked it enough that book 2 is on my buy list.
@Christina i'm not sure what their exact reasoning behind approving the shoebox project was but i assume it's because 1. it's novel length and 2. it's probably the most popular HP fic ever written so a lot of us have fond memories of reading it along with the series. so i don't think we can just read any old fanfiction and count it [and i hope i haven't started a slippery slope kind of situation here *g*].

Basically any book just needs to meet the challenge rules.
So -
graphic novel, poetry, cookbook? no
children's book with less than a verified word count of 25,000 words? no
a book that isn't on Goodreads ? no
a book that is less than 100 pages? no
If it is on goodreads, is over the required word/page limit and isn't in one of the categories mentioned above (graphic, poetry etc.) then you can use it.
Fan Fic won't be counted as the extra 10 points for the HP buddy reads though.

@devann I have had The Diviners staring at me from my book shelf for years. I’m down for a buddy read. Later in June or July?
Would anyone like to do a buddy read for
? Preferably starting ASAP or within 2 weeks.

The 15th works for me.
@Karen thanks for the clarification and it definitely makes sense that any HP fanfic won't get the extra 10 points since it's not actually a canon part of the series [no matter how much we wish it was sometimes lol]@Erika mid-july would probably work best for me as i've already got BRs going on the 8th and 22nd. you want to just start on the 15th then?
I'm going to read
sometimes soon...anyone interested in reading this with me?

@devann that should work for me too! @tammi i’d love to read the fault in our stars! When were you looking to start?
Oh awesome Karen, thanks for clarifying! My main reason for not actually wanting to start a new challenge was that I wanted to start reading some fics again, but I didn't realize so many of them were on goodreads as well 🎉
Also, I would love to read The Fault in Our Stars but I also don't wanna read it because I know it's gonna break me :(

Awesome!
Dear mods, could we have a buddy read thread for
starting 29 May?
Erika wrote: "@devann that should work for me too! @tammi i’d love to read the fault in our stars! When were you looking to start?"
Anytime after the 2nd is fine with me...I'm waiting on it from the library. I'll be reading this in actual book form while I do audio on others. How about you?
