Bookbuyer's Justice League - Chat! ***We Shall Prevail*** ✔
I already have some BR's planned for April and May. I don't have dates right now but I will by the 23rd. :)
I have no idea what my planned reads will fit, but I'm sure they will fit something. :)

I haven't really planned what each book will fit because after I saw *A book written by a woman* I knew it would be easy. 95% of the books I read are by women. ^-^

Jessica wrote: "Checking in."Hi! ^-^
And 95% of mine are men! Actually think it's more around 70%.

lol. It's because you read a lot of high fantasy! ^-^
Jessica wrote: "Hi Bookbuyer"Do you have anything planned yet or are you a mood reader? ^-^

I've not really taken a look yet, but I'm one of those people who plan everything, so I'll have planned books soon.

Cool. I'm the same. ^-^
So should our team motto be "We shall prevail" ?
Jessica wrote: "So should our team motto be "We shall prevail" ?"Yes! I'm going to add it to our title now. ^-^
I'll put up what I'm planning to read. They should all fit this. :) And yes, it's all that high fantasy that gives men the advantage in my reading.

Today is team day in YA so I should have my BRs planned very shortly. Probably today.
Ok. Here are my planned reads. I'm up for buddy reading if anyone is interested. April Reads
Doctor Strange -> book involving magic:
BR on April 15thAquaman -> book with a blue cover:
ARC, reading by 5/8Hulk ->Book dealing with mental health:
Thor -> a book with a mythology focus:
(BR April 20 in another group)Wonder Woman -> a book written by a woman:
May Reads
Elektra -> book featuring a mercenary:
BR May 12thThe Flash -> a book with wings on the cover:
Wonder Woman -> a book written by a woman:
Category??
Other Possible Reads
Iron Man -> child genius:
Superman -> sci-fi/dystopia:
Maybe (BR May 1st in another group)
Do we want to make a list of all the categories and who is claiming what?
Mod
Wait! We all can't read the same categories?! I didn't know that!
The rules say that all categories have to be completed once before it can be started over.
C.P. wrote: "The rules say that all categories have to be completed once before it can be started over."OMG! I completely missed that!!!! I am not a good mod. lol.
Now I should really try to plan lol. Will do so shortly. :P
Mod
I had forgotten until I was just looking it over again!

Some of the ones I have can also be moved around to other categories. And some of them I'm probably not going to get to.

C.P. wrote: "Some of the ones I have can also be moved around to other categories. And some of them I'm probably not going to get to."KK. We can figure it out once everyone is here. I would love the wonderwoman female author one but I can probably fit a lot of my books if various categories. :)
Yeah, both of the ones that I have marked on that could probably be moved. And those are some that I am not as sure about. I will probably read the Heir right now, but Silas Marner might happen later.

So I already know I can't do WW2 so hopefully one of you can cover that. Otherwise none of the others seem impossible. :)
I will probably be listening to Salt to the Sea, so I can take WW2.
C.P. wrote: "I will probably be listening to Salt to the Sea, so I can take WW2."Awesome. Do you want me to add that to the list or wait? :)
You can add it. :) We can change later if needed.
C.P. wrote: "You can add it. :) We can change later if needed."KK. :)
How do we want to claim stuff? Maybe each pick a couple from the start and then see from there?
C.P. wrote: "How do we want to claim stuff? Maybe each pick a couple from the start and then see from there?"Sure. How about we cap at 3 and then the faster readers have more options. :)
Sounds good! And things can be changed around if needed. I think trying to plan them all out would be a bad idea. So if anyone has some they would like to claim, let us know.

it's all good! I checked you in! We don't really send out a message to everyone in the group when we make teams.. mostly because we just add them onto the sign up sheet.. but I'm thinking maybe we should start making a different thread for all of that and then sending out a message..
