Hi Chloe!! I've checked you in. Yes, I saw the cards. We already have 20 bonus points! I can do a spreadsheet to keep track if you want.

Chloe I want to read Red Queen too, so if you want, we could BR it!

[Katarzyna]

I'd love to do a BR of Red Queen with you! Let me know when you would like to start. 😊

[Susan]

Do we just pick any card?

[Susan]

I figured it out.

I was wondering, I started back in June of last year and I am going to start over. I still have 444 pages to read. Since I am starting from the beginning can I count that book? I have to start over because I have no clue what was happening in this book at all. It's been to long.

I also have a book I would like to read that I have coming to me from the library called that fits that category and I was wondering if I can take 2 spots on one card?

I will wait to hear back before I decide on more books

[Kimberly]

I’m still trying to figure this out...so our first book we have to read a book that begins with the LETTERS D,I,E, and or T?

[Katarzyna]

Hi Susan! Yes, you can count that book, as well as take up two spots on one card.
Hi Tammy! For that card, the title of the book has to contain all of those letters, but they can be in any order and in any of the words within the title.

I hope that helps! :)

[Susan]

I have taken quite a few spots and if anyone needs to bump me please do. These are the books I will for sure be reading the first week because I am using them for other challenges too.

and

those 3 books will be read the first week in April so those are the only ones I will ask you don't bump me from.

I am really excited for this challenge to start. I am looking forward to restarting ACOWAR and of course I am dying to read Obsidio

[Em⋆]

Great Chloe :) Does April 9th works for you? If not, we can choose another day!

[Katarzyna]

April 9th works great for me to buddy read Red Queen! I can't wait!

[Em⋆]

Awesome! I'll request the thread for the 9th then

[Susan]

Can I join you both in the buddy read for Red Queen?

[Susan]

It's a series I have always wanted to read and doing a buddy read will make me read it finally

[Em⋆]

Of course Susan!! The more the merrier 😀

Hi Team Palma, just to let you know that I am adding Carrie to your team ☺

[Carrie]

Hey everyone! I decided to join fun since I didn't know if the books I need to read would fit categories but it looks like you guys have a ton of cards so I should be able to squeeze them in somewhere. :)

[Em⋆]

Hi Carrie! Yes, we have a lot and also 3 wild cars, so I don't think we'll have a problem fitting book for now. 😀

[Kimberly]

Tomorrow is April so do we choose are own book to read in the Challenge or do we all read the same book!!! I’m excited to get started!!!

[Kimberly]

And if we are reading our own books I’m reading Children of Blood and Bone. That have the LETTERS D.I.E. In the title!!!

[Em⋆]

Hi Tammy. We dont need to read the same book, we can read our own or BR one. And also you can use whatever card you like, not necessarily in the order that they are in the thread.

[Carrie]

Tammy wrote: "And if we are reading our own books I’m reading Children of Blood and Bone. That have the LETTERS D.I.E. In the title!!!"

As Lucia said you can read whatever you want then just find a spot to put them but the category with D I E also needs a T so it wouldn't fit that one. There's things like one with a B or a female lead etc though that it might fit.

[Clarice]

Something was going wrong with my app I finally got it working, hopefully I’m not to late checking in.

[Em⋆]

It's all right Clarice, I've checked you in! :)

[Carrie]

Lucia - I moved your City of Glass down a wild card section and put my finished read in the first so we will finish that one. :)

[Em⋆]

Awesome! Since you are a fast reader feel free to switch any of my books to another category :)

[Carrie]

Haha I know I've been going non-stop trying to keep up with the publication dates with my ARCs, have had text-to-speech on almost all day everyday and down to my last two reviews for the 10th finally. LOL

[Em⋆]

I'm glad you could make it on time!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Palma, just to let you know that Carrie has offered to move to a serious team who are struggling, so she will be leaving you. I'll move her points, but those books which are already locked into categories, will not be taken away from you, and neither will your bonus points for completing categories. Thank you for understanding ☺
