This is another collection of the in between novellas. All the copies of those that I had access to through my libraries were under 100 pages, so I read this one. However, there is now a BR for one of the novellas that is included in this collection. Can I get points for participating in it? Link below for your info, Vicky, but it hasn't started yet, so I haven't made any comments.

Vicky, I noticed that you haven't updated in a few days. That brings up 2 questions:1. How's your father-in-law?
2. Do you need any assistance with the spreadsheet/updating?
I will be able to update over this weekend if Vicky doesn't get to it before then :)

He's better! They're still working towards a diagnosis but he moved out of ICU last night, so we're on a more positive road now. I drove home Wednesday and was straight back to work on Thursday so I'm more or less back to normal on my end.
I closed tonight and I'm opening tomorrow, but I'll be doing another big update tomorrow night. Honestly, when we don't have tasks and such to keep up with it just doesn't make sense to update a few books at a time. :)

I sadly didn't get chosen to write DQ's for "The Tattooist of Auschwitz". But at least I can get points for participating
Laura wrote: "Vicky, if a BR gets set up for a book that I've already read during the challenge, can I comment/participate and get points? It's one I just read last week, if time makes a difference."Sorry I missed this one. Yes, you can participate in the discussion if you've read it during the challenge!
Laura wrote: "However, there is now a BR for one of the novellas that is included in this collection. Can I get points for participating in it?"I'm going to go with yes, you did read it after all!
Vicky wrote: "Sorry I missed this one. Yes, you can participate in the discussion if you've read it during the challenge!"That's what I figured, so I did. :)

Will do, as soon as they start reading/posting. :)
On that note, I noticed that you read Gemina. Since I just picked up the audio of Illuminae and Gemina for a re-read (well worth the listen, so far!), I noticed that there is a BR for Gemina:

Hi all, I'm sorry for my extended silence. I participated in two back-to-back readathons this past week and didn't even update Goodreads with what all I was reading. I have dates and such on my Twitter and Instagram, though. I started going through and adding the books I've read since July 17th and my last check-in, but I just came over sleepy, so I'll finish that and give you all my completion posts later today.

I love her books! I've just been re-reading them. :)
Vicky, do we need anymore books for classes?
I've finished the 6th Harry Potter book :) I'll read a BOTM next, and then hopefully there'll be enough time to read the 7th part of HP for this challenge :)
Ora, we still need a couple of ARCs/eARCs. I know Vicky was working on 1 more, but I’m not sure what the status is on that.
Like Laura said, the only things we need for classes are ARCs - I'm in the middle of one right now and have another on deck.
Popping in....just an FYI, but if anyone has access to Amazon prime, the Kindle First books also work for ARCs as they’re available to prime members prior to their publication date....popping back out. ;)

It looked like it was only available to the audio romance package. I'm not sure if it will qualify.

One of the mods has PMed me regarding some of the buddy reads that people have submitted as participating in that do not qualify. Buddy Reads for this TT require interaction with others in the thread, so one post with your thoughts does not count. ..."
If you're wondering, I just went through and I have now commented on others' posts in all seven HP buddy read threads. Do you want links? Or is it enough to know that I've made more than my first comments in all of the threads?
