Is it to late to join?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's not too late ☺ All the challenges are still open for sign-ups, but currently we only have spaces on fun teams, or as solo players on the wheel of fortune challenge ☺

Okay, thank you so much! I just want to make sure is it okay if I use the same books across all of the challenges, or can I only use the book for one challenge?

Okay, tha..."

As long as the book works for the individual challenge you can use it for all challenges. :)

It's fine to use the same book for all the challenges, as long as it fits for each challenge. That's the way that you'll be able to earn lots of points ☺

I’m really sorry to sign up at the last minute, I’ve been going back and forth with participating but I have major fomo and don’t wanna miss it! Is it okay to still sign up?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Rachael! Totally fine to still sign up ☺ It's good to see you ♡ You're added ☺

Can I still join a medium team for wheel of fortune by any chance? I was on vacation :/ I would love to join the whole thing.

I don't believe that there are currently any medium spots. You could join fun or solo until a spot opens. Which would you prefer? Sarah will add you to a list of reserve players for a medium team.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Amanda ☺ I don't have any spaces on medium teams at the moment, but I think there are some people who haven't checked in yet, so there may be some spaces available in the future. Would you like to join a fun team or go solo, and then I'll pop you on the waiting list for if a spot becomes available?

(I will add you to the participants list for each challenge tomorrow as I am on my phone at the moment and it can be temperamental ☺)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Slytherpuff ☺

[Amanda]

Yeah, throw me on a fun team and then if someone doesn't show I'll take a spot. :D Thanks Sarah

[Amanda]

and Slytherpuff, don't know how I missed your comment. I'm so excited for this challenge. so intense!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Amanda, you can join Team Horseshoe, and then I'll add you to the waiting list tomorrow ☺

Hi Sarah-not sure what you can do yet, but we have a member missing from Go Forth and Conquer (M) :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Skye ☺ I was thinking last night that we have several people who haven't checked in to serious and medium teams. It's probably a little early to replace them, even though it would be nice if all the teams were checked in before we started. I think I'm going to have to message them now and give them a little nudge though. I suppose its possible that they didn't realise that teams were up or they're on holiday or something, but I'll message them today ☺

[Jaguane]

Wait is signing up for the individual topics the only way to do this challenge?!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It is ☺ It's done that way so that people can choose which challenges they would like to take part in, as not everyone wants to take part in all of them ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The MMC will officially start in 21 hours, and 30 minutes!

It is August 1st somewhere though, so review threads and the Bonus Fairy Lottery thread are now open ☺

The first round of Non-Reading Challenge will be up when we officially start ☺

(Please remember: if your time zone is ahead of Goodreads time - Pacific Standard Time - http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time... you may begin the challenge on your own time zone, but you must also finish on your time zone. (So if you start at 1am on August 1st on your own time zone, you must finish at 1am on September 1st on your own time zone).

Good Luck Everybody!

[Amanda]

So excited guys

I am currently reading Unteachable by Elliot Wake.
But just now I found out there are other editions where the book has been published under the name Leah Raeder. So which one is permissible to use for the challenge?

[✨Skye✨]

Quick question-with the GBRs, do we have to post it in the GBR review thread plus the team thread/what's in a name/all around the world?

Hi Riddhi, it looks like the book was originally published under 'Leah Raeder', but the author is transgender, and officially changed her name to 'Elliot Wake' in June 2016, so its a bit of a grey area. Which letter were you hoping to use it for?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you want the bonus points for reading a GBR, then yes, you have to post it on the GBR review thread the same way you post it on the other review threads ☺

[Riddhi]

@Sarah, I was hoping I could use it for the letter "E" of Elliot for my board as well as "What's In A Name" challenge.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, well as it's a special case, and both names are listed as the author on Goodreads, I guess we can let you use it for 'E' ☺

[Amanda]

@ Sarah what about when two authors co write a book?

[Amanda]

The book I'm reading is

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Amanda ☺

For the 'What's in a Name' challenge, you can just pick whichever author earns you the most points. (It has to be an author though, it can't be an illustrator, or translator, or narrator etc., and if an author is using a pseudonym then we would go by the name on the original publication of the book.)

For 'Wheel of Fortune' it's very similar, as long as the book meets the same criteria as above, then you can choose which letter you want to use ☺

Girls' night out looks to have been co-authored, so you can choose either of their initials ☺

[Riddhi]

@Sarah, thank you so much.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

no problem ☺
