Also I was gonna read sky in the deep so I could take the d in the first board
I am finishing a book that I started in July. I am going to get points for the pages I am reading in August, but it is not going to fill up the board. Just letting everyone know.

Jaguane wrote: "Also I was gonna read sky in the deep so I could take the d in the first board"There is a "s" available in the second board. You can read it but you just can't post the review until the first board is completed.
Giulia ok that works to or what about the n on the first one?

Jaguane wrote: "Giulia ok that works to or what about the n on the first one?"If it's the one by Adrienne Young it can only count for S, I, T, D, A, and Y :(
Currently you have:
A in the 2nd board - Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
S in the 2nd board - Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young
Ah right only the first letter in the word lol thanks okay thats good thanks guys

On 4th ... this Saturday 😀
@Ellie I see you're looking for a BR for Illuminae, it's on my tbr so we can read it together?
Mara wrote: "@Ellie I see you're looking for a BR for Illuminae, it's on my tbr so we can read it together?"Sounds good!
@Mara I'll make the thread if you ok with the date.
Okay guys, so I'm almost done reading the book The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter, and there aren't any spaces to put it until the third board; so, should I wait to post it, or should we move things around so it goes towards the first board? I'll do whichever works best because this is my first time doing a challenge like this so I don't know what would be the best move :).
So I finished the Goddess Inheritance and I'm planning on reading the Cruel Prince and I know why the caged bird sings tomorrow, so I was wondering how far the rest of you are, and if you would mind if I moved some things around; because then we would be halfway done with the first board???
I don't mind if you move mine around :)
Okay, I am so sorry if I am getting really irritating; but, the competitive side in me tends to come out in these situations. So, I am sorry. But I was thinking, could people fill in the date they plan to start the book, so we can prioritise books that are going to be read earlier, to open another board?? Again I am sorry...
Mara wrote: "@Ellie I see you're looking for a BR for Illuminae, it's on my tbr so we can read it together?"How about starting next week?
Selma wrote: "Okay, I am so sorry if I am getting really irritating; but, the competitive side in me tends to come out in these situations. So, I am sorry.

I was actually thinking along the same lines of reading dates. I bet other teams are doing that too!
Okay, so I'm reading Dream Thieves now, and starting Stars & Stripes on the 5th. Also, would you like to buddy read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings? I was hoping to read a classic this month, and I can start tomorrow!

Hey guys!My friend won't be able to start our buddy read for A Conjuring of Light until the 20th, so feel free to remove my book from the first board if you have one starting with V :)
Maybe we could move Mara's The Vuurdraken to V. I have a few short books that I could read for W instead of Mara's book... We'd just need to ask Sarah to move The Vuurdraken to V if that's alright for everyone :)

That's fine

But we could always try.
what if i read Rogue by Rachel Vincent instead? The book is part of the group series buddy read this month and I can start it tomorrow. Need to finish up another read tonight.

I just finished The Voyage of the Dawn Trader - C. S. Lewis, but it's currently slotted in the third board. Can I maybe switch it with someone? I know A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab is sort of exchangeable, but Nikk the Sapphired Book Dragon also had a replacement? (Though it's not necessary, considering the speed we're finishing the first board).
Mara wrote: "I just finished The Voyage of the Dawn Trader - C. S. Lewis, but it's currently slotted in the third board. Can I maybe switch it with someone? I know A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab is sort of..."Mara, it makes more sense to move your book into the slot since it is already done. So feel free to post your review on the review thread if you haven’t already. I have moved it on the spreadsheet already. I have also removed all Selma’s yet to be finished reads so we can see what we still need to fill
I have removed Selma's E book from the spreadsheet because it wasn't already counted. So we have that letter to fill for the first board.
I have added a color to mark books finished but not yet posted
Mara, I have requested a thread for
buddy read starting on Aug 6th. I'll post the thread here when I get it. Just checking in with you.

No, Sarah told us in the review thread that we won't have to take care of the letters she crossed off :)

Do you already have a buddy read group for the book? (I'm so late/lazy with replying, apologies)
Mara wrote: "khungkhing wrote: "Mara wrote: "khungkhing wrote: "@Mara: I plan to read , too. You want to BR?"Would love to. When are you planning on reading it?"..."
It's ok. I just asked Sarah to add the thread for us. So I guess the date will be reset today.

Here is the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hey guys! I decided to wait until I finish The Dream Thieves before I start Stars & Stripes. I'm almost done so it should only be an extra day or 2, but if someone has already finished a book for "S" and wants to take it's place just let me know so we can finish Board 1! ;)How's everyone doing so far?
@Gabi In case I'm finished with The female of the species before you are with your book, we could swap spaces. I'm currently using it for S on board three :)But I can't promise I'll be done earlier, I'll be quite busy until Friday...
I'm halfway through my H book, so it'll take me at least three more days to finish it
I just start reading my E book ... I think I can finish it by Wednesday if I'm not busy.
Since Nikk has gone to a medium team, I'll remove his/her books from the spreadsheet

I finished my first book for the second board figured I’d wait on the rest of the team to get to board 2 before I start the next book ☺️
Why wait? The more books of the second board are finished, the faster we can get to the third board ;)Letters currently not claimed:
2nd board: T, O, Z
3rd board: R, H

That sounds awesome! If you finish first I'll gladly swap places ;)
~ Giulia ~ wrote: "Since Nikk has gone to a medium team, I'll remove his/her books from the spreadsheet"Another teammate left!?!?
The first board is almost done! And it does look really pretty on the spreadsheet with all the bars full of book titles and colors!How's everyone doing this August? :)
