I thought that might be why. It was like 6 am for you right?

[Tati]

Yes, I was up just before 6am. Hopefully the extra hour helped me catch up a bit!

You are definitely catching up. Just the fun scores and one solo thread and then the overall scores right?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes! Getting there slowly! Down to two fun teams and the individual scores now ☺

[Heather]

[Amanda Setasha]

Hi Sarah, please take me off the medium team waiting list - I'll stay in Solo this month.
I don't think I'll be able to hit the required book count (I started a second job that's short staffed, so I lost a good chunk of my reading time until we hire more people).

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, thanks Amanda ☺ Please ignore the message I just sent you ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, I've messaged those people who never checked in, and I've messaged those people who were on the waiting list about filling in those spaces ☺

[Julia]

I’m new here, am I able to sign up for medium??

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Julia, I'm afraid I don't have any spaces on medium teams at the moment, but I could add you to a fun team, or as a solo player, and maybe put your name on the waiting list for a spot on a medium team if you wanted? Just let me know ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello everybody, I now have a space on a serious team if anybody is interested in joining or switching ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Since my review hasn't been counted yet can I use https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... for Language of Thorns? I started it last month.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'd have to say no, you finished the book like 6 days before the buddy read started, so the dates don't really add up ☹ Sorry x

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Shoot. Okay. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I still have a space on a serious team (Team April) if anybody is interested in switching or joining ☺

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Can I switch to serious? I'll have a lot more reading time in September than I first thought.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Julie, that would be great ☺ I've now added you to Team April -
Team Chat: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Team Reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I will move your points across when I do scores later today ☺

Hey guys! So...I'm new in this group. Can you tell me exactly what's going on in this challenge?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ana wrote: "Hey guys! So...I'm new in this group. Can you tell me exactly what's going on in this challenge?"

Basically you join a team or go solo and read books. :)

[Ana]

By the way...I'm new on this app as well, so how do I answer to comments like you all do?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ana wrote: "By the way...I'm new on this app as well, so how do I answer to comments like you all do?"

On the app you can't. Only on desktop. ^-^

I suggest using @ when on app. :)

[Ana]

@Bookbuyer Alright. Thank you very much. Btw, I'm on my third book, on my way to finishing it. So...do I just say here how many books I read or something?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ana wrote: "@Bookbuyer Alright. Thank you very much. Btw, I'm on my third book, on my way to finishing it. So...do I just say here how many books I read or something?"

Only if you want to be on a team.

Fun - any amount of books.
Medium - 8-12
Serious - 12+

[Ana]

@Bookbuyer And if I go solo? I'd like to do fun if possible

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Ana, it's best to give the rules/guidelines a read on page 1 of this thread, as that should explain things ☺ https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... Let me know if you have any questions though.
Let me know if you'd like to join a fun team, or be a solo player ☺ I'm afraid I don't have any spaces on serious or medium teams at the moment.

Solo you can read as little or as much as you want.

Fun is always open.

[Heather]

Can't wait for score updates!
