So we need 577 page points a week? O.o That seems high?

No, that's the right number. It is high. We just need to try and do a lot of BRs and BOMs to double and triple our points. I think it will be hard for teams to reach 7500 points. We'll just have to lose as much as we can while still having a lot of fun.

If I can get to them all I might have like 100 points that first week. I really doubt I'll get to all the books I want to but I'll try. ^-^

This is my first week's plan. About half are BRs in this group. :)
My planned books so farJanuary:
2nd
8th
20th
24th
These are BRS in another group but if anyone else wants to BR them here for pts let me know.
Other books I might pick from and am willing to BR: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Do you have any specific days you want (or not) to read these? I can spread these out over the next couple months :)
The only one I have a fixed date for is...
- 1/5Go ahead and spread them out how you would like to read them...
The reason the weight is so high is because I didn't want people to get to zero. That's the whole reason it was picked. Lol. You just need to get as close to zero as you can.The name of the game is to just lose as much weight as you can. And you will not be required to lose 577 weight each week. That's insane. Lol. The weight lose requirements will be much more reasonable than that.
Also, Book. I do not need the SS anymore after giving y'all the link to it. The SS was not made for planning purposes. The reason everyone has a SS is because each week when you put your books into the columns it will tally up how many points you've gotten that week so far so you will always know how close to reaching the goal your team is. The box that has a zero in it above the 'total' column is where you'll see your weekly weight lose so far. It adds up all of the total points for each book put in there. Obvi, as long as everyone adds their books when they've finished. You team cannot put books in there that haven't been reviewed on the review thread. Otherwise your point tally will be incorrect. The SS is for finished books. Not books planned.
That was a novel. Sorry. Lol.

Alright so that one on the 5th, Give me a day or two to figure out the others. We are also doing a kitchen remodel in Jan so when that happens can effect things. :) Probably maybe 2 more in January and the rest in Feb
Hello hello!! I’m at work so just checking in - but I’ll take a look at the SS when I have more time 😁

No the clarification is good. Especially to only use it for finished and posted books :)

Yes. Sorry. I meant to comment on that as well but forgot. I originally saw it when I was still half asleep. :)
Hahaha. No worries. I just wanted y'all to know so that you know what's going on with it. I suppose I should comment on all the teams chat threads.
Felicia wrote: "Hahaha. No worries. I just wanted y'all to know so that you know what's going on with it. I suppose I should comment on all the teams chat threads."Thanks for letting us know. I know for sure that I'm going to try to get us down to 0. I want us to win!
Also I just got approved for a Disney book on Netgalley!
they are being really generous with their wish it's right now. This is my second one. :)
Hahaha. No worries.And good luck! The reason I picked a number that high was because I didn't want anyone to get to zero. Hahaha.
Felicia wrote: "Hahaha. No worries.And good luck! The reason I picked a number that high was because I didn't want anyone to get to zero. Hahaha."
True. Cause then you'd have to make us gain weight again or something. lol.
Exactly. And that is exactly what I don't want to do. Lmao.
Felicia wrote: "Exactly. And that is exactly what I don't want to do. Lmao."I'll try to keep us on pace so we don't exceed our weekly goal of like 550 page points lol. In reality we'll probably get like 100 but I can hope. :P
Only need two other people and we are all checked in. I can tell this is going to be an awesome team! Plus we will be the chattiest! ^-^
Hope I'm on a team with some of you in the mod challenge as well. ^-^
BTW Felicia did Alaina say when she might be able to do the teams? I don't remember her posting anything about when so I'm wondering if I missed it or she's just been super busy. My bet is super busy. :)

How ya doing? ^-^
Hello everyone checking in! (: I usually read about 15-25 books a month, however like Jamie I have been struggling to find books to read that actually hold my interest. I'm super excited for this challenge though!
Brittany wrote: "Hello everyone checking in! (:"Hi! :)
Oh and Jenny I'm not sure I will be here for the first 'check in'. I'll be travelling that day but obviously I'm here and ready to start reading. lol. Too bad the check in is Monday. That's like literally the only day I won't be on. :P

Awesome. Unfortunately nothing I can BR on there. But great shelf. :)

Okay, so I noticed the Inheritance series or at least one of the books from it is on your list. I MAY be interested in BR it at some point during this challenge. I've been trying to convince myself to do it. My boyfriend loved them, so much so our dog's name is Glaedr. It's just very different than what I typically read, so I feel like if I have a buddy it may push me

Here is my shelf for at bat next - so planned reads in the next month or so...https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I'm good with Jan 5th for it ends with us.
I have a BR set up for the beginning of the month for Queen of Air and Darkness because I was going to try to get Lord of Shadows done before this month is over.. that is definitely not going to happen haha. We can also set up one for the beginning of the month for Lord of Shadows. I will probably get those done within the first/second week.
We can set up a series read for WInner's Curse because I haven't read any of them. I am good with any day in the 2nd week.
Also let's do The Dog Stars sometime toward the end of Jan so like 3rd week.
