TEAM Quarterly - Ruby Red Chat

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

This is a great one to join for your first challenge. Page count challenges are one of the easiest. :)

[Jamie]

Agreed. I actually enjoy page challenges. Easy to do but lots of fun. They push me to read more :)

Me too! But not too many back to back. Every once in a while I like a good hard challenge. :)

[Jamie]

No but this works since we have other challenge options to go with it. Which is perfect! I like a mix of a few easy, a few challenging, a few with a random/wild game twist, and many in between. :)

Hey I'm here sorry I'm late!

[Ivana - Diary of Difference]

Hi all - I am sharing my TBR list for January with you. Hoping to read around half of these books there this month.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Let me know if you want to buddy read any of them. <3

[Felicia]

Your team is all checked in. :)

[Aly]

I can't update progress on my currently reading books from my homepage. Are any of you having the same issue? I don't like it.

yeah, same here :(

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Me either. I could earlier today!

[Aly]

I emailed them and asked. Probably won't matter, but I like seeing my progress. Also, what color is the 2019 book challenge? I think it looks black or really dark blue.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Really dark blue with a hint of purple?

[Aly]

Ooh yeah

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

lol. It's an interesting choice. All the others have been really colorful so far. :)

[Felicia]

I know they were doing maintenance on GR on New Years Eve and Day, But I thought it was supposed to have ended.

I also think it's a dark purple. But couldn't they have picked a better color? Lol.

I know right? At least a bright purple this one is dull. :(

I LOVE THE READING CHALLENGE COLOR

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "I LOVE THE READING CHALLENGE COLOR"

What color would you say it is?

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "I LOVE THE READING CHALLENGE COLOR"

What color would you say it is?"

I'm gonna go with a dark plum-ish color. Idk why, but I love a good dark purple color - it reminds me of fall and I typically get a darker colored nail polish around then too.

[Alaina]

Maybe eggplant, if you look at a purple chart.

[Jamie]

Alaina wrote: "Maybe eggplant, if you look at a purple chart."

Yeah I agree with eggplant.

[Alaina]

Jamie wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Maybe eggplant, if you look at a purple chart."

lol yah, especially after I looked at the color chart and it's a pretty color to me.

[Caroline]

Lol, I like royal purple, but that is a really weird “purple”.

And I am so mad about progress updates disappearing from the home page! I used that all the time!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

It's back for me now?

[Caroline]

Ohhhh, me too! Thanks!!

[Jammin Jenny]

Hey guys. Remember to post your books in the team spreadsheet so Book or I can record them at check-in.

[Jammin Jenny]

When we're done... :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I forgot we had to do that lol! I’m a bad co captain.

I should be done a book today it’s one I didn’t finish in 2018

[Jamie]

I’ll be finishing my first book in bed tonight and will post and add to as tomorrow

[Jammin Jenny]

Great! No worries. I'm off to a slow start this year too. I'm a book behind already one my goal LOL.

I'm 2? I might be more now.

[Brittany]

Promise I didn't fall off the face of the earth! Work is super busy at the beginning of the month so I probably won't be reading as much until the end of next week. The weekends are usually when I get the bulk in (:

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I updated the SS with the new page count for you Jenny.

I'm almost done a short ARC book. Should have read it yesterday but oh well. It'll be a day late.

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Book. I was wondering who did that :-)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

^-^

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

We are doing well so far. We'll be up to at least 20 today I think. Maybe even 30. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Added Celia's book to the SS. Up to 20 now!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

SS updated. ^-^

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

One down! So many to go! lol.

ARCS


BRS (Not including ARCs)


Finish 2018 (Although at this point I will never get to these)



NEW BOOKS

[Felicia]

Okay teams. After wondering why in the world no one is anywhere close to the weekly goal, even though there is still three days left, no one is even a quarter of the way to the goal... I realized I was basing the goal I chose on the number of books everyone said that they would read. And then I remember I asked what everyone was going to read monthly, not weekly. Sooooo, I based the goal off of what everyone was going to read in a whole month instead of in a week. That was my bad. Lol.

So going forward I'm going to adjust the weekly goal to not be that high. I'm still going to make it to be a little challenging. Goals will not be like 20. But they will realistically be reachable. As long as everyone reads what they said they would.

This is a learning process for me, as we've never had a challenge with weekly goals and/or check-ins before. Anywho, I just wanted to let everyone know. Thanks for listening to my rant. ;P

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

What will the new weekly goal be then?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm done chapter 1 of Harry Potter. I think one chapter every two-three days will keep me up to date.

I'm also currently reading two books. I'm only about a chapter or so in both

[Felicia]

Anna 'Bookbuyer' call me bookbuyer. ^-^ wrote: "What will the new weekly goal be then?"

I haven't decided yet. It depends how every team does this week. And then I'll base it off of that. The goal isn't going to be the same every week. I'll change it.

[Aly]

I've been listening to the Harry Potter books. I just finished book 5 and I think listening to it was actually faster than reading. The narrator Jim Dahle is amazing!

I'm pretty sure that's who I have as well. The British guy? It's one of the only YA audiobooks I've been able to listen to so far.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Updated the SS.
