I'll have to check it out! :)Also, we're really close to taking first place. We're only about 40 points behind team Worm!
I'm sorry that I'm not able to update much. I'm only really able to do so on my days off but I promise I'm reading. :)
Hey guys! So sorry I haven't been posting much. I'm usually more chatty than this lol. I have been having a few problems with my eyes, but I have been listening to my books via audio. I'm a little behind on my buddy reads schedule (I prefer to stick to the dates I set ) but I assure you I am reading even if I don't post my reviews. (major review procrastinator over here 😂) Will try to post my three outstanding reviews this weekend. One of which is a book i started last month, Sarah said we can still claim those points and it doesn't even have to fit under a prompt!
I see we still have a few spots open on the spreadsheet. I would take some but I already have like 16 books set.
Are any of you doing the ‘april’ challenge? It seems much easier than this one so I joined a serious team!
Happy reading everyone!
@Azrah and Elizabeth, I wouldn't worry about posting much so long as everyone is reading and we all get our books posted by the end of the month we are good. So far we are doing extremely well if I must say so ;) I thought I would struggle with this challenge because it's been hard for me in the past to pick and schedule books I'm going to read but I think because it's a group effort I'm actually finding I enjoy this. I am doing the April challenge but again just the Medium team, just in case. I have so many authors I auto-buy and read that I don't want to do a serious team in case the books don't fit the requirements.
Anywho good work everyone, I think we are kicking this challenges' butt and can't wait to see how we do in the end!

It looks like everyone is reading from the team scores Sarah posts and we're doing really well in the challenge. I think we broke 200 points the other day, which is great!
I joined the April challenge on a fun team. I usually sign up for medium but work is supposed to get crazy for me next month so I'm not sure how much reading I'll be able to get done. I'd love to be on the same team as you guys when I sign up for medium in the future, though! :)
I have three books left to read for the challenge this month. It'll take me longer to read The Way of Kings, mostly because it's over 1000 pages, but I'll get it done!
I finally finished The Way of Kings! I'm starting
now

Let me know if I should remove mine?
Hi Crystal,That’s because when I first put the book onto the spreadsheet I got confused over the original title rule. My fault as I just couldn’t get my head round it. So I moved it there as I couldn’t find anywhere else to put it and I was halfway through. I’ve now finished the book but if you can see anywhere else I can put it I don’t mind where it goes as long as we get the points. Sorry I didn’t update the planning sheet, I must have forgotten.
@Crystal I'm not sure, but your book might count as 70. As far as I could see it's the last book in that series

That’s completely fine Elizabeth, plus the book only counts as 1 point so I’ll see if I can put mine somewhere else, thanks for letting me know 🤗 #18 is all yours!
@natalia unfortunately it’s only the last book in the series for now so I’ll throw it in somewhere else’s if it’ll fit. She’s one of my auto read authors so I couldn’t help myself lol
Thanks Crystal, sorry again 😌
I cannot believe how quickly the end of this month has come around.
I can't either. This month went by so fast!
It really did go by fast lol. Which reminds me if anyone is not going to finish or has spots they weren’t able to fill let me know, I’ve read a few I can try to squeeze in the missing spots!
I think I was slightly ambitious with the planning spreadsheet so I’ll have a look:)

this weekend. It's over 17 hours, though, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it in time. I'll let you know by the end of this weekend if I can't get it done so you can take the missing spot if possible!
I’m not going to get to number 14 so you can take that one:)
I've had a few family things come up this weekend and I won't be able to finish all the books I planned. I've read 11 so far + a book 1 started last month and I'm busy with another 2. Don't worry klancy I will do insurgent : )BUT I will not be able to complete some prompts. I'll go remove my name from the spread sheet.
@crystal what books do you have that we can fill up spaces?
Theres something wrong with my sheets app and I'll be unable to get to a computer. Can someone please remove me from the spread sheet for prompts #24; #29 and #63
(I already started 63 but the book was so bad I'm probably going to dnf it : ( )
Thanks

I removed you from the ss! What book were you reading for 63??
Thank you Klancy! It was an ARC called postcards for a songbird.March flew by so fast! I'm glad next months challenge is more simple
So I’ll take #14 but I also am reading and almost done with
if I can find somewhere to fit it in. I’m also trying to finish a novella for #63. Seems I got more into this challenge near the end of the month lol. I still think we all did phenomenal considering the challenge some of these prompts required.
I'm going to finish the 2 books I'm currently reading and maybe if I have time read another one, but we'll see how that goes.Does anyone know if Kate is still participating in the challange?

Cool. I know to stay away from that book then. XD It has a really pretty cover, though! I'm also really glad that next month is more laid back. I feel like I have more books to choose from to read for the challenge
@Natalia - I'm not sure if Kate is still participating. She posted a review a while ago but I haven't seen anything from her after that
Maybe someone should message her and check? Or tell Sarah
Since it's been two weeks since you heard from her I'd message Sarah. She won't be able to do anything about it but she might get a hold of Kate. :)
Anna 'Bookbuyer' call me bookbuyer. ^-^ wrote: "Since it's been two weeks since you heard from her I'd message Sarah. She won't be able to do anything about it but she might get a hold of Kate. :)"I can ask Sarah about it!
Any word on Kate. I can fill one of her spots (#65) but don’t wanna steal it if she’s still working on it 🤷🏼♀️
I know that Sarah messaged her but I haven't heard if Kate has responded
Klancy wrote: "I know that Sarah messaged her but I haven't heard if Kate has responded"Thanks klancy, I’ll wait till the last day and add it to the reviews if we don’t hear back from her.
Update: Sarah said that Kate hasn't answered in the past 48 hours and it says on her profile that she hasn't been on since March 11. So I would just go ahead and take #65, Crystal!

Guys I'm worried I won't be able to finish #8. Read a book with a building on the cover, or a book which has the word 'city' as part of its title. If anyone had something to fill #8 please do. We'll get 10 bonus points for finishing that level.
I'm busy with insurgent at the moment for #20.
I'm so sorry guys. The beginning of the month I was on a roll but the end of March has been busier than I expected 😔

No worries Azrah considering there were 5 of us not 6 I think we did exceptionally well considering. I had a lot of fun this month, maybe we’ll get to do it again sometime. Good luck for April’s challenge everyone ☺️
