And it does get the bonus"I didn't see the Bonus until Tiera said it, and no worries there is always R3 for me :D That's why I asked, I would never take it without asking :D
Just posted Rebecca so we are done with Round 1. We can start posting our Round 2 books now :)
I filled in some of the blank spots with books I plan to read by the end of the month.
Posted my books I had read already for round 2. How are we splitting up the books that are left over?
I have this book that will fit #29 I will start reading as I expect you are all asleep.
Im awake trying to get my reviews posted.. Either I went through and rated some of my books and never reviewed them even though I can definitely remember reviewing them.. or goodreads has lost a couple of my reviews. Ive searched every edition and even went back through my blog to see if I had posted those books to it of course I hadn't. I remember writing the reviews though.. maybe i dreamt it. Either way i'm trying to get it sorted out lol going to have to rewrite the review for The Iron King.
I entered a book I'm currently reading in one of the open spots. I'll post my reviews tomorrow for Round 2.
Ok i have 2 that I found that were BRs that were rated and not yet reviewed but I did do the BR comments lol. It was while I was on vacation so maybe I tried to write the reviews on my phone and it didn't save like I thought. I'll get them rewritten and post the rest tomorrow. I was afraid the comment box was going to time out like it does some time and then I was going to loose all the ones I had already put in to be posted,
I also had a case of cerebral flatulance and and banked one of my books in a spot it didnt fit because I was going by the series name and not the actual title of the book 🤦♀️
. The name of it isn't royal trials lol. So now #18 is open if anyone wants to grab it. I've moved it to the round 3 banked sheet since i couldn't find another place to stick it.
I will write my other reviews tomorrow. And I think I will switch my already read book for 50 to R3, and use the next book for that category so we can get bonus points
I am almost done with my current read, btw.
I'm fixing to loose my shoot. This is the second time I've written my review of Cinder and now my review and my rating have both disappeared! What is happening here!
Oh nevermind I found it.. I had to click "other hardcover edition" whew.

NP. I'm so excited! It's team day!
Hello everyone! So in terms of R2 and R3, I think I'll only have time to read two more books this month (Children of Blood and Bone and Tash Hearts Tolstoy), I know I've got the space for Children of Blood and Bone on R2 so just a heads up that I'm hoping to finish it by the 28th, if that's too late, I'll keep reading it and I can use it for R3!
Alex wrote: "Hello everyone!

I already have 2 books banked for round 3 that I couldn't use round 2 and that was my own fault. if we finish round 2 by the 28th that should give us a couple days still to post all the round 3 books!
Sounds good everyone! I'm going to post my R2 books today, and I'm finishing up the one I signed up for on R2. I plan on reading 17 books if I can by the end of the month - I know high expectations but if everyone in my life and my RL can just LEAVE ME ALONE, maybe I can do it??
Right Jenny! how dare RL! lol i feel the same way all these work people blowing up my phone all day I can't get anything done!

I just have to finish one more book and I am done with my Round 2, then I am reading my ARCs and fitting them to R3 and R2 open slot if they work.
I posted all my Round 2 books. Couple of questions (I'm still fairly new to this)For #33 - should I post my one book on its own or do we need a team post that includes the books/reviews/pages from Aly, me and Edit A in one post?
There are several spots still open (15, 17, 25, 27, 38, 59). Are those just first come first served? Or are we splitting them up some way? I have books I am reading this week (or at least planning on reading) that should work for #38 and #27, and I might have read or be reading a book one of you have given up on.
Here's a link to my currently reading and at bat shelves:
Currently reading: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
At bat: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Let me know if you see something that works for #25 (teammate gave up).
I say first come first serve on the open spots, or if you have something specific and you know you can read it in time write it down. go ahead and post #33 on its own and just mark it as #1 of Description #33. Sarah will know whats up shes amazing.
I'm not going to get to post the rest of mine tonight it will have to be tomorrow. Been working on a closing all day today and it was my daughters bday so I'll try to get them finished up tomorrow. Currently reading
for #35 should be done with that tomorrow as well so I'll add it to the pile lol.
I rarely ever DNF books let me go back I think I found one for Alex earlier in the challenge that she may not have used.
Tiera wrote: "FOUND 1! 
I DNF'd at 55%!"Found IT! Pretty sure its available on KU if you have that.
I'll give it a shot! I downloaded it from KU and will try to squeeze it in by Sunday night.

Sorry, I just saw Tiera replied but in case anyone needs ideas for R3 as well :)
I'm starting a book for #15 :) I will definitely be done today
I found a book for #12 that I can start today or tomorrow depending on when I finish my current book. I'll add it when I start in case someone else wants to read for that before I get to it.
Ok I'm starting
for #59. Should be able to post all my reviews as soon as I get home to a lap top! Well except for that one because I'm just starting it lol.
It seems every number is taken now so lets just work on finishing the new reads we took on and getting all our reviews up so we can move on to round 3
Ill go through and update the spreadsheet to show which reviews have been posted when I get to my laptop as well. its too hard on my phone to maneuver
Hey Jenny I have the warrior by Sarah fine I can put in your #42 spot banked if you want me to post it!
I can also put the seeker by Tate James that’s banked in your #51 slot
I actually already posted books and completions for #42 and #51. Are you talking about R3? If so go for it.Right now the only numbers I have that I haven't finished are #25, #27 and #38. If you have something that fits one of those go for it.
Check the review thread. Unfortunately anything started in February can’t be used for the descriptions but if you let Sarah know how many of each books pages you read in match you can still get page points for those books. We just need to post something else for those description numbers. At least it’s not a loss when it comes to collecting points!
I’m pretty sure it’s the same with “bonus” in any challenge. Like if you start some April reads in March you can get page points for the pages you read in April, but you won’t be able to claim any bonus points for the letters or publish date etc.
Sorry guys. I just saw that in the review thread. I'll try and figure out the # of pages read in march to get points. Here are the #s currently open from my debacle:"2. Read a book which has the letters 'L', 'A', 'T', and 'E' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the word 'late' in the title.)"
"45. Read a book which has two letter 'R's' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the title 'Roar'.)"
"51. Read a book which has the letter 'J' in the title or author's name.
(+5 bonus points if instead of having the letter 'J', your chosen book is tagged 'Junk')"
62. Read a book by a male author.
I got 2 things banked that fit 45 and 51!
Hey it’s no problem Jenny it’s happened to us all
