Maybe
but its book 3 in a series and I didn't want to go back and try to make books 1 and 2 fit somewhere so I could read it. Granted I'm challenging myself further by trying to only pick books from KU unless I have an ARC or own something already...

+5 bonus points if your chosen book actually has the title 'Roar'
I think the title has to be "Roar" not have the word "Roar" in it.
Ok we seem to be plotting right along for Round 1. So I would like to start speculating and discussing round 2. Heads up I read stupid fast so I'm a 2-3 book a day kind of gal, but I'm not down with rushing anyone, so I'd like to be able to pick up some from other people if I finish mine.. and then maybe start reading for round 2 and just hold off on posting reviews till the team is ready. That being said, what are you guys' thoughts? Can I just rampage through my "possibilities" list for round 2 or do I need to random those numbers as well and hope that we can finish round 2 in time for me to get to round 3 so that I can read everything else on my list? Not sure how you guys want to play "round 2" also, which team members are planning on reading for round 2 and which players will be reading 12 books only?
I read about 40 books a month so I'm good with going on to Round 2, Round 3, etc. I'm also fine with anyone who finishes books faster that works for that round to go ahead and use it. We can always move the other book to the next round.
Awesome! I know Aly reads a lot also! Let’s see where everyone else stands and then we can decide how to play round 2!
Okay sounds good! I've been reading about 40 books a month also
Hi everyone, sorry for being so quiet and MIA, I have exams till tomorrow (included) and then I am free so I'm mostly studying >.<
I don't have a problem with anyone taking some of my spots as I will be a lot slower than the fast readers. However I would like it if you move my books to the next available round so I don't need to change what books I am going to read. Please check with me to make sure I am not already reading the book, or if I have a buddy read that the timing will not be disrupted. I hope this sounds like a fair way of doing it. Please speak up if you don't think it will work.
I definitely think that's fair Gillian. I will check with the person before I read for one of their spots.

Sorry I've been MIA most of the day trying to finish
because I saved it to the very last day in the February challenge 🤦♀️.. Are we all set to start this challenge? It may be the 1st already where some of you are? I still have hours.. so I'm going to try to read one more before Feb deadline rolls around!
I might finish 1 more kindle book, but I'm not sure. I have my audio ready for #10 so we should get those bonus points!
It is already the 1st here but I prefer to wait for Goodreads time.
I just have 2 ARC that I have to read FOR SURE FOR SURE, if the don't match with my spots and you can switch one of yours with me, that would be nice, or we can use it for the second Round

If I can BR anything let me know and I'll try. We can always use the books for round 2 if needed.
I am going to read this one first as part of
33. Read 3 books with 200 - 300 pages. (These don't have to all be read by the same person.)
It is available on KindleUnlimited if anyone would like a quick buddy read.
I'll read it with you - I can use it for another challenge if I can't fit it into this one. Can we read it sometime after/on 3/11?
Jammin Jenny wrote: "I'll read it with you - I can use it for another challenge if I can't fit it into this one. Can we read it sometime after/on 3/11?"Ok I can do it on the 11th I will ask for the thread we can fit it into the same category as 3 books are needed to fill that one I can move one of my books I had in there to round 2
I am starting on my book now and should have it done by 1 (1300) so we get bonus points
Okay I finished a book today but I started Feb 27 - can I count that or only books I started on March 1st?
Hmmm good question. Usually you can count any pages read in the month of the challenge but since this is a description challenge I don’t think it will work that way this time. Usually even if you do get those page points you don’t get to count any challenge specific bonus or description points.. if what I just said makes sense. Lemme comb through the rules rq and see if there is an answer if not we will have to ask Sarah.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "Okay I finished a book today but I started Feb 27 - can I count that or only books I started on March 1st?"* Books started before March may only be used to earn points for pages read in March, and cannot be used to complete any descriptions. We will also only give points on a maximum of 3 books started before March per person.
Thanks! I'll skip any books not started March 1st or later.
I don't know if we have a banked tab, but I just finished a buddy read and I posted it in the possibilities tab. Just fyi
We don’t have one but we need one for sure! I’ll try to figure out how to make one!

(I'm almost done with this.and
I finished a book, I was craving for a short read we can use it for Round 2
if it doesn't work for any of my categories.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "Okay I finished a book today but I started Feb 27 - can I count that or only books I started on March 1st?"I think onlt the ones from March 1st count, but mayb eyou can count the number of pages since you read from March 1st. (if it's still a thing in this group, used to be)
Tiera wrote: "We don’t have one but we need one for sure! I’ll try to figure out how to make one!"Thanks! I can look at it too. I'm not the best with Excel, but I can play around if you need help
I can walk you guys through a banked tab if you want. :)
I can also just do it for you guys if you want. :)
KK. I'll just do it for now and then you guys can 'fix' it how you like it. I can't do formulas but I can make things pretty. :)
That will work! Thankyou so much Book!
NP.It killed my soul a little to do Purple before Blue but that was how you guys had it so I did it that way lol. Oh well it's not like I will be seeing it every day. ^-^
Ok I'm adding
to the new banked tab for #4. It can also fit in a couple other places like #34, or #52. Other places as well but doesn't fit the bonus! I just finished the BR today.
I just read
and I've been legit boohoooing now for 30 mins. Never read it before. Picked it up from Goodwill with a load of other middle grade and ya books for my 11 yo daughter a couple years ago. Now I've made her start it too lol. It was so good, and so sad!
That is an awesome book - and the movie is good too.
