Hello Katherine!

So when you are on the review thread, you'll click the "add book/author" and search for your book. Don't forget to click cover at the bottom, but if you don't it's all good - as long as I know the book you are using.

Then you will add the following,
Review: add the link to it
Pages: (when you click "other editions" on the book's page - you will use the page # that's at the very top of it. So the first book. If there is no page # there, then you can use the one that's right below it or until you reach a page #.)

Does that help?

[Alaina]

OH! And don't forget to let me know if your book works for any of the bonuses! Anything that doesn't have to deal with the page count (because that has to work for the page # you are using for the book) you can use any of the editions for the book you are adding.

So I'm still reading but my reviews are kicking my ass. I will try to do them soon! Promise!

[Alaina]

You know you could just do status updates instead of a review. Might help you out since you don’t feel like writing them.

[Alaina]

Hello everyone! Sorry for slacking on reviews - work has been kicking my butt this week and it's not even end of the month xD I will be adding like 5 books this morning? Plus when I'm not in meetings, I will be listening to books today!! Been having migraines this week so I haven't listened to an audio book since the like Monday? Possibly Sunday? Lol, who knows - just know that I'm back and migraines can kiss my ass!

[Jenn]

Girl you aren't the only one who's behind! lol. I have 3 books, possibly 4 that I need to get written up. Thank god it's Friday!

Haha true! Plus my boss was coming in late today so I was like - HECK YES! REVIEWS HERE I COME!

[Jenn]

Those are the best days haha!

[Alaina]

Jenn wrote: "Those are the best days haha!"

Yes they are! I just have like one important thing to do today where I can't listen to or read books but other than that I will be a reading machine

[Jenn]

I miss being able to be a reading machine at work. I'm still adapting to my new position and it's a lot more involved so that leaves little time for reading at work now -sadly. I mean, how dare they pay me to work and not read at my desk! lol

[Alaina]

😱😱 HOW DARE THEY DO THAT

[Alaina]

Hey guys! I’ve finished some books and they happens to be some buddy reads too! I’ll add the reviews tomorrow morning and see if I can finish some more books tonight ☺️

[Tiffany]

Hey. Sorry I was MIA for a week. My husband got back from Norway (after being away for a few months) so I took some family (and some needed wife/husband) time off. I still read some and I'll catch up with my reviews slowly.

[Hannah]

Ok im all caught up on my reviews! Looking for my next book, does anyone want to do a buddy read?

lol girl I read like 10 chapters last night and the protagonist is a straight up maniac.

[Tiffany]

So my goal is to read On the Come Up this weekend ... I think I read it is triple points

Does this mean the page points are triple ... or all points including bonus are triple?

[Celia]

If anyone wants to BR I am reading , and my next read will be

[Tiffany]

I feel bad that I will only be able to read 3 or 4 books this month. :( I am trying real hard to ensure that the ones I read are getting bonus points though!

This month has been crazy for everyone. I'm trying really hard just to make my way through my fourth book, and of my four so far I have read one novella under 100 pages and one reread. So really I've only read two books that count. In that I've read one book that I set aside as my May TBR, out of the five or six I set out. Don't feel bad.

[Jenn]

Hey guys, just got back from Florida but wanted to check in! I have three books finished that I just need to write reviews on and I'm almost done with the 4th!

[Alaina]

Lol I have to write reviews and buddy comments. Been slacking on this but I should have that all done by tomorrow morning 😊 it’s end of the month which means I’m working longer hours but I am wfh tomorrow. Woohoo

[Alaina]

Hello Team!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have messaged members who haven't participated or checked in all month for each team. Each person was asked to let me know if they are still participating or not. I have also noted this super important statement in all the messages:

Please note that I am not allowing a review dump for anyone who hasn't participated or posted the entire month on the last day of this challenge. If you do that then the books won't be counted.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask me.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

So I have now posted two of my 8 or so reviews. I am really sorry it took me all month guys. I was a really shitty teammate this month. :(

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I have to go to puppy class now but I'm hoping to make myself write all my reviews/status updates when I get back and then I can post them over the next few days.
