Checking in! I was thinking I could read a book for the "P" in Pierce Brown since I'm planning on reading The Wee Free Men by Terry Pracett as my first read
Hello! I’m going to be on vacation for the first few days of the challenge so I’ll have less time.
Plus, for most of the month I’m doing The Floor is Lava challenge in another group. Hopefully books will overlap

Hey! And oh ok, have fun on your vacation!
I'm participating in another challenge too. Have you heard of the magical readathon? I've already planned my tbr according to that, so I'm hoping those books will overlap with this challenge! Fingers crossed for the both of us I guess 😅
Checking in. I will be on vacation from August 9th-August 24th. I am driving from VA to CA, so several of those days will be spent driving and not reading. While I will probably use audiobooks for those days, they are incredibly slow for me so we will see. So, this month will be very ‘just for fun’ for me. But most likely will still read 15-20 books. I will definitely grind the first week of August.
So here are the books I have to read for August, so far. 
These are my physical book except for (Unravel Me), (Heir of Fire), and (Shadow Study) as well as others. I usually try to do any of my BRs with ebooks because it's just easier. I also need to look at the August Buddy Read thread as well.

Magical Readathon, that sounds really fun!
Helloooo Team Exercise Wheel!!! Checking in! :D
For the first board, I was going to read Try by Ella Frank, and knock out the three E's.I'm going to be reading The Unhoneymooners soon too with a friend! No letters in that book for this board, but maybe for the second.

That way we don't stress too much about reading when life gets crazy ;) That's why I joined, since this summer has been busy I've skipped the last few monthly challenges, but this is the Mega Month one! Couldn't miss that one.

Sometimes if I'm going somewhere I'll bring two if I think I might finish the first one XD but make sure you enjoy your vacation too!
Bookbuyer was kind enough to make a spreadsheet anyone can use! I thought this might help with the challenge if we could keep track. I'm not very good with computers, so please let me know if it works alright :)https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Books I'm hoping to get to in August:
and
Oh Maria I JUST finished The Picture of Dorian Gray! If you read it in August let me know if you like it! It’s one of the few classics I really enjoyed
Ok! I'm sure I'll like it. I read a short story by Oscar Wilde once. It was heart wrenchingly beautiful

The Devoted Friend. I recommend it!
Laura wrote: "I am hoping to read this month:,,,, [bookcover:The Fellow..."Ooh, great picks, Laura! I wish I could, but I don't think I'd get to the Two Towers any time soon this year, let alone August.. I hope you enjoy it though! And all the other books on your tbr
Hey everyone! If you don’t mind please add the books you’re planning to read on August to the spreadsheet.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
It’ll help us stay organized.
Can someone add the other wheels as well so we can plan ahead. It's not letting me format it correctly.
I am a spontaneous reader plus my other challenge will require certain types of books. Unfortunately, I can’t plan ahead that much. I’ll add the books that fit once I figure out what I’m reading.
Krystal wrote: "Can someone add the other wheels as well so we can plan ahead. It's not letting me format it correctly."Oh Krystal! I've got The Cruel Prince on hold, it should be available in 2 weeks. Would you like to make it a BR with me? Then I can knock out "B"!
For sure, would love to do a buddy read. Are we able to use different letters for the same book if read by a different reader? We may need to verify.
I’m pretty sure it’s okay! But I’ll send a message to Sarah to make sure :)
* You will only be able to claim one letter for one book (ie: you can claim an 'E' and receive bonus points for every E on your board, but you can't claim both an 'E' and a 'T'.)I found this in the rules so I'm curious to see what she says.
Also added all of the other wheels to the spreadsheet for people who want to go ahead and put them. I will only because once I go on vacation, I won't be on the spreadsheet as much.
Sarah said it was okay! 😁 We’re good! Would you like me to request a BR thread for two weeks from now?
I’m on mobile at the moment but later when I’m on a computer I can add my book to the spreadsheet.
Gabi wrote: "Sarah said it was okay! 😁 We’re good! Would you like me to request a BR thread for two weeks from now?"Oh awesome!!!! And yes, please :)
Maria wrote: "Checking in! I was thinking I could read a book for the "P" in Pierce Brown since I'm planning on reading The Wee Free Men by Terry Pracett as my first read"
I added it to the spreadsheet :)
When do we find out what the first thing we need to spell out is?
It’s on the review page as well as our spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is a few posts up.
Hey Krystal! Since my loan for Cruel Prince is for 2 weeks, but it might show up sooner, do you want me to ask for a BR for the 7th? That way if it gets here early, we can start early, or if it does take two weeks, it's okay to start late. I checked with the rules first! (Can't start a book sooner than 7 days, can't start a book later than 14!)
That’s fine, whichever date you think will work best!
Krystal wrote: "That’s fine, whichever date you think will work best!"Awesome! Thank you!
Hey team, checking in! :DIt's been long since I became really active, but I'm looking forward to this month :)

Welcome! The spreadsheet says you are currently reading one of the books? It won't get counted for the challenge if read in July.

Hey, Fuzaila! Welcome ^_^
Oops sorry i missed the note to say which team I'm in. I'm here now.
Ok I've added 5 books for now. Got to check some more challenges to see if I can over lap. 
If your looking for a book for x this one is free I read it a few months ago so I can't use it.

Last 5. I always set 10 books then I might read more.
