Yep, any genre, YA/Adult/Non-Fiction, just as long as they have more words than pictures ☺

I'm in.
Are books from other groups' challenges alright to use?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you got to read the book for free then it counts, you only get the bonus point for buddy reading if the buddy read takes place in our group though ☺

[Irene]

I have eBook streaming, do those books count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have no idea what ebook streaming is, but if you didn't pay for it, it counts ☺

[Irene]

I don't, becaue I got an unlimited free membership :) Thanks

[Hadiqa]

I want to participate too! :-) I download ebooks and then transfer them to ipad and read them :-D

A question - Are we supposed to write the book and the review here?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You're added ☺

You post your reviews in the review thread here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
There is an example of how to post them at the top of the thread ☺

[Hadiqa]

Thanks again!

[Hadiqa]

Another question - How do you link the books in a way that their cover appears and when we click on them, they open in a separate window? Been trying to figure it out but couldn't :(

Thanks

Thanks"

In the right hand corner of the comment box, it says "Add book/author" click that, press "cover" (at the bottom of the box) and put the title in of the book you want. Press "search" and then "add" :)

[Hadiqa]

Thanks a lot Abby! :-)

[Connie]

Do plays count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think we've said yes in the past ☺

[Jennifer]

Does stories that are completed in wattpad count?

[Jennifer]

Does stories that are completed in wattpad count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes ☺

[Jennifer]

Thank you

[Kelly]

Is there going to be a 'Freebies' challenge for November beside the Series Read along challenge?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We don't have one planned. We usually wind down a bit november-december as people tend to need time for holiday stuff ☺

Ok, I was just wondering :).

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Still got lots of freebies? ☺

[Kelly]

Sarah wrote: "Still got lots of freebies? ☺"

Yes, you could say that! I don't think I'll manage to read them all but half of them would be a great start. I'll put it on my 'To Do' list for 2015 ;).

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good idea!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You have approximately 35 hours to submit any final reviews for this challenge ☺

[Irene]

Oh, question!
As long as I finish reading my book before midnight tomorrow, it counts, right? So I can write my review after midnight? Because this, I tell you, is gonna be a close run!! :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll probably do the final count at around 10 am tomorrow morning UK time, which I think is a similar time to Denmark. The challenge officially ends at 12am Goodreads time, and they're 8 hours behind the UK, so yes, you have time to write your review ☺

[Irene]

Phew, lucky me! I thibk I still have 400 pages to go!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Blimey! Good Luck!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No, we'll be doing the Series-Read-Along challenge for November/December. We tend to have a more laid back challenge as a lot of people are busy with holiday stuff ☺
