Hi Sarah! I read Tunnel of Bones for the challenge and I was wondering if I could claim letters from the name V. E. Schwab though this particular book is published under the name Victoria Schwab. I was just wondering since she writes under both names.I totally get it if that's not allowed, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check :)

Hi Raven, I'm afraid you'd only be able to use V. E. Schwab if that was the name that appeared on the book, and by the looks of it Tunnel of Bones was published under Victoria Schwab, so I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to use the other name unfortuntely ☹

Just wanted to confirmed the ratiio if we mix/match YA/Adult to graphic novels. If I read 300 pages in graphic novels, then would 100 pages in YA/Adult stories work with that to get the bonuses?

I have some adorable pics of Ruby coming up!
This is probably my new favorite picture of Ruby! Soooooooooooooooo cute.
This is the same new sweater as above but full body. Ruby is always asking me why I put her through all this. lol.
Plus it's Halloween so get ready for Rubee's costume! But first her Halloween sweater. It's glow in the dark but I can't figure out how to make that show. Oh and the 'hand' changes color. Again not sure how to make that show....
And finally. Drum roll please. *drum roll sounds* ............................................................................................................................................................................
Maybe I introduce RuBEE. *laughs hysterically at own lame pun* 😂🤦♀️😁😍

Nari, you can post pictures by using this - <.img src="URL"/.> - without the dots, you have to upload the picture somewhere online first though so that you have something to put in the URL bit. You can upload a picture as an extra picture on your goodreads profile though, and then right click on it, and select 'copy image location', and then put that where it says URL. Sorry, I'm probably not explaining very well!

You did really well!
I know I have never read this much in a year before I should have joined you guys a long time ago lol. My TBR list would be a lot smaller. Looking forward to finishing some series with the new challenge. Being in a team really helps me I'm scared I'll let them down so I work extra hard at making sure I can do as much as I can.
Same! Since I have joined Goodreads my reading has just gone up!
Anna 'Bookbuyer' wrote: "Same! Since I have joined Goodreads my reading has just gone up!"It's so addictive and seeing the numbers rise is great......but then I find for every book I read I find at least 5 more I want to read lol.
It's a great feeling! I also find better quality books as well.That is the main problem with Goodreads. Us book addicts always manage to have a never-ending TBR. 😂

Very very true. I'm up to about 315 books read this year. Yet my tbr is still at 750 and I still have books to add lol.
I've only read 130 books this year and my TBR is somewhere around 10,000 ish books long. 🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️😁
