Hey guys! Does anyone here know if I can take bonus points by participating in a buddy read even if I have already started the book?I started The Two Towers this week but only got to 10% before I left it to finish another book, and I just saw that there is a buddy read planned for January and I was wondering if I could join it in order to get the extra points (I know that I'm only allowed to claim 90% of the pages, but does that apply for the BR too?)

My January TBR:
I have planned BRs for
I am also gonna continue reading
as I was not able to finish it in December due to my slump.
Starting with Two can keep a secret by Karen McManus but I’m nearly finished as it’s been my day off haha

I'm re-reading it this weekend along with.. shoot, someone else! I lined up several and now I don't recall who is reading it with me lol. There is also going to be a BR for the sequel starting the 7th too!

No worries, the month has just started. 😀
Elizabeth Emily wrote: "I’ve finished the book can I still add comments to the thread for points?"As long as the thread is still active you can post the comments that is before 7 days from the set date and 14 days after the set date.
If people are still commenting in the thread then it is also active no matter the set date is a bit more than 14 days.
I hope this is making sense.
ive had to dnf 4 books :( i couldnt get into any of them so i went to the library today and grabbed 6 more and hopefully i can get into one of these :(
The FarseekersThe Warrior HeirBlood HeirEverlessAshlingThe Keeping Placestarted the warrior heir this morning and so far so good
I've finished one book and I'll hopefully review it today or tomorrow, but the holiday plague got me so I'm mostly moping around lol
I have finished a book too but I have long shifts at work so on my next day off which is Monday I’m hoping to get another finished and those two reviews up. I also feel crappy today so think I’m coming down with something. 😫

I have read the Warrior Heir and absolutely loved it. If you enjoy it and are going to read Wizard Heir, we should buddy read it together.
Hey guys!Today I finished Dark Matter and already posted it on the review thread, I noticed that the method for picking the letter we want to get is different from last time I participated in a challenge. I believe that now it is possible to choose any letter that appears in the title, is that so? So for example with that book I would be able to take letter R (from dark)? I wasn't sure so I did it the old way, but I want to know before I claim my next read!
Anyways, I started reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and it's really catching, so hopefully I'll finish it soon!!
Hey Luci, yes with this challenge we can pick any letter that appears in the title. With bonus points every time we complete happy new year I believe 😌

You can also use any letter in the series name, author's name or in "by" from what I read

Good to know! I had no idea, thanks Andrea :)
I'm working on The Weight of the Stars and The Brilliant Death and I'm planning to use H and P so we'll only need one more P to complete Happy New Year again!
Does anyone know if we HAVE to use the highest page count? I just finished Beneath the Sugar Sky which the highest for it is less than 200. I'm planning to read In an Absent Dream as well but it has one edition that is 204, the rest are under 200.. I'd rather use the under 200 edition and add them together as I do not plan to read anything else short enough this month to add to the first, just not sure that is allowed?

I'm going to make us a little spreadsheet so we can see what letters we need more easily. I'll send the link when it's ready!
Okay here it is. All you need to do is put your book in the corresponding letter slot! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Great spreadsheet Andrea! Thank you!!I'm currently reading The Two Towers but it might take me a while to finish it, maybe next week...
