[Jamie]

I got 20% into last July but didn't finish, can I start it over this month and have it count?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sure, just let us know that you restarted from the beginning in February and we'll count it 😊

[Sarah Elizabeth]

When you post your review I mean x

[Jamie]

Thanks!!

[HeatherH]

I looked through the rules and did not see anything.. curious about counting books written by the same author under a different name? Would a book by Seanan McGuire be counted separately from one by Mira Grant even though she is the same person?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We would usually only count pseudonyms as being the same person if both author names are on the book/book's Goodreads page, or it's noted on the author's Goodreads profile, or we sometimes accept it if it's on Wikipedia. It's clear on both author's profiles that they're the same person, so they will count, but you'll need to make it clear when you post the review, so tell us that you're counting it as 'Mira Grant' (pseudonym for Seanan McGuire) for example, so that we don't put it down under the other name (you'll need to discuss with your teammates which name they're using if they're reading books by the same author) x

Hi Natalie, I don't have any spaces on medium teams at the moment, but I do need to message some people who haven't checked in yet. Would you like me to add you to the waiting list?

[Stormy]

Yes pls

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Done ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi everybody, just to let you know that those people in serious or medium teams who have not checked in have now been messaged, that's - Lisa (Psycho S.), Ritika (Lovestruck S.), Ashleigh and Izzy (Lonely S.), and Raining and Brindley (Lady S.).
Thanks x

Hi Sarah! I'm sorry for being late but can I join this challenge? I'd love to join either serious or medium team. I don't mind joining for the Just for fun too.

[Maddie]

Hi Beatrice, I believe we'll have to put you on the waiting list for a serious or medium team, but we might be able to put you into a fun team for now? Sarah will have to get back to you though :)

[Maddie]

Medium is still super close! And look at those serious teams flying!

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

Nothing like a close race. only a couple of books and a bonus in it.

[Maddie]

That's for sure!

Sign me up for Fun team at the moment. :) Thank you Maddie!

[Maddie]

No worries, Sarah will get back to you :)

[Aneta]

Hi Maddie, I just posted my review for one of my February reads but it's in Czech language. Should I make a translation of this review and send it to you? I'm not sure if it would count in this challenge if it would be czech review.

[Maddie]

@Aneta: Yes please! Or just include the English translation in your review post, it's easier in case Sarah gets around to scores before me :)
