Hi Laurel - just checking as per our spreadsheet we've got 43 book..."
I'll take a look at it!
Edit: We match. I updated everything and we both had 52 books read. I think someone might have put a completed book on your spreadsheet but hadn't done a completion post yet.

We are rolling into week 4 of the challenge, and you all are doing so well!
It looks like some groups have members who either haven't posted their updates or haven't contacted anyone. Teams, please try to contact those who you haven't heard from recently. Life does happen, so no judgment if you're not able to read 10 (or 1) books a week (we're procrastinators for a reason), but participation makes these games lots of fun, even if it's cheerleading teammates on.
I will reach out to those groups who are a little behind in the points (and some of the soloists who missed the teams deadline) to see if they'd like to add some new members by the end of this coming week.
Happy Summer Days

Just in case, this book was published in 2009, but I read the edition published in 2011.

The MC travels through time ever..."That sounds like dual timelines to me but I'd double check with the mods in the Summer Games General Questions thread to see what they say.
Popping in to weigh in: unfortunately, time travel is not dual timelines (there are exceptions, but Oona Out of Order is not one of them).

June is almost over! Great job everyone!
And give a specially large thank you to Mina, who has been kicking ass with all of the buddy read threads!
Since I completely space on this last week:It looks like some groups have members who either haven't posted their updates or haven't contacted anyone. Teams, please try to contact those who you haven't heard from recently. Life does happen, so no judgment if you're not able to read 10 (or 1) books a week (we're procrastinators for a reason), but participation makes these games lots of fun, even if it's cheerleading teammates on.
