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.
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

I have books picked out for the year categories that I *hope* to get to, but I have so many buddy reads that I'm not sure if I'll get to them. If I have a reading month in July like I did in June - then I should be able to. Regardless - we are doing so good!
