Hi Teagan, could you give me an idea of how many books you usually read a month? Your profile is private so I can't see, and I need to try and keep the teams balanced x

[Heather]

Is it too late to join a team?

[Stormy]

Hope it's not too late I would like to be on a team

[Wolf (Alpha)]

If you need a backup for any team let me know. If needed I can join a team. If not I'll just stay solo. ☺

I read about 2-4 books a month, it depends on the size of the book and how busy I am.

[Bayan]

I have a question, most descriptions are stated this way
“ * Title contains one letter that is repeated 3 times (must be exactly 3 times). “
Does this mean it has to be only in the title? It can’t be in the author’s name?

[madelyn]

Hello! I’ve got a quick question, if a book contains multiple threes, do we get bonus points for all of the threes that apply?

That would be in the title, but you can do it over the title and author if you wanted to, or just the author's name. Just let us know when you post ☺ You should be able to find a 3 for most books ☺

Hi Maddy, I'm afraid you only get the bonus points once no matter how many threes there are ☺

It just happened that the author of the book I started has 3 Ns in her name so I figured I would do that if it works, thanks

[Sarah Elizabeth]

no problem ☺

[Danique]

Sarah, I was wondering if we can claim points for a book you haven't finished? So I DNF'ed And I Darken, can I still claim points for the buddy read I did and the number of pages I did read? I was reading through the rules, but I couldn't find an answer!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Danique, yes you can use DNFs, you just can't earn bonus points with them. Just let us know how many pages you've read in July when you post on your team's review thread ☺

[Danique]

Okay thank you! So no buddy read points right?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can claim buddy read points as long as you've made 4 comments, the points will be the same as page points ☺

[Karen]

Just wanting to check timings. I’m on UK time, so when is my deadline for July posts? Got ten chapters of an audiobook to finish, and am meant to be out tonight!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The challenge will end at 8am UK time ☺

[Karen]

Thought that was the case. Thanks,Sarah.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I hope you have a good night ☺
