Aashi and Kavya's July Twin Reads Log

July Monthly Challenge Part 1- Twin Reads Challenge

Hello everyone, for the month of July 2021, we are having several different challenges at the same time.

The original ideas for these were suggested by Niharika when our group hit 700+ members, and we had promised to implement it in July. The credit for the main ideas goes to her, but we mods modified the ideas to make it work effectively, as we are a much larger group than we were then. :) Thank you so much for that, we really appreciate it!

We’d also like to give credit to The Midnight Readers as they were the first ones to start the ‘Twin Reads Challenge’, and the credit to the name also goes to them, though we are making some changes from their original challenge.

The first part to this 3 part challenge, is the twin reads challenge. In this challenge, two people will be paired up together to read books of their choice. To keep it fair, we’ll also be asking you to mention your preferred genres of reading while signing up, so that you can be paired with someone who has similar reading tastes. We will be allotting your team member.

Here are the rules for the challenge-

The team can read a book from the following options.

1. It can be a standalone book of any genre.
2. It can be published between 2010-2020.
3. The pair can decide a particular author to read from.
4. The pair can read a classic.
5. It can be with a black and white cover.

Books that won’t fit these categories won’t be counted. The reason for these rules is to keep the books chosen more precise.

The pairs will be expected to read books from these particular options. You don’t have to fit all of the prompts, just one of them is enough. We recommend reading books from the public domain so they are accessible to everyone.

Point System

Completing each book gets +20 points.

We are including points for the page count-

Books between 100-200 pages will have +10 points
Books between 201-300 pages will have +20 points
Books between 301-400 pages will have +30 points
Books between 401-500 pages will have +40 points
Books between 501-600 pages will have +50 points

And so on. Books below 100 pages will not count.

Looks like Kavya is dead but it doesn’t matter

But do Aru shah and the end of time, this savage song, crooked kingdom, 100 days of sunlight ring a bell?

[Hershey]

Does Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe intrigue you? Am I just going to talk to me and myself? How many books are you planning to read? Which prompt do you want?

I think I'll read about 7-8 books i guess.. I'm currently reading shadow and bone trilogy and The Anthropocene Reviewed
I'll be rereading the first book of harry potter series for some other challenge and I would also re-read to all the boys I've loved before trilogy (2nd and 3rd book)

[Kavya]

Heyy i didn't understand one thing tho... Okay so we have to decide one prompt and read all the books acc to that? Or is it like we can read a book for the first prompt and then another book for some other prompt?

[Kavya]

I just saw your profile...uk what... Just today mrng i uploaded on my insta story saying that
"My choices are changing...nowdays sweet guys r like okay okay to me.. a guy keeping the dagger around my neck is what attracts me nowdays... And GODDDDD should i not like the darkling...cause he's so...soo ✨✨. Alsoo judge me all if u want but i don't really know know mal yet so if u ask me rn i would choose darkling over him. Like I'm halfway through the book and there isn't much about mal in it...just from Alina's POV

[Hershey]

Kaz is my haven😌

[Kavya]

As i just read your bio.. I'm gonna go out of topic and tell u this
I LOVE TS❤️ i mean I don't use the word 'love' just like that...like ik it's imp and there r so few artists that i can say that
Thattt artist is like ❤️✨ like they deserve so much. She's a queen dude... I'm currently obsessed with the song 'wildest dreams' it's on repeat all the damn time.. Okay i feel like there is so much we could talk about by just reading your bio... But then i guess we need to decide the books first😅

[Hershey]

Ehh If you read my shadow and bone review, you will know that I dont like Mal, tbh nobody likes mal, they just ship Malina because they think The Darkling is too toxic. I don't ship darklina too because my poor Alek baby deserves someone wayyy better than Alina and no, I am not going to judge you. Darkling is really😌💕🙈👀 Ruin and rising killed me.. It left me hollow

[Kavya]

What happens in ruin and rising ? 🥺🥺 No no no don't give me spoilers... Nooooo.... And i totally agreee also i would read your review after i finish the book.

[Hershey]

I am really glad people actually read my bio. I agree Taylor is one of the most amazing human on this planet and me and many people on gr think that she should run for president. Maybe we DO have a lot in common but yeah, the books.
