What if my books don't get bonus points?
Which book is it? I think most should count for bonus points but no worries if not, it can still be posted :)

I'll claim Dystopian for the book i'm reading now
Hi Reed. Don't forget to go to this link to post your reviews so you get credit for the books you read. =)https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The very first post shows the format for posting your reviews.
Not doing too badly this month. I've posted three reviews already. I'm about to start a few buddy reads and I have a book from last month that I will be finishing up for page points. I hope that everyone is having a good start to the month. =)
I don’t usually do reviews on the books I read but, ok

I'm sure you can still claim a block for partially read books this month too :)

Doing good Vanessa!! 🎉
Hey Cinthia I have a question about the buddy read for our team .
Do we get extra points if we finish a row/column? Or is it only if we finish a whole grid?
Charanya wrote: "Do we get extra points if we finish a row/column? Or is it only if we finish a whole grid?"I believe just each block and then the entire grid :)
We only need 5 blocks to finish the board! The five are:
Aliens
Death
Halloween
Insanity
Zombies
I am going to be starting a book for death today, but not sure if I can finish it tonight.
I posted a ton yesterday and kinda doubled up on some of the blocks. Oops! I will have three or four books to post tonight though. I had a few days off work and used them to fly through some of the shorter books on my tbr plus a few thrillers and horror books :)
I feel like doubling up is okay especially this early. It gives us a jump start for round 2. I was just posting so we knew what we needed to give us the bonus points. I have been in a reading slump for a few months so I am going alot slower then I usually do in challenges. This is motivating me to keep going though.

I have been in a reading slu..."
Thanks for putting them together, makes it more clear indeed! :)
Same here, I’ve never had such a slow start before! Uni work is killing me but I’m trying to catch up..
Courtney, I hope your slum goes soon and Danique, I hope your uni work isn't too stressful! :)I didn't end up finishing my current read like I thought I would so I'll post my few reviews tomorrow :) It definitely makes it easer to see the blocks we need listed so thank you, Courtney!

How do we make a buddy read thread? I've never made obe before
Reed wrote: "How do we make a buddy read thread? I've never made obe before"
ummm I don't know HOW to make one but I know that if there is one already you can request to have it reset...
do we have a BR planned that I might've spaced out on???

Reed, did you already have someone to buddy read with? With a date? If yes:
If there is no thread already for that book, you can make one by going to the genre of the book and creating one, with the title, author, and date that you start the buddy read.
If there already is a thread, then you can just copy that url and paste into the October Planned Buddy Reads comments with the date for it to be reset.
If you'd like I can check if you give me the title.
Not yet my buddy read partner is not really into the same books as i am which is a problem
You don't have to have the same partner for every book. Each buddy read can be with different people, usually more than one person.
Really? Would you like to be my buddy for the buddy read of The Dog Who Came For Christmas please?
Sure. I just found it. I can start it tomorrow if that works for you?

Thank you! :)
Reed- okay, I will set up the thread a little later and post it here
Hey, guys! How's everyone doing? I posted all my completed reviews last night. --We finished a board! Yay! -- I have a couple shorter books and I'm also reading Mists of Avalon, It (BR), and Outlander that are all over 1,000 pages, so they're gonna take me a minute. lol Should have a couple shorter books finished tonight.
I only have 30 minutes left of
which is a BR. I am also 41% through
. I also wanna try to start
and
today as well.
I know we just got to round two, but figured I would post this. It helps me to see it in list form, and figured it would help other people. So this is what we need to finish round 2 (This includes the reviews that have not been scored yet): Aleins
Dark
Demons
Dystopian
Fantasy
Ghosts
Hell
Horror
Lost
Magic
October
Scared
Warewolves
Witchs
Zombies
Do you guys think a spread sheet would help?
