message 20: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlingreer1234) | 1110 comments I have 157 pages left on the book i'm currently reading! Can that count as my first book for this challenge but only count the last 157 pages? Or does it have to be a book from start to finish to count?


message 21: by akacya ❦ (new)

akacya ❦ (akacya) | 1005 comments I’m pretty sure you can count the 157 pages as long as you specify that when you post it!


message 22: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlingreer1234) | 1110 comments thanks


message 23: by Brigia (new)

Just so everyone knows, I have messaged all those people who have not yet checked in, so we should know who is taking part, and what spaces we have available soon ☺


message 25: by Alina (new)

Alina (alinaisreading) | 342 comments Checking in, I apologize for being late :)


message 26: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlingreer1234) | 1110 comments If anyone wants to buddy read anything for the challenge just put what your hoping to read this month so that we can try plan because buddy reads earn us way more points :)
(I'm very competitive so if i'm getting annoying just tell me 🤣🙈)

Not annoying at all! Being competitive really helps in these challenges lol. We have Flawed (Flawed, #1) by Cecelia Ahern , The Darkest Minds (The Darkest Minds, #1) by Alexandra Bracken , and Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater in common (I compared my physical TBR + your want to read shelf) if any of those interest you (:


message 29: by phi (new)

phi (byuns) | 103 comments I read rather sporadically, but if anyone wants to join me in reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel or Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell soon let me know!


message 30: by akacya ❦ (new)

akacya ❦ (akacya) | 1005 comments I’ll read Life of Pi with you! You can pick the day

Awesome! Maybe we can start on the 6th?


message 32: by akacya ❦ (new)

akacya ❦ (akacya) | 1005 comments Sure! I’ll go ahead and request the thread.


message 33: by phi (new)

phi (byuns) | 103 comments Okay, thanks! Can't wait :)


message 34: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlingreer1234) | 1110 comments @akacya shall we plan Flawed for some time close to the end of the month? I've been in a fantasy/dystopian slump for ages - I've literally only been reading contemporary romance so hopefully Flawed will help me get out of it :)


message 35: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlingreer1234) | 1110 comments I've also got a question - Does the buddy read points only count if you buddy read with people in the group, because I have buddy reads planned this month with people outside the group and just want to know if the points still count?

Unfortunately the rules state that buddy reads will only count if they take place in the group :(
