How will you know which books we have read? Are we going to have to comment the links on a thread?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, you'll need to post links to your review +/- buddy read, the same as with all of our other challenges. We'll then keep track of the points for you ☺

[Rachelle]

I'll do it just for fun! I have spring break next month so I know I'll be able to read a bit. This challenge sounds too much fun to pass up :)

Like poetry books like shel Silverstein

[Rachael]

Ooh I'm in! *serious*

I think his books have illustrations, so I think they'd fall under the 'books with lots of pictures' rule. If there's one that hasn't got illustrations though it should be okay ☺

What would define serious?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Serious means that you're going to read as much as possible and support your team. Probably somewhere in the region of 2-3 days per book?

[Jackie]

I wish I could do serious, but with school I have to play fun. It'll be more like a fun/serious but more on the fun side. This looks like a great challenge!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay ☺ I'll add you ☺

[Kate]

There has been a change of plans. :( I just got offered a job for this coming month so I won't be able to play serious.

I'm sorry but I'll have to change to "just for fun". :(

Oh dear! I just read that as 2-3 books per day!! :D

Congrats on your job, Kate :)

Okay, hope the job goes okay!

[Tati]

Gaaaaah, curious to see the teams

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Ah yes, Abbie and I will have fun sorting those out! I think we're planning on February 26th, but we might do them earlier depending on how many people are signed up ☺

[Berit]

I've noticed you girls read a lot of books, how you do it I have no idea :-) are we competing against the two of you together? Then I think we need to be one team versus you ;-)I think I have read around 25 books so far this year, thought I was doing well until I saw your number :-)

[Tati]

Berit, they are reading machines!

However, I do think that the other serial readers we have in the group might be able to beat them as a team of 4 or 5 LOL

[Berit]

LOL ;-)

I guess that this is not a good month for me to re-read any of the Game of Thrones books LOL

Haha, yeah, it's against the 2 of us together. :)

Yes, teams of 4-5 vs abbie + sarah ☺

I spend most of the day reading, other than doing housework and looking after my four-year-old ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

In the January challenge we had 243 books read by you guys, and Abbie and I read 115, so you definitely have a chance ☺

[Berit]

Well we have our work cut out for us then :-)now I'm really looking forward to this ;-) definitely going to be a challenge for me, which is good!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I need to get down my review pile. I'm swamped.

Haha I had to re-read it too!! 1 book every 2 days is right up my alley. I'll play serious!!! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sorry guys, I obviously didn't phrase that well! You're probably looking at reading 10 or more books during the month if you're playing *serious* ☺

Okay guys, Abbie and I will be picking teams soon! If anybody still wishes to join, or needs to change from serious to just for fun, or the other way round, please let us know!

(If you are playing *serious* you should be aiming to read at least 8 books during the month)
