I think this will be fun, does anyone have an idea how many books they want to read next month? My plan is around 20.☺️
I've read about 29 this month so far so my plan is 30/32
Great Elizabeth! I think we get extra points for buddy reads, I am planning on doing a few of those as well.i've been saving my shorter books for March☺️
I've not done many buddy reads, I've only done two. We'll have to put what we want to read down and if anyone has the same as someone else or has that book as well, we could do buddy reads if everyone wanted too
I haven't really got any short books, I don't know why but my eye seems to catch pretty covers and big books☺️
I've always liked longer books, it is just recently I have developed an appreciation for a shorter book!☺️
I think putting down what books we want to read it is a good idea if we want to buddy
I'll try to read 10, but school might get in the way.
No worries! I think I read barely anything during my college days!☺️
READY!!!I'll try to read 20 books but I'm a teacher and here we are starting our school year so I have a lot to work :(
I didn't do any buddy read this month but if you post the books here I can look for them with time...
I can read in English and in Spanish
I will have at least four full days to read because of spring break. What is everyone planning to read?☺
Elizabeth, that is a good idea. If there is a book a few of us want to read we could set up a buddy read in this group. I am generally up for any and all suggestions.☺️
I think we should get our TBRs ready and just see if we have the same books! Also, does a buddy read have to be within the whole team or how exactly?

The buddy read can be within the team, but it doesn't have to be.
Well, my TBR is:Fly by Night- Francis Hardinge
Tiger's Daughter- Torey Hayden
Slam- Nick Hornby
Just One Day- Gayle Forman
Can You Keep A Secret- Sophie Kinsella
About A Boy- Nick Hornby
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Shock of the Fall- Nathan Filer
Dot. Robot- Jason Bradbury
Legend- Marie Lu
Prodigy- Marie Lu
Will Grayson, Will Grayson- John Green and David Levithan
By the way, do we have to start the books in March or can we start earlier and finish in March?
Markus wrote: "By the way, do we have to start the books in March or can we start earlier and finish in March?"Books need to be started and finished in March to count for the challenge. :)
Marcus, quite a few of the books you mentioned are already buddy reads in this group. I also want to read A prodigy, so maybe we can set something up. Do you know how many books you want to read altogether?
I'm hoping to read around 15 books in March, I've already got some buddy reads planned for March as well :)
Awesome! How many books do you intend to read next month? I think if we as a team can set a goal for around 130+ bonus buddy reading points, we have a fighting chance. It amazes me how many books those girls can read :-)
Perfect :-) I think our total right now is 95 books we intend to read!
Ready! This is my first time doing one of these so I'm not exactly sure how to do the whole "buddy read" thing but if anyone has ideas I'll be glad to join :)

Thank you so much, that helped a lot! The only question I have is for The Chase challenge do the books all have to be read in buddy reads or can we read individually too?
You can read individually as well. Buddy read just give you an extra bonus point

Nice to see an active team! I'm ready
Markus- there's an existing thread for will Grayson will Grayson. I will be joining in that one. Hope we can buddy read that!
Christina wrote: "Nice to see an active team! I'm ready"Great! This team is now good to go when the challenge starts. :)
Such a good book!WGWG , I took a look at all the ongoing but he reads for March and signed up for the ones I either own the book already for or was really wanting to read.. I think if we all read what we intend to, then any buddy reading points will be a bonus :-) I wouldn't stress on the whole buddy reading thing.
Mod
How many books are you going to read Christina
I think if my math is right we are now at 110 books intending to be read :-)2people haven't given a number yet, so if they each read at least 10 we are at 130! Plus any extra buddy reading points☺️I know we are supposed to be serious, but I say we need to also have a lot of fun!
I agree, serious but fun at the same time! :)
Definitely at least 10. I'm still getting a list together of what I plan to read!
Do buddy read points count or just the number of books?
@Jackie Does it count to beating the chaser? Do we read more books than chaser or get more points than the chaser? I'm a bit unsure
Eg how would it affect the team if I only did individual reading as opposed to buddy reading ? Hope I'm making sense
As I understand it you get 1Point per book and an extra point if it is a buddy read with in this particular group.it doesn't need to be with the team member, but it has to be in this group. Does that make sense? So, yes but he reads help.
