Team S1 - Chat

[Christina]

For a second there I thought I wasn't S1 anymore but for April's challenge I won't be with you guys anymore :*(

[Berit]

Sorry! I should have worded that better :-) bummer!! I think your team looks good, but we are still going to kick your booty :-)

[Christina]

Haha we shall see ;)

[Berit]

Just started My Heart and Other Black Holes, no hurry, I will be there when you get to it :-)

Just a little FYI Elizabeth, Marcus, and Rachel, you are on the same team as myself and Jackie, for next month :-)

[Jackie]

Awesome. I will try and get to it soon.

[Berit]

Do you have spring break next week? My kids do so right now they are doing projects, projects, projects!

[Jackie]

Yes! I will be off school on Friday as we are not doing much so will read/review then. I get on a plane Friday night and will have time at the airport to read as well.

[Berit]

Are you going on vacation?? Or to visit colleges?

[Jackie]

Vacation to Cancun.! i'm going with family so it should be fun and relaxing.

[Berit]

I'm jealous! Have fun!

[Jackie]

Thanks. What are you guys doing?

[Christina]

There's an election this weekend and I will probably watch Insurgent in the cinemas =D

[Berit]

Don't have any plans. Although I am taking my daughter prom dress shopping Thursday, and will also find out on Thursday if my son got into his number one school. He has gotten and everywhere else he applied, but this is the one he wants. So, fingers crossed :-)

[Jackie]

What is his top choice?

[Jackie]

Christina, where did you say you liv e

[Christina]

Sydney Australia :)

[Christina]

@berit Fingers crossed for your sons first choice! Hope your daughter also finds the perfect dress :)

[Berit]

Thanks Christina! His first choice is Berkeley, they have elections on the weekend?

[Christina]

Yep, everyone over 18 has to vote. It's compulsory or you get fined lol

[Berit]

Wow! That is so interesting, everyone has to vote. I wonder what would happen if they did that here? I remember one time we went down to Mexico and it was election weekend and no alcohol was being served all weekend. That was pretty much the reason we were going to Mexico, because the drinking age there was 18. What is the drinking age in Australia?

[Christina]

I think it's 18 too!

[Berit]

Well good night to you my friend! It is good morning for me :-)

[Christina]

Indeed I'm tucking into bed ;) have a good day

[Rachel]

These time zones are so odd, night time for Christina, morning for Berit, and early afternoon for me :D

[Berit]

I know right? I need to ask when the official changeover from March to April is, is it in your own time zone, or a specific time zone? Is April fools day international?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The official times for the challenges are based on Goodreads time, which is 'Pacific Standard Time' - http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time...

Results for this challenge will be posted shortly after 0:00 on April 1st Goodreads time, which is when the April challenge will officially start ☺

[Berit]

Thanks for answering that! So, we have you all until midnight March 31 my time!! Don't you dare forget that Christina :-)

[Jackie]

Is there a way to do group messaging on here?

[Berit]

I have no idea!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

no, you have to message people individually ☺

[Jackie]

That's horrible! I wish we could somehow group message so we could create one for this team!

[Jackie]

Berit, do you want to buddy read pretty little liars book one next month? Are you at all interested in the series?

[Berit]

For sure! Yes I watch the show ;-) well I haven't the season, but I like to binge watch it.

[Berit]

Christina will need to go pop in on our new teams posting and say hello :-) I don't think there any rules against that ;-)

[Rachel]

Jackie, Berit, can i join you guys reading Pretty Little Lairs book one please?:D

[Jackie]

Of course! When do you all want to start?

[Berit]

Let's do it in April, I have really overbooked myself this month :-) and we are all on the same team next month as well. Pick a date and let me know ;-)

[Jackie]

Do you guys want to read just the first book or the whole series? there is a thread to start the first book on the fifth. It is in the series thread but if you want I can ask the mods to create a thread for the first book only. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Berit]

The series is just fine :-) it will give us choices ;-)

[Rachel]

I've got the first 4 in the pretty little liars books so I'm good!

[Markus]

I could read the second one.

[Berit]

Hello everyone!! Just letting you know I am reading The Lost Wife, a historical fiction book, I have really been wanting to read. Sorry, no buddy this time.

[Jackie]

Don't apologize! You have added so much to this team

[Christina]

Will try to get four read this weekend

[Berit]

I will try for 3+ the book I'm reading right now :-) I can't believe March is almost over :-(

[Christina]

It was pretty quick. I think next month I will tone it down because this month was all about chasing Sarah and Abbie! Next month I shall be reading more books I want to read ;)

[Jackie]

I wish we could still keep this thread next month so our whole team can still talk. :(

[Christina]

I'll drop by your thread to post comments haha

[Sarah Elizabeth]

This thread will still be here, we won't delete it ☺

[Markus]

Christina, did you read the second Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book as well? If so, I could buddy read the third, if you're free.
