Team S1 - Chat

[Rachel]

I just posted two last night, one buddy :) and I finished Opposing Sides early ours of this morning so I'll get a review up for that today! Hopefully I'll finish something else today :) and Christina don't worry about it you've read absolutely loads!

[Christina]

Keep up the good work! Two-three more days hehe. It's too tough to beat Sarah and Abbie but I'll be over the moon if we place first in terms of points =)

[Rachel]

Yeah I really want us to be the top team, I'm off for Easter now, although I do have some uni work to do, so hopefully I'll read a fair bit these last couple of days :)

[Christina]

I have planned a few reads for next month. Join me if you're interested!

[Rachel]

I might join you for summer I turned pretty :) my sister just read it and loved it

[Berit]

LOL, that was the one I was thinking I would join you with as well :-)

[Christina]

Yay, you're all welcome to join in :D

I just finished another crappy kindle freebie but thankfully it was short

[Berit]

Well it is crunch time!! I might have, just maybe, spied on the other team close to us ;-) they seem to have a lot of books they are going to be reporting on the last day, no pressure!! We have all work so hard, Sure hoping Jackie is able to post all her reviews well she is in Mexico :-) I'm going to try to get us at least four points within the next two days, I think we have worked so well because all of us have contributed, so much!

[Rachel]

Hahaha Berit that made me laugh! Tut tut spying! ;) I'm sure we'll do fine, I think we've all worked great together! I've still got a review to post for a book I finished last night, and I'm hoping to finish my current book tonight and another tomorrow :) all buddies :)

[Rachel]

Oh and I'll set the threads for young elites and the selection when I go on my laptop to write the review :)

[Berit]

Perfect! I've been spending all morning not reading, but deciding what I should read, so basically I have been wasting time. While I have been wasting time, I have been busy downloading future reads :-)

[Christina]

I have done some spying too! Yes, seems like a bunch of reviews will be posted on last day :S
I waste time deciding what to read too haha

[Christina]

Hmm I'll have to finish sisterhood third book on the 1st of April when there's downtime before the next challenge haha
Short ones here on in xD desperately want our team to win!

[Berit]

I know right? Trying to squeeze in as many short books as possible ;-) think I'm going to do Papertown buddy read for the extra point. Almost done with the book right now, then probably can get at least two more in :-) fortunately my kids are on break so things are a little lighter around here.

[Christina]

Oh my s1 and s2 are doing done serious posting of reviews!

[Berit]

UGG!! I'm going to hop on my exercise bike, and read for the next couple hours. That way I won't fall asleep :-) I know I'm crazy, but it keeps me in shape!! My kids are on break so I don't have to get up in the morning, well not as early as usual. Good luck on our final push! Here's hoping Jackie is able to post well she is in Mexico!! That might make the difference :-)

[Markus]

It is so funny because I just woke up on 31 March, for Berit is yesterday night and for Christina it's afternoon but on a different day.

[Markus]

I am planning on finishing About A Boy today, I wanted to read something that I could finish on the last day for no leftover time, because another book would be impossible. Maybe I'll try another Kindle freebie, but it is a long day for me at school.

[Christina]

I'm going to try finish there kindle freebies by tomorrow. It's pushing it but 6 points might be worth it hahaha. Will lose sleep but Easter weekend coming up! So I can sleep in

[Berit]

You go girl!! And you go Marcus!! You go team!! I am going to stay up and finish this book tonight, and try to read at least one tomorrow. I kind of have to laugh at how crazy we all are :-)

[Berit]

I am almost done! Will review and post with in the hour :-) and then I am going to sleep!

[Christina]

Well done Berit! I hope you enjoyed Paper Towns. I liked it :)

[Berit]

I did, well I am I'm not quite done I'm taking a little break :-) I will finish in a second. We are in the lead by four points I believe :-) Way to step it up all!! Especially Phoebe :-) I think you posted the most reviews yesterday!! We can do this!! I need to sleep!

[Christina]

Jackie and Maria should have some hidden ones up their sleeve hehe

[Berit]

Yes! And hopefully Elizabeth as well, that is why we have done so well everyone has stepped up so much!! I'm done going to go write my very short review and go to sleep :-)

[Christina]

Managed to squeeze in two short ones. I can do one more before sleep haha! I won't get much time to read tomorrow except my train rides

[phoebe]

Hey guys, I'm having family over tonight so I probably won't get another chance to post... I just wanted to say great job to everyone in this group! I'm so glad to be a part of it and become friends with all of you :)

[Elizabeth Emily]

Hey guys I have one more review to upload and then I think that's me done:) just wanted to say well done team and I can't wait to see the outcome later. It's been a pleasure.<3

[Berit]

Thanks, right back at you :-) well currently we are in the lead, I think it is hard to tell, the other team has a reader who seems to post a ton of reviews all at the same time. So, we really have no idea ;-) I think we did the best we could I'm going to try to finish up two books today neither with A buddy. I also am going to my son's baseball game later in the evening so I won't be reading like a maniac all day long :-)

[Rachel]

It's 9.30pm here, so I'm going to finish crown of midnight - only 70 pages left and get my review up :) then i might read one of my shorter books too - if I can :) it's been so fun reading with you all and getting to know you! I know a lot of us are together next month which is great! We're in second place right now, s2 are on 313!!

[Christina]

Great job everyone! I won't be able to finish anymore but it looks like s2 got a boost of 30 points lol

[Berit]

Rachel, wait until after this challenges over to post those books, then they can count next month. We are not going to win for sure! There is no way we can make up a 30 point deficit, didn't see that one coming :-) what can you do? Christina I would say the same for you, even though you're not on our team :-( we did great, they just snuck attack us ;-)

[Rachel]

I'll finish crown of midnight but yeah I'll not start anything new till tomorrow :)

[Berit]

Scratch that, you can't use books unless you start it in the month of the challenge, so report away :-) it won't make a difference, but we tried! I'm not going to report my book, because I need to use it for a different challenge, and if I finish it tomorrow it will benefit that one. If that makes sense?

[Christina]

I'll finish my third sisterhood book :D
Well done!

[Rachel]

At the end of the day we've done our best and I've had so much fun so even though we haven't won I'm still really happy :)

[Christina]

We won as a team in my eyes ;)

[Berit]

Definitely! We work so well the team and really that was the point of the challenge! Hope I didn't sound too bitter in the other thread. Just don't think it was right that somebody can post 33 books and one day, there is no way you can compete against that. And all of you that read all those freebies :-( well will know better next month :-)

[Elizabeth Emily]

I do think that it was a little unfair that they waited till the last minute but I still think that our team worked really well and we should all be proud :)

[Berit]

I am very proud of all of us!! I just have a big mouth :-) and I had to say something. I don't even think it was strategy, it just was, but still it would've been nice. To know so we didn't all go crazy last three days ;-)

[Berit]

I am very proud of all of us!! I just have a big mouth :-) and I had to say something. I don't even think it was strategy, it just was, but still it would've been nice. To know so we didn't all go crazy last three days ;-)

[Elizabeth Emily]

Well, Ive uploaded my last reviews and I am taking a break from reading till the next challenge :)

[Christina]

Dw I mean to be honest a 30 point boost on the last day was a bit pushing it.

[Berit]

We all deserve a break!

[Berit]

Well unfortunately that didn't end as well as it could. I really wouldn't of minded losing by four points, I really don't even mind losing by how many we did lose by, well I think you all know what I'm saying :-) cheers to us next month!

[Jackie]

I'm going to post some reviews right now, but I couldn't post all the ones I wanted. I'm very very sorry. :( I didn't mean to let all of you down!

[Jackie]

Okay, I'm about to post one right now. Also, does anyone know what time it is in pacific time?

[Christina]

I think it's 4-5 more hours till midnight ;)

[Jackie]

Thanks! I might be able to finish my current book. Oh, would ayone like to read Wuthering Heights with me in April?

[Berit]

Jackie, no worries! It probably wouldn't of mattered anyways :-) it is exactly 10:33 here on the Pacific coast :-) hope you had or are still having a good trip.
