Can every member of this team please comment on this thread to say they are 'ready' before March 1st please ☺

[Tati]

Bring it on!!

[Melanie]

Ready!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Not long now!

[Brooke]

Can't wait!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

☺

[Amy]

Assuming that there's only one Amy taking part then this is my team. Ready! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just the one ☺

[Amy]

Awesome!

Do any of you have a amount in mind for how many books you ideally want to read? :)

[Melanie]

I'd like to read 8-10 books.

[Tati]

I'm planning of reading the same as I read this month, which is around 20 books

[Brooke]

I'm planing on 8-10

[Rachael]

Hi peeps! I'm planning on reading 12-15. Good luck team :)

[Marga]

I'll read maybe more than 10 books! <3

[Amy]

I'll try to read 12 but i'll be happy with 10. :)

Sarah, what happens if not everyone comments and we are down a group member?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We have a plan in mind to compensate groups who have members that don't participate ☺

[Amy]

That's okay then! I didn't want any of the teams to be at a disadvantage. Thanks for replying. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Not a problem, we've tried to pick the teams so that you're all evenly matched ☺

[Tati]

So, we're looking at reading around 62 books so far, from what you have posted.

[Amy]

I did some stalking and simple maths with Sarah and Abbie's reading habits. I think we needed to read 19 books each, at least. We are doomed! Haha. :)

Although you'd be okay with reading 20 Tati! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think Bri has read quite a few so far this year so she might be able to bring the number up a bit ☺

[Tati]

I think that we should focus on shorter books, even novellas, for instance.

This is not the month to tackle a massive book LOL

[Tati]

Oh, and I have a week off work at the end of March, I might read a bit more than 20 books, who knows?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good thinking Tatiana! is 'read now' on netgalley and is only 114 pages ☺
https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

[Tati]

But it's rated 2.75! Don't think is gonna happen LOL

[Sarah Elizabeth]

that doesn't bother me, I nearly didn't read because it had an average of less than 2 stars, I read it and loved it though.

[Amy]

Most of the books I'm reading also have buddy reads, I'm hoping that will help, a little? haha.

We'll just see how it goes! It'll be fun anyway. :)

[Tati]

Yeah, I have 9 buddies scheduled for March!

Sarah, this might be a bit prejudiced, but I usually avoid books that have a rating under 3.50

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie and I may have our work cut out for us. It will be interesting to see how we manage against groups of 7 and 8 ☺

[Amy]

I usually judge a book by it's synopsis and cover but lately it's been taking me forever to get through books on kindle so I might stick with physical copies.

I have seven buddy reads scheduled so far for March. :)

[Abi]

The avg rating doesn't bother me either. I mean, has an avg of 3.74 and that was freaking awful. is 4.06 and I really didn't like that one either.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yep, I think we had about 7 books with ratings higher than 4 for the MMC last year, and I think I hated all of them.

[Amy]

Tati, Here is the thread for The Darkest Part of the Forest - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Looking forward to it! :)

According to Goodreads I've already read 51 books not counting the three I still have to put in since I just reviewed them on my blog! I tend to have a lot of free time even with school :)

I plan on reading at least 25 books next month,so hopefully I'll be able to help bump our numbers a good bit so we can do our best!

[Amy]

Yay, we've all check in. Hi Bri, reading 25 books will really help the team out, we can do this! :)

[Tati]

Yay!!

[Amphitrite]

I hope we can! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thanks Bri ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Well done guys! All members of your team have now checked in ☺

[Marga]

Yay!

Okay. I'll try to read at least 15 books now to be more helpful! :)

[Brooke]

I'm going to try for 15 now, just got a bunch of books that will be fast reads

[Amy]

Don't worry guys, just read what you can! :)

Anyone want to read ? I ordered it because it's pretty short and super cheap on Amazon at the moment.

[Amphitrite]

Ooo, I've been meaning to read it! I think I have a copy of it, but I'd have to check my books once I get home in a few hours. If not I'll just get the audiobook since I have a couple free credits to use.

[Amy]

Ah perfect! :) Do you want to check you have the book first or can we set a date anyway?

I was thinking the 7th of March? Just let me know if you find the book or not. :)

[Tati]

So, how's everyone?

[Marga]

Wow. So Sarah and Abbie already have 12pts and the second day isn't even finished yet. O_O

Sorry haven't even started a book now but I will after our exams on the 9th. I'll read a book per day. XD

[Tati]

I won't be looking at their thread, it's too depressing LOL

[Marga]

And, looking for buddy read for these books:

-Dangerous Girls, Dangerous Boys
-Chemical Garden trilogy
-Splintered series
-Flipped
-On The Jellicoe Road
-Things We Know by Heart, Black Iris, Liars, Inc. (ARCs)

What will you guys be reading this month? Maybe I have them and then we can read them together!

[Marga]

Too late. I'm already in despair. lol

[Amy]

I'm doing okay so far, just over half way through my third book.

Don't worry guys, I think all the other groups are in the same boat haha.
