We are officially halfway into the games, good job everyone! Brace yourselves for new buddy and group reads and try to join those for maximum points possible!
This also a reminder to please link buddy and group reads threads in your completion posts. Just because it has a thread in the group does not mean you will be granted the points, you must participate as well. Any completion posts without the appropriate BR/GR links attached will not be counted moving forward.
***One more thing--there is a discrepancy in prompts between the game threads and mod spreadsheets. This is, of course, our mistake and we hope you bear with us by adapting your TBRs and changing your completion posts as follows:
Previously → He's got a boat 5: Read a book with a beautiful FMC
Now → He's got a boat 5: Read a 2025 new release
Previously → Honey, Honey, 4: Read a 2025 new release
Now → Honey, Honey 4: Read a book with a beautiful FMC
Ex: if you had a book planned for "he's got a boat 5, read a book with a beautiful fmc" it will now go under "honey, honey 4".
A lot of changes in today's updates so if you have questions or concerns please post them in the general questions thread.
Happy reading!
