The May Page Count Challenge (Team Challenge) - Sign-ups and Questions

[Heather]

Can't we go ahead and start this? Lol

[Jackie]

By the way, I forgot to mention this but I absolutely love what you did with the team names!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I was just trying to think of something different. I figured we might get confused with more numbers so I wanted to try something different ☺
I might be taking suggestions for June's team names if anyone has any ideas ☺

What challenge is happening in June???

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Not sure yet ☺ I need to think on it a bit ☺

Maybe you could do something involving time? Like ex amount of points for every min/hour, etc. ^-^

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

You could also do some of the challenges on this bingo card. I know we already have a bookish blocks challenge going, but you could use some of the ideas from the squares. ^-^

Not sure how we'd do that really ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We do have several on standby, we might always come up with something new though. There are a couple that I really like the idea of ☺

Ah yes, that is what we had bookish blocks for. We've done a snakes and ladders one and a blockbuster one before as well ☺

Oooh, which ones? :P

Ah, I can't say too much, we've had other groups steal challenges from us before so we can say anything about them until we're actually running them ☺

*squeal* I love both! If I had to choose I like the snake over the hexagon but both sound fantastic! :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We try to do lots of different challenges to keep things interesting ☺ We do re-run some of them though, the series-read-along challenge, the clean your shelf challenge, and the hangman challenge are all really popular ☺ I have a feeling we might re-run 'the chase' at some point as well ☺

[Tati]

the Snakes and Ladders was a crazy challenge! It was awesome, but I kinda went crazy with all the page counting. I still don't know how you keep track of the numbers

[Jackie]

Let's do The Chase again!!

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm still recovering from last time!

[Tati]

it was this insane team challenge we had last month. The teams had to read as much as Sarah and Abby

[Sarah Elizabeth]

This is the chase - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[C.P.]

It was. :)

[Tati]

Yes, Renee. It doesn't matter the edition, nor its language, as long as it's listed either on Goodreads or on Amazon

[sheryl]

just for fun please

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hey Sarah, if a book you plan on reading doesn't have the page count listed on the Goodreads page, can we use the one on the Amazon page? In my instance I have Through Fire & Sea that I plan on reading but Goodreads doesn't have a page count listed for it.

[Jackie]

Yes, as far as I know we are allowed to use the Amazon page count.

[Irena BookDustMagic]

What if I read at my own pace, without buddy reading. Does my pages.still count for my team?

[C.P.]

Anything we read counts, we just get extra points for buddy reads. :)

[Irena BookDustMagic]

okay , thanks! now I feel better! :)

Yep, every page counts ☺

Thanks!

[Beatrice]

Is Guided Buddy read counted as a point for this challenge? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, all of the GBR's will count for a buddy read point ☺

Hi :) i just did but my name doesnt appear so far

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's fixed ☺ I'd added you on this list but not on the individual lists ☺

[Jamie]

So, just to clarify, if I have previously started (but not finished) a book, I can count the pages not yet read toward this challenge?
If so, that will give the opportunity to work on a couple that have been sitting in limbo :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes ☺ As we're counting pages instead of points, it means we can be exact about how much of the book you've read in May ☺
