Ah sorry that's the one I meant! >.< lol
Hi Sarah, just doing some shuffling. Would
be accepted for food? There's a pizza and ice cream in the lettering :P
Mod
It gets tricky when the same member can't do the same description twice!

Let's not go there hahah!
We'll probably stick to shuffling books in hopes they'll fit without doubling :)
Mod
It has come to our attention that certain people have been cutting and pasting other people's reviews in order to gain points in challenges. This is not acceptable, and plagarised reviews will not be accepted. If you are found to have plagerised someone else's review, you will be removed from the challenge. Thank you.
Not to mention it is illegal and immoral and disturbing! Everyone this is a reading challenge, let's have fun! If we cannot trust one another what is the point! I find this very upsetting, and unfortunate.Also you have all put Sarah in a horrible position, which is completely unfair, she has done nothing but been amazing and given up so much of her time and effort to all of us, show some respect!

Wow, that's ridiculously rude! I wouldn't have thought that anyone would even do that... hearing that has made me a little more aware and I'll be keeping an eye out from now on haha.
Mod
Makes you wonder if they have read the book but don't have the brains to form an opinion or haven't read it and just want to look superior to everyone else by 'reading' a lot.
When this challenge began, I was halfway through A Game of Thrones. Can this be included now? ("Game")
Mod
Mod
Who knows.
Sarah wrote: "I'm afraid we can't count books started before June 1st, you can claim the pages read, but you won't be able to use the book to cross off any of the descriptions."Okay.. :)
I'll add update status as well.
Thats so horrible :( The copying of reviews. Its cheating !! Its so sad people will stoop to that level. Guys show Sarah some respect. She's been amazing and given us so much of her time. After all it is a reading challenge
Mod
There is a first time for everything sadly
Exactly! I don't enjoy writing reviews, but it's not hard, you can just write what you think, what you like and don't, instead of stealing others', that is really horrible, don't steal other people's work...

Mod
Okay, I know this is taking a long shot, but I thought I'd ask anyway....Any way these books would count?
:P
Mod
Wow that's ridiculous, can't believe someone would just copy reviews like that!
Sarah wrote: "You could have it towards the 'read 800 pages of your choice'? It's a bit hard to categorise it as anything really."I'll go ahead and do that then - if I decide to read it this month, that is :P Thanks!
If there are many descriptions for one book, we take only one of those descriptions, correct? I'm sorry I'm a bit confused about it.
Omg she even copied the group description for her own group? >.> That's retarded
Wait, what?! Which group, want to make sure I'm not part of it. How even! Oh, and submitting a copied review from the person checking?

This is ridiculous! :O what the hell?! copying a review? that's a NO. NO.

I can't even understand how she could do such a thing!
Wow! This is insane. The worst part is that she called Abbie a liar by saying she didn't copy. Oh, and I love how she took offense to getting caught.
