Can every member of this team please comment to say you are ready before July 1st ☺

I'm ready!

☺

I'm ready! :)

Ready.☺️

Jackie, you can't escape me ;-) are you in London?

Yes! It's nice being with someone I know. I am in London! It is really late and I can't sleep!!

Enjoy your vacation! I'm never been there, I've never been to Europe at all.

Thank you. I hope you have a chance to come some day because it is beautiful.

☺

I'm ready :)

This game should be interesting because a bit of luck comes into play, I'm curious to see how it all goes!

I'm ready! :)

☺

Welcome teammates! If I'm quiet until July it is just because I'm busy reading ;-) let's have fun in July!

Just waiting for Sibil now

I've messaged Sibil to ask her to check in ☺

I'm sorry! I didn't saw the discussion! :( but I'm ready!

☺

Let's do this!

I need to finish the book I started yesterday, I'm not sure if Paige points even count I need to reread the rules ;-)
Why don't we all start out by giving an estimate of how many books we plan on reading this month, I'm hoping to read at least 20, I read 37 last month, and that is a lot, so i'm doubting that's going to happen again this month :-)

You can use pages from the other books you started in June. You can use the highest page count edition and take the percentage of the book you read.

I just saw that, thanks!
Guys also along with posting how many books, why don't we all post what time zone we live in, I live in Southern California which is Pacific time a.k.a. Good Reads time ;-)

I know you like contemporary books, so would you like to read my life next door?

Sure! When?

Berit wrote: "Sure! When?"

Tomorrow, the second? If not, when works for you?

Maybe this weekend? But you could put it on the second, and I can join you, I think I read a little faster than you so I probably can catch up :-)

Sure, let me ask Sarah to change the thread.

Here you go ☺ - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I hope to read 12 or 15 books... I don't know how many hours I will have to work this months, so I don't know if I could read more... But I hope to read at least 15! :)

Let's do this! Let's have fun! Also there is a bit of luck involved in this game, so even if you read like a crazy person, there is absolutely not a single guarantee
Also 15 books is a lot!

I have 13 buddy reads planned for the month and I'm currently reading 3 books! I'm not sure if I'll finish all 13 by the end of the month but I'll try! My exams finish tomorrow so I'll have more time too!

It's all good! I've just been really exhausted yesterday and today, I will finish this book that will only get us pages, and then on from there!

So good reads to everyone! :)

I've got us on the board in terms of pages with 389/599 for Graceling. I am going to start My Life Next Door now. That will get us a box, a buddy box--and maybe two if I can find an edition with more than 449 pages--and page points.

I have no idea how many books I want to read, I am hoping one for each day! So 31?
I live in the UK, so the timing is GMT I think!

Do you guys think we can catch up to the others?

Aneesa wrote: "Do you guys think we can catch up to the others?"

What is the highest score right now? Also, it all depends on which boxes people have guessed and how much they're worth as well as how much we read. But yes, I think we can catch up if people read enough.

That's an ambitious goal. Good luck!

Madi wrote: "This is late, but I'm ready!
I'm probably going to read like one book because I always procrastinate on my reviews :("

Madi, if you write four status updates for books you read, that will also count in place of reviews. i'm just saying as I had to do that last month while I was away.

Madi wrote: "Does Hyperbole and a Half count as a book?"

Who is it by?

I've started My Life Next Door and hope to finish today.

I finished a book for pages, and I'm definitely going to finish a book today, probably another as well, catching up, it all depends, I don't think the scores the first few days matter at all! So we are fine!
Also there is a lot of luck involved, because of the boxes and picking, and having not a single idea what number is under them :-)

Do you want me to find the highest page count for both of those?

Great job! Did you like I'll Give You the Sun ? I still want to read her other book The Sky Is Everywhere, just haven't got around to it yet :-)

Here's an edition of I'll Give You the Sun with 470 pages. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... 62% of that would be 291.

This version of Looking For Alaska has 416 pages.

I'm just about to start chapter five of my book. :) How is everyone else doing?

I am just about to start my second book and need to review my other one :)
