I'm in! Is this the same as in the other group? The one a lot of other groups are also participating in?
No. This one is different. It's just our group.
Add me Courtney, I'm ready to go!
For the "reading sprint" category the sprint must take place within our group. We will be hosting some specific ones to give everyone a chance to participate, but you can also set them up yourselves using this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and then post the link with your review.
I'm not too late to join am I? This sounds fun!! :)
Definitely not! Feel free to chat/plan with the rest of the participants over on that thread.
Results!Our winner for the Olympic Challenge is Dawnie! And our random winner is Bookbuyer! Congratulations to you both and thank you everyone for participating!
