Hi everyone! I'm super excited for this challenge because I am very behind on my reading goal for this year and almost done with school. I probably won't be very active the first week with finishing up finals, packing and graduation but after that I should be on a couple times a day or more! :)

Hi!

Checking in.

Hi guys :)

Could you explain how this challenge works?

Carolyn wrote: "Could you explain how this challenge works?"

We just have to complete the listed tasks on the main thread. And try to do the whole list as a team.

Thanks. Could you guys tell me which category to read?

Let's wait until our whole team is checked in, then we can decide on tasks.

Okay. I actually might have signed myself buddy reads for all of May. Is that a good thing?

Yeah that's a great thing because each buddy read will give you twice the amount of points than reading on your own as long as you make three or more comments on your buddy read thread.

So far I'm not sure what I'll read exactly except for ACOWAR! Might reread ACOTAR and ACOMAF before that, but we shall see :)

Hello! Very excited for this

Hi Jake, welcome to the team :)

So far I have one buddy read, maybe, lined up.

I have 4, I think. But I usually schedule some more as I go because I do a lot of challenges in other groups that have different tasks week by week.

Howdy everyone! Checking in. =]

We're all here! :D

Yesss! I don't have any buddy reads lined up as of now.

So has anyone done this challenge before?

I think I just lined up another buddy read.

I have never. How do we go about these challenges? Assign tasks or just complete?

Not this specific one but I've done challenges similar. It works best to have somebody tracking who signed up for what task so we don't get confused. We can do that in our progress thread.

I made a google spreadsheet so feel free to put in your books there as well if you'd like. :) I know other teams have been doing it and it will help us plan since the mods control the progress thread.

So far I have these three buddy reads for this month:

You're awesome, Andrea!

No problem!! :) You should all be able to edit it also.

I will add a couple books later today!

Can someone add my challenges? I can not work Docs on my device... sorry :X

Read a book with a car on the cover- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Illustrated edition)

Read a book with a character whose name starts with A- Dorothy Must Die (Amy Gunn)

Read a book with water on the cover- Passenger.

Read a horror novel- Fear

JumaNgi (Book starting with N)- Nerve.

JuMangi (Book starting with M)- Matched.

Read a book with food on the cover- Since You've Been Gone (Ice cream).

Jumangi (Book starting with J)- Joyland.

I will probably read more this month, but I always start with a TBR of 8 books every month, haha. If any of these fit other categories then you can change them, but I tried to fill the categories that A. they only fot in that one, or B. would be hard to complete.

Could you email me the spreadsheet? I can't open it unless I'm on email. It's really weird. Also, I have too buddy reads lined up. Can we read the same book as someone else in our group for the same category?

If you still need someone to email you, PM me your address.

And I think just one person per category.

I'll add them for you.

Mine and Jake's have been added to the spreadsheet.

Thank you Abby! Sorry again for not being able too

Excited to start! Can't wait for finals to be over so I can finally read :)

Question: what category is The Forgetting in?

Carolyn wrote: "Question: what category is The Forgetting in?"

You could use it for tree on the cover. The book I have in that category I could move to BAT in title.

I'm starting off with on audio.

I'll be starting something tomorrow after my last final is done! :D

I'm also trying to finish up a book from last month before I can get started on a physical book. Hopefully will finish that today so I can started on one for this challenge.

Read about half of Nerve! May even finish tonight.

Sounds good guys :)

I started today, and will be starting tomorrow. If anyone wants to buddy read , let me know!

Posted some books on the May buddy read thread. If none of them work out I might reread ACOTAR.

@Andrea - I saw your post. I started last month, but never finished it. I only got about 20% through it, so I can read that with you if you'd like to. Just let me know.

That would be awesome! When do you want to start?

Plan on being over halfway through Dorothy must die tonight, and I also started Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets

Also, sorry about forgetting to use the edition with most pages for nerve. I can't with HP because the illustrated has the car.

You can use any edition, even if it wasn't the one you read.

Oh cool!!
