I was thinking both. But since a few people have already checked in it wouldn't be right after the first post.

Felicia wrote: "Oh shoot we totally forgot about the solo participants. Maybe we should make them the Solo X-Men or something?"

I usually just name them solo but I also usually forget to make their thread. lol. Oops. :P

lol going with the solo x-men!

I can edit my first post if you want. :) Or it can just be added in with the teams names.

Or Alaina, you could just update your first comment to include the reminders? And then we can include it again when we make the review threads?

So does this work?

**NEW RULE** For this 2-month challenge and our upcoming June one, we are doing something a little different. At the end of our Series Quarterly Challenge there will be one winner that wins a prize of getting to choose a book from bookdepository.com. They can pick any book up to $10.
For this to happen, we will be combining the points from this challenge, our June challenge, and our Series Quarterly together to pick that winner.**

yea I was going to add it my post

Perfect!

And the new pages rule too.

oh I thought that one would work more with the review thread but I can add it to the chat as well

Just review is fine, if you think. I just hope people realize the new rule change. We're gonna have to make sure we check everything now.

Before if I updated the scores I just kinda believed people wouldn't cheat or anything. I never checked page counts before. Terrible mod, I know. Lol.

lol I sometimes do that.. especially if it's like 2am and i'm exhausted

I like that we're changing it to the most rated though. Because some page counts are like obnoxious. I seen a book that Rae read in YA she posted the biggest page count and it was like 1,600 or somewhere around there and the next highest was like 4x less in pages. That's a little crazy. So I like that we're switching. Makes it more interesting. :D

yeah plus it would be way easier!

Definitely. I hate searching through like 10 pages of books for the highest page count. Lol.

yeah it's annoying plus it will be easier to see if everyone is actually picking the right one too

Right! I haven't been doing scores lately. Just been letting you. Lol. At one point I started updating because it had been a bit since you had, and I got like halfway through and was like fuck this. I don't feel like doing this. Lmao.

It was crazy intense on this thread for a bit! Now back to reading again. Lol. :D

Felicia wrote: "Definitely. I hate searching through like 10 pages of books for the highest page count. Lol."

Sometimes it can be 100 pages for classics. :/

😂😂😂 yeah I try to update once a day. Maybe more if I can but work and being sick was kicking my butt.

We added almost 200 comments to this thread today! Lmfao. We're crazy. :D

I loved the crazy. :(

Holy shit. Lol. I am not a classic book kinda reader. So I've never seen that many pages before. But damn.

It was like when team Sausage was first created. We've slacked off a bit on the chat now. ^-^

I'm not either but I look up page #'s for others a lot. You can make it a bit more manageable by changing how many books are on each page. I like to get in a grove where I kind of unfocuse my eyes. Helps me get through a lot faster.

That;s why it's so good that we're changing! It'll make it so much easier on us to check things out.

I love classics! Some of them anyway. Mostly British ones.

It's been a little slow at work and I'm kind of out of it, so that was why I was on earlier. The crazy on this thread was fun.

almost have the review threads up for the monthly! just have solo left then I can do the new quarterly one. unless someone wants to put that up

lol jk I can put it up :D

and everything is up! phew!

Lol. Yay! (:

You still have "Comment to sign-up and with any questions about the challenge." in the post for the series challenge. :P

And should we change the 'books read' column to 'book points'. Since technically that's where we would put the book number in the series points?

lol awkkk...

Same with the post for my teams reviews. So probably everyone elses teams too. Hahaha. :D

double awkkkk lol I blame the lack of coffee! changing that now and updated books read to book points for the quarterly

No worries. It's all the reading you have to do to catch up! It's messing with your head. Hahaha.

I can't wait for you to get to Insatiable. I'm only 17% in and it is hot af already!

haha yes! now I'm trying to catch up on BR comments then I'll get to reviews! Just did Midnight Hunter <3 now I'm trying to type up comments for a BR in YA that I finished earlier this week xD

omg yes!

This is probably a stupid question. But whatevs. Lol.

What do we do for the series challenge when it's a novella and is like the .5 of a series. Like ACOFAS. Will we give 3.1 points for that book because that's what GR says it is in the series position?

I think novellas only count for page points?

I think we usually only count the novellas for pages.

Ohhhhh. Okay. Gotcha.
