Hi, Willow :) Hope you have a great first challenge. Give me a shout if there is anything you don't understand :)

Hi, Heather :) We are no longer rivals, haha. Just kidding, I can't believe how close the teams have all been this month

Danii, do you have to write a review on a book for it to count for points? And I saw you have to have like 3 comments on a book for it to count as well? So we would like be commenting on each other’s or?
Sorry haha

Haha! I have no clue what books I will be reading next month except for Love & Gelato and Landline but I’m bound to read others

When you mark a book as currently reading you can either make 4 status updates as you are reading the book or write a review once you have finished reading it, either will count. For a buddy read you can find someone to read a book with you in the 'wanted buddy read' thread or find join exsisting ones set up in the 'February buddy reads' thread. I'll link both for you when I'm on my computer next. On these threads you have to make 4 comments about the book for you to get the buddy read points (double page number points). Did that make any sense? :)

Love and Gelato sounds like such a cute read! I've read Landline but, unfortunately, wasn't a big fan

The only reason I’m reading it is because I have a buddy read for it. Otherwise Landline would’ve been put off my tbr shelf lol. Also I’m reading Caraval for another challenge

Hello everyone! Just checking in! I don't have yet a TBR for the next month, but I'll come up with something in a short time, or at least I hope! :)

Oh, okay. Thanks Danii!
I don’t know exactly what I’m gonna read, but I am going to read Second Chance Summer. Thank goodness for libraries!

*Second Chance Summer

And I just realized it’s Dannii, not Danii. My apologies!

Good Luck Team Chaos!

Checking in. Excited to be on a team with you guys. I’ve always competed against and not with.

Hoping that I will be able to contribute as much as I usually do. This month I haven’t done much and I’m glad that I signed up for a fun team. Wedding planning has taken up a lot of my time this month.

A lot of people like Landline and I hope you do too :) I adore Caraval. I can't wait for Legendary!

Hope you enjoy it :) I was worried I would struggle this month as I don't read much tomance but luckily the categories apply to lots of genres

That's okay! I'll answer to anything 😂

Awww! How wonderful. Congratulations!!! Have you got much planning left to do? I can imagine it being pretty stressful but such fun!

Willow wrote: "Akejdjie I wanna start a book but I want to contribute as best I can lol"

I know the feeling. I'm taking part in the Jan challenge but am excited to read a new set of books for this one 😂

Congratulations Aly!!!

Thanks! I do have some planning left.. I’m stressed still but not as bad as I’ve been. Need to book a couple more things....

That’s why I wanted to do medium in February to push myself to read more than I have been the last couple months. Plus be able to set aside some time to do something that I love.

Days of Blood and Starlight, Dreams of Gods and Monsters and Les Miserables will be Read next month too

Hello!!
Checking in.

Tbr

The way I’m feeling I may be sick the first part of February but that just means more reading time

Heading into work from 7-1 what’s everybody’s first read?

Oh no, I hope you're feeling better now.

Heather wrote: "Heading into work from 7-1 what’s everybody’s first read?"

Oh that sucks :( It's my boyfriend's birthday so doubt I'll get too much read today. I think I'm going to start with getting some of Doctor Zhivago read. You?

Thinking I might start with a Nora Roberts book with a wedding dress on the cover

Actually I’m 8% into that ebook and I decided to start a shorter romance book to get us some points on the board!

Just started Second Chance Summer today. It has a reasonable amount of pages :)
Hyped for it tbh

Didn't end up reading anything yesterday. I'm hoping to get Looking for Alaska read today as it is a BR and pretty short

Looking to finish Under The Lights today before work if not while at work from 2-8 tonight

Looking For Alaska is pretty imo, Dannii

I love John Green so excited to get to this one. Have you read Turtles all the Way Down? That book BROKE me!

Hoping to get tons of points on the board Team Cronus is killing it and my best friend is on that team this month

Ooh are they off to a good start? I've still not read anything this month but will have lots of free time this evening to get some reading in :)

They are off to a really good start and she reads 6 point books all the time

I love turtles all the way down!!!

Willow wrote: "I love turtles all the way down!!!"

Isn't it so amazing. This is really making me want to reread it, haha!

Heather wrote: "They are off to a really good start and she reads 6 point books all the time"

Oh daymn! We've got some tough competition :D

We have major competition anybody close to finishing a book?

I’m going to be getting on it today
