Thank you!!

@Erin - Right!? I love our team name. :) Makes me feel so pumped to read a lot in February! I'm also considering reading Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) by Neal Shusterman . Would you want to buddy read it?

@Tiffany - I checked you in! Welcome to the team :)

You're the besttt :) I added it to the top post! So have you guys done reading challenges before? I participated in the January challenge, and it was really fun!

Lee | 1452 comments I have. The last one I did was the November/December team challenge. They are really fun and I tend to get competitive during them. xD

Haha, I'm very competitive too so hopefully we'll take this competition by storm. xD I read 7 books in January, so I want to beat that number this month by reading at least 8.
