YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

For board 4 I'm doing the books for 'A' and 'N'.

This is probably a silly question, but how do we find out how many bonus points we got for a book? I don't see it in the review thread.

That's not a silly question at all!
So at the top of Sarah's comments on our review page, there will be a spot that says something like: Wheel of Fortune spin = (10) 4 points
that means for every letter your book crosses off, you get 4 points. So your book from Board 3 "Flamecaster" by Cinda Williams Chima crossed off 2 Ws, so you got 8 points all together for that book!
Even then it's OK if you miss a letter or put in the bonus points wrong, because usually I double check all of our points and make sure they all add up every couple of days.

Thanks so much, Kyra! That's great.

What do you think about Poison so far?

Hi girls! I couldn't use my own laptop in this last week, but I have read some books so I've posted the review for the last letter on the board 3, V.

So far it's pretty good! world building could be better, but I'm hoping that gets written about more in the next couple chapters.
I fell a bit behind though this week because my town had a few problems with the fires nearby, but I should be catching up soon!

Yes, definitely agree on the world building.

It is really weird reading this book because it has a my name in it. Every time she does something dumb I keep thinking "no, no, bad me! Don't do that!" hahaha.

I'm trying to catch up with my reads. I'm really sorry D:

I've read my book for Board 5. I'll post my review when it opens.

Hey, no worries! This is supposed to be for fun :-).

Haha, I can only imagine!

Hi guys, I won't do scores today unless you comment on the main thread or send me a message. That way you've got a chance of earning more points if you hit a big number ☺

Awesome, thanks Sarah :)

If you guys need to kick off my books on board 4, feel free too because they are taking longer to read than I expected

We also are coming to the end of the month with 2 bonus fairy's left.. Maybe we should just use one up?

@Kyra which book do you think you will finish first? Poison or The Hate U Give

I will be starting team scores very soon, if you don't want your team's scores totalling, you need to let me know either on the main thread or by message as soon as possible ☺

It doesn't look like Sibil's review for "D" will work on that board so if if anyone else has something that will fit there please feel free to post it.. Sibil maybe your review for can work for "E" on the next board

Feel free to move me from any letters if necessary. I have been slow on Etiquette and Espionage. It's an audiobook which I enjoy, but lately I have had less time than usual child-free to listen to it :p

When Sarah says 'totalling team scores,' does she mean for the whole thing? I thought we had another week or so for reading.

She just means total it up since the last time she spun the wheel for us.. I guess she is giving us the opportunity to post more reviews so that if we get a big spin it will count for more reviews. But it goes both ways, if we get a low spin it could be more reviews wasted so I say let her total ya up whenever she wants

Okay. I do have a couple reviews I am writing. I can try to finish them up quickly now. Otherwise I will be posting them later tonight.

I have a book that can count for D. I'll post it as soon as I can!

posting Poison review in thread for Board 5 letter 'P'


***I'm sorry, I posted mine to the review thread too soon.

I will send a message to Sarah because the book os an Italian one translated in English, not the other way around :)

I'll probably finish first

I put The Girl With the Crystal Eyes for the letter E on our next board (5) since Sibil is already done with it. Hope that's okay! :-) With that and the book I just finished, we already have books read for 8 out of the 12 letters on Board 5!

That's great news!
I also have the letter H already for board 5 and in 2 days I'll have the letter L.

Sibil's book counted for D on our current board, so it doesn't need to be on board 5. c:

I am finished with “I” and will post shortly. Does anyone think we should use the bonus fairy for letter “U” so we can move on to the next board?

Whoops! I definitely did not notice that Sibil's book was used with the Italian title.

Rachael wrote: "I am finished with “I” and will post shortly. Does anyone think we should use the bonus fairy for letter “U” so we can move on to the next board?"

Maybe we should. There's less than a week left in the challenge and we haven't used any, right?

I'll try and complete Alice in zombieland today! I have about 100+ pages left! Which I should be able to finish

Hey guys, go ahead and post your reviews for the books on Board 5!

Rachael wrote: "Hey guys, go ahead and post your reviews for the books on Board 5!"

Thanks, Rachael! Just posted reviews for letters P and M for board 5. I will try to get the review done for 'V' tonight as I have finished the book! :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their reading!

I've finished two of my books but I don't think i can post them in sorry x

Hey guys... It doesn't appear that Floor is using the spread sheet and I don't think she's been involved in this chat much either. I don't think she knows that she took the spot of one that was already claimed but it's ok.. Kyra, I moved Go Ask Alice over to board 6.. We just need to finish board 5. Does anyone have a book they can finish for the Y spot? Or should we use our last Fairy?

Becky wrote: "I've finished two of my books but I don't think i can post them in sorry x"

That's okay.. hopefully they can go on the next board!

I would say use our last fairy since I don't think we've ever had a book on that spot.

I have finished my chemical hearts by krystal Sutherland and the princess diaries my meg can not if they can fit anywhere please can u inbox me n I will post thanks

I meant our chemical hearts not my

Omg so many spelling mistakes * by * and *but*

Okay lets just wait till Kerri posts her review for "V" and then we'll use bonus fairy for the last remaining letter..

Then we will find spots for Becky's books

And cabot.... think that's it sorry tired

Got it ;) We will let you know when the next board is ready

Thanks guys

We won't need to use the bonus fairy to finish off that board. I just finished a book that would work for that.
