Hi all! just checking in :)

Hi guys :) I'm looking forward to reading with you all.

This challenge actually looks so fun and I'm looking forward to it!

Hi everyone. Im checking in.

Good Luck!

Good luck to you too, Wolf :)

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to see this team, everyone here are such crazy fast readers! And getting Jennifer and Tiera in a team together again is insane. Do you guys ask to team? Because surely Sarah would split you up, you're so quick. Glad I'm teaming with you guys :D

Plans for next month:
(series)
Will be finishing up as well.

The rest is kind of up in the air for now, will join more BRs later for sure though. What are you guys reading?

I only have and planned right now.

However, I might do with Maddie if it comes in with in the time limit. and are planned for this month but might get pushed into June.

I also wanna do these books if I find buddys: , , . I will add more later.

I might do Steelheart too, will just see hat happens. And I can wait for you for Grave Mercy Courtney. Either way, the thread is still active for 2 weeks after the last comment on it, so you could always read it when it comes in.

Okay we will see I have it on hold so hopefully I get it doon. Its set for the 9th right?

Are we doing a spreadsheet?

I haven't figured out what tasks my books fit for yet, but we should be able to figure out what needs reading for pretty easily with the way Sarah's tracking things.

So from what I remember, we have 4 different time periods, and in each time period there are different zones. So if we read a book for each zone within a time period we get 10 bonus points. If we read a book for each zone for each time period, we get a trip to the random generator which will give us random bonus points. So I think that should be a priority for sure.
And we can reuse descriptions

Yeah set for 9th :)

I'm not sure, I'm really bad at them. I don't see why we would need an ss as we can reuse descriptions, and the way things are tracked should be fine. And we'll talk about it here anyway.

We can reuse descriptions? Thats wierd for one of these challenges!

so far my only buddy read is and if we don't read this month, then too. I also might join in with .

Also looking for buddies for and .

Yeah, from what I read we are able to reuse descriptions as many times as we like.

Checking in.

@Shar: At the pace I'm going, I'll still be reading Curse So Dark and Lonely next month, so I'll do that with you even though I've already started. And yes jump in with GoT! I'm still going strong with Priory and Well of Ascension, so I'm basically doing a day of each haha

So happy to be paired with all you guys :D I think we have a really strong team! I also have a pretty free June so plan to get so much reading done!

I love how many descriptions there are for this challenge. I think it almost every book could fit there. I think it would really be worth trying to plan our reads, if possible, to fill as many zones as possible. 10 extra points for each four books read will add up so quickly.

Here's my reading plans for June. I'm going to use this post to track my reading throughout the month but let me know if you want to do any BRs :)

@Dannii: Yes we can totally smash out next month. It's my last month of challenge for a while, so I wanted to make it count. I'm down for Allegiant (and Four if you do that one as well). I'm also doing King's Cage and War Storm, so those'll be good points. I'd like to get to the Abhorsen books but not for a while.

I'm not sure how many books I'll read, but will easily hit 12. When I get on a roll I do an audio a day, so hopefully I start out strong, who knows.

@Maddison I got so dark and lonely out from the library but didn't feel like starting it this month so I'll join in with you next month.

@Dannii ooo let me know when you start so I can join in with the buddy read!

@maddison my library recently got an audio app and I've got Scribd so will hopefully be able to listen to lots of audios too. I'm training for a marathon and running is prime audio time :)

@shar I'll let you know :) can't wait to get to this series!

@Shar: Sounds good!

@Dannii: Idk how you run and listen XD That's not motivating for me. I mainly listen while I drive, but also next month I'll be playing Candy Crush as well to smash them out. I'd like to do more romance/smut/new adult as audio rather than fantasy, as that's just confusing.

I'm here!!

Hey Dannii I'll tag along on with you guys.

@maddison I'm pretty new to running and music has stopped motivating me on the longer runs I've started doing. Audios help me not feel like I'm dying 😂 As long as I've already started the audio befire the run, even if it's just one chapter, I tend to be able to focus well except for adult fantasy.

@tiera Ah yay! I'm so intrigued by this book. The author wrote it when she was only fifteen, apparently!

@Dannii: Yeah I even struggle with the more intense YA fantasies, as I like to re-read things there.

And hey Tiera!

Hiya Maddie!!

Are we wanting to use a spreadsheet or not worry about it? someone in the main chat made theirs public so we can if we want?

I don't mind, someone else can decide :p

Unfortunately I'm going away for the weekend, as it's a long weekend here in NZ, and I won't be reading at all until the 3rd or even the 4th. So sorry, but I'll make it up to you!

which public holiday is this? I didn't even know but that's probably because it's study break next week

Queen's Birthday I believe? Not sure XD Another holiday is great

No worries, Maddison :D Enjoy your break!

I don't mind about the spreadsheet either, I'm an awful decision maker haha. I'm happy to use it if you guys want to :)

I made a copy of the spreadsheet and I'm gonna use it for myself as a reference and if anyone else wants to join me in the spreadsheet they can haha

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I'll add my info on there too :)

As there's only a small gap for books to be added by each description, perhaps we could add all our books on there, once completed, but remove them once we've managed to earn the extra 10 points for completing all four zones in each sector. I hope that made sense, haha.

yea that makes sense. I think that will work. cause once we've completed the 4 descriptions they don't really need to be there.

I think I'll just add books on there as I go, most of my audios will work just around challenges and what tasks we need.

My first book of the month will be a reread and so can only count for one challenge - Medieval Zone - Skill - Read a book which you have read before. Apart from that one I think most of my other reads can fit multiple challenges.

DAMN!!! This team is awesome sauce!!!

Checking in!

Hi Jennifer 😊

Hey Jennifer!

Jennifer ❤️ I’m working on my June list! What day do you want to pick up that Olivia ash book?

Hey gang!

I'm reading these books for June in another group and would LOVE to have buddies here in YA....if anyone is interested. I admit I haven't looked into how they will fit with the challenge, but I'm confident that with all the categories, they will fit somewhere.


and then these are KU (Tierra??) :
