Hi!

Hey y’all!😊

Hey everyone! Checking in. :)

Checking in!

I want my team to know that I'll be in Florida until January 24, so if anyone thinks I have missed a post or forget a book or you just think I need to know anything at all, please PM me. I won't be on a computer much due to very bad Internet but I'll be able to access PM's on my phone if I go places. Don't worry. I'll do my part though.

I'm wondering how we want to go about the Standalone books. I know I'll be reading some but the potential for negative points is about 50/50. I went to the wheel and I spun it 5 times and I honestly got all 5 negative points. LOL But I'll go with the flow and do what everyone else wants to. We can include them and chance the points or only post series books. What do you all think?

Lmao, those standalones are scary! But on average, we should get almost one bonus point per book, plus the page points. I think we should post all our standalones. The more we post, the less likely it is we get unlucky every time. What do other people think?

I take chances, so I'm good with adding our standalones.

Yeah I was wondering about that also. Maybe we can all agree to let fate decide and hope for the best when we post standalones lol forgive me ahead of time because I have horrible luck with things like this 🤭😝 Luckily it looks like most of my TBR for next month are series!!

Lol well, maybe my 5 spins set us up for better luck!

Hi!

Checking in! Also, I agree with posting standalones. Let’s live on the edge haha

I have a lot of standalones, unfortunately, although I'm trying to up my series reading as well. Maybe I should put down the book I'm reading that's a book 3 in a series and save it for next week, and get one of my standalones out of the way instead. But yeah I'm good with this plan.

Checking in !

1.

Hi guys! I will check everyone in tomorrow when I get to work. Just thought I’d pop in to say I asked my lovely mod ladies for names for teams. You all have Andy to thank for Tea from The Bone Witch. Although I have never read it I’m sure the character is awesomesauce! ☺️

I have never read it either. So when I saw I was on Team Tea I was kind of like, um, what does tea have to do with anything? But then I saw it was from a series. Lol! Good name 😜

Got everyone checked in! :D

Checking in!

and idk how buddy reads work but I will be reading Children of Virtue and Vengeance and plan to read the Scythe series as well!

Hi Meredes!!
Once you have a partner to buddy read with you can request a thread, sometimes there is an active thread and you can just join that one. here is link

If you can't find a buddy for your books here you can ask the whole Challenge corner. Here is that thread

I'm trying to read both of these in January as well. I am willing to buddy read if you want to. I'm starting a different series BR on the first, so I'll be busy with that for a little while but I have a lot of free time until the 26th and am hoping to get a lot of reading done between now and then.

I would want to do a series BR if we do Children of Virtue and Vengeance because it's been a long time since I read Children of Blood and Bone. There is also a series BR currently up for Scythe and I plan to join in January at Thunderhead.

Hope this helps.

Im here. Will jump on a computer and read through later today

Also will be reading the Women's Murder Club by James Patterson if anyone is interested in joining

Looks like you all are just missing Jennifer but she'll be here eventually. :D

I loved this series but I've read all of them, including the last one: The 19th Christmas. I hope you enjoy the series!

I have read Alex Cross books 1-4, 6, 16, 24.5 don't ask why.
Bennett: Books 1 and 10.5 (I could re-read 1)
I haven't read any of PRIVATE or WHEN THE WIND BLOWS books.

Would you like to do any of the above?

Let me see which i have in those series

Checking in! Sorry, I'm late to the party. We've had a few days without power.

I have no idea what I'm reading in January. I guess I should look into that! LOL.

Weather can do that to you and it is very frustrating! Hope you find some good books!

Crystal,
Aly and I have decided to read that For Fox Sake book/series. So if you wanted, you could add comments to get the BR points. (:

Just reply to your own comment for the book on your teams review thread and put the BR url and I can give you points. :D

Of course girl! Your review was the reason I decided to read it! I absolutely LOVED the Kit Davenport series. It's my favorite RH of all the ones I've read.

Same, Kit has a special place in my heart lol. Can't wait to see if you feel the same way :)

I just posted a non-series book so fingers crossed for points!

Sending good vibes :)

Please let me know if there is anyone on your team that I need to message about inactivity.

Just want to clear something up in case anyone is confused. When posting a standalone you CANNOT post for only page points. (unless you started the book before 2020) When posting a standalone you WILL have to bonus point wheel spun for you to take the chance of getting bonus points or negative points. If you do not want to take the chance then you do not post your book.

OHHHHHHHHHH! Ok.

I like the risk.

Lol of course I'm the first one to get negative points for my standalone. I'm happy it was only by one point though!

Yeah, one point is not bad!
