Please check in by August 1st! :)

Hi team! ^_^

Hi everyone

Checking in!

Checked in up to here.

Hi, Checking in ☺️

Hi everyone! Checking in ☺️

Hello Team!!

I will be reading some books that won't get to count for this challenge because I read them 6-7 months ago, so I want to try really hard to have my other books I read be buddy reads to make up for those lost points.

If anyone knows what they want to read, please post them and I'll hopefully join you if I have them!

I know I'll need to get to these because I have them on hold:




So if anyone would like to buddy read these, let me know! But I'm hoping to get more buddy reads filled up! Enjoy the end of July!

Checking in Thanks for making the Threads Anna.

Well this is my reading list so far. They are all buddies but people can join if they want.

Are we going to use a spread sheet or choose letters as we post

I think it's best if we choose letters as we post, I'm afraid claiming letters in advance may hold us back because not everyone has the same reading speed.

Yep I agree. Plus as we can use any letter in the title or authors name it means that it doesn't matter if we read for a letter and it's gone by the time we post as we have other letters to pick from if that makes sense.

Yes! Also, if the book doesn't have any letter that we need, we just have to save it for the next round.

Not sure yet what I'm gonna be reading, but I really want to listen to these on audio:


If anyone wants to join me, Scribd says they're gonna be available for me from august 4th.

Yes just post as we go I think is best. With the any letter option it should be quick. If we get a more rare letter (q, x,z, etc) that might hold us up we can just quickly discuss it or if you can cover it just let the team know. Any since we are a mixed pace of readers a claimed spreadsheet would be constantly changing most likely.

I hate using spreed sheets because all I do is post tones and then all I can see is my name everywhere. Plus I constantly have to move mine to fill gaps. Then I feel pressured to reads books that I no longer feel like reading as I chose them 2 weeks before and I'm no longer in the mood for.

Exactly!

Oh no, it's no fun to feel pressured to read books you don't want to. I don't mind doing it once in a while but too often becomes a hassle and I have a fallout with reading myself. And when you are one of the stronger readers, it can be easy to feel that gap filling falls mostly on you. We don't want that. I hope you have fun reading what you want this month! :)

Just a reminder to those who normally hold back on posting, we have better chances for the big spins earlier on, so the sooner the better to post when possible.

Yea this is the month you want the letters filled as soon as possible.

Theses are the BR's I have planned so far:

Plus a couple of the GBRs (very limited to what I can get my hands on with libraries closed).

Also if anyone wants to BR anything else with me, I'll be primarily reading books of this shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I can do (this is free on amazon uk) if anyone else wants to read it i just grabbed it.

Plus I can do

Great! My first week is booked but anytime after the 8th is open. :)

Checked in up to here.

I'll mostly be continuing my Anita Blake books. I'll probably start with and just read as many as I can.

There's also a small chance I might be moving end of August so that might interfere with my reading.

Shall we say 10th for freak and 13th for sleepeasy.

@Mummy. Sounds good. Can you request the threads? If not I will request them tomorrow.

Yep I'll sort it.

Both are set up.

Ok so these are the books on my long term tbr if anyone want a to buddy read them in August.
I haven’t fully set a tbr yet, but I’ll post my buddy reads in case anyone wants to join!

- Girls of paper and fire= 1st
- Shadow and bone= 4th
- the Fifth season= 3rd
- Girl stolen= 1st
- Fahrenheit 451= 1st
- Every day= 6th
- burn our bodies down= 2nd

Don’t mind me starting them all at once 😂
Not all of the buddy reads are for this group but if you want to read them with me I don’t mind updating a thread on more than one group 😊

@josie- I can do the book thief. It's been in my tbr for a while now.

@Katie - I can do Station Eleven.

Cool! I think we are doing it on the 4th? No one is really sure 😂

Thank you!

Hey guys!!

Hey Team!

Checked in up to here. ^_^

So since we have all decided that an SS is not for us. I was thinking it might be a good idea if after people have posted we post here and keep the puzzle up to date on our letters. That will minimize doubles. I will try to do that myself as much as possible but I'm not quite as active as I was and I'll be busy with the GBR thread and fairy thread. :)

Good idea to keep up with letters needed for the current title letters.

It'll also help with the switch over between boards. People could also add their 'on hold' letters if they read something and it can't work for the current board. :)

Yeah maybe if you read a book that doesn’t work to the curent title, we can post it here with review, br and page count and whenever we flip someone else can quickly post it I. Their behalf. Especially if that person can’t get back on daily.

That sounds good. :)

I've also posted some of the basic rules on the review thread for quick reference. If you guys see anything I should add let me know. I didn't want to post everything as it would take too long to read each time. ^_^

My TBR for this month:

Okay, so just so everyone is aware the letters we need for the first board title:
A, C, D, E, F, I, K, M, N, P, O, R, S, T, U



***Remember we can use ANY Letter in the title, series, or author names (subtitles are currently waiting on an answer from Sarah), in any language/edition that uses English letters.

My first book will likely be now so I can do U if it's still needed when I finish. It's a hefty book and I am still in the middle of reading my CR. :)

& are my first two BRS starting on the first but they are both good sized books and might take bit. We shall see. I'll look into an audiobook as well.

I think that's a good plan of keeping track off the letters and holding books. I have no idea what I'm going to read first lol. Let's see what I can get read today.
