Adding +ya favorite Angel to your team ☺

hi, checking in!

Checking in.

Anyone want to buddy read ?

Or any books on my want to read?

checking in

Just to make sure we just need to read and review whatever book we want, right? There is no prompt or any such thing like we usually have for challenges?

Correct

Finally got a big bonus roll!

Hopefully it will help us.

Finished my first book!

Great job! Always feels great to get that first one knocked out.

So that everyone knows what is happening, I have messaged those people who have not yet posted any reviews for this challenge. For some teams, this is a lot of people.

I'll give people a chance to answer my message or post, but in 48 hours I will be looking to shuffle teams up a bit to give them a bit more of a chance. It's not much fun being in a team where there are only 2 people posting.

Thanks x

@AsYouWish can you copy your books from the Magic Number challenge thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) and post on our team challenge review as well please. That will get us 54 points plus spins for all those books.
Thanks!

Hello, today I am splitting up Team Platinum and moving members to other teams to try and make them a bit more competitive ☺ Each person's points will move with them, and new pinball spins will be spun to add bonus points for those books to the new team.

The following people will be moving to the following teams -

Hi Vendea and Maddie! 👋

Welcome Maddie and Vendea!

Hi all! I'm 20% into 2 books and hoping to finish one this weekend!

Oh I actually have 3 books to post as well lol

I have 3 books in progress. Hoping to get at least 1 done this weekend. Small chance for all three. My reading time will start diminishing a bit for the rest of the month. But will stay better than August in which I will likely read very little.

My reading's also going to drop down from now but I hope to get 5 more books done this month

Hi all and thanks for the welcome! :)

I just DNFed another book yayy a quick one off the tbr lol

This is the way

If anyone has books to post, please do so. It really helps the mods on scoring so they aren't doing a ton at the very end, plus it can give us a bit of hope that we might make the top three. . Please do not wait.

Otherwise, this is getting depressing being dead last. I am starting to wonder if my time would be better spend doing something else but I will keep pushing myself if we can get some reviews up.

To those that have been posting and chatting thank you so much! You make this month so much more enjoyable.

I've been in a slump. Finally finished a nonfiction, but need to write the review as well as one for a fiction.

Slumps are no fun. Hopefully you'll be able to find a great book to pull you back in or able to find another activity to give you a healing break until you are ready to go again. :)

I will post my reviews when I’m home from work. Was kinda hoping for a bonus fairy weekend like last year.

I'm at comic con through Sunday so i won't be able to post any books until i get back but i am reading!

I had forgotten about those! Hmm, maybe post some but keep some too for 1-2 more days... just in case. I am just glad the spin values arent going down. I remember than one from years past, where the high spins become more rare as the month progressed as a way to encourage early reviewing. I think that is what she tried last year too but in a different way.

Hi Team Lead, I have asked Krystal and she is going to join your team from Solo ☺ She's only read 2 books so far, but I figure every little helps ☺
I'll get points moved across ASAP x

Thanks Sarah! And welcome to the team Krystal!

Welcome Krystal!

Thanks for joining us, Krystal! I have two books in progress and six others to post.

I finished another book! Want to get another 2 done this month!

Oh my goodness, all the reviews pouring in! I am re-inspired to read more this weekend. Going to be to try to do some reading with the Dewey readathon but not as much as I might like as I have of training to do that morning and a luncheon that afternoon. But I should be able to get Al least 2 more books done before month end

Scoring during the last few days of the month is always super annoying for us mods because everyone dumps

Sorry Maddie! I’ll post as I finish

Yes please! We try to discourage review dumping!

Done with my last book of the month!

I should get in at least 2 more.

Still waiting to get sucked into the romance novel I started. Hmmmmm

We just took the number 1 spot!! Amazing! From bottom to top. Great job everyone! Now let’s see if we can hold it…

Desperate to finish my last two books now and finish on top!!!! :D It's been a fun month, team. I hope you all had one really good read that will stay with you.

I'm going to be posting 2 partially-finished books and
Priory should get us max points even partially-finished

I'm hoping to finish . I started it yesterday and am eager to finish! 😁
