Coreen, can you let me know how many pages you read in January? It looks like you were up to p332 on December 31st.

I think maybe 100+ pages? Is that not allowed?

It's okay to start books before January, but you can only claim the pages which you actually read in January ☺

Hey abbie :) there's an edition of Lady Midnight with 832 pages. Will that count? Even though the edition that I read was only 698 pages?

You can use the highest edition, no matter how many pages yours has, but our max points per book is 6, so anything over 600 pages you'll get 6 points for. :)

Review-https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... ( I gave some heavy spoilers in the buddy read and in case my sister or some friends read my reviews I don't want to give anything away. I will rewrite a review with spoilers if need be. send me a private message and let me know I need to do that. If not thank you. I would hate to make them mad if I spoiled the book for them.

Sarah, I did a buddy read with Vernie and left you the link but I didn't get the point for it. I did finish sooner but only because I took it to the hospital while my daughter in law had her baby or I would probably still be reading it. Did it count? I have the link to our buddy read. Thank you. I know you have a lot on your plate running this challenge so I thought I would make sure I did everything right

Yes it does count, sorry, I just missed the link ☺
