RULES

*Team Roles: Assigned categories can be divvied up however each team would like. Keep in mind that for a team to complete a category, only one member of the duo needs to read a book for that category.
*Page Count: Unless the category you are completing gives a specific page count, there is NOT a minimum page count for this challenge.
*Format: You can read any format you like (eBook, audiobook, print, etc).
*Genre: As long as your book matches the instructions for the category you are completing, you can read any genre you like (picture books, poetry books, manga, travel books, fiction, nonfiction... anything goes!).
*Read Dates: You can use books you've started reading at any time, however you must finish the books on or after the challenge start date.
*Rereads: Books read for this challenge must be books you are reading for the first time (no rereads).

So, as long as you will be finishing your book for the first time during this challenge, and your book works for the category you are completing, go for it! :)

Megan, I can do the double letter task. Need to read Falling for You. :)

Spreadsheet I made for us: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Thanks for making the thread, Melanie! I excited to do this challenge with you. :)

I'm not sure what book I'll start with first, since the challenge doesn't start until June 12th, but I'll let you know once I pick one. :)

Haha. I'm feeling somewhat the same way. I *think*I know what I want to start with, but the 12th feels so far away and I don't know if I can stop myself from reading certain books until then. ;)

Same! If I pick one now, I know I'll probably want to start it so it's best if I just choose then. :)

Hi. I tried to sign up for this a few days back but don't know whether I succeeded. I read 5 to 10 books a month and would like to sign up for the beginner's category since I've never done this before. I don't have a partner. Thanks!

Mother, yes you did. Your thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

You're welcome! :)

Oh, and BTW, my name is "Mother Melania." I just realized that it just shows up as "Mother"

Megan, since the challenge starts in two days, I'm going to hold off finishing the review books I'm currently reading. I should have these three done on the day the challenge starts because of that. :)

- *Read a book with a water on the cover
- *Read a book that DOESN'T have the words "A, An, or The" in the title
- *Read a book with a mode of transportation (car, boat, bicycle, etc.) on the cover

Megan, do you have any biblical fiction review books? That's the one that is tough for me.

May I ask a dumb question? What is a review book?

A review book is one that you got sent in the hopes that you would give your honest review of the book. The publisher or author usually sends them. You can also get review eBooks from NetGalley.

Oh, I see. That makes sense

Megan, I've finished a few more books. Posting now. :)
