Can someone please clarify for me what I need to do for participation points in BOM? I finished A Gentleman in Moscow and have made 1 comment on the group discussion though it wasn't filling out any of the questions. Do I need to answer a set of questions, all the sets of questions? Would love to know. :)
Shelby for BOM ....I think you have to answer the sets daily questions. ...how did you enjoy THE BOM? I have it on audio but thinking I should pick up a copy to read
I've recently read two of the three, but I do want to fit in Strange the Dreamer and do the questions. I'm also almost done with my 656 page book and another short one.

I think it is answering all the daily Questions but let me double check with the captains group because I am unsure!
I'll get back to you tomorrow.
I have actually read rather a large stack of books - but I have been waiting to get access to the spreadsheet. I still haven't, although it has been some time since I sent the request, but I might as well write some of them up or the list is going to too long.Book:

Currently I'm rereading Equal Rites
question about BMO participation...does the book need to be read during the time set or can it be anytime in the month....of course also answering all the sets of questions...im asking because I am finally going to be getting The Circle from the library in the next day or so...and that BMO is already done.....
Rosina wrote: "question about BMO participation...does the book need to be read during the time set or can it be anytime in the month....of course also answering all the sets of questions...im asking because I am..."Just for April the Tower Teams can do it anytime during the month, so The Circle is an exception.
Meaning, you can get both the page points, participating in discussion points, and DQ's points, as long as you finish the book before the end of the month :-)
Ok I did some digging to figure out exactly how the BOM's worked as far as participation went. Here's what I found...� Q: What does it mean "Participating in a BOM" ? Answering a set or comment? Or do we need to answer all days to get the 20 points? Or is a 20 points per set of questions?
A:Provided you add to the discussion at some stage through the book. It doesn't need to be answering a set of questions if that doesn't appeal to you. You may just pop over and give some thoughts. It is just one set of points per book
So from that I would understand that as long I've commented/responded a few times it would count.
I just posted my second comment/response to the conversation so should be well on my way to qualifying on those points. :)
Bang Gang finished up 5/16/17. 395 pgs. So with the title you can imagine what it's about....granted there is actually a story/plot and may I just say that when I figured out where it's going all I could think was....train wreck...it's gonna be a train wreck and I was right. My other thought was - with the age of the MC's....don't you think by this time you should be able to talk ....have a conversation about what went wrong and where you're at now. You shouldn't think sex fixes anything.

I was actually surprised at the sex theme, no joke. I had thought guns and street gangs from the title. It's funny how different people can see things :-)

lol - hadn't thought of it that way - oops :)
It wasn't terrible but I'm glad I got it through Kindle unlimited...so no out of pocket money :)

Lol, that's ok, as I said, funny how different people see different things in the same object/subject.
I of course saw the gang bang reference, but I really thought it was meant as a pun and that they would go on from there. Good that it didn't cost you anything but time.
