This is a discussion thread for Team 5 (you can change your team name).

The people who are on team 5 are:
-Kavya
-Alexa
-Sambhavi
-Ava

Point System:1-100 pages =1 point
100-200 pages =1 points
200-300 pages =2 points
300-400 pages =3 points
400-500 pages =4 points
500-600 pages =5 points
and so on.

your team will get extra points if:
-your whole team buddy reads a book +3 points (each person will get 3 points)
-you write a review for the book +1 points
-someone reads the BOTM +3
-your whole group buddy reads the BOTM +5 (each person will get 5 points)

󲹱❦ (sambhavibihari) i know the long lists seem SO overwhelming but they are just there for whenever we need to look! i put spoiler tags on them just so they don't take up the whole chat space haha there were also some books that were on more than of us's tbr so if you look in any of the common tbrs above i put in parentheses which ones more than of us wanted to read :D
also btw my pronouns are she/her please correct me if i get yours wrong :))

message 28: by Kavya (new)

Kavya Meghwani (kavya_meghwani) | 86 comments heyy ... i just finished the valley of fear and i liked the book.. i kind of have a question
... actually I'm not quite sure.. about the page number of the book because on goodreads it shows 96.. but the book i read have 184 pages also on google it shows 170 pages


message 29: by Kavya (new)

Kavya Meghwani (kavya_meghwani) | 86 comments hey also...i just noticed that one of out team members.. (Alexa) hasn't really replied to any of the conversation....


message 30: by Ava :) (new)

Ava :) That’s a difficult question to answer because the Sarah J Maas book are like that also. I would ask the person hosting the competition. But, if it says you read 170 in your book, then I would probably put 170.


message 31: by Kavya (new)

Kavya Meghwani (kavya_meghwani) | 86 comments ohh okay... I'll ask the person hosting the compition as well once :) just to be sure.

yes it also depends on the edition of the book sometimes they put 90 because it varies from different platforms like a kindle edition's # of pages could vary from a paperback version of the book.

4-5 chapters a day works for me!! the beginning of SOC is kinda slow but it definitely gets more action packed! starting tomorrow works for me :)
