Vicki, you posted on Team Gemini's thread on July 1st that you missed entering books and they would have counted if you had entered them at that time. You still had all day yesterday to enter them.

I wanted to make sure you didn't miss out on those points again. I didn't see that message sooner because I was busy all weekend. If I had, I would have made sure you got those in.

Sorry, but no. That is an informal buddy read. I hope you are enjoying the book, though. It is definitely more fun to read a book with a friend.

We both liked it and both gave it 4 stars. We're not used to buddy reads in this group so we didn't realize the difference.

Book Check-in

Challenge rules:
*No graphic novels, poetry or cookbooks allowed.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the theme dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy and you may be creative with your links to the themes.
Standard Rules Apply
Themes
July 1-7 Rings
July 8-14 War
July 15-21 Orcs
July 22-31 Fantasy
*Theme Start & End times are based on your time zone. So each theme will end at midnight in the time zone that you live in.*
