Notice:

Only an hour left for the submission. The captain has to post in their teams' respective submission thread. All the books read for each round should be in one post. It'll be preferable if you mention the reader's name for each book.



message 38: by Julia (new)

Julia (julia_landerss) | 27 comments How does the only an hour work with our different time zones?

This being the first round, I'll accept late posts. But there probably will be negative markings from the next round onwards.

About your submitted post, you forgot to add the bonus for buddy read for Shatter Me. Though, only Julia and Dipanwita are going to get a bonus of 5 points since Ishi didn't read the book. You'll have to have a more substantial discussion from the next time though to get the bonus.


message 47: by Ipshita (new)

Ipshita (miss_romanceaholic) | 4744 comments Mod
One correction, for Dipanwita's books, Genre: Historical Romance (Clockwork Angel), it will be only 5 points not 6.
