Endless Readers discussion

Hello Pumpkin Spice Readers! Lilly will be your team captain but she is currently in school right now and she wanted me to make those post so you guys can log books if you finish. Again everyone will need to read the information below so everyone is on the same page.

✔️ ALL books that are read DURING the challenge, will HAVE TO be between those dates if you want points. (This means that if you are reading a book before the challenge starts you can still log it if you finish it in between the timeframe above.)

✔ ️ If you DNF a book, (Did Not Finish), you ARE NOT ALLOWED to log that book for points.

✔ ️ In order to get the full amount of points for your team when it comes to personal reviews, all prompts - you will need to follow the point system that is down below!

REMINDER TO EVERYONE PARTCIPATING:

We have 6 more days left of this challenge and it ends on October 2nd, 2025 at midnight (according to your time zone.) We will officially announce the winning team on the morning of October 3rd.

EVERYONE will need to have ALL BOOKS LOGGED the night of October 2nd. Remember winning team gets to choose 1 book that the WHOLE TEAM AGREES ON to add to November's BOTM. The chosen book will AUTOMATICALLY be going on the seconded list.

Thank you again for understanding and thank you for everyone who joined and made this fun! Hope to see you at the next challenge.

reminder that tbe challenge ends on thursday at midnight! ive been trying to finish my book but ive been rly busy

REMINDER:

TODAY is the last day to log books and every book will need to be logged by midnight TONIGHT! Anything logged after midnight will NOT BE ALLOWED to count for points. We will be announcing the winners tomorrow morning.

ok so since we won we will be able to create some themes for the next challenge, any prompts + our own team name.

also let me know if you guys would prefer another reading challenge like this or a bingo where you have a partner/group and try to complete prompts and who finishes first wins

Once you guys think of a theme let me know and oh my god I love the t challenge name of Northern Lights! But also would mind a long challenge either!

Sorry I know I am not supposed to be giving input but had to this time!

I think it would be a good idea to have seasonal thanksgiving and Christmas prompts. Holidays do get hectic and will allow more time for people to log books!

I am excited to see the ideas you come up with. I have already started brainstorming some ideas for my team name just in case.

No rush take your time. I know Lilly has been swamped with school so it might take her a little bit to respond.

Yes right there with you!

Ladies have you picked out a book you both agree on for the BOTM yet? Also let me know if you need ideas or help planning the next reading Challenge.

@audrey sorry im just now seeing this!! but i would like to do something wintery for the challenge maybe???

oooo ive been meaning to read an elin hilderbrand book!! a winter in new york and a winter wish also look super good as well

lolll i like that idea!!!

So we aren’t doing the BOTM for November? I’m confused lol.

My only problem with that is what if other people want to read other books like standalone. If we dedicate book 1 and 2 then we aren’t really giving readers a choice.

Okay I guess we can start doing that. You’re right…. Every time we let members suggest books nobody participates.

Hey ladies! BOTM suggesstions are about to be made here in the next few days.. Do you guys have a book chosen?

audrey what do you wanna do

If that’s what you guys decide on then yes I can add that to the BOTM list.

Your welcome!
