Sign me up for both just in case the buddy reading doesn't work out for me as I am quite picky while choosing a book.

1-5 books for solo reading.

To be posted by Team Captains as first post of their respective team threads in addition to including the link to the Excel sheet

Only those who read a minimum of 200 pages will receive the participation (tiered) badge.

Books in any language, any genre are allowed provided they are chapter books. Graphic novels, comics etc that are heavy on illustrations and low on text aren’t allowed. Books must be a minimum of 60 pages to qualify. Plays are okay, but we aren’t including poetry at this juncture.

We will also allow FFs/ Online fiction of 18,000+ words OR 60 + pages. Shorter fics can be allowed provided they are logged as the same entry. For eg:

If you read 3 FFs that are 6000+ words / 20 pages each, you will log them as one entry of 18000/ 60 pages.

Please note: You can log a maximum of 5 fics in this manner. Which means if you are reading only 10 page (or shorter) fics, they won’t qualify. You will have to read one longer fic so that 5 fics will total to 60 pages.

ARC and beta-reading will also be included. However, reading or proofreading your own work will not count.

All book formats will count: Physical books, e-books, and Audiobooks.

Tagging the regular readers/ participants--

Thanks for the tag, Madhuri

Sure, I would like to sign up for the August reads. 11-20 books as usual. And yeah sign me up for the Buddy reads too though I'm not sure if me and my partner might have the same tastes..

And yeah, if no one does, I'll take up the captain duties.

Please sign me up for 1-5 books as usual, and I would love to try the buddy read this time!

What about Buddy Read? Please mention that also. Read the first post and mention it.

I did consider that but then thought what if I don’t like the genre as I’m super fussy when it comes to specific genres 😆 If there’s someone into dark or mafia romance as well - happy to be paired 🤣

I want to be paired with QOD or WD so we can read dark romance together.

Happy to be paired for that 🤣
