We can do it two ways -

Read during the month and then talk about it in the last week or so of the month

OR

Read-along - do one chapter a day and then discuss it.

I realize we'll end up reading a few duds, and it may not all be something we like, but it will encourage us to expand our reading habits and the discussion is always fun! I'm part of a read-along Book club on FB and it's been fun so far. I have read books that I would otherwise never pick up on my own, and surprisingly it's been good fun!

In case you guys forgot, we're starting the challenge from tomorrow. So please ensure you've got your log posts reserved in the thread

Read along book club sounds fun and interesting!

Yeah I was going to clarify that - Whatever time zone you're in - you start on April 1st your time and end on April 30 your time! IST doesn't apply here, so yes, technically you can start logging from 31st midnight (0000 hrs April 1st)

Will the person who reads the highest number of pages get an extra reward?

Still, we’ll see after the challenge ends!

Team captains,

Just a reminder- the challenge will be April 1 to April 30 whatever the time zone the readers are in.

So if you’re in IST, your challenge starts in a few hours. If you’re in Australia, your challenge has already begun a few hours ago and if you’re in PST, your challenge will begin a little later,

Please remind your teams and Good luck!

See initially the whole challenge was going to be this way- individual rather than team. But it was deliberately made into a team challenge so that slow and fast readers can get paired up. Otherwise the same people would win all the time which would take all the fun away and defeat the purpose - which is to motivate people into reading more.

Still, we’ll see after the challenge ends!

Arre, I was just kidding

Reminder:
Hey guys, the challenge begins from April 01, 2025 whichever timeline you happen to be in. Please reserve a post for your page log before tomorrow in the below thread.
