Q and A:
1. Do we need all the books or will there be a site were we can read them?
2. Can we use Facebook? Tumblr?
SO sorry about this. I completely forgot to add both to the original form. But it should be an option now. You can always re-submit a new form or edit your old one. Either is fine!
3. Will I remind you guys of the schedule?
Of course! We plan on doing a wrap up post every Monday and I'll be sure to have a copy of the schedule on there :)
4. Do you need to tag the posts on Tumblr?
It would be preferred if you tagged it GGReadathon.
5. Do you have to review the books?
Definitely not! It's just a way of spreading the book love :D Reviewing is NOT a must!
6. How will the giveaway work?
All you guys are already numbered once you guys have signed up.
So I'll put the total number of participants and use random.org to pick a winner.
7. VLOGGERS! You guys can link me to your YouTube page in the Blog URL box.
I'll try to add that to the form tomorrow.
8. Is this international?
Why yes it is ;P
9. Do you have to tweet what you thought of the book?
Q and A:
1. Do we need all the books or will there be a site were we can read them?
There is no site where you can read them and it would be best to have all the books.
You can always borrow from a friend or get the books from the library :)

9. Do you have to tweet what you thought of the book?
Not necessarily! You can tweet your favorite lines/quotes!
Let us know how far along you are in the book. Things like that.
10. Can we just follow the read along on your blog?
Depends. If you're going to be reading along as well just not posting then yes.
If you're just following along but not reading then you're not eligible for the giveaway but certainly can follow along.
11. Don't have a blog/Tumblr/FB/Instagram/Twitter?
No problem! Just be to comment on our wrap up posts every Monday.
12. What do I tweet/use Instagram to follow along?
Tweet your progress, favorite quotes or scenes, your thoughts as you read a long.
Take pics of you and your book. Take some pics of which part you're in or your favorite lines!
Create fanart or make a collage. Post pics of your casting choices. Stuff like that :)
13. Can you listen to the books?
YEPPERS
14. Do we have to wait for the set time to start reading the next book?
It is ultimately your choice but that is the scheduled we worked out just so no one would get confused plus it makes it more easier to organize.
15. How does the schedule work?
Everyone's going to start reading I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You on the WEEK of August 5th. When you finish the book you MAY continue the series but you can always wait till the next week. As long as you've finished ALL 5 books by September 8th then you're all good. We created the schedule so it would be easier for people to follow along but as long as you start on the WEEK of August 5th and finish all 5 books by September 8th you're all good!
