Welcome to the team Laura! Glad to have you!

I’m not a big romance reader but more things are tagged romance in addition to main genres as I found out in a previous challenge so it’s likely I’ll read things tagged 10 or more times romance too :-)

can you add Horrid to your WAT shelf, please? And add a read date please; it is still sitting on your currently reading shelf.

Thanks!


Also, you have a book on your WAT sh..."

Added Horrid, and removed A Spindle Splintered. I didn’t realize the page limit and that one is only 128 pages so I can’t use it.

I just saw the books of the month and the only one I may be interested in is House of Hollow so I’ll see if I can fit it in this month too.

Ok I found it now, 160 page minimum. Wow LaurLa’s was so close.

How many pages does it need to be? I have a 128 page that I now realize likely won’t be enough either lol

Chris Cornell, hands down :-)

I definitely loved the Chris Cornell song too!
I liked the Adele as well

Nothing happens when I click it tho :/

Thank you for posting the countdown to start there!

3. Books can NOT be started before the starting time. Starting date is what matters. Finish date can be at any time during the challenge.

Another important thing to note for this is start date ONLY matters for the start of the full challenge 10/9. After that finish date is what matters and only books finished during that particular round can be used—books cannot be banked and used in later rounds.

So I’ve found that if one I’m reading doesn’t happen to fit anything, I won’t finish it right then and focus on another book instead. Because maybe it will work for something in the next round and finish it then.

Mmhh, same. Makes it easier to keep the plots apart as well..."

I generally have around three, always two—an audio and physical or ebook on kindle. But sometimes if the genres are different I’ll have a third ThAts physical or kindle too.

Yeah that’s traumatic story and I think it would make me afraid too!

I need to read both Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom so I’ll have to keep those in mind too. Maybe now is the time to pluck them from my never ending TBR lol

I live in Cincinnati so pretty close to Dayton! I have cousins and friends who live there. Small world :-)

I’m a challenge obsessed reading lover. I like many genres but my favorites are probably mystery/thriller, fantasy, and YA. I don’t read much romance unless it’s very light or part of another genre but otherwise I’m open to most things!

I’m another Midwest US person, but from Ohio!
We are actually getting some fall weather this year which I’m really loving, normally we get summer and winter with not much in between here.
