35559 Good Evening, Moonstone!!

I made a mistake with the numbers. Right now, the total is 86 Vs 79 with us having read 7 more books than LJB. We are SEVEN books ahead. Great Job, Moonstone!!

Katie, Emily - you're both doing especially awesome. 3 and 4 books read. Way to go!!

35559 And the second Million Pages should be under Fun & Games. IIRC, it was started by Lisa Kay.

35559 Nancy, did you mean the monthly BOM? Voting period is closed for this month. The one for next month should be up soon.

And as Mary said, you can use any genre book in the challenges. I use mostly fantasy when I am in that phase.

35559 Gwen, I've even roped my hubby into this (he's a HP newbie *the horror*) with the movies. So August's looking to be mighty fun :)

35559 Good Morning, Team!! How's everyone doing with their reading? We have only about 40 books to go. Easy Peasy, right?

I finished up Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout & A Week to Be Wicked (Spindle Cove, #2) by Tessa Dare today. The first was just ok. Too similar to Twilight for my taste and too predictable. It was better than Twilight is most cases though.

Yes. It is equivalent to 240 pag..."

35559 Melissa, by the first book you mean Masters at Arms (Rescue Me, #1) by Kallypso Masters ? I confirmed with Countess Paige and it's approved. The word count is 60000 and it's nearly 240 pages. So go ahead and tag it :)

35559 Good Morning, Team! Lots of posts overnight (for me).

@LK - I used to check duplicates but whenever I re-read I add another edition and that means a loooot of duplicates. I've stopped trying to sort it out with the hope that GR adds a re-read feature soon.

I finished up The Hour of Dust and Ashes (Charlie Madigan, #3) by Kelly Gay & Shadows Before the Sun (Charlie Madigan #4) by Kelly Gay . That's one more series I've caught up with. I do hope the author can release the next book soon because there are so many open threads in the book.

Also finished up Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) by Colleen Hoover which was good. Now I know why she's so popular. But the next in series is from the male lead's PoV. Not sure if I want to read the same book again (albeit in different PoV)

35559 Karen, you make sense. Usually when I add the book on the main page, it turns up the default edition. When I mark it as complete, then I change it to the edition I read. The two copy thing happened when I did this. Interesting.

Karen wrote: "The 2 copy thing happens to me all the time because I don't tend to use the "default" edition of the book. So if I'm not careful (usually when on the app!) then I have my edition as "currently read..."
