Beth ’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

I have 10 books coming for me in the mail soon. It's becoming a problem

My finger slipped and I "accidentally" bought the next three books in the In Death series

I read the first chapter as I was waiting in the car for dinner last night and thought it was a great start! I can't wait to start reading it. I'll definitely let you know how I feel about it!

I'm very weird when it comes to long series's. Even if I really like it, I can't read more than 2 or 3 books in a row. I space them out. But I'm thinking of getting 2 or 3 next month and then reading them in a row and then hopefully the next library sale they have a few that I can buy!

Ohp silly me! It's updated :D And I'm about 20 pages from finishing Glory in Death and then we'll have hand 5 completely done!

I'm sad that I'm finishing it though because I'm on a book ban and this is the last book in the series that I own but I want to keep reading it. Good thing I have a library with the whole series!

Awesome! We have three lines completely booked up so now we just have to read them! Thanks for being understanding Teddie

OH Teddie, E&P is on the Best Sellers list. Do you want to use that for Bingo and then something else can be used for not in a book series?

If anyone wants to look at the Best Sellers list for this week and see if they can read one of the books that would be awesome! I'm already reading Big Little Lies but I may be able to squeeze in another one if no one else can find one

I think what we can do to help us out if take Oryx out and maybe keep it for next month? That way if we don't get down to hand 11, we aren't losing points. Is that okay with you?

Teddie, for now I have put O&C in hand 11 Wild card. That seems to be the only place it fits right now

Teddie I think I'm going to put Night Watch for Fiction novel since then that whole line would be "claimed" and then we both can put our books up there. I hope that's okay with you!!

I'm trying to accommodate everyone and get their books on there but it's tough when there are so many books that we've all got going on

Now this is where it gets confusing. Apoorv has already read Confessions but I had to move it down and the only place it fits is the only place O&C fits for Teddie. So now what do I do?

I've updated everything else.

Also, I was already planning on reading a book that fits for published in a different language and I don't know if it fits anywhere else, so maybe we can just go with whoever finishes the book first? Is there anywhere else that it would fit? We can put your book under fiction if you want to since mine is non fiction I can't put mine there

Which book? Yeah it's going to be harder to fill them up but we do only have 2 weeks so I want to get as many filled up as we can. Do you think our main focus should be filling in lines instead of just filling in the hardest ones to find?

Just switched it. I can't wait to read Born to Rise. He's my favourite soccer player. I can also fit on the Bingo card because it was originally published in a different language.

I put Deja Vu for white cover because it's harder to get covers than first in series!

I just hope someone else starts a new series soon

Any idea where Scarlet would fit? We already have 2nd in series taken. We could put it under fiction. Or if it's set in Europe, we could put it under there. Maybe we could put it under black cover, but I'd have to get it verified. We can also put it under free space if we have nowhere else for it

It makes me feel like a bad reader haha. I just can't stay focused on anything for too long. Maybe I should read 7 books at once. When I grow distracted of one book, just move onto another one!

I think my biggest problem is that nothing can keep my attention for very long. Even if I'm absolutely loving the book, I have a very hard time reading more than 20 minutes at a time :( it only takes me a few hours to read a 300 page book but since I only read in like 5, 10, 20 minute increments, it takes me a few days to read a book that would take me four hours of just sitting down and reading it.

If I am going to read two books at the same time, I try to stay in different genres. Reading two different mystery books at the same time wouldn't be good because the stories may get confusing and it would be weird.

Since I also really only leave the house after dark due to my sleeping schedule, I read on the Kindle when I'm in the car or out of the house and then physical books at home usually

How do you split up reading more than one book at once? I've been thinking of doing it as well to try to get through more books at once but I've always kinda sucked at it. Do you read a certain amount of pages from each book and then switch? Or do you just read for a certain amount of time?

If books don't fit with any of the spaces, we do have a free space that someone can use. I guess that will be first come first serve
