Sylvs (NOVELty Reads)’s comments from the Between The Pages group.

Ahh I tried reading this book a couple of years ago but I couldn't get into it. I read about 100 pages but I think it was the wrong book at the wrong time. I definitely want to read it again sometime soon and give it another chance :)

Hi Everyone!

If you're like me, you're one of those people who started the year off thinking about all the books and series' that'll be finished this year. Now it's almost August, your TBR has sort of fallen through and your Goodreads Reading Challenge has definitely become... well... a challenge.

Luckily we have a solution! We call it the "Conquer Your TBR Challenge" which will be a five month long readathon going from August 1st to December 31st.

What is the challenge you ask?

In The Conquer Your TBR Challenge you would need to write a list of 100 books you want to read by the end of the year (I know some of you won't read 100 books but it's just to give you more choice and variety for the challenge). The aim of the challenge is to read as many books from your list as possible to earn yourself some points. It's also okay to read books that aren't from your list however you won't earn as many points.

The books for the challenge can be as long as you like. You earn more points the longer the book is. You can also read from any genre, it's not limited to just YA. Only books finished from August 1st - December 31st will count. If you started the book in July but finished it in August then that's completely valid too. You can earn points through page points and other factors listed below (these are only valid for books on your list).

PAGE POINTS

1-99 pages = 1 Point
100-199 pages = 2 Points
200-299 pages = 3 Points
300-399 pages = 4 Points
400-499 pages = 5 Points
500-599 pages = 6 Points
600-699 pages = 7 Points
700+ pages = 8 Points

EXTRA POINTS

1 BOTM (From Between the Pages Book Club) = 5 Points
2 BOTM (From Between the Pages Book Club) = 10 Points
Every 10 books you read = 5 Points
Reviews = 5 Points (Reviews must be longer than 2 sentences)
Buddy Read = 5 Points

For books that aren't on your TBR list you will earn only 3 points regardless of if you posted it with a review, if it was a Between the Pages BOTM etc.

WAY TO ENTER YOUR BOOK IN FOR THE CHALLENGE:

Entry format:

Book # on list: (N/A if it's not on list)
Book Name:
Pages:
Review:
Extras: (Buddy read, BOTM etc)

Also once you post your TBR list, you can't edit it so make sure you're happy with it before you post!

Sign ups close on the 31st of July so be quick! Comment your name down below if you're interested or have any questions. We will be making separate pages for all the participants where you can comment your list and then the books you have finished. We really hope you will get involved and have fun!

Oooh good job! Hope you like it!

Eileen wrote: "Hey, Syl I just finished it and I have to say I agree with you. I honestly liked all three characters and felt invested in their stories. I don't think I even minded that it was a slow build, but i..."

Same here! The ending was too quick and that whole revelation with Jesse and Kate could've been dragged out a bit more. I'm still excited to see her next books because I too believe she's a great writer :)

Eileen wrote: "I put a request in for the ARC and will see if they accept me, lol!"

Ooooh fingers crossed they do!!

Eileen wrote: "Yes, it is! But OMG, I did not expect that ending. I'm going to refrain from giving any spoilers, and I will also admit that I thought this was a standalone novel so when I got to the ending, I was..."

I know and thank god! The sequel is coming out in November I think

Eileen wrote: "I just read about an autopsy (near the beginning) and OMG, I have the willies, lol!"

Ooooooh and it IS Romeo and Juliet inspired *drops current read and reads this one*

Eileen wrote: "I just started it today (along with Castle Shade), so I'm very excited to be diving in. I am only on page 57, but I'm already finding them interesting characters."

Ooh yay! I really need to start reading ASAP then XD

Eileen wrote: "Hey Sylvs, thanks for the rec of Perfect on Paper! I just finished reading it today and I LOVED it!!!"

No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I loved it too!

Thank you and I hope so too!

Ooh nice! I just got my copy so I'll be reading this book soon :)

Jot down your thoughts about These Violent Delights here :)

Eileen wrote: "It's soooo good, isn't it?! I can't believe we now have to wait another year (probably) before the next one! Aaaaaaaah!"

I know!! Seth is so precious he seriously deserves a hug and Burrito Jerry... oh my gosh!! He is so iconic XD
