Midu Hadi | 2744 comments i was thinking that the teens in these books sound so smart and grown up but I guess war does that to you. And Alek was the son of the Archduke, he would probably never have been allowed to be a kid!

Andrea (angleisthebest) | 105 comments I want to read levitation, have you ever read Incarceron? I started to read it a while back, but i could not understand it.

Aneeqah | 322 comments I finished book number 9 for the year, but book 7 for this challenge (since 2 don't count) Skinny by Donna Cooner . It was pretty meh. I'm a little unsure of what I may pick up next, it may be Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone .

We're all doing fabulously! :D


message 563: by Julianne (new)

Julianne | 63 comments I just finished book 4 for the year. Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved, #1) by Cate Tiernan

Oh boy I loved this book. Too bad the rest of my January is all planned out and I can't read the next one yet.


message 564: by Dragana (new)

Dragana (diaryofthebookdragon) Just finished my 8th book: The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan and I finally managed to catch-up with my challenge counter. I read this book for a challenge, and I would not have read it otherwise. But it was very addictive and quick read - I read it in a day.

Now I am thinking about what to read next... :)

Finished The Hunger Games ! Where is the twist ?? I was waiting for the twist in the last chapter , the cliffhanger ending !!! But zilch ! In fact this is making me eager to read the next book to find out what happens!!

Barbara ★ Midu wrote: "what didn't you like about it?"

I don't honestly remember and I didn't even mark it as read so I'm thinking I didn't get very far into it. I guess it just wasn't my thing.

 ★ gwiz ★ (ggwiz) | 760 comments I just check my stats for the team during my weekly update. And even though I have been adding my read books to my nbrc-tower bookshelf as I finished them--7 Books so far--my stat said I had only read 4 books (All the way back for Jan 4). I had to manually update to have all 7 books show up for the group.

Just letting y'll know that you may want to make sure you are getting credit for what you have read.

Been over 1/2 hour and the team status hasn't changed. So Does it only change once a day?

It was superb, met all my cousins and went to my maternal grandparents house after 3 years so was spoiled rotten :D :D but did get dragged out a bit in the end .
Sadly it was warm where I had gone to, we only have a a month of moderate winter in my city and I missed a lot of it.
