That means we get to read any book we want. it's spot 32» If your team draws one of the six fantasy forward cards, your team jumps ahead to that spot on the board and each team member may read any book of their choice that week.
Woohoo!!! Okay. *chews lip* what to read? LOL.

I have two ARCs I need to read so it will be one of those or maybe an audio book. I'll be back! LOL.
Actually 4th , someone got very lucky and posted in th q & thread that they went straight to 101.
Dang it. I didn't see that one. Lucky ducks.
Wow, this might be a very short game. I was really hoping for a color to help direct me to which book to start next. I'll decide and be back.
Regina wrote: "Me too. I hope it won't be too quick."Me too. Hopefully they'll pull cards that only move them 1 or 2 spots from now on.
I think I will read
for this. I was supposed to start it the other day, but didn't get to it yet.
I hope so too , this one's a nice and relaxed team challenge , really wanted this to stetch out .
I was just checking status updates and saw T5's giant fantasy forward. We may have to roll right into R2, if this one ends very quickly. Happy Reading, ladies!
No worries, if this round ends super quick we'll rearrange a few things and jump into R2 with whomever would like to continue on. :)

So far it is pretty good, they've gotten into quite the predicament.
Finished my book last night. I'll try to get my review posted while I'm at work. If not I'll post it tonight when I get home.

I'm around 75 % with my book Dance With Me and I'm absolutely loving it . Though I really don't understand why my reading speed is so slow with this book :/.

The first book was difficult to get into right away; thankfully this book did not suffer from the same problem. I was immediately enthralled by Gaia’s new situation and like I do with every dystopian/post-apocalyptic books I read, I tried to think about how I would handle things if I were in her shoes. I don’t think I’d be able to do what she did at any point in this book. I don’t think I’m strong enough to live in this world…although I guess you don’t really know how strong you are until put in situations, but I’m pretty sure my ass would have been sent packing or killed within a day.
I couldn’t wait to see Leon again and was so glad that it didn’t take long, although in the meantime the possibility of a love triangle or even a love square was thrown in there. I can’t wait to see how things are wrapped up in the final book. I’m glad that I didn’t read these books when they came out because the long wait between books is never easy for me. I’m not a patient person, which is probably another thing that would get me killed in one of these dystopian worlds.
I loved my book. I'm so glad I started reading this series. Sorry you aren't enjoying
Regina. I love that series.Glad you're liking your book Karen. Sometimes that happens to me too. Even though I'm enjoying a book I still can't seem to read it as fast as I do other books.
Oh I am enjoying it, just not loving it. :) I would say right now it is 3.5 stars. Which is not bad at all. :) I am about 30% in. I like that the (view spoiler)
I gave it 4 stars and was a little bored in the beginning. The rest though picks up a lot. I liked what you mentioned in your spoiler as well.
Cool -- I have a lot to look forward to. :)
I am a little over half way. Had a PTO project to get done yesterday and a Girl Scout meeting to prepare for today... and I may have picked up another book that I got sucked into. But now I have nothing planned after dinner except to finish my book for this challenge. We'll see if the kids cooprate.
It is suddenly getting so good!Dawn, you sound like me. :D I over volunteer myself.
LOL Regina. I was just about to say I was bummed to hear Outpost wasn't as good as the first, then I saw your last post. :D Yay! Hope it makes up for the slow start.I'm glad to see you enjoyed that one, Paris. I really liked the first and have 1.5-3 TBR.

Team captains, you may now draw a card and get your team on the board. This week, each team will move on the board. From this week forward, however, in order for your team to move forward, all members must have read, rated and reviewed their book by this time (give or take) next week.
