Great job! Christina is good at the page count thing :-) I think it is pretty early in the morning for her, so give her some time :-)

Christina, thanks for keeping us on task ;-) I'll read a R Book next :-)
Don't, I am reading the revenge playbook and I can use it for the R description.
We can also use that for the play description, but I can hold off on that book and read another one next :-)
I am about to post my review for house and I'm currently reading That Summer for the car description. Then I'll start back on Cider House Rules or I can read an in death book for the future description so we can complete part 2.
Jackie, that's ok we can still double up on the R description because we might complete the game twice :) I'm trying to do code name verity for the past description but I'm struggling a little lol
Nikinnia Our boundless buddy read starts today for me. I will get a crack on it this weekend :p
I'm going to read The Revenge Playbook now.
We are looking good! I should finish this book tonight or in the morning, I'm guessing in the morning, then I'll read a quickie not sure what yet :-)
I am temper cent done with my book. I will try and finish it either tonight or tomorrow.
Okay this is going to take longer than I thought. I am only at 15%. I am trying to read as fast as I can.
I hope to finish one tonight also :) Take your time
Just posted my review, think I'm going to start PS I Still Love You :-)
Awesome. I am sorry I have been reading very slowly. I am trying to read faster I promise.
Mod
I should have that finished today. I am reading the revenge playbook.
Jackie don't stress, it's all good!
We will get there. don't stress Jackie ;)I ended up catching up on a lot of TV last night and didn't read haha
Sometimes you've just got to do that! What did you watch?This is a quick easy read so I might finish tonight or in the morning :-)
I am at 50% and should definitely finish by tonight. I am absolutely loving the book.
Masterchef Australia and the Graham Norton Show :)
I don't want this book to end! I highly recommend it. It comes out on Tuesday and it's about girls getting revenge on a football team. Well, that is the main premise but it is about so much more. It's about friendship, family, forgiveness, and ending a town's belief that football players are above everything.
It's good that you're enjoying it :) sounds interesting!
Don't you all just hate that feeling when you are behind on your goodreads challenge? Is that just me because none of you ever get behind because you are such fast readers?
These challenges will help keep you on trackI struggled completing 40 2 years ago but I think things change when you keep at it ;)
I think school was what slowed me down but now that it's summer I have lots of time to read. The plane ride to and from London and my car ride to and from UNC should definitely help. I am 85% done with my book! I don't want it to end! Definitely a five-star read.
Good, I hope you like it as much as I did. I am writing my review as I type this.
I've uploaded my review and we've officially completed part three! I'm reading Someone Like You now. I'll see how far I get through before i fall asleep.
I'll do "Read a book by an author/character named Sarah" next.
Just to be clear, four detailed status updates also count, right?
Perfect! I hope to finish this one with in the next day. I am trying to get as much reading done as I can in the summer as I'm not sure how the first part of college will go.
@Christina I should be done with Harry Potter soon, and then I'll start boundless.
Okay, so we only have a book set in the past or future left. If you would like, I can start legend early and cover that part.
