Gah this online version of Fire Study is pissing me off. I keep reading a section find out I've read it and have to skip ahead. I really hope Sarah okays it or I'm getting mad over something that won't even count. >.<
Oh and Tati and Edita I think you guys might find this website useful for reading. I know you guys like online books more than I do and there are quite a few good ones that seem to be complete. ^-^http://www.freevampires.net/

Ok written and posted! Today I'm not going to read much or be online, as I said before it's my daddy's bday, so see you tomorrow I guess! But if I have a chance, I'll log in to see what's going on :)I'll try to finish Hex Hall tomorrow, for the boarding school :)

Do you guys know how claiming pages works?
Mod
In what way? You mean claiming pages for books you didn't start in June, or claiming higher page counts for books you've already posted?
If it's books not started in June you just post the book and the number of pages read in June on the team review thread, with your review, and just state that it was stated before June ☺
As you are part-way through the 'read 800 pages' description you can use those pages towards that if you want to ☺
I've put
on hold (I was going to use it for shoes, which is no longer needed for the second game) and moved on to
for the soil description

No I think I got it wrong. I wanted to JUST claim pages. For a book that has less than 100 pages so it's not allowed. I don't think I can do that except the 800 pages which I might do. TY. :)
Mod
Sarah wrote: "You can claim pages as long as the book doesn't have pictures, even if it's less than 100 pages."Even if I just started it? And how?
Mod
Sarah wrote: "Just post the book and review on the review thread, and just state 'just for pages' and how many pages the book has."KK. TY. ^-^
So I found some online versions of books I've wanted to read for awhile but they are under 100 pages so I'm adding them to my 800 and if I end up reading enough of them I might use Fire Study for another description in round 3.
I got a sec, and I logged in!We have only 2 days left!
Where are ya'll? I know Edita said she couldn't be on today but where are the rest of you? O.O D:
I'm here, I'm here!weekends are harder for me to stay in front of the computer, house chores to be done and all that
Tati wrote: "I'm here, I'm here!weekends are harder for me to stay in front of the computer, house chores to be done and all that"
Cool cool. I was just surprised. We all normally chat most of the day and since we're so close to the end I figured we'd all be on. O.o
if only... now, that the day is almost over, I can si down without my mom pestering me
Tati wrote: "if only... now, that the day is almost over, I can si down without my mom pestering me"lol. Hopefully. How's your reading going? I've made good progress with Fire Study and I read a e-book type earlier today and posted.
weekends are pretty slow for me, reading-wise, as there's always a lot of driving around to get things done, so I'm still working on that soil description. I should have it done before lunch tomorrow
Tati wrote: "weekends are pretty slow for me, reading-wise, as there's always a lot of driving around to get things done, so I'm still working on that soil description.

I think Jessica is done, Edita is busy with her dad's birthday, Danielle IDK and Ubah is suppose to be reading the 1995. ^-^
Only 5 descriptions left! :D
I'm done round 2 and should have my R3 reviews up by tomorrow evening at the latest.
Jessica wrote: "I'm done round 2 and should have my R3 reviews up by tomorrow evening at the latest."Cool! GJ!
I'm working on An Abundance of Katherine's! Just struggling to finish it :/ not the best John Green book IMO.
I'm about 80% done Fire Study but I don't know if I'm counting it towards the 800 pages or not. I would be about 200 pages or so over the 800 pages right now so if I can either read a few under 100 pages books or another small about 250 page book then I could use Fire Study for several possible description for round 3. What ones are available btw?

Danielle wrote: "Yeah lets finish our Round 2 books ASAP and then all jump on Round 3 Part 2!!!!!"I found a cover for Fire Study that should work for Something that Flies on the Cover. And my plan so far is to read Shut Down which is 50-ish pages and maybe the first book of the Sweep series for the rest of 800 pages then if I have time I might be able to read the other two books in the omnibus for sweep.
(Just popping this cover version in here so I can find it for later): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Sarah -- can we use
for round 3 part 2 car on the cover?? That's a motorcycle tire behind those abs <3 if so please change Jessica's Incandescent from round 3 part 4 "I" to round 3 part 2 car :)

I just realized that the stupid 1995 description is in part 2 though are we still going to try to focus on part 2 even with that?

Part 4 is certainly better than nothing and we can also still try for part 3 as well. But maybe focus more on 4 since we can actually probably do it. ^-^
This looks really good and is pub in 1995 and the movie is good, Sandra Bullock!!!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And this, one of Oprah's book club picks:

"So could you potentially read it for R3?
Bookbuyer wrote:"So could you potentially read it for R3?"Yes possibly... I'll see how quick I finish my remaining 3 books. One is an audiobook so that's a no brainier, I have a long commute to work and can listen at work sometimes.
