Yes, we definitely should! So try to read fast! :) Whatever you guys would rather do (choose ourselves or use random.org) is fine - & we can take a vote if we don't all agree. If you guys are confident we can finish our current assignments by around June 15th, we can start planning for Round 2 now, if you'd like, or we can wait until we're closer to completing Round 1.

It took me two days to write my review :D I don't like to do that, actually :D Because there are too many things that I want to say, and I wrote them I just make a mess :D

Just starting Throne of Glass!!! I was kind of tired yesterday, and lazy, so I'm starting now :)

I work full time so I can only read in the evenings. I'll need 3-5 days per book depending on my outside-of-work-schedule. I should be done with Looking For Alaska by Thursday/Friday, which is around 221 pages. I'm thinking I'll be the slowest reader of the group :/ but almost all of my books are buddy reads! :) If you (Edita) get done with your books and have nothing to read, just start back at the top at Part 1 #1 and start working your way through Part 1! Then we'll have Round 2 started.

Of course you can, if they haven't started it yet :)


message 187: by Danielle ♥ (new)

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments I am reading Looking for Alaska for the boarding school requirement. I think you can read Loking for Alaska as long as you use it for a different requirement? Sarah can you confirm? The buddy read for this started on June first.

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Done with my second book Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas - Read a book set in another world, but I'm sorry, I've to write my review later, again :)
Now I'll start my Part 2's 1st description - A tiny bite can make you itch-read a book with something that flies on the cover The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments I am almost done with Looking for Alaska Looking for Alaska by John Green (Part 3 #1 Boarding School) and I am 25% done with Jellicoe Road Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta (Part 4 "J") - a very odd book so far so it's hard to stay focused.


message 192: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Ok, great! I'll go write my review right now :)


message 193: by Danielle ♥ (last edited Jun 04, 2015 08:46AM) (new)

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments Okay - I have been starting to contemplate Round 2, so I made a post on our Team Progress Page to track our Round 2 assignments! I signed up for Paper Towns by John Green for Part 3 #5 Read a Book Where Someone Goes Missing, which is also a buddy read this month! If it's okay with you all, I'll leave Round 2 as first come first serve for now, and then assign the leftovers towards the end of the month?

Btw I just posted my second book review for Throne of Glass, ugh I really suck at this reviewing thing >.<

You can wait until you are ready! And don't worry - I'm not a good reviewer either, so I just jot down what I thought in a couple sentances and call it a day. You're reviews are your own creations, so, whatever you say is okay!

Just finished Looking For Alaska and I'm going to write the review & post it on our Team N Reviews Thread!

Yes, or you can use it for the same description just on a second run through ☺

Looking for Alaska is one of our Group Buddy Reads for June, so you can read this from the 1st to the 30th and it will still count ☺

message 199: by Tati (new)

Tati So, just so you can update the team progress thread, I've read Witch Hunter and Eighth Grave. Now, I'm reading If He Had Been With Me, which I'm hoping to finish today.


message 200: by Tati (new)

Tati Oh, and I'll be using Tsarina by J. Nelle Patrick rather than Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke (Prisoner of Night and Fog, #2) by Anne Blankman .

Also, could someone switch descriptions with me? The book I'll be using for bullying is going to be buddy read at the end of the month, and I don't have any other book that portrays bullying...
