message 22: by Petuli (new)

Petuli Girls, I am quite new to audio books but I started enjoying them. Do you have a favorite audio book of yours to recommend? :)

Petuli Kathryn wrote: "Petra I'm new to audiobooks as well! I'm on my first one, Red Rising, which is quite good.

Also, I seem to buy books everywhere I go! I went to the cinema today and came back with 4 new books :)"


Same here... My problem is that I live in the Czech Republic but love reading books in English - and it's really painful to buy English books here so I have to order from the UK usually and the P&P is killing me! So I usually read ebooks :D as for audio - I am currently listening to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and it's beautiful!! :)

Nah, it's cool--sorry I missed your message! Was it as awesome a read as I've heard from others?

Really? That's bad, I was planning to read it... one day :D

Petuli Kathryn wrote: "Do we have a strategy for picking boxes or are we just picking random ones?"

Good question... I've been picking random ones...


message 28: by Betwixt the (new)

Betwixt the Pages (betwixtthesepages) | 1637 comments I've been picking at random too. XD


message 29: by Petuli (new)

Petuli Kathryn wrote: "I've been "stalking" some of the other teams threads and they seem to have strategies...oh well. :)"

Well I think the only way how to find out which box is which number is to pick for all books read in a week the same number right? then you can devide it by the number of books you read... bummer if you pick zero... :D

Petuli Kathryn wrote: "I guess so haha!

Btw am reading book #4 right now, and have an audiobook on the go. Reviews should be up by Wednesday - don't worry I'm not slacking Hehehe :)"


I am reading The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and I love it! It's short and amazing! And I am listening to Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore - not the best thing ever but still pretty good!

I love holiday too! I finished all my exams in May and I had incredible June as a reading month! Although I should start working on my master thesis... :D


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Petuli Does anybody want to read Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin from July, 30? :)


ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ (unheard) | 2402 comments I am reading one book at the moment and it's a BR .. Hopefully I'll be done with it tonight .. But it's ramadan and my reading time is very limited :(


message 39: by Betwixt the (new)

Betwixt the Pages (betwixtthesepages) | 1637 comments Mid month personal summary (because Kathryn made it look so cool):

I've read 9 books so far (approximately...2,965 pages total, because several were shorter than my usual) I've really enjoyed three or four of them, hoping to get several more in before the end of the month, with two buddy reads planned.

I'm about 32% through my current read, which I'm REALLY enjoying; should be able to knock the rest of it out tomorrow after work, seeing as it's my Friday.

Not been reading as much lately as past months; I've been completely exhausted and have instead been coming home to nap after work most days. Oops.

How is everyone?!


ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ (unheard) | 2402 comments my mid month summary:

I've read 11 books / 4100ish pages
Reading one book right now
I plan to read 3 by this week all BRs
Didn't plan for the rest of the month


message 41: by Petuli (new)

Petuli I am currently 40 % in The Way of Kings... what a big book! For the second half of the month I have planned 5 BRs but I think I can read a bit more as I am particiating in TBR Takedown 2.0 readathon


ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ (unheard) | 2402 comments WOW Petra .. Keep it up :)


message 43: by Petuli (new)

Petuli I have one review to write and 3 BRs left :)


ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ (unheard) | 2402 comments I'm done with one book (not BR) and i think I'll be done with another and put the reviews up today :)


message 48: by Petuli (new)

Petuli All my review are up! It was a crazy reading month! :)


message 49: by Betwixt the (new)

Betwixt the Pages (betwixtthesepages) | 1637 comments I'll have one more posted before the end of the night. :)


ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥ (unheard) | 2402 comments I'm planning to finish 2 books today both BR .. Maybe a third but I am not sure .. hopefully we get back to first place :)
