I completely understand.
Hey so for the challenge, I think AnnaMarie has been a goodreads member the longest(#4) I just started rereading a book from a fav author of mine that came out in 2012 (#8) and my next to-read is Meant to Be which came out in 2012 (#2) so if you guys want, I have those two covered and am willing to do any of the others ones too. Just let me know! : )
Yep I'll be responsible for #4 ;) - gonna go look up books published in 2008 now!So Amanda's got #2 and #8...Loni and Lindsey, which ones do you like?

The bonus sounds fun. I'd be down to do it :-)
We should try to come up with a book to read then. Our to be read lists are different but same at the same time.
We are now in March so please don' forget to make your shelf!!
Lindsey wrote: "We should try to come up with a book to read then. Our to be read lists are different but same at the same time."Yeah, I noticed that. Well, we can always reread one we have all read. Or does anyone have any books coming up on their to read lists?
Oh by the way I finished Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep which would be number eight on the challenge. :)
How is everyone else doing?
I finished Cinder which was published in 2012. So that counts for #3.
Lindsey wrote: "I finished Cinder which was published in 2012. So that counts for #3."Oh how was that? I've been meaning to read it for a while.
It was actually a reread and I really like it.
Lindsey wrote: "It was actually a reread and I really like it."Okay awesome! I'll have to read it soon. :) What's next on your to-read list? I think I'm gonna start
Today I'm going to finish Scarlet (can't post the cover cause I'm on my phone.) which will also be a reread because I want to read Cress.
Oh that's awesome! You'll have to tell me how it is. Like I said, I've been wanting to get into the series. Hey, I saw that you read flat out love recently. Was it any good?
I loved it! I need to read the next one but my library does not have it.
Okay! I'll have to move it up on my to-read list. There is another one?
What color do you want your team name at the top to be?
Amanda it's Flat-Out Matt. And it's about him.

Amanda - pick either 5 or 7 and I can do the other!
Book Ideas for Bonus:
- on mine & Amanda's To be read list
- same

Those are a few. AnnaMarie you don't have a to be read list so I don't know which books you want to read.
We could also do a reread!

I just finsihed Only the Good Spy Young which would work for #5. Also, I finished Charade yesterday so #2 is done as well.
Awesome! So we are almost done with this challenge XD
Yes. Any book ideas for the bonus?
I'm up for anything but I think it would be easier to play it safe and do a reread. That way we all know we like the book. Unless somebody has something specific they want to read.
Okay, I'm fine with a reread. Any ideas?
Divergent
Hunger games (any of the 3)
Beautiful creatures
City of bones
Those are some I can think of.

The Divergent movie is coming out soon. We can always reread that for a sort of refresher.
I'm up for that. It will get me closer to reading the 3rd one. I have been putting it off.
Me too. I have Allegiant but I'm scared to read it.
Same. I have seen done spoilers.
Ugh spoilers. I started the book a while ago, but I can't finish it because of spoilers.
Yeah I know what happens too. It is one of the reasons I haven't read it.
So is everyone okay with doing Divergent as the bonus? If so, when does everyone want to start?
Hi all, so sorry been taking care of a very sick mother. They sent her home on Wednesday finally. She has been in and out of the hospital since the day after Thanksgiving. I do have Divergent. I haven't read it yet. So I am looking forward to reading it. I will be hopefully full swing now that mom is back home and I'm not running back and forth to the hospital which is an hour away from home:-)
I really hope everything is okay. It's great to Have you on here.
Thats horrible! My prayers are with you guys but welcome back :-)
Hey guys, so do we still want to do the bonus? When should we start?
I'm up for reading for the bonus!
