Sure, I don't have any buddy read yet aside The Lord of the Ring. Can you make its thread please? I'm going home in a minute :)


message 203: by Tati (new)

Tati @Rachel, sorry it took me so long to reply! Yes, the 14th should work for All Of Our Yesterdays. Can you set the thread?

The easiest way is to uploadthe photo to either photobucket.com, or as a profile picture, and then post it using the code in our how-to thread ☺

I'll add you ☺

There are three books on the shelf (part of the Dead is... series) that I have already read so I am not adding them to the list and I may read Code Name Verity (Code Name Verity, #1) by Elizabeth Wein (may read before March).
I will see if I can make a dent in my TBR with these books...
Dead Is Not An Option (Dead Is, #5) by Marlene Perez Dead Is Just A Rumor (Dead Is, #4) by Marlene Perez Crave (The Clann, #1) by Melissa Darnell The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1) by Rae Carson Entwined by Heather Dixon The Hallowed Ones (The Hallowed Ones, #1) by Laura Bickle Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender The Hollow (The Hollow, #1) by Jessica Verday The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass Unthinkable (Impossible, #2) by Nancy Werlin The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3) by Veronica Rossi The Beautiful and the Cursed (The Dispossessed, #1) by Page Morgan The School for Good and Evil (The School for Good and Evil, #1) by Soman Chainani The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus, #1) by Rick Riordan Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt Slated (Slated, #1) by Teri Terry Who Needs Magic? (Magic, #2) by Kathy McCullough The Name of the Star (Shades of London, #1) by Maureen Johnson The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1) by Morgan Rhodes Sweep Volume 1 (Sweep, #1-3) by Cate Tiernan Fracture (Fracture, #1) by Megan Miranda

*based on the rules... I know that Into the Still Blue would not count for points, but I since it was shoved on the shelf I listed it anyway.

Tessa (tessa_ioana) | 1861 comments @Christina, here's our thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

@Rachmi: I don't mind joining you for Blood Red Road. Pick whatever date you like ^^.
You can also join me and Megan for The Wicked and the just: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I might join you for Evertrue as well, but right now I'm still hoping to get my hands on a borrowed audiobook.
We're reading the Runway king this month, right? Do we have a topic for it? @.@.
And I can't wait to read Horrorscape and Terrorscape with you :) .

@Tara, yes, join me for Code Name Verity. It's an amazing book! But I can discuss it with you next month as well if you don't have time to read it anymore :) . The offer is standing for Tell the Wolves I'm Home as well. That book was amazing. a must read for everyone!

@Jenni: love your taste in books. I've read A Northen Light and it's still one of my favorites. I can discuss it with you if you can't find anyone else. I would also like to read Revolution, but it's kinda long and I'm already full of to read stuff next month. But I can squeeze in one of Siobhan Dowd's books. Which one would you like to read first? :)

message 225: by Alley (new)

Alley Kat (alleykat666) | 743 comments Do we have to own the books, or can they just be books we've been wanting to read for awhile and have out from the library?


message 226: by Tati (new)

Tati Just a question, Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen doesn't count for this challenge, does it, because of its publication date?


message 227: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
No, we can't really count it because none of us could have had it that long. its not even released until after the challenge has ended is it?

I don't mind if you use books that you have from the library, but like Tatiana says - they have to have been published before january 1st 2014. The only books that will count that they have been published this year are books that are part of a series, so if you were reading Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer & Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer you could also read Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer

Does that mind Red Rising is counting? I have it since Jannuary XD.

Will be back with a picture soon. Need to clean my room first *blush*.

I can't really count red rising because it was only published 4 weeks ago. Good luck with it though, I really didn't like it :(

Don't worry Sarah, I will keep my promise to drop every book that I won't like from now on :) . But, to be fair, it does deserve a chance. Some did like it :P .

would Perfect Lies (Mind Games, #2) by Kiersten White count?
