[Elizabeth]

I don't have many books planned yet; I've a few BR set up though, and plan to post another "seeking buddies" comment soon.

[C.P.]

Awesome! Hoping to have a few more buddy reads myself.

[Elizabeth]

Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you links to the threads! :D

[Noella]

@Courtney here's the thread for the False Prince. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Looking forward to it !

[C.P.]

Thanks, Noella! Me too. I've been wanting to pick that book up for a while now.

[Taylor]

I am checking in! I can't wait to start! My school has started a 30 Book Challenge and whoever reads 30 books by the end of the school year gets entered into a contest for an iPad.

[Noella]

@Taylor
Nice! Good luck :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That sounds like a good contest!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You're all checked in ☺

[C.P.]

That does sound like a good contest. A good way to get people to read more!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Adding Ashley to your team ☺

[Elizabeth]

:) Welcome aboard, Ashley!

[Noella]

I'm starting to read, it's 1 Sep AEST :)

Noella wrote: "I'm starting to read, it's 1 Sep AEST :)"

Awesome! We still have like... 8 hours to go yet here in the states. What are you reading first?!

[Noella]

I'm starting with Last Breath (Morganville Vampires #11)
What will you read first?

[Elizabeth]

Noella wrote: "I'm starting with Last Breath (Morganville Vampires #11)

Uhm. I'm starting the month off with a buddy read-- Between the Lines, by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer.

I'll also be reading Nirvana, by J.R. Stewart.

[Noella]

Ooh Between the Lines sounds really interesting. I might hunt down a copy and join you later in the month :)

[Elizabeth]

Noella wrote: "Ooh Between the Lines sounds really interesting. I might hunt down a copy and join you later in the month :)"

Awesome! Yeah, it sounds WAY fun and the text is all colored and there are illustrations and I just... Also, there's a companion novel (Off the Page) and they have a youtube channel for the prince?!?! Like...all sorts of awesome going on with these books.

[Noella]

Hahah that's cool

[C.P.]

Finally started a few books. Was trying to cut back to about 12 this month, but I think it's going to be more like 20-30. Oh well.

[Elizabeth]

@Courtney I'm always at jealous of how much reading you get done! It's awesome. :)

[C.P.]

Elizabeth, I'm always amazed at how much you and everyone else read!

Until joining this group I had never read more than 70 books a year. Now I'm getting close to 200. It's kind of insane for me.

[Rebecca]

I did not forget about this challenge- just finishing up a few reads I started at the end of August

[C.P.]

I didn't think you had forgotten. :) I hope you enjoyed your reads from August!

[Noella]

How's it going everyone?

I just found a buddy for my 400 page book. So it means I can rack up 8 points once I'm done. Hooray XD

[C.P.]

Yay! Going well. I'm working on three books. One is a buddy and it's over 1000 pages so that'll be 12 points. I won't be finished with that one for ages though.

[Noella]

Oh wow that's a monster of a read!

[C.P.]

It is. It's Words of Radiance. It's my second time reading it. Love Sanderson's books.

[Rebecca]

I've finished my first book of September
Enchanter's Echo
Anise Rae
262 pages

and my link to the review
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Is that all I need?

[C.P.]

Also include the link to the edition of the book with that number of pages. There's actually an edition with 274 pages (I guess for this challenge they would give the same number of points though).

Leave it in our team review thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Rebecca]

sweet, so how many points is that?

[Rebecca]

also how do i put a picture in?

[C.P.]

I think that's two points. If

Above the comment box there is an option to add book/author click that and search for the book you want. At the bottom there is an option to use cover or link, choose cover.

[Rebecca]

done- will you check it to see if it's right please

[C.P.]

Yep, that looks fine. And the link to the title is fine if you don't get the picture up. :)

[C.P.]

@Elizabeth I see you have a buddy read for Cress scheduled. If I can fit it in I might join you. :)

That would be awesome if you do--would you like the link to the thread just in case, or just want to let me know if you decide to join before we start and get it then?

[Elizabeth]

Also, just finished my first book for the month. Gave it 5 stars--September is off to an epic start! :D

How is everyone today (or this evening, as it's currently almost 6 pm my time)???

200 is epic! I've read... 114? books so far this year, which is crazy to me; this is the first year I've really READ so much, before now I'd go through phases but never read consistently despite loving books. I've discovered a TON of reads I'd never have found otherwise!
