Soooo you guys already know what you're going to read?

I want to read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins;

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead;
Graceling by Kristin Cashore;
The House of Hades.

I might also have some required reading but I don't know yet. Some of those books are pretty chunky so I'll see how many I can actually tackle.

[Amber]

Cool! Catching Fire is awesome! :) I don't really know the other ones haha. But that's a lot of books!

I'm going to read Divergent, The Fire Sermon & I'm currently working my way trough Lockwood & co ''the screaming staircase''.

Wow. Lots of books listed here. I am going to take it one book at a time.
For another challenge I am reading one, so I will start there.
First book: Nightschool: The Weirn Books, Vol. 1

[Amanda P]

Amber: I liked Divergent. Hope you like it. Have you seen the movie yet?

[Amber]

Yes I have! But I heard the book is better, so I can't wait! :D

[Amanda P]

Finished my first book. I didn't realize it was a graphic novel, so I didn't get us many points (1/3) to be exact. Sorry team.

[Amanda P]

Moving on to a buddy read starting Sept 9.

Also going to try and read

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Adding Maya to your team ☺

[Maya]

Hi guys!

[Markus]

Hey!

[Amber]

Hello! :D

[Maya]

Hi :)

So I have already finished one book: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger. I loved it! I will have the review up today.

I'm starting My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick now.

I have no idea what I'm going to read next though :-

Hope that's ok.

[Markus]

That's fine, a TBR doesn't really matter, I had one, but I am failing because school

[Maya]

Okay good!

Yeah I started classes about two weeks ago. So I'm not sure how much reading I'll get done. Hopefully at least 5. But we shall see.

[Amber]

Finished my first book today! Will make a review tomorrow because internet is letting me down at the moment. :(

[Amber]

Posted my review of The screaming staircase! Now starting Zoutberg. :)

[Amanda P]

Good job team!

[Markus]

Hi Sarah, I am currently reading Confessions of a Shopaholic ad I was checking the page counts of the editions. There was one with 1270 pages, another with 963 and one with 889, but they were ebooks, but they might be iBooks. Can I use at least the 889 paged version and still get 6 points, or not?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think those are all too high to be honest, the average seems to be around the 300-350 mark, which would mean that the 889 page version is nearly 3 times the amount of pages, and there isn't anything in the 500-800 page range. You can use the 416 page edition, but I think the others are just too high to be actual page counts for a non iphone book.

[Markus]

Okay, sounds fair.

[Maya]

Posted my first review!

[Miranda]

hey guys! sorry if this is an inconvenience but my computer wasn't woking very well so I couldn't use goodreads! however I talked with Sarah and I'm still on this team so hello :)

[Amber]

Hi Miranda! ^_^

[Amber]

Posted my review of ''Zoutberg''. Now starting Divergent! Woohoo! :D

[Ana]

Done w/ Queen of Shadows, typing up my review right now. I know I said I'll re-read the Millennium series but.. the 4th book of the Throne of Glass series just came out and I couldn't help it. Hope you guys are having a great day!

[Markus]

I am falling into a reading slump, because I have to read The Three Musketeers for school and it is really slow, but I won't stop. I am also reading Delirium and I hope I can finish it during the weekend.

[Amanda P]

Home sick tonight and tomorrow. Hoping that my head feels less stuffy and hopefully can push through one of the books I am reading.

[Amanda P]

Finished The Day We are Born. Will read some of Crossed later. For now, watching the movie Insurgent since I didn't even know it was out yet. Wow am I behind. Cant wait to see how it compares to the book. :)

[Amber]

Hope you're feeling better now Amanda! And what did you think of Insurgent?

I finished reading Divergent yesterday. And I'm reading Insurgent now! :D

[Amanda P]

Thanks Amber. Definitely feeling better. Just in time to move houses today! I liked insurgent, but I think I liked Divergent better, movie wise. Book wise, I liked Divergent and the last book the best from what I remember. Enjoy insurgent though. How are you liking the series?
