Eni | 2349 comments i'll read January for that one. it-s really short so i should read it before bed.


message 658: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments When do you plan to go to bed?! It's after 1am! :p


message 659: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments Hey team is anyone going to do the American Gods BOM? I want to, but I'm not sure that I can keep up with the 70 pages a day pace on the schedule.


message 660: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments I'll probably read it later when I get back from my trip. It'll probably be over by then.
I don't understand if 70 pgs/day is too quick or too slow for you. If you want, just read it in your pace and discuss when done.


message 661: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments I'm thinking it might be too many. I was thinking in terms of writing DQs I was just afraid of getting behind. I'll probably get to it soon when it's over as well.


message 662: by Eni (new)

Eni | 2349 comments GOAL: Read a book with a month name in the title (January-December) - used Eni's January.

NEW GOAL: (i think i've ruined something cause it's not giving me a new goal x_x)

Pardon Our Dust!

The mods are currently tinkering behind the scenes. This may cause some random spreadsheet issues. Please be patient with us while we continue to make the Tower Teams challenge even better!

Everything will be back to normal soon. Thanks for understanding!

It shouldn't be. Problem was fixed when Eni got new goal. That was only thing wrong - no new goals were showing up.

What do you see wrong?

When I checked last night most of the books were missing. Goodreads had been down so maybe that was the problem. I haven't looked today.

For me this would be the 2nd in a series. Would reading the 1st instead count (it's got the 2nd highest rating...)

Nope, sorry. I have same problem.
And it has to be GR's to-read shelf, not your version of it.
To be honest my to-read shelf is not worth mentioning. My real one is something else


message 684: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments wow, those are short books! :P
Maybe someone else will have better choice

Sophie (drsophie) | 5690 comments Mod
That's frustrating. Hopefully it'll work better for someone else!

Nicole B | 185 comments I have two 'to read' shelves, one where i put the books I've brought but not gotten round to reading. Is it ok if i use that shelf?


message 687: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5690 comments Mod
Yeah it's not a series that I'm going to pock up for a quick read... If they were 300 pages each maybe, but Sanderson doesn't seem to want to write books that short

I've read some others by him and really enjoyed them. There's just too much stuff I want to read so they've been pushed down the list for a while.
