Awesome, glad it's helping! I use Google for all my school projects so I'm pretty familiar with it...

No kidding! I put a link to our spreadsheet up at the top, right under our names for our convenience...

@Mickey: Great minds think alike! I was editing at the same time as you. I moved Sofi's The Last Olympian to "L" to make space to move my Pirates to "T" -- but then suddenly it was moved (by you, i'm supposing). I thought the Ts were full. Did you move any other Ts? Everyone should check to make sure their T books are still there... that might be a problem when we are simultaneously editing (but probably not).

I will totally buddy read The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2) by James Dashner with you, Sofi! I absolutely loved The Maze Runner and I've got the rest of the series sitting right here just begging me to read them... Unfortunately, I've got some read-to-review obligations ahead of it, but if you want to read it later in the month, I'll join.

How could you let college get in the way of your reading? lol! (I did NOT just say that... don't tell your professors I said that... ;) ).

You made me laugh, TJ!! Most of the times I prefer to read instead of study but this summer I was not able to read that much as I wished!!
And of course, as soon as you are free we can buddy read it together, that would be awesome!! I also have The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner sitting there too so we can continue with that one later ;) and if I get The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5) by James Dashner I will let you know Mickey!!


message 65: by T.J. (new)

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments I have all 3 books ready to read -- but I want to read 2&3 first then The Kill Order (I heard there are some spoilers in 0.5, so I should read that last). Here's my review for The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner :

I just finished These Shallow Graves and started The House of Hades about an hour ago. I am back to Percy! :D

what about the rest of the group?? how is everyone??


message 74: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey guys! I am so sorry but the last week and this week I have been so busy! I have March break next week so I'll be reading a lot more then :) I hope you guys aren't disappointed in me :(

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Mickey wrote: "Hey, where is everyone? How is your reading going?"

Hi Mickey!
I just finished a buddy read for "Flawed (ARC)" but I still need to write my review. I'm almost halfway through "Keeper" (also buddy read to review), I started "Zero Day (ARC)" (no buddy yet), and I have to read "The Circle" for my real-life (non-virtual ;)) book club next week.

Mickey wrote: "I just finished These Shallow Graves and started The House of Hades about an hour ago. I am Percy! :D "

I'm sooooo jealous! I would love to be reading the The Heroes of Olympus series -- they're sitting right here looking at me, longingly... I loved the Percy Jackson series. I've got too may read-to-review commitments at the moment, though, so this month, I'm trying to read only books I've committed to writing a review for (with the exception of our book club book).

Sofi, maybe when you get to the The Heroes of Olympus series, we can buddy read... :D

This is a "just for fun" group -- or, as my bff, Mickey, and I like to put it "jff" -- so have fun :D !

Hi Siobhan!

Take a look at the spreadsheet linked below -- you have lots of options:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Just pick any letter that is open and add your name and book title to the spreadsheet.

Happy Reading!

Sofi Mascaró (toffiladyreader) | 162 comments Hey guys I just added La Batalla del Laberinto (Percy Jackson y los Dioses del Olimpo, #4) by Rick Riordan to the spreadsheet and I used another L. If you want I can change it and use a T but it's up to you :))

lol! I'm not sure when I will get to start the series -- I've committed to reviewing a bunch of other books first... but I'll keep your offer in mind! :D

Great! I freed up an "F" for you and added your books to the spreadsheet. I finished "Keeper" today, but have not yet written the review...


message 82: by E. C. (new)

E. C. Ecchor (ecmcroy) TJ, awesome thanks! I just finished up Fragile Eternity. I've got the review written, but haven't posted it yet. I'll do that later today when I'm at my computer instead of on my phone. :)

Excellent! Okay, so now "F" and "K" are officially completed.

I just finished "The Circle" today -- review to come after I've had more sleep... ;). I'll put it under "C" for now (more points), but I can move it to T, if someone needs a C or if I manage to read "Carry On" at the end of the month.

Fantastic, Siobhan! You did "J" -- a big 8 pointer. I'll postpone reading Jamyria till next month then. I added your 2 books to our spreadsheet.

Sorry about your laptop, Siobhan. Were you able to get it fixed?

I'm 60% finished with Xander and am buddy reading Immurement and The Girl from Everywhere. I still need to write a review for The Circle.

How are the rest of you doing with your reading?

Hey guys, it's awesome how much are you reading! I started reading The Last Olimpian in Spanish (El Último Heroe del Olimpo) but I'm going so slow!! Tell me under which letter you want me to put it under once I finish. How about the rest??

Poor Siobhan, I know how awful is to not have your computer, hope you got it fixed.

And TJ, whenever you are free we can continue reading The Scorch Trials together :)


message 89: by E. C. (new)

E. C. Ecchor (ecmcroy) So, I'm about halfway through Vanishing Girls (not nearly as good as I was hoping) and I did read PLL for another challenge, so if we need a P we can use that, but we don't have to. :)

Sorry to hear you're not liking Vanishing Girls -- I haven't read it, but I've been having good luck reading some great books this month.

Definitely add PLL to the review page. We can use it for P or
U: Unschuldig (Pretty Little Liars, #1)
S: Sevimli Küçük Yalancılar (Sevimli Küçük Yalancılar, #1)
R: Roztomilé malé lhářky (Roztomilé malé lhářky, #1)

okey dokey! Sorry it's going so slow -- are you buddy reading it? I absolutely loved that whole series.

I won't likely get to this book this month or the beginning of next month because I am reviewing a bunch of ARCs. Would you like to set up a buddy read for later next month?

Okay! I will go ahead and use R since I think we have a bunch of those still available and someone's signed up to use the other P.

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Hi Gang!

Like Mickey, I'm traveling too! I'm in Turkey now and only have sporatic access to the internet, so...

I finished reading Xander -- so X is done. I even finished my review, but I have to get my computer with the review to an area with wifi...

I'm 60% through with Immurement and 30% through with The Girl from Everywhere. I'm 10% into Zero Day. I also started a Q book and am 10% into it, but no promises there -- so if anyone else is planning to read Q, please let me know.

@E. C.: That leaves one G open for you.

@Mickey: Next time you come to Germany, come visit... (though I wouldn't have been there this time)... :D

@Julie: Thanks! I'll check it out.
