[Nikki]

Nope I win :p you know I'll go on and on forever but maybe this time you might have been right but sssh!

Anyway swiftly changing subject... Do you have any books planned for the march one or going to go with the flow?

[Aneesa]

Lol sure ;) you know I am always right

And no I have not, have you?

[Nikki]

Not yet except it should be quite easy really

[Aneesa]

Well I hope so

[Nikki]

I've looked at my to read list and I can cover quite a few a letters but until everyone's checked in I won't bulk up the thread lol

[Stella]

Would it be alright if I started with 'L' Laurinda by Alice Pun

[Nikki]

Welcome Stella I'll check you in when I get on my iPad :)

[Stella]

Thank you!

[Nikki]

Your welcome :)

[Nikki]

So come on who's excited to start this challenge?

[Ammo]

meeeee!!!!

[Nikki]

Yay!!!!!!!

[Stella]

Yasss!!! This is the first time I've ever actually decided to do one of these monthly challenge things :)

[Nikki]

Aww really Stella? That's great that you joined us I find they're a brilliant way to get to know people and make more connections plus the competitiveness helps you read more lol

[Nikki]

read and reviewed for letter I
Now to find another to do.

If anyone wants me to add their planned books in feel free to message me or just write it here :)

[Stella]

:) I'm super excited! The book I'm ready isn't as great as I had hoped but I am going to try and power through it

[Nikki]

Aww that's still brilliant what are you reading at the moment or is it that laurinda?

[Stella]

yeah it's Laurinda, not amazing so far...

[Nikki]

Yeah I took a look at the reviews of that and thought it might be hit or miss ah well you can do it Stella, how much have you read so far?

[Stella]

Only a few chapters in so I am hoping that it will improve :)

[Nikki]

Fingers crossed for you, have you tried using the reading sprint thread within the group? I find that sometimes it helps me plough through the draggy bits if I take part in the sprint :)

[Nikki]

I'm just trying to decide what book to read next lol

[Stella]

Wow! You got through your first one so fast! I was going to start Laurinda as soon as I got home but I was swamped with homework and had to put it off for a bit.

[Nikki]

Lol usually when I read I can get a book done quite quick, if I'm in the reading zone that's it. Thing is I've got 3 kids so only get to read once they go to bed lol :(

[Stella]

haha must be difficult to find time. I sometimes try to shove books on my mum and convince her to read them but she starts it and then never finishes it.
