Please check in and let us know what books you are planning on reading and I will add them to the list above :)

Checking in

[Emma]

Hey! I'm excited to get started! Here's my preliminary list of books I would like to read next month!

Sabriel by Garth Nix (buddy read)

Lirael by Garth Nix (buddy read)

Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (buddy read)

Kushiel's Dart by Jaqueline Carey

That's my tentative list. The first two are rereads, so I have to get them OK'd in the main thread first. If I can't use them, then I might add The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson , as well as random other things if I have time. Woohoo, GO TEAM lol

Hi, I have added those books to the list of books above so we can see what letters we have read/ plan to read.

[Cami]

Sarah switched me to fun so I'm checking in

[Nur Raihan]

Hi guys, I'm here! Sorry for being late, been busy with classes. Also typing from university. HAHA!

[Emma]

Shoot, question. Am I allowed to read 2 books beginning with the same letter? Just realized I had 2 down for the letter s.

Welcome to team M :)

Emma wrote: "Shoot, question. Am I allowed to read 2 books beginning with the same letter? Just realized I had 2 down for the letter s."

I believe you are allowed to read two books beginning with the same letter as long as it is a letter which is allowed multiple times. So you wouldn't be allowed to read two books beginning with K as there is only 1 K tile but because it is S we are allowed up to 4 books that start with S. I hope this makes sense :)

[Emma]

It makes perfect sense! Thanks ahah

I have finished Queen of the Tearling and I am currently reading Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist which I should finish either today or tomorrow and then I am going to start The Giver which is relatively short so it shouldn't take me too long to finish.

[Emma]

Hey guys! I just finished and posted ! I'm probably going to have to add in the E section because there's no way I can stop reading this series right now. That should be the last book that's different from my original list though, because the 4th book in the series doesn't come out until April. :P I'm also 3/4 of the way through and should finish that within the next few days. Yahoo reading!

[Cami]

Reading soon.

[Kim]

I don't think I am able to read Vanishing Girls because I can't seem to find the book at all. I will find another book to read.

[Emma]

I finished and posted it! I'll be done with by tonight or early tomorrow.

[Cami]

Finished and posting review. Will start when I finish tomorrow.

[Emma]

Ok so I posted and I'm going to be reading in the next few days, then on Wed. I'm going to start a buddy read of , and I'll use that for letter A! :)

[Emma]

Hey guys!

So I power-read , so once I get my review done I'll post it. I'm also about halfway through , which I'm glad I'm rereading because I remembered almost nothing of the plot (I last read it at least 10 years ago, haha), and I'm loving it just as much as I remember loving it! Once that's done, I'll probably be starting and ! They're both fairly long so it should take me a bit, but I'll be reading! :)

[Kirsty]

I finished last night and I posted my review. I am currently reading which shouldn't take me too long to read. Then I'll be starting either or depending on what mood I am in.

[Cami]

I will be finished and by tomorrow.

[Luckyreadingreviews]
