How can you read one book but not finish it? :p

I hope to get my next one finished tomorrow.

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I finished a short book i'll post the review once I finish OQ

[Irena BookDustMagic]

I meant for those two members who still haven't posted their reviews, maybe they finished a book but did't review it yet.

[Maddie]

Alrighty.

[Maddie]

I always try to review my books ASAP, hence why they're not very long haha.

[Katrina G]

I get your point about team Philadelphia, but I really don't think it's that big of a problem. When I don't have school, I can easily read 2 or 3 books in a day, which I was lucky enough to do on the first day of this challenge. I know my usual speed of reading right now puts me in the medium team, but I periodically go through times where I can get 8-12 books down in one week, and then some. It could just be that Adriana is having a massively good week like that, and she wasn't expecting to

[Katrina G]

But in the mean time, I'll take a break from Game of Thrones and read some shorter books to try to get our points up

[Heather]

After I finished the last half of November 9 I got put into a reading slump and I'm not quite out of the woods of it yet but, i'm trying!

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I agree with you Katrina.. Good reading pace can come unexpectedly and one can't be blamed .. We just have to work harder ☺️ we can definitely do it!

[Maddie]

Oh well sorry I'm a negative person.

[Maddie]

I'll really be pushing The 5th Wave, Heather. I'll need to read it rather quickly, hopefully starting tomorrow or Saturday, because then I need to read another 1-3 books tagged circus for another challenge in a week, starting on the 10th I think. So I'll be seriously pushed for time. At least on Sunday I can read for a few hours after work.

[Maddie]

Hey Tayane, are we able to make Never Never on or after the 17th? I'm not going to make it on the 11th. I've got to finish my current book (39% through which'll take me a while), start and finish The 5th Wave by the 12th at the latest, and then read the first 3 books in the Saga of Darren Shan by the 17th. That'll be such a squeeze, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to this, so when was the next available date after the 17th?

[Maddie]

Added to my shelf.

[Irena BookDustMagic]

After 15th I will have free days (ok, we'll do some work around the house but that is not that big of the deal) so I will read more then.
I will also participate in BR so I hope that the other half of April will be better for us.

Im reading Pride and Prejudice now but that book can easily put me into reading slump so I'll just read 25 pages of it every day so I can finish it by the end of the month, but I'll read other books beside it because I feel like if I read only Pride and Prejudice I wouldn't read that much...

[Maddie]

Yeah i have a holiday after the 15th as well.

[Maddie]

Quick question. Even though I'm reading the bound edition of those three books, can I count them all as individual books, seeing as I'm actually reading the same words as I would be if they were 3 separate books?

[Irena BookDustMagic]

I think you can!
That's what ppl did in series challenge, but you can ask Sarah just in case.

[Maddie]

Okay cool. Just wondering because in one challenge the bound edition is worth more points, whereas here the three separate books count for more.

[[deleted user]]

Could it be the 18th then? I'll try to change the date.

[Heather]

Maddison you can read it and start posting topics and I will join in! I haven't had a day off work or school in 5 days so I haven't been able to read as much. I will try my best to start today.

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

posted my two reviews .. I'm starting I'll try to finish it today

[Maddie]

I'm not too sure where to make the thread, so could you do that?

And I saw this question posted: I have a quick question. If you BR a book over 450 pages do you get 4 points or 2?

And Sarah said 4, so we would both get 5 points, 4 for the BR and then one for the book?

[[deleted user]]

I did it :) The link is the same.

[Maddie]

I'm hoping to get to The 5th Wave tomorrow, if I'm lucky.

[Irena BookDustMagic]

@Maddison: you won't get 5points but 4 - 2 for review and 2 For buddy read - that summs 4.

I believe it would be 4 all together. 1 point for reading, 1 point for it being over 450, 1 point for the buddy, and a bonus buddy point for it being over 450

[Katrina G]

I'm getting ready to start a buddy read, so that will help us with some more points

[[deleted user]]

I expect to finish tonight and I'll try to read some books from the BRs list to get us more points, starting tomorrow.

[Katrina G]

It seems like we've picked up the pace a little, so I still have hope that we'll catch up to Philadelphia

[Maddie]

Yeah I saw that Abbie clarified that. Thanks :) That would do us really nicely, an extra 8 points from Heather and I reading one book each haha.

[Katrina G]

I think that would only leave them a few points ahead of us lol. I think doing a lot of buddy reads is the only way we'll surpass them lol

[Irena BookDustMagic]

I'm doing buddy read as soon as I have free days, from 15th on.

[Maddie]

Ah yeahp. I've only got two planned, but if anyone wants to look at my shelf of book I own and want to br then they can :) It's under my books.

I'm starting it today and hoping to nearly finish it!

[Heather]

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

That book is soooo long! Good luck!

[ɑƨħŵɑɡ ♥Team Magnus Damora FOREVER♥]

I know, but I'm prepared xD Thanks :)

[Heather]

you are welcome!

[Aneesa]

Just posted my first review, I have quite a few to do which I should be starting soon. So that should help!

[Heather]

I should post my review around monday night if I don't finish The 5th Wave before then!

[Maddie]

I'll be starting The 5th Wave either tonight or tomorrow, and plan to get at least halfway through it.

Just finished

[Maddie]

We now have 29 points and Philadelphia has 40, so we could potentially catch up :)

[Irena BookDustMagic]

I'll try my best to finish my book today.

[Heather]

I have a pageant today so I won't be able to read until late tonight.

[Aneesa]

I have finished one book today, on my second one now! We should be able to catch up!
