Mega-Madness Chatting and Planning

[C.P.]

Yes, Dawnie! That happens to me a lot!

Then good call on not reading that series!

Yes. I'm having that problem with 'Salem's Lot. I had to start it all over again.

That is a good call. This series is a challenge for me because I know that most of my favorite characters die. (Thanks to my friends for spoiling it) But I wanted to see what the hype was about and why everyone was liking it. So far I like the book. I've seen bits and pieces of the T.V. show and I can already tell I don't like it.

I will update movie and page count scores later today.☺️

[Dawnie]

Good to hear that i am not alone with that reading problem!
Even if it's sad that it happens especially if the book is one we want to finish!

[C.P.]

I know! That's kind of how I am right now with my Wheel of Time book. I was really enjoying it, but when I started getting these horrible headaches it's been hard for me to read it.

Ugh. I have this problem all the time. It's why my currently reading shelf has so many books on it and i have a shelf, started but not currently reading.

A bigger problem i have is when there is a book in a series I LOVE and I am SO excited to read the sequel, then when I get my hands on it, for some reason I am just reluctant to start the sequel and get back into that world or something.

[Kylara]

I think I figured out a book for each category. Now it just comes down to how much I can actually get read this month

[C.P.]

Haha, yep. That's a lot of books.

I have that with new releases that I buy! Not necessary series but just overall new releases. Especially those I anticipated! Then I just can not pick those up!
And it drives me nuts! And the more I get frustrated about not having read them yet and not feeling like picking them up, the more time passes until I actually finally start them!

Very frustrating!

[Kylara]

I'm going to be reading the following books this month for the movie challenge. Would anyone like to do a buddy read on any of them?

I'd Buddy Read with you on Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children if you give me a few days for me to get my copy back from the person I loaned it to...

[Kylara]

Yeah I can start whenever you want to.

[Jackie]

Wow, as of this post, we're one person away from reaching 200! I can't believe it. Thank you all so much.:)

[C.P.]

I just saw that, Jackie. Pretty cool. :)

[Kylara]

I love the idea of the tracking thread, because I was debating not posting any reviews until I had finished all of one category and do it all at that time, but now with the tracking thread it's a great way to visualize it. :)

And it makes it so much easier for us to keep track of what people have completed. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I will probably not be very active the next few days. We just had to put down our cat. D:

Oh, no! I'm so sorry. :(

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ty. :)

[Jackie]

The tracking thread helps us as well so that we know what a person has done in case they forget. Glad it's useful for you as well.

[C.P.]

How is the reading going everyone?

[Jackie]

Kind of slow.:(
How about you?

[C.P.]

Pretty well, actually. Not sure I'll make it to everything planned, but I'm making good progress with my Wheel of Time book, so I'm pretty satisfied. Hoping to start Red Rising tomorrow.

[Kaylin]

My readings been going pretty well! Today was library day and I'm afraid I may have overdone it. :P

One of the only perks of being sick is lots of time to read.

[C.P.]

I always overdo it at the library, Kaylin! What did you pick up?Hope you get better soon. Being sick is no fun.

[Kylara]

Some people have expressed interest in it, but let's make it official. Who wants to read this month?

It's my unnerving cover read for the movie challenge.

I'm in! Finally got my copy back, so I could start whenever you want. :D

[Kylara]

We could start Monday?

[C.P.]

Let us know when you decide to start and we can set you a thread.

[Kaylin]

Kylara wrote: "We could start Monday?"

Monday would work for me. :)

[Dawnie]

Would The Unexpected Everything could for the tv news / show section? Since the books tarts out with the main girl and her father having a tv news interview thing and she grew up with a lot of media attention because of her fathers political position? Or is that not enough to count for that section?

[C.P.]

Dawnie, we'll let you count that.

[Dawnie]

Thanks Courtney :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Is there any chance we could get an updated score on both the movie and the page count reviews? I'm wondering how well I'm doing. :)

Yes. Jackie has been a bit sick and hasn't been able to get to the scores. If she's not able to do them today then I'll do an update tonight. :)

TY. I'm sorry to hear that Jackie is sick. Is it a cold?

[C.P.]

I think it's problems with her foot after her surgery. :(

I hope it gets better soon!

The scores for the movie and page count challenges should be updated now! :)

I started reading this last night! Though, tbh I haven't gotten very far. Did you still want to request a buddy thread?

[Kylara]

Sure

[C.P.]

I'll go and set a thread for you guys.

[C.P.]

Kylara and Kaylin, here is a buddy thread for you guys.

[Kylara]

I'm about to start for my modern day Romeo and Juliet.

I should probably try to finish some of these books before I start any more lol.

[C.P.]

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm only working on four right now, but still. Should finish a couple soon.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm working on I'm about 10% in. :)

[C.P.]

Hope you enjoy, Bookbuyer!

[Kylara]

I just counted and I have 8 (EIGHT!) books partially started for this challenge alone.
