And I'm already a 1/3 done one of them! I'm really hoping I can finish it tonight. ^-^

[C.P.]

Great! Looks like you're on your way to meeting that goal!

[C.P.]

I think I'm going to include Red Rising in my end of month goal. So finish Lord of Chaos (only 285 pages left), The Truth About Forever (about 80-100 pages left), and Red Rising (pretty much all of it).

And that should have been 185 pages for Lord of Chaos. :)

[Jackie]

At the rate you're going, I'm sure you will definitely reach, and maybe surpass your goal.

[C.P.]

I was thinking the same, Jackie!

lol. I certainly hope so! I was worried a bit yesterday because I thought my 'streak' was fading but thankfully I pushed through it!!

That's great, Bookbuyer!

[Kaylin]

I just want to be able to finish the two books I'm currently reading:


I think for my first challenge, I did pretty well! :)

[C.P.]

You've done great, Kaylin! Good luck with those last two.

[C.P.]

Two days! How is the reading going?

I finished both books that I wanted to get through, so now I'll continue with Red Rising and maybe pick up a short story or novella.

[C.P.]

I've gotten a good bit further with Red Rising and I'm not as impressed as I'd hoped I would be. :/

Still about a day left (for most of us). What are you all reading now?

:( That's disappointing. Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't able to pick it up this month. O.o

I'm currently reading Magic Study. I'm close to finishing it and then I'll post my two reviews. Then on to and finally if I have time.

[C.P.]

Good luck those! You've gotten a lot of reading done this month, so great job! Oh, and Desperation should have been sent. :)

Courtney wrote: "Good luck those! You've gotten a lot of reading done this month, so great job! Oh, and Desperation should have been sent. :)"

Courtney wrote: "Great! Hope you enjoy!"

Me too! I'm really hoping to get to it in July. But I have some library books due the first week and then I don't know where my reading muse will take me. :P

[C.P.]

Haha, yep. That happens.

There are several books I've planned to get to almost every month for over a year... Need to get on that. Or find them homes (the physical ones) with people who will appreciate them more.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Courtney wrote: "There are several books I've planned to get to almost every month for over a year... Need to get on that. Or find them homes (the physical ones) with people who will appreciate them more."

Same. I've had some books for over three years or more that I've never read and it's starting to affect what books I can buy. :(

I'd never consider giving them away but I really need to buckle down and read some of them. >.<

[C.P.]

I try to read things at least once before getting rid of them. But if I don't enjoy them then I'll get rid of them. I just don't have the space.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Courtney wrote: "I try to read things at least once before getting rid of them. But if I don't enjoy them then I'll get rid of them. I just don't have the space."

I hate getting rid of my books so much that I've sacrificed furniture. I don't have a tv or tv stand in my room anymore. Or a dresser. I used to have a bed frame but I got rid of that as well. I'm hoping to decrease the clutter in my room by about 75% so I can add in about 5 more bookshelves to fit all my books on. :P

[C.P.]

I understand that! I've done a lot of rearranging for my books. I've become obsessed with one day living in a portable tiny house so that I can travel around, so I have to cut down on things that I own.

lol. That sounds like fun. I don't like being out in the open so that wouldn't work well for me. But I dream of one day living in an apartment. I like the idea of a smaller space. :)
