Just finished the Amanda Quick Box set I was working on. I'm also about halfway through my sequel which hopefully I can finish soon.
Awesome! I'll be finishing my sequel tomorrow or the day after
Just finished my second sequel! Next I'll be reading Library of Souls just so I can finish the series, then I'll start on my Lois Lowry boxed set.
Sounds great! I'm more than halfway through my sequel and it'll be done by Friday at the latest. I've never read the Peregrine series, sounds like they are good though.
I guess I'll just have to see if my library has them.
It does have them! Next time I got for more books I make sure to grab the series.
Have you read The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman? If you haven't you should, because so far it is amazing. I know I haven't finished my sequel, a friend surprised me with a visit and she lives in Alberta while I'm in Ontario. I'm 70% finished so i just need a good hour or two to sit down and read it, and she is leaving tomorrow. Sorry about the wait.
I haven't but I'll definitely check it out! And it's fine!
hey just thought I'd let you know that my friend is leaving tomorrow so I will be able to finish my sequel, but if you want to use Library of souls that's fine too.
Do you think you'd be able to connect your book to another boxed set? If not we can use your book since we were planning to
Yeah I should have no problem with that, I'm reading a lot of vampire based novels so I can just tie it in with those. Sorry for not responding sooner.
It's fine! Then I'll use Library of Souls
Finished the first book for my Lois Lowry boxed set!
Yes it was so good! Left off on a bit of a cliffhanger though
But that just makes waiting to get to the next book at the more frustrating and fun :p
I understand that frustration right now, I just finished a really good book but I have to wait for the second one to come in at the library.

it was The Smoke Thief, it's a unique take on Dragons, with a healthy dose of romance to tie it all together. It was very good. I also just completed another boxed set.

I just finished another boxed set, I feel like I've gotten a lot of reading done with this challenge. Do you know what day exactly this ends, I thought it wa the 14th but I'm not sure.
Thanks! My next challenge starts on the 17th so I wanted to make sure I leave enough room beforehand to finish up some other things.
yeah, I'm actually really excited about this next challenge. I've been reading a lot more than usual lately and I'm hoping to make a dent in my TBR list, even though the more I read the more Books I add :p Also if my calculations are correct we've managed a good 30 or more points for this challenge.
Yeah we did great on this challenge!! And reading challenges always help with TBR lists haha
I just completed another boxed set!!
Yay! I'll be finishing the last book in my boxed set today or tomorrow
Yay! are you enjoying your books?
The last one, In the Serpent's Coilswas only so-so, but I'm about to finish a really good one. I'm about 20 pages from finishing Blood Ninja and I'm loving it.
Yeah, I would have loved to have given it a higher rating, but there was this one character that I loathed and made it a harder read. I hate it when that happens.
I've read books like that. It's terrible because it ruins the book that you otherwise would have liked
Congrats! I've just posted two boxed sets, and I hopefully will have my last one done tomorrow.
it really was, my TBR list is down like 15 books. I never would have read this much without this challenge to motivate me :)
Same! I didn't read quite as many books, but I did make a good dent in my TBR list
I'm really glad I choose the fun team, if I had a forced limit I never would have gotten so many books done. I'm weird in how I don't like to force myself to read a set number of books or any particular book, especially for school. Ruins the fun for me.
Same! Assigned books for school are terrible. It always takes me forever to get back to my normal reading
yep, But then after I don't need to read them for school anymore I'll eventually read them for fun. And I'm always surprised that I usually enjoy them.
Really? I usually don't re-read school books
I a bit of a completist, so even when I THINK I won't like a book in my collection I read it so that I can say I have and mark it as read in in my inventory. I own over 500 books, and it's my mission right now to make sure I have read all of them, so that's how I end up reading the many books I bought for school.
I'm the same way, I have to read every book I have, and once I start it I have to finish it
Exactly, so while I get a bad book every once in a while I also tend to read more books that I normally wouldn't and finding new genres and authors I like along the way.
