3rd review up also hope to get a few book read over the weekend for a change :) currently reading
Have a nice weekend everyone

[❤ Aly ❤]

I'll post my first review soon

[Eesh]

I finished the Rebel Spring BR and I was going to read Hush Hush but it's got bad reviews and too many Twilight comparisons.

I think I'm just gonna finish the rest of the Falling Kingdoms series (the parts that are out, at least).

[Eesh]

I'll post the review as soon as my laptop gets back in a day or two.

[Brooke]

posting reviews later tonight. have to get the yardwork done and finish laundry :/

[Lola]

Can I upload the reviews like in a bulk, because When i start to read i don't like to stop and I usually don't like being online. I've already finished 4 books this weekend. I really don't wanna have to stop and update good reads every single time

[Gillian]

You can but in not to big a bundles especially toward the end they some times limit how many you can put up on the last day.

[Eesh]

Yeah, no more than 3-4 at a time. It can be inconvenient for the mods, too.

[Lola]

Okay. Will post 4 reviews at a time.. Because I'm also updating my blog at that time too.

[Eesh]

Yeah! We're doing great!

I'm currently in the middle of and starting and tomorrow.

What's everyone else reading?

[Gillian]

then

[Gillian]

When Brooke does her reviews she will knock us all off the ladder lol

[Brooke]

I PROMISE i will write my reviews this weekend. i have 14 books done as of now so i am reading! i truly am sorry thou, i havent been doing so well the past few months and it's really bringing me down :/

Real life is more important Brooke so don't fret you will get them done when you can. In the meantime we are sitting pretty so that when you do do them we should shoot into first place ;)

[Eesh]

Anyone know about when Aly and Lola will be posting?

[Lola]

Okay tell me if i'm doing it wrong. I'll post updates this weekend. I had posted two already . Am i to post links?

[Eesh]

You either have to do four status updates or write a review after finishing the book.
Then, post the link to the book review, link to the buddy read page(if you have a BR) and page count of the book on the team review thread.

[Lola]

Ohhh, That's why. Tah! I'll post links to my reviews I'm not going to work with my authors until Wednesday cuz i need a day off. I feel super bad because I signed up for this. I'm a fast reader I already have a total of like 14 books.My authors just dropped 2 events and needs like my help round the clock since her release day is on the 14th and the other's book releases on the 30th. So much work I'm sorry. I'll catch up and post reviews.

[❤ Aly ❤]

I'm sorry ladies! Will be posting my first two reviews tomorrow!!! Ugh. I have been having internet issues... I apologize, I will get on it. I just can't help that my internet keeps going in and out.

[Brooke]

i got 2 reviews posted :D finally! haha. i will try to get more done at my breaks and lunch. :D

[Lola]

I posted two reviews as well, if i update my status 4 times for the same book does that count as a review??? and , So Elkser falls under 3 different descriptions. Does that count as different points? Or do i have to enter it separately? Or on the same entry?

[Lola]

I don't have buddy reads. Should I get one. I have more time now that I have surgery tomorrow. I will be going on vacation Tuesday so I'm good to read with people if they want a BR. and thank you for info. I'm post reviews Daily now.

[❤ Aly ❤]

I apologize again!! I'm going to post some reviews after my first day of grad classes tomorrow! Had to buy all my books for those.. I promise that I will post reviews. I'm definitely reading.

[Eesh]

Late to the game, but I'm sorry Victoria! I am sending good vibes your way!!!

I had a very busy and short weekend, again, worked 50hrs last week. I have a three day weekend coming up, so i should get more reading done. I need to write reviews, probably will get a few posted each night this week depending on my work load!

[Gillian]

I'm almost finished an about 1/3 way through then i have

[❤ Aly ❤]

I'm reading The Wrath and The Dawn right now. Sorry that I have been so late. But I finally have a schedule down. I worked some reading in after my grad classes.

25th

[Eesh]

How's everyone reviews status? I'm caught up on mine and I was wondering how many are coming up.

[Gillian]

Mine are up to date :)

[Brooke]

holy crap i didnt realize how badly behind on reviews i was. ep. i started a new work schedule last week and it has me all messed up as far as what day it is and the date in general. i will stay up and write as many as i can tonight. i have 20 to do right now. im so sorry guys!! im trying to get my shiz straight but life is not on my side. I'm seriously considering going in for treatment for my anxiety/depression. not doing so well with that.

[Eesh]

@Brooke If things are becoming too much, then you should definitely consult a therapist. And maybe take a few days to relax. Make a schedule if you can. I find that that helps me in stress management.

No need to stress about the reviews. Write them whenever you feel upto the task.

[Eesh]

About 4 days left. Anyone who is behind on reviews should start posting them few at a time.

[❤ Aly ❤]

Noticed that we moved to second.. I'm going to get a move on to get us into first!!

[Brooke]

I'm gonna get some reviews written tonight, we have some down time. They have us working 60 hrs this week, so i'm trying to squeeze in a few more before thursday.

I'm so sorry Brooke! That seems so rough!!

[Eesh]

There was a book that I would have finished but I didn't like it so it was a DNF.

About 4 and a half hours of the month left here and I'm done.
Good luck, team!

[Brooke]

I still have 4 more reviews to write :/ and i will try to finish the last two books i'm reading (A Winkle in Time and Hard Bitten)

[Gillian]

Its already the 1st of July here so just wanted to say well done to everyone. You all did a great job on this challenge, i hope to be in another challenge with you all again soon :)

[Brooke]

Alright all my reviews are written. I will finish Winkle in Time but that's probably it.

Good job ladies :D

I was at 60 of 100 read of the top 100, now i'm at 81 :D think i'll keep knocking them out for next months challenge since all my books are free :D
