Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Haha that's totally fine! I've been slower too :( I've got school during the week so I can't read as much then ;( but I'm 73% done with a book now (none BR though) and hope to have it turned in tonight! Trying to clear some of my NetGalley books


message 52: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments It's weekend again, and I have about 4-5 books planned that I hopefully get through! Empire of Storms is happening Saturday, which means 12 points when including my BR!

I feel so bad that I haven't been reading much the last couple days. I've just been busy :/ I'm hopeful that this weekend I'll be able to finish some Kindle and Audiobooks.

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments Finally finished my nonfiction book. Will post in a couple minutes :D


message 55: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Awesome!! I just finished another book, but I won't get to the review until tomorrow morning /:


message 56: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Just posted Starflight review. Currently reading two other.


message 57: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments How did you like Starflight Quirks? :) I really enjoyed that one when I read it a couple of months ago


message 58: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments I really liked it too! I'm excited for Starfall.

Have you read Melissa Landers' Alienated series? It's one I love though I have yet to read the last book.


message 59: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Yea I'm hyped for Starfall too! And not yet! It's on my TBR, but I don't physically own it (yet!) so it'll be a while until I reach it ;(


message 60: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Well I hope that, when you read it, you'll love as much as I do.


message 61: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I really liked her writing in Starflight, so I probably will! :)


message 62: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments Finished a book (only two points, but it's still something). I'm trying to finish The Pawn today. LOVING this reread.


message 63: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Two points is still better than nothing! :) I finally finished The Last Star (took me way longer than a book of this size usually would, screwed with my reading plans for the weekend) and am starting Sweet Temptation, which should be a fast read!


message 64: by Melanie (last edited Sep 12, 2016 08:10PM) (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments Finished and posted for The Pawn. I'm going to start Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between and hopefully finish that tonight, too. :)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Posted Siege and Storm (The Grisha, #2) by Leigh Bardugo review. Currently reading City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2) by Cassandra Clare and The Reckoning (Darkest Powers, #3) by Kelley Armstrong (both BRs).


message 66: by Ashley W (new)

Ashley W (starfallreads1) | 6015 comments I just started City of Ashes. I didn't know Reckoning is a BR. I've had it on my list so I'll get that one too. Just started If I Die (which will be 5 points). Hoping to finish that and A Time to Dance (only one point since it's a novel in verse).


message 67: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments The Reckoning BR I was supposed to do at the end of last month but didn't so I'm doing it now.


message 68: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Does anyone want to read The Death of a Salesman with me ASAP? It's super short, but I need to read it for my Lit class and thought that I might as well get extra points out of it if I can! While it's around 100 pages, there is a 400+ page edition, so there's a possibility for 8 points each if anyone wants to read it with me :)


message 69: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments I'll see if I can get it. Do the buddy read for today??


message 70: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments That would be great if you could :) I'll request it now if you can


message 71: by Melanie (new)

Yep, I can get it :D


message 72: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Alright awesome! I'll request now :)


message 73: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments I have two books finished (One for 12 pts and one for 8). I just have to write the reviews and I'll post them in the next 2-3 hours. I'm also halfway through another 8 pt book.


message 74: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I'm hoping to catch up on my BRs this weekend which is around 8 books. I'm not sure if all will happen, but 3 are retreads so those are faster anyways!


message 75: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments That's my goal too. I'm not sure how many buddy reads I have to do in order to catch up (I'll have to check my spreadsheet).


message 76: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments It looks like I have 8-9 books I need to finish in order to be caught up. O.o Plus a graphic novel. Must get to reading! LOL :D


message 77: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments My goal for tonight it to finish I Was Here (62% done, at the moment) and Stolen (124 pages left).


message 78: by Ashley W (new)

Ashley W (starfallreads1) | 6015 comments Hey, guys! Sorry I've been slacking. I've been swamped with school work this past week. I just finished a 4 point book today and I'm hoping to finish A Room of One's Own tonight, make progress with City of Ashes, and start Prisoner of Azakaban.


message 79: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments No worries, Ashley. :) you're doing great with the challenge :D


message 80: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments You're doing great Ashley! No worries at all!

I'm slacking when compared to my BR list >.<


message 81: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments I just started three new books and I'm so behind schedule...


message 82: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I just finished a quick little novella for Netgalley, but it only gets us like half a point :( Empire of Storms will (finally!) be finished this weekend though!


message 83: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Hey Hannah! I saw you posted the Bronze Key, and there's a BR for that in like a week, so you can just post some updates early for double points!!


message 84: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments I finished three books yesterday/today. I'll try to get them updated and posted soon. :)


message 85: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Does anyone know where Lowa's disappeared off to?


message 86: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Nope ): was wondering that too myself


message 87: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments Guys, I feel so bad that I haven't read much of anything recently....it's been a tough few days. But I'm working on See How They Run and hope to get that done tonight.


message 88: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I've been terrible too compared to the beginning :( I'm finishing empire of Storms for sure, and hopefully at least one other book!


message 89: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments I'm trying to finish two books before the end of the month but it just doesn't seem very likely. Both Well of Ascension and Zeroes are pretty big books and I'm struggling here.


message 90: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I'm hoping to get to Zeroes, but that might just end up being a beginning of October BOOK unfortunately. We've done great though! A lot of us just seemed to have hit reading slumps near the end ):


message 91: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments I got sick actually. It was only a day but it still put me behind. Now I'm thinking of reading Well of Ascension next month and reading Zeroes and another, shorter book this month.


message 92: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments My goal is to finish From This Moment & P.S. I Like You (really need a nice, light, funny read!) before the end of the month. If I can get those two done and still have time, I'll maybe finish Missing.


message 93: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Maybe if one of our members hadn't disappeared we would've had more of a chance at first ): was gonna read like crazy tonight, but seeing the scoreboard, it probably wouldn't do anything to our position


message 94: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Yeah, I messaged Lowa and so did Sarah. No response. I only have one book to post that I'm finishing in a few hours. Otherwise I'm done for the month.


message 95: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I'm for sure finishing EOS, and I was gonna possibly stay up late for more, but it seems it wouldn't make much of a difference /:


message 96: by Eesh (last edited Sep 30, 2016 04:52AM) (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments You should just finish what you can. Third place isn't too bad. And the challenge was fun.


message 97: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Yea that's extremely true! :) I still really enjoyed it, read a ton of good books during it too!


message 98: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7290 comments Same :)


message 99: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13893 comments I'm hoping to have 16 points to add by the end of the night. Doubt it'll make a difference, but every little bit helps, right? :)

I had a great time being teammates with you all this month! :)


message 100: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I've got 14 to add, maybe even another 10 if I get Winner's Crime finished. Not sure it'll do anything either, but hopefully!

And yea it's been fun! I'm glad to have been on a team with you guys again!
