in this month, Megan. I may have overcommitted... Did you decide on a date? Here's the link once you decide on a date:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
it looks like we're leading in the fun teams by a point or two! and we're ahead of at least one medium team and i think one of the serious teams as well. great job everybody!

Alrighty so I'm about 65% through
, two stories into
, and I've gotten no shipping confirmation on my copy of
yet, so I'll probably end up finishing at least one, if not both, then starting something else if EoS hasn't arrived yet! *cries*
Hi team! I'm done with
, I only have the epilogue left now. I might be in the minority here and this might seem like an unpopular opinion. Everyone seemed to like this book but I felt like it was so dragging and I actually kinda liked
better than this one. Anyway, review for the book will be up soon right after I'm actually done with it. Keep on reading, guys! <3
Started this yesterday, and I'm flying through it The Lightning Thief. Also almost half way there with Even if the Sky Falls. Somewhere in the beginning of Parrot in the Oven: Mi Vida. Three books for me in a month is a lot, but I think I can do it!! Wish me luck.
I finished
which was a BR and I also finished
which I read 140 pages of this month. I will be starting
today which is another BR.
Guys we're ahead of the middle team and few of the serious teams as well. thats amazing dont you think?
probably because everyone's got so many br going :-) nice work!I got my school list of books (kind of) and we should be starting
and/or
soon so hopefully I'll finish those in time for them to count. They both look like I could get a significant number of pages out of them.
I'm finally done with
, will continue reading
and
after this! Two thick books, wish me luck ;)
megan ••book slayer•• wrote: "I'm behind a bit already this month, but trying to catch up!"I'm waaaaaay behind this month! lol! But I am reading like 5 books right now, so, hopefully...
So many great buddy reads this month -- I just can't decide.
I'm also catching up on writing reviews for books I read in the previous months -- I know, I know, that doesn't help Team Twix, but it does help the reading community in the long run... It's for the greater good... ;)
megan ••book slayer•• wrote: "The 16th. If you can't join, that's cool. Brooke and I are reading it."
Megan, have you asked Sarah to add this to the buddy reads calendar yet? I don't see it there:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The date hasn't been reset either:

megan ••book slayer•• wrote: "Brooke is gonna let me know for sure about the 16th. She said it should be fine, though."Okay. I've been trying to read Carry On for ages. I've read the first two chapters and it looked fun. I was afraid that I should read Fan Girl first though because I didn't get (view spoiler).
I rescheduled A Shadow Bright and Burning for Sept. 18th in case you were still interested, Megan. It's coming out on the 20th so you could still join in if you like:

Cool! I read the first couple of chapters and it looks good! Ashley might be joining us.
It's library day tomorrow so I should be able to pick up

but I'm planning on reading

after I'm finished, which should both be pretty quick!

Oh my!!! I totally forgot it was today >.< I'll start it tomorrow and combine it with

@Lu - It's okay... I'm a slow reader so you'll have plenty of time to catch up :)
Sorry I haven't been as productive as the beginning of the month, school started and
didn't make me want to pick up a book and read. :-/I have a br going on for
right now and one for

this year and I Really Enjoyed it! ... I hope you get to read it and that you'll like it :)
i have three books that I'm currently reading and I'm scared I'm not going to finish any of them in time. Trying to push myself but it's difficult this month. :(

The br is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... It started almost a week ago-ish so I'm not sure how many of the original people are there to discuss it with, if you were interested in that, but there's always room for more opinion updates! :-)
Finished/reviewed/posted for
!Going to finish up
and
in the next few days, then hopefully can fit in a couple other buddy reads before the month ends!
I want to apologise for my lack of reading. I've been in a mega-reading slump which I've never really had before. I'm hoping I'll be able to finish something soon.

I'm having a similar problem, not so much a reading slump, but a distinct lack of reading time... ;)
But I finished another book 2 days ago (need to still write a review) and will be finishing several more this coming week.
Lucky for us, Kirsty, our team is doing beautifully without us... :D
There's no need to apologise, we're in a fun team, the point is to enjoy our reads, not to do a quota of an assignment. As long as we have fun, we're doing it right :)
yeah... the point of this challenges is to have fun and share reading experiences with other people... and enjoy reading together... so let's just enjoy ourselfs and have fun :)
