Danielle you are on a roll! Our team is lucky to have you! I still haven't been able to finish the next book but like I always say I will make up for it after my exams haha

I'm almost finished with my two books on the spreadsheet though so will hopefully have some good u..."No worries Halli. I think it's that time of year for a few of us. Unfortunately the start of the year is always my busiest so I've been working crazy hours too.
I do have a couple of weeks off at the start of March so hopefully I'll catch up then
Where Good Boy is on the spreadsheet doesn't work for a 4 as the character used isn't from that book.
Thanks for spotting Danielle. Have to confess I haven't really looked at the sheet since Monday but was planning an up date tonight so will shift it to somewhere it does fit then.
I started my new audio last night and so far it's not good. Narrators make such a difference and this one sounds like one of those electronic voices. Starting to think someone has just used a text to speech programme rather than actually recording someone reading :)

Next books up for me are: 
Not done any reading today and not likely too either.
Have to admit I haven't done well in terms of reading today. I think I made a wrong choice with The Ninth Rain as I'm finding it a struggle.
I was wrong in not reading anything yesterday, I read
. I needed it for another challenge and it was just over 100 pages. Also read is
. Info for both on sheet.
Okay girls we NEED another 5 to finish off the 4th Hand!
I couldn't tell some here has read
right?

Okay cool
and I have a 5
MC Iko
I will try to finish my book today or tomorrow!
So glad it's Friday at last. I've been spending 12 hours a day staring at spreadsheets so my eyes have not been up to reading.There's snow forecast here this weekend so hopefully lots of time to catch up on my reading.
I decided to abandon my current read last night as it was slow going (I will go back to it at some point) and started a different book which I've finished already :DGoing to try and get another one in by tomorrow.
I took some time today to make some progress on my book! Probably won't read again until after Thursday now, will update when I finish it. I'll be faster after that!
Great stuff Danielle. We're only 3 cards away from finishing hand 6. I've picked up a quick read which should take care of that pesky 5 in hand 4.
I've also started a new audio which I'm enjoying so much more than Quick Bite. 1 hour down 8 to go.
Sorry I haven't had much time to read, I have a new boyfriend and we hung out most of yesterday and today.
As it's valentines weekend I think we'll forgive you Avid. Have fun ;)

I've finished Sleeping Beauty and started Sunbolt which is pretty short and should work for one of the reverses as well as a lot of other cards.
Few of books added to planning sheet that I need to read for other challenges. 
I'm also going to read
for reverse card.
I'm doing good! Traveling to another city right now since my exam is in the morning! I am so ready for this week to be finally over! Ive been reading my book here and there but just a few pages at a time. I am really enjoying it though and I'm anxious to finish! I'm sure I'll finish on Thursday once I'm done with the Crazy week
Hope your exam goes well Romina.
There's a post on Ty & Zane's thread of the books they have read this February so far. Here's the link.
You can have a look on their team spreadsheet too.Have to admit I don't have many of the books, only Anna and the French Kiss and Rebel of the Sands which would be re reads. I do have ACOMAF but I probably would need to read ACOTAR first :)

Just having a bit of a think about strategy for the mini challenge and I think we probably want to target the first two tasks in Part 1 first as they give the most points and are also the most difficult. If you get a chance could you have a look at Ty and Zane's shelves and see if there's anything you have which could fit.
A spreadsheet fairy (thank you whoever you are) has added an extra tab to our tracking sheet so feel free to go add books against tasks or post here.
I have the Harry Potter book at home that they read this month, I'll do that one! I'll check the rest later from my pc can't really see the covers and names well from my phone. I'll also check out spreadsheet when I get gone
Fab. I re read Harry Potter not that long ago so I think that's out for me. I'm kind of hoping they'll add something new that I own in the next couple of days.
I've added a couple. They haven't a lot of books on their shelves that I like to read. (I have got a note of a few more, but want to see how we're doing first).I have got a book that is published 14 Feb, as it's going to be published tomorrow.
