[Victoria]

I have these ones planned, trying to get the categories we haven't already got filled :)
Female author -
Recommended -
(Printz) award winner -
Over 500 pages -

And I can count for a couple of the categories we've already got covered

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

I know for a fact that I will get and out of the way first. I haven't found a book with someone who shares my first name. What about you?

[Victoria]

I've got buddy reads in another group planned for all of those, so I've got a set order :) I'm starting with Slammed I think! I haven't found anyone sharing a first name yet, but I haven't looked especially hard either...

I haven't either. I might have one for male author. Maybe nonfiction too.

[Victoria]

We do have other teammates as well, so this isn't all up to us! We can see what they have that'll fit, then work out some of the rest :)

True and Categories can be repeated.

[C.P.]

How are you all doing? Have you been able to start any books?

I started but I don't know if I am going to be able to finish it.

[C.P.]

Well you can at least count any pages read for the challenge. Sorry you aren't enjoying it though. :(

It would have been a good story if there was a plot and developed characters.

[C.P.]

I hate when that happens.

[Victoria]

I'm starting my first whole book, Slammed! And I'm going to be posting to get points for the book I started last month :)

[Megan]

Sorry, seeing this late, but I am still in

[Megan]

Currently reading "Scarlet" Asa buddy read with Kaylin, as well as a book of short stories "Spooky Campfire Tales" by S. E. Schlosser.

[C.P.]

How are you liking Scarlet, Megan?

How is everyone else's reading coming this month?

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

I started Heaven last night. It seems to be a pretty easy read so far. I might, hopefully, get it finished this weekend when I have more time.

[C.P.]

Hope you continue to enjoy it, Jamie!

[Megan]

I finished "Scarlet" last night. I absolutely loved it! Can't wait to start "Cress".

[Victoria]

Megan, I'm ready Stars Above at the moment, I just finished that series recently! Glad you're enjoying it :)
I have a review to post tomorrow, and hopefully another one very soon, this book is really easy to read

[C.P.]

How is everyone doing? Have you been able to fit in the reading you had hoped?

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

C P wrote: "How is everyone doing? Have you been able to fit in the reading you had hoped?"

Been pretty busy this month. My reading is starting to pick up again.

[C.P.]

I hope it was a good kind of busy and not a bad one, Jamie. And I'm glad you've been able to read more!

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

C P wrote: "I hope it was a good kind of busy and not a bad one, Jamie. And I'm glad you've been able to read more!"

A good busy. It also isn't helping that I'm not in the mood for my typical read. I'm hoping switching genres will help me get out of this funk.

[C.P.]

Glad to hear it. :) And I hope that it helps to switch things up. Sometimes you can get kind of burned out with the same things.

[C.P.]

Not long before the end of the month! Any books you want to finish?

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

C P wrote: "Not long before the end of the month! Any books you want to finish?"

I finished one and put it up in the reviewa yesterday. I might have two more finished this weekend and up by monday.

[C.P.]

Good luck! Have you found some books that you're enjoying more now?

[Jamies (The Kansan Reader)]

C P wrote: "Good luck! Have you found some books that you're enjoying more now?"

Yes I have. I think I have gotten out of my funk. Mostly with YA which I've hardly read in the last year.

[C.P.]

That's good tp hear. Sometimes a change in genre/category can help.

Yes. I think it's what I needed.
