Return of the Jedi
Hello all!I'm Lauren, I'm from South East England and I have just finished my degree in primary education, so from September I will be teaching. I'm therefore making the most of getting some reading done this summer as I've had little time during my degree and will have little time when I start reading!
I have done TT before but it was a good couple of years ago, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it.
My shelf is : https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I'm currently dipping in and out of multiple books as I can't decide what I feel like reading and want to settle on, which is a real pain!

"Oh, I've heard that In the Woods is fabulous, it's definitely on my TBR.
Hi everyone, I'm Venecia and I live on a small Caribbean island named Saint Lucia. I love reading all genres, but I would say my favs are romance and mystery/thriller.
If you enjoy Thrillers, We are actually reading the series in my Crime/ Mystery/Thriller group :https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
Hi! I live in the United States in Minnesota. Can I come visit you all in your wonderful sounding places! England, the Caribbean....sigh.My shelf TowerV

"I enjoyed In the Woods but admit it took me awhile to get into the story at first. I will also say that I loved the next books in the series even more!
I just finished The River at Night which was about 4 close women-friends who go on a white water rafting trip together. I always thought that sounded like a lot of fun but I think after reading this I'll think twice!
I've just finished reading little town on the prairie (don't judge me, I'm strangely fascinated by American history and pioneers) and started a romance book set in a tea shop but four chapters in and it's utter crap ☹
Another one to convert to Donners of the Dead K lol

Very excited for TT to start! Still not sure what I want to read though. I don't know whether or not to try and do a TBR or just pick as I go. What is everyone else planning or doing? :)
I just go with the flow and read whatever at the beginning
Looking forward to getting started and seeing what everyone else in the team reads.
I think my choices will be dictated by the Amazing Race challenge at the start. I'll have at least one more round of that overlapping with TT. Once that is over though, I've got a huge TBR to get to :D
I feel like I might go with the flow as well, but I might try and pull out a mixture of short books that Ican read fairly quickly for points and then pull out a couple of longer books that I can read alongside at a slower rate. Equally, depends on what I feel like 😂 I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else wants to read.. it'll be interesting to see if we have any cross overs in what we read!
I kind of just read what I want to read, as I do a ton of challenges.....plus I am just not good at planning ahead too much.
I'm going to let my other challenges dictate what I read.
my reading will be dictated by the challenges i'm participating in
arrived yesterday the cover is gorgeous, hope the book is as good
After Uno ends, I have to admit I'm looking forward to reading whatever strikes my fancy for awhile... :)

K~Terror wrote: I've been eyeing that book - let me know how you like it!"Taken A little peek at the prologue looks good. Reading a couple of books from Net Gallery first. I will post a review when I have read it.
Tori and I are both reading this book hopefully earn the team some points if one of us get chosen to set some DQ. for BOM

Karrie, your profile is private so your shelf won't show, can you accept my friend request so i can post in in our team shelf post.
Also don't forget to send a friend request to the NBRC Mod otherwise your books won't be pulled out to the spreadsheet
Good news, I got a spot for DQs in the randomiser for The Circle BOM this coming week (helps that there were only a few nominees). Crossing my fingers for Karen's nomination to pick up a spot for A Gentleman in Moscow.

Yay! Well done. I'm really looking forward to getting started, I'm madly trying to finish my current reads so that on the 4th I can pick up and start a new book right away for TT!
Lauren wrote: "Yay! Well done. I'm really looking forward to getting started, I'm madly trying to finish my current reads so that on the 4th I can pick up and start a new book right away for TT!"I know right, I have a huge tbr for TT that I can't wait to get stuck into.
I don't have a game plan for my reading list for tt other than gentleman in moscow for the BOM. my aim is to read books that are really appealing to me so I'll knock though them quickly and rack up those pages.I'm really excited. nothing gets me reading like a group challenge
I'm now it that place where I feel bad for starting anything since it would be lost points *sigh*As for reading plan, mostly what fits other challenges. I do have few longer books saved for this one (and one of them needs to be read as soon as possible). We'll just have to see if I'll actually have time to read them.
I didn't realise that Strange the Dreamer was going to be a BOTM this month. I wasn't planning on reading it until June, but if I can participate in discussions and earn some more points then I'll bump it up! It doesn't start until 22nd of May which is good as I've got some other books I want to read first - I'm really getting excited now as it's so hard not to start anything new!
Ok we are nearly ready to rock and roll, not sure whether there will be a books read thread for us all to post, there usually is, but if not then can we post a completion post in here in the same format? Book:

I have accepted or sent out friend fequests to everyone, i think they have all been accepted.
Karrie, i havent been able to PM you as your profile is private, can you please accept my friend request so that i can view your shelf to link it?
When we post about completing a book. Should we just type the title of the book or type the name linked to the goodreads page for the book? :)

Tori wrote: "im 20 minutes away from finishing this crap Asylum book. i NEED to get it finished today and then i can start a blank slate tomorrow!!"I feel for you! V Nerd & I buddy read that same crap book. And I had such high hopes for it.....
I'm finishing up my last book today too. Gotta get my TT books lined up and check out those BOM's.... (better late than never...)
you need to make sure YOU start on the 4th as per this clock, for example mine doesn't start until another 1 day and 1 hour for me, meaning it will be 3.30 pm for me here in the UK
UGH!!!! Thanks for the countdown clock!!!I have to wait until 11AM tomorrow!!!!
3:30pm! Oh damn!!! I was planning on getting up in the morning and starting right away! Thank you for sharing the countdown or I would have had no idea and started early by accident xD
