Tori
If you are happy reading books as digital downloads I would recommend Net Gallery for access to free books in exchange for reviewing and giving feedback to publishers.
Morning guys 😇Hope you are all ready to rock n roll today
We have been given a books read thread HERE
Link is also on the first page on the same post as the shelf links.
Please only post your FINISHED books in there, don't forget to only put your completed books on your tower shelf otherwise the spreadsbeet will pick them up.
Do we have a spreadsheet yet, or am I just blind?
first book is gonna be Anansi Boys. i've got both kindles fully charged. kindle app is downloaded and i've got a shelf full of paperbacks!

Team spreadsheet has been added and in post 6
actually the mods have added a mahoosive link on their post lol
Emma wrote: "If anyone is planning on reading The Circle, then that can be started now :)"YAY!! I'd forgotten we could start that one early. I'd just finished a book and was just (im)patiently waiting... :)
Ugh still 1 hour and 7 minutes for me........
Me too! Haha! Are you going to read The Circle?
just downloading it now lol, i may or may not have the new KA book too, i need to check how it works with TT though as it's only available in audio
I wasn't sure about The Circle but it's starting off interestingly enough.
well i'm not going to be able to start anything now until i finish work at 5 so i'll probably just finish the one i'm reading and see if my suspicions are correct and then just start a new one

I don't think I'm going to be a fan of his writing style tbh. It's good to get to read the book before I see the movie though.
i'm currently reading
and trying to work out something, i think i have the answer but i need more clues lol
I have 30 minutes left of this book and then I'm ready to go!!

LOL! Agreed! I've been on such a mystery binge I was afraid I'd be bored with this one but so far not too bad. Maybe just a few eye rolls.. ;)
its the first one of hers I've read, really enjoyed it actually

Hope everyone has had a good start to their reading for the challenge?! Sadly, I started reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson and had to DNF it. I just couldn't push myself to finish it. I've decided to try Vassa in the Night as I have had that on my TBR for ages.
I liked Will Grayson Laura, but I listened to it on audio and the narrator was fab
Whoop finished my last challenge book so on to TT books!!Starting with a little bit of this *licks cover*

"How are you going to read this if the pages are all wet?
Lol i'm listening silly!!!*pets cover*
Haha! So you can totally lick and listen!!
My husband LOVES politics. I've found noise cancelling headphones are the only thing to drown out Question Time so I can concentrate
Ugh Question Time, the only thing that can send a statue to sleep lol
Finished my first books
However, only 1 of them seems to have page numbers pulled into the s/s so far.
I have the kindle version with my audios and you'd think that would be common, right?
(The last one may be timing since it was the most recent.)
Has anyone tried those itty-bitty truly wireless buds???
I keep eyeing them....
never heard of them K Yes just use the default page for the books and the SS will pull them out, otherwise we can do a page override.
Also asked about the new KA book as it is in audio only, they matched length etc with other similar books and came to the decision that if and when it is released on epub etc that it will be in the region of 500-530 pages (which sounds about right for KA) so if you read that one then we can override it for 501 pages giving you 60 points 😄
what's KA mean? I am no where near finishing books but I have made a good don't in my two yesterday on a two hour car ride. We're camping at the moment. I love reading with a cup of tea and beautiful hills all around

Oh a cup of tea with a good book in the mountains sounds wonderful! KA is author Kristen Ashley
Sorry Tori I completely forgot to write Kristen Ashley lol, I was going to tag the actual book and forgot to do that too 😌
I would have never guess that either, so no worries.
ugh, packing up the house as we are moving this week. Can't wait for it all to be over so we can settle in to the new house.
Congrats on the new house Emma!
Thanks Abbie, but its just a rental while we wait for our house to be built next year. We'll be there for about 1.5 years, so long enough that we will have to settle into it :)
Hope the moving goes well! I have my final uni assignment due next week and a teaching interview / observed lesson for a school I really want to teach at next week so, I'm going to have to put the books down and do some work 😔 however, after next week I will have plenty of free time to read!
Good luck with your interview! That's very exciting for you.
