Finished starting

[Adriana]

Sweet!

[Maddie]

Alright thanks :D

[Maddie]

Aly and Kim, when are you guys going to have a review up? Just wondering, because we're 1/3 of the way though the month XD

[Sophie]

Guys I finished and it got us 12 points! I am starting now.
Maddison I think the girls are just busy. Since they haven't even edited the spreadsheet I think we should just plan ahead without them and if they find some time I am sure they will let us know and post something.

[Maddie]

Yeah that's true. Hopefully they'll have something up soon.

I'm hopefully finishing Gemina tomorrow (at least 12 points) and starting Horde.

[Sophie]

Perfect! Let me know if you like it because I have heard great things about it and I am thinking about picking it up soon.

[Maddie]

Gemina? So far it's alright. Making a bit more sense than Illuminae, but it's also got a lot of similarities with plot and characters, which I find annoying :/ Hoping it'll pick up. Also me not being in the mood for it might make a difference.

[Adriana]

Wow, you girls are awesome!

I should be done with One Moment tonight. I didn't get a chance to read anything yesterday but I have time after I get some stuff done in the afternoon.

The girls must be busy. Hopefully they get the time to add something later on.

Did you get my suggestion to move Jewel to set in another world if it doesn't go with orphan? I can always ask Abbie to switch ACOWAR to book with an author named Sarah.

[Maddie]

Yeah I did, just didn't get around to changing the spreadsheet. But yeah that would be nice thank you :) Do I change it now?

[Adriana]

I can do it right now. I'll let Abbie know to switch ACOWAR.

I didn't get to finish my book. I didn't feel well yesterday night or this morning. I'll see when I can get to it. ):

[Maddie]

Thanks!

Yeah I'm running super behind on my books as well :/ I've just started playing computer games again so that's had my attention. I knew I shouldn't have started because this would happen. But today and most of tomorrow are reading days that I'm dedicating, soooo wish me luck!

[Sophie]

Hope you get better Adriana!
I didn't read much today either. I started watching a TV series and ended up doing a marathon...
I will try and finish my book tomorrow. After my boarding school book I don't know what I will pick up. I'll see...

[Adriana]

Feeling a little better so I read One Moment. Boy, was that a fast read... I was skimming so much because it was so bad...

Reading next: . I haven't read this since I was a kid. I remember nothing!

Thanks Sophie (:

What game and what show? I've been watching old tv shows. I finished Parks and Rec recently.

[Maddie]

So I'm 57% through The Jewel now, 47% through Caraval and still something like 27% through Gemina. Paused Gemina. Wasn't getting my attention and I need to read challenge books. Sooo yeah. Starting Horde today too and getting to 25%.

[Adriana]

lol. I can't read that many books at a time. I can only maintain my attention on one. It looks like you are going to finish them all around the same time which is cool.

[Maddie]

Yeah I'm aiming for them to be done on Saturday/Sunday. So it may look like a review dump, but I promise it's not.

[Adriana]

I don't mind :P

I asked Sarah to send a message to Aly and Kim. I just looked and Aly has been active but Kim hasn't.

[Maddie]

Yeah I saw that question

[❤ Aly ❤]

Hey team. I'm still participating. I just haven't had much luck in finding stuff to fit the categories.. I'm going to get on it. Will be posting several reviews this weekend, hopefully.

[Sophie]

Hey Aly! That's cool.
Finished my Boarding school book. Posting my review now.
I will do some research about what I can read next based on the categories that are free. I'm thinking about picking up for a book with a beach on the cover.

[Maddie]

Hoping you liked that book more than I did Sophie. I didn't like it much.

Sorry I haven't read a book in days. Just haven't been in the mood, and I've been scheduling all of my reads :/ Sooo yeah I plan on finishing them on Sunday/Monday.

[Adriana]

Hey Aly! Awesome, what books have you read?

Oh no, well if you plan on reading The Siren Sophie I hope you like it more than Maddie did (:

[❤ Aly ❤]

If finished Swipe last week and I'm currently reading Fever 1793

[Adriana]

You can put Swipe for: Need a hand? We each have 8! Read a fantasy story.

This version of Fever 1793 has flies on it so you can put it for A tiny bite can make you itch – read a book with something that flies on the cover.

@Maddie - I believe you can move Crown's Fate to house and Bad Beginning can be moved to orphan. That way fantasy is already done. If that's okay I'll change it on the spreadsheet.

@Sophie - If it's okay with you we can switch Raven Boys to the book with the R. Aly can add her book to the flying one and I can put Redwall to 1995.

Let me know what you think girls!

[Sophie]

I'm cool with these changes Adriana!

[Sophie]

Also, I hopefully will start the Siren tomorrow and I don't think it will take that long to finish.
Adriana, I started watching Suits, the TV series I told you about, and it proved out to be a huge mistake because now I am obsessed lol

[Maddie]

@Adriana: Yeah sure but does everything else all still work?

[❤ Aly ❤]

Will update tonight

[Maddie]

Awesome good work Aly!

Leviathan will be good for this challenge too :) Double points from both of us.

So I'm finally coming to the end of some books! Tomorrow I'll be done with Horde (at least 8 points) and also The Jewelon Sunday (probably 6-8) if not on today. Caraval will be finished on Monday, and Gemina probably Tuesday/Wednesday. Thursday I'll be done with Leviathan, and not really sure on any finish dates from then XD

[Maddie]

Just keeping updated.

[Adriana]

Yes, everything will still work! I'll change it now and let Abbie know the changes.

I'll read the missing book after Redwall. This way we should be done with part 3 on Monday (:

Redwall will be 5 points and Don't You Cry 4 points. I only have one other BR book that I want to read this month which I put for our second round. Once I finish everything else I'll read it and it'll be 8 points.

[Adriana]

Aly, on the spreadsheet we have you for paranormal. Was there a book you were going to read there or do you want to take it off?

Sophie, oh I know that one! I haven't seen it yet but it has an interesting premise. I wish I could get obsessed with another series! I feel like I've seen so many. I was trying to get into Lost Girl but it looks like she won't end up with the person I like (I'm usually into shows because of the romances...)

[Adriana]

I spoke too soon. If no one else does a horror book by next week I have a BR that works. It depends on what I can get read before.

[Maddie]

I won't read a horror book. Got too much else on my plate.

[Maddie]

@Adriana: Thanks for asking about the house for me!

[Adriana]

No problem.

I'm finally on the last part of Redwall so it looks like I'll have it finished tonight :D

[Maddie]

Nice work! I've got around 2-3 hours left until I finish Horde. Any chance you'd like to sprint?

[Adriana]

Oops sorry! Missed your message :/

[Maddie]

It's fine XD I'm still here. Well I will be in a few minutes. Just proofreading my assignment.

[Maddie]

Finished Horde :D 60% through The Jewel

[Maddie]

Changed my book from Private to Leviathan to go with Gemina to make 800 pages. I need to read Leviathan sometime so I just stuck it there. Not sure whether we're doubling up or not yet.

[Sophie]

That's great Maddison!
I will finish the Siren probably on Monday because I won't have much free time these days...

[Adriana]

Awesome Maddie!
That sounds good Sophie.
I just watched Anne with an E on Netflix. I recommend watching it. I watched a youtube series on Anne of Green Gables a while back and fell in love with Gilbert. He's literally the best <3

[Adriana]

What do you mean doubling up Maddie?

[Adriana]

I'm putting all the books I'm planning on reading the rest of the month on the spreadsheet. If I'm not reading it though and you can get a description done faster then go for it!

I'm still missing adding:

I can always switch it with my romance read and change the romance book to the BAT description once I'm done...

[Maddie]

By doubling up I mean like putting a second book down for a task that's already got a first book. Because when I put Leviathan down for the 800 pg task it's taking it heaps over the 800pg limit, because the biggest edition I can find of Gemina has 672 pages, and Leviathan has over 420 pages. That's why I stuck Private there, because that's only around 220 pages, so wondering if I could double up yet.

[Adriana]

Go for it. I added almost all my books and three of them double up. I mean try to read books with the first round if you can first. I'll have to read a second round book to finish a first round book though since it's a series read.

Unexpectedly finished a different book than I was planning. Don't You Cry might take me longer to finish. I'm not really into reading a mystery right now. I'll figure it out later today.

[Maddie]

Alright :)

[Sophie]

Finished the Siren earlier than I expected so another 8 points!
Maddison I agree with you, wasn't what I expected...
