[Dr. Andy]

Yeah I do the same thing! It definitely helps to make progress since some of the parts are slower but still super interesting.

[Maddie]

Yeah I just started audiobooks this month XD I tried before but couldn't concentrate. With all of my driving lately though I decided to give one a shot, and it worked well! Decided to pick Eragon up on audio and holy moly it helped so much! I know I probably wouldn't read it otherwise XD

[Maddie]

40pg from the end, finishing tonight.

[Tavia]

Yay!

[Maddie]

I know, finally!

[Tavia]

Did you guys know that there is supposed to be a 5th book?

[Maddie]

Nope!

[Tati]

Oh god, no, please. The 4th one was bad enough IMO

[Maddie]

XD Not pleased Tati?

[Tati]

Nope. In fact, this is one of those series that I ask myself why did I bother to finish it

[Maddie]

Oh wow XD I imagine it will feel like an accomplishment when I finally get through it. The first one dragged a little for me.

[Dr. Andy]

What's the fifth book supposed to be?

[Tavia]

It doesn't have a name or description on here yet so I'm not sure

That's just the thing, as far as I remember, there were no major loose ends after the 4th book (it did piss me off, though)

[Dr. Andy]

I haven't read the fourth yet but I'm about halfway through the third. Maybe it could be a spinoff.

[C.P.]

The last I checked, the fifth book is supposed to be set in the same world but not be an immediate sequel. More like a companion novel.

I"m doing well in the individual challenges I'm almost top 10 in the Reading Bee. I'll have to wait for scores to be updated to see where I can in the Harry Potter challenge. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

This thread isn't very active this year. I wish it was since my team isn't super chatty.

[C.P.]

There doesn't seem to be a lot of chatting on any of my goodreads groups right now.

Weird. People must actually be enjoying their summer outdoors. Or at least not on Goodreads. :(

[C.P.]

Haha. I guess so.

[Irene]

Summer here in Denmark has gone missing. So cold and windy and the leaves are turning brown already :(

[C.P.]

Is this early for that, Irene? I don't know much about weather in Denmark.

O.o

Still pretty hot here in Canada.

Yes, it's a month early or so :( We literally didn't a day with summer weather in all of July o.O
The weather is like that in the UK, probably a little less rain and 1-2C degrees colder, if I had to guess.

The weat..."

I think I would prefer that kind of summer over the one we had. It's been blazing hot and really humid. :(

[Irene]

Where in Canada are you? :) North, South?
I can already feel my seasonal affective disorder creeping up :S Too soon for that. It's gonna be a looong winter!
Luckily, I'm going to Prague next month and it's supposed to be summery over there.

You probably always want the opposite of what you have 😂

[Carolyn]

My summer has been hot, humid, and hit. Our winter this past year was warm, like in the 70s-80s.

My group's team chat has been really chatty. And we are in the lead so far, for the mediums!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm in Southern Ontario. We apparently are having typical BC weather. Is be happy to give it back to them.

I'm sorry to hear your SAD is kicking in. I have it too so I empathize. :(

I hope you like Prague! ^_^

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

My team is in last place (serious) but one of our members hasn't been able to post anything yet so hopefully when she does we'll move up. :)

[Heather]

Last month I read 25 books this month I've only read 4 so far! What's wrong with me?

[Irene]

Carolyn, where are you?

Bookbuyer, oh okay :)

_I'm on a fun team, we're in second place. That's about to change though because tomorrow starts the 7 in 7 readathon, so I'm gonna read seven books next week...

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

O.o that's a lot of books.

[Irene]

Bookbuyer wrote: "O.o that's a lot of books."

Yeah. Especially after not having read over 8 in a month since last September!
I'm gonna try my best though!

[C.P.]

I think our summer has been pretty mild. Some hot days, but not too bad.

Good luck with your seven in seven!

[Sabaha]

You lot are doing so well! I don't know but as a teen in her summer holidays I'd have thought I'd be reading much more then I am ...

I'm on the 3rd book in the Maze Runner series what about you lot?

[Dr. Andy]

Chicago's summers are always brutal. I wish it could be fall all the time!

[C.P.]

Sabaha, I'm reading a variety of things, haha. I see on your profile that you like horses. I have horses and ride. Do you like reading horse books?

[Carolyn]

I'm in South Carolina where our winters are like springs. Summer is awful. High 90s until November.

My team is first in the medium teams.

[Dr. Andy]

Overall I'm doing pretty well for the challenges but I'm having a slow weekend since I'm visiting my boyfriend.

[C.P.]

I'm in SC as well, Carolyn. What part of the state are you from?

[Sabaha]

C.P. that's great 🎉👏 Yes!! I do love horses and I hope to own one to in the future 💙 How many do you have? And for the books suprisingly no 😶 I've read War horse by Micheal Morpurgo which I LOVEDD and Horses & Pony stories by Christine Pullein - Thompson which I didn't enjoy as it was a mystery book. Do you have any suggestions?

[Sabaha]

This year Summer was quite good in the UK but now come the winter months whoopie 😣

[C.P.]

I have ten horses. And I would recommend Stay the Distance by Mara Dabrishus if you like YA contemporary at all. It's set around horse racing in New York.

[Carolyn]

Aiken

[C.P.]

I don't think I've been to Aiken. I want to though, for the horse stuff in the area. I am from near the NC border. Just south of Charlotte.

[Carolyn]

Like up there in Rock Hill or around that area? Aiken's pretty boring. You really don't here much about that horse stuff.

[C.P.]

Yep. That area. I know of a few eventers who winter in Aiken and I really like them.

[Irene]

Bookbuyer, how many have you read already?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Irene wrote: "Bookbuyer, how many have you read already?"

Only 6. I'm working on a reading schedule so I can get to as many as possible. Hence the thread post.
