Famous last words. :P

[Maddie]

Let's see.

[grimple]

I'm from the states too, but up north :~)

[Jacquelyn]

Do you call soda "pop?" hahaha 😃😂 I have a friend from MN and it drives us all crazy down here. 😂

[Maddie]

We call it fizzy drink :p

[Jacquelyn]

Lol, sorry. That's my automatic question for anyone up North. :D

[grimple]

Haha nooo I thought that was a southern thing!

[Jacquelyn]

Maddie, you are killing me. 😂😂😂

[Maddie]

Why? Coz I'm trespassing? :p

[Jacquelyn]

That's exactly why. It makes me think of the scene from Mean Girls "She doesn't even go here!"

[Maddie]

Haha alright :p Well I'll just leave them :'(

[Jacquelyn]

No, I think it's mid western? Down here in the South we call it soda or we call every kind of soda "coke."

[Maddie]

That's weird, calling everything Coke.

You don't have to leave it just makes me laugh! :D It's because I don't expect to see your comments hahaha

[Jacquelyn]

For us, it's just a general term like Kleenex, or Band-Aid.

[grimple]

I love hearing what other places call things! But right now I'm blanking and can think of literally 0 hahaha

[Jacquelyn]

Blanking on what? And Grace in case you don't know Maddie she's from New Zealand. :D

[Jacquelyn]

Also, I love having bookish friends on Snapchat so if anyone wants to friend me, my username is JacquelynRose94 :D

[grimple]

On things that have different names in different locations 😂 Like pop and soda. & Oh that's awesome, I would love to go there someday! And just any place outside of the U.S. hahaha

[Jacquelyn]

And like shopping cart vs buggy

We don't call tissues Kleenex. We just call them tissues.

[Maddie]

vs trolley (what we call them)

[Jacquelyn]

Well in 'MERICA we do 😂

[Maddie]

XD I knooooow.

[Elizabeth Emily]

I'm from England and sorry I'm slacking guys. I was hoping to have Morning Star finished by now but it's taking longer than I expected. However I do have a review to upload for Shiver so that should get us some points. Come on guys we can do this. And I agree we need to stay in front of Vienetta.. sorry Maddie😆x

[Jacquelyn]

I just finished

@Elizabeth Emily Ooo I've always wanted to visit there! I've only been to France and Italy.

I'm heading to bed it's 5am here, and I haven't slept yet. The last couple of months I've read about 9 books a month, but I've already finished two. So we'll see, hopefully, I'll read more this month.

[Elizabeth Emily]

I've just uploaded my review for Shiver and I'm hopefully going to Italy next year😌 I'm so excited

[Elizabeth Emily]

Okay we're now 4th but we're not that far behind and Sarah missed one of our reviews off so we have got more points than it says, come on team we can do this. 😌

You've failed :p We're up from second-last to 2nd (I think) XD I'm loving this competition though! It's always so helpful!

[Carolyn]

I'm slowly reading my book. I'm hoping I'll get through it by today. Tomorrow at the latest.

I'm from the South. South Carolina, to be exact. Right now, I'm at the beach and the house across from us has some weird people who are from New York. They are strange. Quick question (it's kinda weird): do girls in the north shave their armpits? The girl across the street from won't shave her armpits and we can't figure out why.

[Klancy]

Jacquelyn wrote: "Klancy, that sounds great! Just let me know when you'd want to read them!"

Which of the three would you want to read first? I'm honestly up for either of them!

I'm not sure how long it will take us to finish , but we can definitely start something else after it!

I'm from the Midwest and we call it pop. It's weird for me even to think about it as soda. XD

[Elizabeth Emily]

Ive finished Aurabel and will add it to the review thread either tonight or tomorrow 😌

[Jacquelyn]

That's cool Carolyn! I'm from Kentucky. 😃

Klancy, let's read The Chemist and then maybe Truthwith? The chemis is a pretty pig book, about the size of Twilight. So we can get a good amount of points

[Jacquelyn]

Chemist*

[Jacquelyn]

Is anyone creeping on Maddie's page? It's only fair 😉

[grimple]

I have to work 4-11 today 😭😭 But I'll try to read as much as possible before hand

[Elizabeth Emily]

I've got work 5 till probably just past midnight so I've completed Aurabel which was another 300 pages this morning and if I'm not too tired when I get home I'll try and make some more progress with Morning Star. I will also be starting the iron warrior soon. I'm hoping to have Morning Star done by Monday which will be another 5/600 points. Come on guys we got this. 💪🏻😌

[Jacquelyn]

Well have fun at work, I will be reading a lot tonight as well. Don't stress yourself out. 😊

[Elizabeth Emily]

Just found an edition for Morning Star with 912 pages and I haven't looked through them all yet👌🏻💪🏻 yessssss

[Jacquelyn]

I have a lot of wedding planning to do, so I won't be able to read until late tonight

[Jacquelyn]

Woo! Teamwork makes the dream work!! Go us!!

[Elizabeth Emily]

Thanks Jacqueline. I get way too competitive with these things. 😌

[Jacquelyn]

Oh, don't worry, I do too! Especially when it comes to Maddie. 😂😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels competitive.
Speaking of which I subscribed to their notifications for their review page so I can keep checking their score. 😂

[Jacquelyn]

They are 1.87 points ahead of us.

[Carolyn]

Don't worry. I'll post all my reviews tomorrow as soon as I can get to my computer. The Mystery of Hollow Places only have 290-300 pages. I have to check the other editions. I'm 128-129 pages in. Let's keep up the good work!

[Elizabeth Emily]

Haha I'm subscribed to the three teams review threads that are ahead of us so I can keep an eye on the scores just to see what kind of margin we are looking at 😂

[Jacquelyn]

Y'all are the best!

[Carolyn]

😂

[Carolyn]

46% done with The Mystery of Hollow Places!

[Jacquelyn]

Yay!!
