NP. I saw that you are doing the page count challenge in YA Buddies as well. I asked for a thread there but it hasn't been created yet. I'll put it here once it's made. :)

I can also do it in Crazy for Young Adults if there is any challenge there where a BR would get you more points. ^-^

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments I just realized I commented on the completely wrong thread! O.O

Thank god I noticed before someone else commented. That's what happens when you are doing 20 different things I guess. :/

Hope you like Flame in the Mist. I remember it being good. A solid 3 star.

If you'd like and you can work with my crazy schedule I can do The Bone Witch and maybe The Girl with all the Gifts. :)

for Girl with all the gifts and Bone Witch, I'm starting today but I can absolutely update the thread and then be back when you make it to the books! It would be like a buddy read - just working with our schedules! I'm open if you are :)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments I'll be reading The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee and Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1) by Laini Taylor today.

If I can manage to finish both today I'll be moving on to Am I Normal Yet? (The Spinster Club, #1) by Holly Bourne and The Bone Witch (The Bone Witch, #1) by Rin Chupeco tomorrow

I have to make sure that my library has The Girl with all the Gifts available. I started it a few months ago and never finished. :)


message 61: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments I saw that there wasn't a BR thread for either The Bone Witch or The Girl with all the Gifts in YA Buddy. Do you want me to ask for them?

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments So my e-library only has an audio book version for some reason. There was a book one a few months ago. So I've put it on hold at my library and it should hopefully be in maybe Friday (if I'm lucky) or Monday. :)

If you can request the threads, that would be awesome! Thank you!

Doing so now. I'll make the threads for this group and ask for them in the other. I'll set the date for today so that you can comment on them whenever you start.

There's no horror folder in this group so I put it under suspense/thriller. I don't think it's worth it to make a horror folder for just one BR. :)

Hi,

Pretty good. I've at least got a plan to try to get through all my BRs. I also threw in some time for none BR books so when I get stuck I'm not booked solid. :)

Trisha | 7168 comments I loved both The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles, #1) by Mary E. Pearson & The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
SOO good!!

I hope you are liking all of those :)


message 86: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments The non BR books also work well for the I'm Thinking of a Book Challenge and Labyrinth Challenge since you don't know what you will need to read for those. :)

I'm having some difficulty with The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue but I'm getting through it.

I like Eliza and her Monsters. I'm eager to pick it back up.

Laura (acquariusgb) (acquariusgb) | 442 comments Hi everyone!

I'm leaving today. I'll probably be able to just comment because I'm taking my tablet and not the PC so I'll be posting all the reviews when I get back.

Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments Hi all! I hope you enjoy your vacation (I'm assuming) Laura!
I'm working on 2 books right now.

I Almost Forgot About You by Terry McMillan and Uprooted by Naomi Novik .

Uprooted I started last month so I can only count the pages I read this month. I have a review to put up but it's also a book I started last month.

Seems like we are doing pretty good! :)
