Beginning to move my piece to the first square on Bard. I'm going to start reading Ouija by Katherine Turner and hoping for a 24 hour read again, to check off a check-mark on my Read-a-Thin readathon.
I'm also hoping to finish strong on the Tome Topple, thou this book isn't on this list.

I just finished reading Kraken, 509 pages. I'm reading for the inner square, "Grind, a book with 500 pages". This one I decided to read is The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, that has 513 pages. I also exchanged for a different book then I originally chose on the Mage's square, A book set in a different world. I will be starting This Savage Song.

Sherri | 13 comments I completed another square on the Mage's board, finishing The Savage Song by Victoria Schwab. 427 pages, and I began the sequel today as well, Our Dark Duet. I think I will put Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab on my "open world" inner square to be able to add it to the readingquest.
I also will begin tonight Blackhearts (Blackhearts, #1) by Nicole Castroman for another Mage square, A book with a one word title.

Sherri | 13 comments I can check off another square on the Mage's row. I finished today Blackhearts (Blackhearts, #1) by Nicole Castroman by Nicole Castroman with 369 pages. I am glad I won't have to wait too long for Blacksouls which is on my September TBR, maybe even for Sequel September that I saw on a blog hosted by Kathy@Books&Munches, for I must know what happens next. :)

I am currently reading for my last square on the Mage's row, The Shadow Queen (Ravenspire, #1) by C.J. Redwine . Then if I get it done on time, I will move onto the Knight's row.
I am thinking even after the event of the reading quest is over, I will continue on reading and filling in the rest of the squares for I am having so much fun. I am curious how long it would take me to check them all off. :) Happy reading.

Sherri | 13 comments I got one more book finished before the time was up. I read Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys ending at 11:30 pm last night. :) I couldn't not put it down, I think I might re-read this book so I can get all the details.
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys was for my inner square of Time Warp. It is set in Winter of 1945, four teenagers, four secrets... 391 pages
