Awesome! :D

I'll be doing the same for the next few days. ^-^

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I feel so much better now that I've fixed my bookmarks. So much easier to find this thread! ^-^

So my goal today is 2 novels and 5 manga. I'm about 40% into my first novel and done two manga. 1.5 novels left to go and three manga! :D

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Finished my first book! ^-^

I've got a headache though so I'm not sure I'll get to my other book and three manga before I go to bed. :(

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think I'm going to try to sleep. Night all! :D


message 107: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I'm gonna try out some manga this month! I've read a couple before, but have never been serious. So I went to my library and got the first couple of volumes of Fairy Tail and Fruits Basket. I wanted Death Note, but volume 1 wasn't in.


message 108: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) How does the scoring on that work?

Abby | 5404 comments Berit☀️✨ wrote: "How does the scoring on that work?"

We get a third of the points, so 0.33 per 100 pages.


message 110: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think I'm up again for the day so when I get back in about an hour and half I can get stated on that second book and three manga! 😄


message 111: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Do you sleep all day and stay up all night? I'm trying to figure out your schedule, LOL

The trick is I have no schedule. I can't work and don't go to school so I mostly work around my mom's schedule. When she works I sleep all day when she's home I try to be up. ^-^


message 113: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I've started Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers . I don't know if I will finish it today as it's a long book but I'm hoping to get to at least 20-50%. :)


message 114: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I met my goal for Grave Mercy. I got to 39%.

I think I'm done with my books for the day. But I might pick up a novella or two. We'll see.

I do still have those three manga to try to read so I'm going to see what catches my attention. :)


message 115: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Ooooh. I just realized the Skip Beat manga series read a long has started. I'll read those! :D


message 116: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So far we are definitely in the lead. I didn't realize there were only 3 serious teams this month! :O


message 117: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Remember to search for the highest page count girls. It's uber important in this challenge! ^-^


message 118: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Just finished Kat which is part of my The Darkest Powers BR. :)


message 119: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think for my line up today I'll skip the manga after I finish the 4 BR manga that I found.

I'm focusing on Hunting Kat (Darkest Powers, #0.4) by Kelley Armstrong The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong (some of>) Darkest Powers Bonus Pack 1 (Darkest Powers Trilogy 0.5, 1.5, 2.5) by Kelley Armstrong

and hoping to finish Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers today. :)

I hate being on my night schedule. -.-


message 121: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Finished Hunting Kat. Going to play some games now hopefully. :)


message 122: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I really need to learn to read the rules. -.-

Thankfully Abbie saved me and was able to combine Kat (Darkest Powers, #0.3) by Kelley Armstrong Hunting Kat (Darkest Powers, #0.4) by Kelley Armstrong together to make enough pages for them both to count. :)


message 123: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I think I also got a new BR! I found someone on another team who wanted to read A Poison Dark and Drowning (Kingdom on Fire, #2) by Jessica Cluess so I think we are going to read it on the 19th. :)


message 124: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I'm still clearing up August reads but only got A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas to finish as a partial August read.

I will be starting some new books today just haven't decided which ones


message 125: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I didn't get as much done as I'd hope yesterday and then I slept for about 16 hours so these are my goals today. :)

The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers Darkest Powers Bonus Pack 1 (Darkest Powers Trilogy 0.5, 1.5, 2.5) by Kelley Armstrong


message 126: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Goooooooo Team Basil :)


message 127: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments Woot woot! I'll be posting a review later today.


message 128: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Same here. I'm obsessing over the book I'm reading now. Trying to take my time but I have a feeling that won't happen 😅


message 129: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Finished Grave Mercy! Woohoo! We are on fire! :D


message 130: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I'm feeling a little lazy today so I think I'll put off posting Grave Mercy till later today or maybe even tomorrow. I think I might try reading Divided (Darkest Powers, #1.5) by Kelley Armstrong now. :)


message 131: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) haha I'm having trouble trying to figure out my next book to read. I have so many under my currently reading :(


message 132: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Finished a book this morning, hopefully I will get it reviewed today, I really need to finish another book by this evening for a different challenge, however I also have plans so I'm not sure if this is going to happen.... i'm glad it is a long weekend here in the US, however I have Mondays off every week so it somehow makes my Tuesday feel more like a Monday, if that makes any sense?

Me too! Sometimes just for fun I'll use a random number generator to pick a book. At least this way I can figure out what I don't want to read. :P

You could also try looking at the BR calendar and see if any of them interest you. :)

You can do it Berit! ^-^

It does make sense. :)

It's the long weekend here too but it's more annoying than anything for me. Most stores are closed. :(


message 135: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) I'm going to a baseball game tomorrow :) so I'm trying to get as much reading done as I can today.

message 137: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments Bookbuyer, I use random.org as well. Otherwise, I'd never get to some of these books!


message 138: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Oh the stores never close in the good old USA, we have special long weekend sales!🤑

message 140: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I finished The Awakening (Darkest Powers, #2) by Kelley Armstrong hopefully I'll have the energy to write my review for it and Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers today as well as comment on the BR threads so that we can get the points.

Still working on Darkest Powers Bonus Pack 1 (Darkest Powers Trilogy 0.5, 1.5, 2.5) by Kelley Armstrong

and I'm now going to start another BR Carrie by Stephen King

I'll probably start another book or two as well but those will be my focus. :)


message 141: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Got in my review from the book I finished late last night... I don't know if I will get the chance to finish a book today, but I will definitely try. I will be gone for quite sometime I think from 12pm-10/11pm? The baseball game is in another state and I don't know what the traffic will be like. It's 8 am now so I will read for a couple of hours. I hope everyone has a good Labor Day :)


message 142: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I will have a couple reviews to post tonight, just did not get it done yesterday :-)


message 143: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Yay! The Yankees won and I am surprisingly home now for the night. So I will go back to reading after cooking dinner. I am so happy everyone reads in this group...in the other challenge I'm doing no one has posted a review yet :(

Alaina (ameserole) My goal is to at least finish 4 books today.


message 146: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Only 4? LOL I'm not sure how you do it :-)

Even at my peak I don't think I read 4 books a day. O.o I can do 4 manga a day but those are really short. lol. :P


message 148: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) hahahah.. I think one day I read like 6 books all over 500 pages. It could have been 5 though, I honestly can't remember. If it's a good book, I'm like instantly hooked and I just keep reading. As long as I get points for us that's good for me :)

O.O

The most amount of pages I read in a day was one of the later Harry Potter books. I can't remember which one it was right now but I think it was Half Blood Prince.


message 150: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments I only read up to 200 pages a day, but I work and also have a Netflix addiction.
