oh thanks Anni.. I just updated in my sheet. Finished my first book after joining the challenge.. :-D

Sedat Yıldız | 263 comments Good news everyone! I spared some of my time and calculated my June plan in my spreadsheet, and it seems if I can finish every book I planned this month (which I'm kind of behind but I'm hoping I can read like a no life after today, lol) I'll provide 140 points for our team!! Considering I find a challenge for each book which is not that hard since I'm just starting challenges.. So... YEY!!

We may be behind 600 points but that's nothing, we can easily win this :)

Aw that's good! You're so strong, I purposefully didn't go to a market because I knew I wasn't allowed to buy books haha.

Anni | 5066 comments I added some points yesterday :) And my split up, german copy of Words of Radiance earned me 31.4 Points 😁😱 Yey!

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments So. Goodreads messed my beautiful notification system and it seems that for ages I got no notifications from the group. :(

I have been updating my points monthly so don't be deceived by the lack of progress. It's reading as usual. :D

That's great, I'm going to start Oathbringer this month too :) I'm so excited, but I don't have the audiobook, so finishing it will take me forever 😅

Haha, maybe I'm still reading when you start and finish Words of Radiance in September :D


message 313: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8703 comments Haha! Probably not, but if so I will definitely join you then! I'm requesting Oathbringer paperbacks for my birthday in September because that's when they're released here. The hardback scares me... 😂

Anni | 5066 comments Haha, a great name :D
But the first thing I thougt is 'Huh, so we're doing the hard work in contrast to the Fluffers' 😂

I blame Virginie! 😜

Virginie | 6109 comments Mmmmh... I was refraining from posting this:

There's a mistake. I think you meant: The Extremely Hard Working Jaghut Guardians

😂

EDIT: And that makes it 3 out of 4 team threads I invaded with inappropriate jokes...


message 320: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments 😂 Well... I guess we're at a point where it's extremly hard to find a uncontroversial name...

Brian | 1681 comments Great job!! I’ve been slugging through Clash of Kings and just started Name if the Wind. Been slow lately...


message 332: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks Jenna, Siobhan and Brian.
@Brian. You will get there. Trust me, you do feel inspired to read books at all the wrong times. I just started another one and I have my exams starting from day after tomorrow and I don't want to leave that book but I haven't prepared so I have to.

Haha yes! Congrats!

As a fun related question: what was everyone else's lowest amount of points they got for a book?

Good job! Pointwise I'm ahead of you right now (I have no idea how this happened!), but if you continue like this you will beat Choko in no time 😜

For me it's The Silver Chair with 2.0 points ;) But I'm started Mitosis today, that will be less for sure.
