Just Another Group Hurling Under The Strain
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.

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

Haha, a great name :DBut the first thing I thougt is 'Huh, so we're doing the hard work in contrast to the Fluffers' 😂
I blame Virginie! 😜
Mmmmh... I was refraining from posting this:There's a mistake. I think you meant: The Extremely Hard
😂
EDIT: And that makes it 3 out of 4 team threads I invaded with inappropriate jokes...

Mmmh... I'm not entirely happy, as a Fluffer, to be lowering things. :p

No it's fine, sometimes you have to let down some things to get other things up 😁

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

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 😜
