I'll be joining you on a few of these! :)
Great! I'm finding I shouldn't do more than two BRs a month. Only one if I'm reading Robert Jordan that month.
Yeah I agree, I really overbooked this month!I'd love to read Wheel of Time at some point. How are you finding them?
Well I already owned the first book. The second I bought for Kindle. The rest I am finding at used bookstores. In Richmond, there is an amazing store called 2nd and Charles and bought four more of the series for about $2 each! There is a 2nd and Charles about 1.25 hr from me that I've yet to explore. Trying to avoid paying full price.

Don't say that guys... looking at my tracker I'm signed up for 4-5 BRs every month through April except for December... (excluding follow-alongs I'll be joining in later books)... and I think I'm a bit behind on updating with more I've signed on to... I HAVE been trying to STOP signing up for more, tho... with limited success...Hope you enjoy WoT Jess... I read them 2005/2010 then as they released...

But I meant how were you finding the story? XD are you enjoying it? Sorry!
This tracker is proving I'm not as fast a reader as I thought I was. Lost a week worth of reading when I was hospitalized last week with pancreatitis. Trying to catch up!

Well I'm not quite back to normal yet. Have spent the day in bed plugging away at The Great Hunt! So there is some positive coming out of this!

@Zaara, have you started Malazan? Im through Ch5 and dont really know what to think of this beginning.
@Jess...thanks for the encouragement. Looks like you got thru Gardens ok despite your rocky start, sorry I missed that post. My notifications have been wonky for a month and I've written to GR abt it.Oh and here's a poor joke + some rich treats...all towards kicking pancreatitis in the bells...
@Jess's Pancreatitis...we luuuurve youz...we think youz outta this world...
And we hope you stay there!
(view spoiler)
Aww *blushing and gushing* thank you for your super sweet note to the bane of my existence; the old PC.*pokes PC* “Listen well!”
But yea, this competition is really motivating me to read as much as humanly possible in my life.
P.S. I friggin love donuts! Maybe specifically bc my PC hates them! “I will spite thee!”
Ack, sorry Jess didn't mean to trigger ya...just put it down to my nonexistent medical knowledge...*Facepalm*
There!
I've put it inside a spoiler so you don't see it each time you come here.

Hailee, please stay calm. The officers have been notified and are on the way. They will be bringing Fahrenheit 451 for reference and will need access to your library. Please have your ID and library card handy, and any Amazon credit cards you have. Stay calm and they will be there soon. Also, you may want to clear your driveway for the 1-800-JUNK dumpster.
I told them not to send the firetrucks. Psychologist follow-up!
Thank god!! Please also have them on standby through the month of April. I think I'm going to be needing them quite a lot 😅🤯
We’re both on the Book Rescue List!!Def gonna use them April & August.

Hey Jess..thought I'd reply here instead of there.Woop congrats for July. I never vote for the BoTM (xept for the once ages ago a poll which ran in 2017 with Tower Lord, was it? which reminds me I still haven't finished Tower Lord) BECAUSE to me that implies a moral commitment to read the book...😂😂😂 and I am such a slowpoke.
Besides, in recent times...I've owned none...literally none of the book selections. Including these ones.
I looked them up...your noms they're cool.
Still, I don't think my one vote would make any difference to the ultimate result.
But I hope the Viking book or the Carey one wins. Best of luck!
Zaar,Hey, I havent read a single botm yet! But I WILL be doing Starless (the winner!) in July, even thouh I voted otherwise! Bc I purposely made sure that July I would do no BRs bc Im feeling worn out by then lately!
Bc if you pick one botm to read, should be the one you nominate!

Would like to read Robin Hobb's Assassin Trilogy since I've heard good things.
Reading these takes up a lot of my reading time (esp Jordan's work). So anything besides the Wheel of Time would be dropped from my schedule first.
