Hi Melissa, welcome back :)I too took a break from GR last year due to.. huh... life?
Congrats on your first 2018 Buddy Read!
@Petrik: Oh, that's good to know! Golden Son is all the way up my TBR :D
I feel I read the love child of Ender's Game & Hunger Games (except Hunger Games is "blerhg" IMO)
I was trying to add my read to the excel file but I cannot see the file as shared with me. Am I missing something? I was hoping to get some work off of Niki and Rob!

The sharing settings are set so you should be able to access it so long you have the link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
But I'm not an expert. If you PM me a gmail adress, maybe I can try and send you an invite?
Thank you Virginie! That’s very thoughtful! I guess part of the problem is that I am working on the iPad. I will try to open it on a computer, it might make a difference!

Your reading pace (and I knew it before the challenge) amazes me. It is impressive!
I will start this trilogy sooner rather than later and I cannot wait, considering how you are praising it!

@Virgine, Aristea, Diana: Thank you!! Haha, This is how I am mostly towards books that I loved. I really don't understand the concept of savoring books xD If I love a book, I will end up reading it really fast because I keep on stealing some time to read, even during working hours

I have to confess I did not look into it just yet. I will try to do so tonight after work. Hopefully it works!
I am a fake fast reader - it really depends on the weeks, my mood and work. I love that we are in a challenge that pushes me a lot more than I would do for myself; so half of the result is due to my innate spirit of competition. :O

Sorry I've been so absent lately guys, my reading speed has been completely tanked lately because I've just gotten so crazy busy =[.

This challenge is making me reading more than ever too. I'm usually not very competitive but... Filling out the spreadsheet and ticking boxes on my challenge threads? Love it. 😅

Baby points for an evening's read. Touching but very cheesy and YA. Oh well!
@Liam: don't apologize for your reading pace. I just hope that if you're busy, it's because life is giving you tons of fun and happiness! 😊
