Welcome!

I have a few re-reads. I haven’t checked the rules so I hope it’s allowed. They are over 1 year since I read them.

I don't think there was a rule stating no rereads. So you are more than welcome to reread books (especially if it has been over 1 year).

I’m hoping to finish cruel prince today. I was busy at work so I couldn’t read 😩 but I’m going back tonight and I should be able to at least get halfway through Marked.


message 25: by Alaina (new)

message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

I’m gonna try to do my posts today. I’ve been reading but have been at work too much so I haven’t been able to do updates. I’ve read 4 books so far, all BRs


message 33: by [deleted user] (new)

yay got my reviews up and done... I'm reading The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-0.5) by Sarah J. Maas now... I shall have it done tomorrow, I will also try to make a dent on Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard, #1) by Christina Lauren and then we will see what other BR's I want to jump into after that...


message 34: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) just saw your posts! I read a ton of books the last two days but I only put them as read and gave them a rating. I'm going to see how many reviews I can knock out and see which books can work for our challenge then post them


message 35: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) I uploaded some reviews but I need to shower and head to work. I still have more, maybe like 2-3 regular reviews and then like 4-5 buddy comments/reviews to write. I'll try to get them up while at work (if I have time and get there early). If not I will post them on my lunch break or when I get home tonight.


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Girllll u r a reading monster! Someday I want to be at least half as good. There r sooo many good books out there and I feel such a slow reader 😩. But yeah u good!!!


message 37: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Haha I just get really bored at work. Audio books are my best friend there. Or kindle books. I think I added all of the ones with out buddy reads. So I think I have like 4 more reviews and buddy comments left to write. I don’t know if I’ll have time at work today unless it’s on my lunch break. If not I’ll add them up when I get home. Plus whatever books I get done today.


message 38: by [deleted user] (new)

The hardest part for me is writing the reviews. I wish I could just dictate it. I bet I could I would just have to figure it out lol. I also love audiobooks. I get to read at work sometimes. Most of the time is 1 hour only but I get to audio book on my 2 hr commute so Yeay for that.


message 39: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Yay for audiobooks! I have a bunch on my phone from kindle or audible so I just listen to them with a headphone in one ear.


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

My goal this month is to at least 1 book a day. I’m a book behind though 😩 will catch up today. I’m off the next 3 days. And my child goes to school so Yeay for audiobooks again cuz I gotta clean my house that I’ve neglected lol.


message 41: by Jenn (new)

Jenn (tellingmelies) | 9751 comments Mod
