Team Cronus (M) chat

[Karen]

Siobhan. Persevere...we’ll get you through this slump in the offing! Love that we have chat...last month I think my teammates got fed up with being so far off the other two serious teams and some seemed to stop. Re GOT, I’ve read books one and two but they’re big ones to try and get through. Totally lose track of who’s who, but let them wash over me.

[Elizabeth Emily]

Sorry guys I fell asleep last night while I was uploading my review to the thread😳 so I didn’t get anymore reading done last night☹️I’m on a 13 hour shift today however I will read on my break but how much I’ll get done I don’t know. I’ll also read after my shift if I’m not too tired I’ll finish uploading my review on my way into work now:)

I regularly fall asleep while reading...small books only at bedtime (big ones cause serious injuries!)

[Michael]

Cool.

[Sydney]

Guys we already have 26 points by day two!

[Elizabeth Emily]

Woop! Way to go guys! We got this. I’ve finished work early so I can know read for a few extra hours. Just need to get home and then I can start properly:) should have another review up by the morning at least:) what’s everyone reading?

[Sydney]

I'm reading by your side by Kasie west, assuming it'll be a fast read and 3 points. I saw a buddy read started for it but no one else has written in it so idk

[Elizabeth Emily]

Sydney you still get the double points even if you’re the only one that writes anything for it😌

[Sydney]

Omg why??

[Karen]

I’ll post my review for Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares in a while, then I’m hoping to get at least halfway through A Wrinkle in Time.

[Elizabeth Emily]

Because a lot of the time when you make a buddy read the people don’t turn up or write anything on it apart from maybe one. So they do it to make it fair on the one who does stick to it

[Elizabeth Emily]

Karen you’re really fast!:)

[Sydney]

That's amazing! Ok cool so I'll get 6 points for this one

[Elizabeth Emily]

Awesome Sydney:)

[Sydney]

I'm heading to work but I'll definitely try to finish this book today!

[Karen]

We’ve made a cracking start!

[Sydney]

[Siobhan]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Omg so many of us for Angelfall!! Can’t wait😄and I’m finished work! Don’t think I’ll be reading for too long though as I’m back at work on the early tomorrow but I’m gonna try and fit a bit in😌

[Elizabeth Emily]

Plus me and my boyfriend had a fight this morning before I left for work so if he’s still mad at me when I get in I’ll have plenty of time to read tonight/ tomorrow night. Hopefully he’ll be talking to me again and I’ll still get some read but we’ll see. 😬

[Siobhan]

i hope you sort things quick with him x

[Elizabeth Emily]

Thanks Siobhan. Me too. It wasn’t a big one. well I don’t think it was haha so hopefully I can sort everything when I get home :) x

[Karen]

Just posted my review for (if you can get a copy, worth it if you enjoyed Pretty Little Liars but only want to read one book). Just over halfway through and really enjoying it. How is everyone else doing?

[Siobhan]

im at a loss as i can find anything i want to read lol so today im working 11 to 7 and im not going to stress about it im sure something will pop up

[Siobhan]

What were some of the best books you read last year? If i have any of them ill read them im really stuck with what to read lol

[Karen]

My post disappeared! I loved Caraval, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. The Hate U Give, anything by Becky Albertelli...what kind of stuff do you like?

[Sydney]

I'm doing my best to catch up on reading but I work a lot and I'm helping my boyfriend move

[Natalie]

Didn't have the best weekend for reading, so unfortunately the only book I finished was A Wrinkle in Time. Will post the review in a bit then that one can be counted for points c:

@Siobhan hopefully for feel better soon! As for favourites from what I read last year, I'd recommend these ones:


And the series I loved (and read all of last year):

[Elizabeth Emily]

Ive just finished work and on my way home. I’m super tired but I’m still gonna try and fit some reading in :)

[Siobhan]

oh theres some good choices there!!! i read a couple of short stories tonight after work and im glad i did. i now have the flu lol im falling apart lol

[Natalie]

Oh noooo ;u; Feel better soon?

I was attempting to read but I'm kinda failing right now XD I went to see The Greatest Showman yesterday and now I'm just listening to the soundtrack on repeat - which is AMAZING, but not the best for reading along to because you just want to sing and dance along ;D

[Karen]

Siobhan, feel better soon. Rest and recover. I’ve had to take a couple of days off as I can’t speak without barking! Still, plenty of reading time.

[Siobhan]

@Natalie my brother saw that and said it was great. @Karen plenty of rest and reading fior you

[Elizabeth Emily]

Siobhan and Karen- I hope you feel better soon!

I finally have a day off so I’m hoping to get some reading in. I want to post another review at least so here goes. Before I can start reading though I need to go and look after my Mum for a couple of hours as she has snapped her ankle. But as soon as I’m home I’ll start. It also means I can pick up a few more books from my mums that I’ve said I will buddy read👌🏻😌

[Karen]

Hope your mum is okay Elizabeth. No reading done yet today...opted to rest.

[Dr. Andy]

Natalie here's the thread for the rest of the wrinkle in time series :)
