We got a wild card ! Cinthia can post her update so that’s cool. And I’m not sure what you guys have been reading that didn’t fit any categories until now?

[[deleted user]]

Can I use the wild card for Children of blood and bone too? Or is that too greedy? I should be done with it today.

Go ahead and take a spot if you're going to finish it so quickly

[Dr. Andy]

My plan for tonight is to finish Finnikin and start Battle of the Labyrinth. After I'm done with that I'll do Wolf Speaker. So I won't claim anything else besides these three spots I have.

[Dr. Andy]

The cards we're closest to finishing right now are the Yellow Draw Two: need Kelly's Painted Man and Maddie's The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue.

And Red One: need Shae's Gemina and Velina's Thunderhead.

[Kelly]

Nice! Le’ts keep our first place, shall we? ;)

I’m 200 pages in the painted man, 330 left so should be able to finish it tomorrow morning.

[Maddie]

YAY we totally got this :D Even though most of the reading will slow down (or that's what I assume from what you guys have said) I'll still be going strong, even stronger once next week's done XD Got 4 24hr readathons planned over 2 weeks, which'll be crazy haha.

I'm starting up Gentleman's in a few hours and will finish it tomorrow.

I even sent Sarah a message being like 'I really hope we get a wildcard because all of the other teams have at least 2' and we got one! XD When I was scrolling down on the review thread I had my fingers crossed so much haha.

[Maddie]

Velina also finished Gifted Thief, but I've seen that the ss wild card slot is already full.

[Maddie]

She's also started Thunderhead.

[Maddie]

We've been unlucky with our cards and still on top of the leaderboard XD And haven't used a skip yet like the others have.

I have 5 hours left of the audio so we’ll finish the card tomorrow ! :D

[Maddie]

Awesome! And then we get a new category :D

Did you want to sprint now Kelly? By any chance?

Sure ! :)

[Maddie]

Awesome! T/L?

How long are you on for?

[Kelly]

Until I fall asleep so probably 3-4 hours; and you ?
why don’t you pick for us a t/l ? ^^

[Maddie]

Oh wow that's ages :D I'm not sure how long I'm on for haha. Actually, as you're on for so long, I'll do a little bit of study now haha. I have a test on Monday that I haven't really studied for.

So I'll post back in probably half an hour to sprint then :)

[Kelly]

Okay see you then :).

[Maddie]

Perfect thanks.

[Maddie]

Actually I might also play a game or two on computer, but I'll definitely post back here at some point :) Want to get more than 20 pages into Final Empire XD

[Shae]

Will be finished with Percy and hopefully Simon today. Then I’ll get stuck right into Gemina (currently 20%) and start 1st to die which is the b one :)

[Maddie]

Yay!

[Dr. Andy]

I'm waiting for other people to finish a test so I can leave. This is dumb why do I have to wait for slow pokes!? I just want to go home and read ugh!

[Shae]

Ugggh that sucks!!

I am trying to read all day today and finish simon before I see the movie in 4 hours. Hmm not sure if I can do it or not haha when I actually think about it.

Anyone want to sprint??

Also where are you guys from?

I’m from Australia. I’m a teacher, currently off work at the moment (special ed teacher and had an incident with a violent student). I am back next week so not as much reading, but only one week till our 2 week school holidays. Which I’m hoping to continue reading lots amongst playing with my nearly 2 year old son :)

[Dr. Andy]

I can sprint with you once I finally get home 😂😂

I'm in the US, specifically the state of Illinois. I'm a graduate student at UIUC.

Awesome that will be great!

Just looked up Illinois, so Chicago is in that state? I would love to visit America one day! I’ve been to Hawaii, but I don’t count that haha which is so bad of me as it is the US, but I feel like it has made its own mark in itself

[Dr. Andy]

Yes I grew up outside Chicago 😍😍 I love that city so much.

I just got home so if you want to sprint let me know

[izzy]

how do i know which team i'm on?

I see Reagan on book tube lives there. It looks like a fun city!

I am keen for some sprints :) how’s :45 for 20?

[Dr. Andy]

Sounds good to me. See you at :05

[Shae]

Awesome!

[Shae]

9% read/ 42% done
Loving this book! Again?

[Dr. Andy]

I don't know what page I started on 😂😂 but I think I finished like 30 ish.

Yeah I can go again. :15 for 20?

[Shae]

Good job! Yes :15 for 20 is great :) see you at :35

[Dr. Andy]

I read 10 pages 😂 only bc I had to update my buddy read and message my group back. Only 70 pages left!!

[Shae]

6% read :)

[Shae]

6% read :)

[Shae]

Woo good job. Want to keep going?

[Dr. Andy]

Yes let's do something a bit longer. :45 for 30??

[Shae]

Sounds good! See you at :15! Going to start now so I can get into this some more

[Dr. Andy]

I read like 40 pages!! Only 30 more left omg

[Shae]

14%

I’ve got 35% left! I can do this :)

[Dr. Andy]

We've both got this!!

[Shae]

Yes we do!
Ok :30 for 30?

[Dr. Andy]

I won't need 30 mins to finish now but sure thing lol

[Dr. Andy]

Finished Finnikin! And I'm so exhasuted. Posting my updates and I'm going to pass out

[Shae]

Oh how did you like finnikin? I really feel like I need to reread it!! I am loving my book, so I’ll happily finish solo. Thanks for the sprints :)

[Dr. Andy]

Of course!! I absolutely loved Simon when I read it last month :D

In the end, Finnikin was decent. Really hard for me to get into it at first and I didn't like the first half but the second half redeemed it.

[Maddie]

and now I'm holding people up xD I'm 40 pages into final empire! I'll get a bit more read tonight, hopefully to page 100, and then hopefully another 150 pages tomorrow. I think if I have a goal it will be easier to accomplish this 650 page book. and if I end up reading assassin's blade too then I'll just schedule both haha
