I wish I had a holiday. I have way too much crap to do right now and I'm getting stressed about it :/

[Maddie]

That was me a few weeks ago. I need this holiday, and am putting it to good use, not picking up any extra work shifts. Participating in the Dewey's 24hr readathon on the last day of the holidays, which I've taken a day off work for XD Depending on the time zone of that, I'll be reading strange times XD

[Maddie]

Actually it seems like my country is one of the rare few starting at midnight XD It officially starts at 8am, which converts to midnight my time. How strange! Lucky though XD That's my favourite time to start.

As I'm getting my readathons sussed, for my Friday one I plan to finish up AB, as well as start and finish Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray, which doesn't have a ss spot yet. Might depending on the new cards. Shae's reading that with me, making it a BR.

[Maddie]

And from there I'll mood read my way through my TBR, and also my Netgalleys! I need to get back onto those haha.

I'm going to also try and finish up Ace of Shades, which I haven't read at all since start of last month :p Hopefully I still remember it. I'm halfway through, so can count it for page points only.

Posting my comment now then going to bed. I might read a little of American Panda since I have to charge my phone.

[[deleted user]]

I really need to stop half reading these books... I have like 2 half ways and can't seem to finish one or the other...

[Maddie]

Awesome :D

What comment?

[Maddie]

I still plan on reading a lot of Nod tonight/tomorrow :D

[Maddie]

Haha I'll be the same. I need to just finish up FE, but not until it counts for a card. And I just requested a bunch from the library... And my Netgalleys... XD I'm drowning

[[deleted user]]

I just want to read all the books!!! I can’t look at my overdrive cuz I get a new book. I can’t look at my kindle cuz I want a new book. I shouldn’t even look at the new cards cuz I’m looking at what book will fit it. It’s stressing me out too. Lol in a good way. I don’t think I read this much last month.

[Maddie]

Haha yeah all this temptation!

[Kelly]

Yay for all the posting going on! I’m so excited to get those new cards. I can’t wait :P

I’m going to listen to the audio of When Dimple Met Rishi now. I hope I’m going to like it that way instead of reading the ebook. I’m not really in the mood for that format right now. I’m going to focus on BRs from now on as it gets more points. I got distracted for a moment here with my last books ;).

[Maddie]

Yeah haha I can't wait too! 2 new ones when I wake up :p Or maybe even before I sleep.

Sweet!

[Maddie]

I planned on finishing Nod tonight, but I'm still only 57% done.
Tomorrow I'll be done for sure, and decently into AB.

[Maddie]

New cards:
(13)**38. Yellow Seven - 'seven yellow jerseys' - Read books which have a link to cycling - either they have a bike on the cover, the words 'bike' or 'cycle' in the title, or are tagged 'Motorcycle' or 'cycle' (these lists/shelves might help - Bikes on the Cover, Motorcycle Club Romance Books, Motorcycle Books , Popular Cycle Books)

(14)**7. Blue Six - 'Blue Six' - Read books based in New York (These shelves might help - New York (the state), Manhattan, New York City, New York, New York City, New York), or books with the words 'New' or 'York' in the title (can also be part of a word such as knew, newborn, or anew).

[Maddie]

I definitely think we should skip that bike one! That's terrible!

[Kelly]

I think both are terrible :( I have nothing for them except City of bones for Blue 6 but I really don’t want to read that :/.

I think we should skip yellow 7 for sure !

Do you guys have books for blue 6?

[Maddie]

I'm also 74% through Nod, will easily finish tomorrow and decently start Assassin's Blade.

[Maddie]

Yeah I've got books for Blue 6 :) Should I just put a skip through now? It's not like we're going to use another 3 anyway XD We've been good so far!

[Kelly]

That’s good Maddie :).

I have 3 hours left of audio for Dimple. I’ll start something else later today. I hope it could have fit the new cards but that’s not going to happen until we get a new card/skip one. So I’ll just bank my next books.

[Kelly]

I think you can but I hope it won’t bother anyone on the team?

[Maddie]

Yeah I hoped my books would fit too XD I have one book that I want to read, but not sure if I have time to XD I'll make it fit though. I'll be sweet with these readathons planned.

[Maddie]

I'll wait and see then XD

[Maddie]

I actually picked up a random book on my TBR and it actually counts, it's set in New York! So that's really exciting!

That’s great. What’s the book?
(I’m sure I could find books set in New york in my tbr pile but I’m a bit lazy to look right now ^^’)

[Maddie]

Haha no worries, Shae's also got Sleepless in Manhattan, which I think Andrea's reading as well, so we're good :)

And it's Another Faust

[Maddie]

And found another New York set one! Do you guys mind if I take 2 slots? I'll speed through during my readathon :)

[Maddie]

And now it's time for sleep. So pleased I found books that count :D Tomorrow I will read lots I promise!

Just let me know whether I should read Assassin's Blade or one of those ones

[Shae]

Andrea do you want to buddy now on Maddie’s overdrive for the new card?

I just got out and which would fit motorcycle books, but not sure when I’ll get to them and they can probably count for other spots if I get to them and no one has other books to fill that card anyway

[Maddie]

if you and Andrea read sleepless then the card is full. but I do have another I can read xD getting through the netgalleys 😃 this is so exciting haha. I really need to just read tomorrow but remember to sleep too before my readathon haha.

night guys

Sure

[Dr. Andy]

I know of a couple books that would count for Yellow Seven, but I'm okay with skipping that one

I'll set up the buddy read for Sleepless in Manhattan

[Dr. Andy]

Here's the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Velina]

I'm fine with skipping but I think Shae said she has some biker books?

[[deleted user]]

I’m good with skipping the bike one. I don’t want to pick anything up until I’m done with my current 3 books.

[[deleted user]]

All 3 of them are BRs and I really want to finish them. I keep looking at them lol.

[Dr. Andy]

You can do it!!

[Dr. Andy]

So i might finish Sleepless in Manhattan tonight whoops XD

[Kelly]

Ok so I guess we all agree to skip this one :). I’ll ask Sarah.

I believe in you! ^^

[Kelly]

That’d be awesome Andrea!

[Dr. Andy]

This book is addicting omg

[Maddie]

XD Glad you like it!

New card:
(15)**48. Yellow 'Reverse' - Play a previously completed category/card again. (will be chosen using random.org)
---26. Red Five - 'Red5 Photography' - Read books with either cameras or photographs on the cover (these lists might help - Camera on the cover, Polaroids) or, books whose titles contain the letters 'C' and 'P' (for 'Camera' and 'Photograph') (Hint - the words 'place', 'perfect', and 'escape' all contain the letters 'C' and 'P'.)

[Maddie]

I could take some spots but I've got 3 physicals already in the ss, as well as Nod which I'm finishing off hopefully now. Sooo I won't take another spot XD

[Kelly]

I’m reading , I’m halfway through. I’ll finish it tonight so we got one spot filled :).

[Maddie]

Guys I really have no idea what book to read next XD Probably do I Have Lost My Way as I just got a BR for that and it's starting tomorrow, so perfect for readathon. Just annoying as I have to read it on my phone as that won't feel like readathon material XD So I've gotta catch up to Velina in AB, and then start and finish I Have Lost My Way. Then I'll focus on Another Faust, and just keep up with Velina in AB.

[Maddie]

Sweet!

[Kelly]

So tomorrow, I can read but the BR is set for the 19th. Do you think I can start it tomorrow on the 12th or have to wait the day after that to be closer to the date?

Anyway, I have lots of options for this card so I’ll take a second spot which I’ll complete tomorrow. :)
