message 851: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I think the plan you have up there should work. However, for the BR to count everyone would need to make 4-5 updates per novella


message 852: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I finished Sleepless in Manhattan, but I gotta eat and do some more studying so I'll post that later tonight.


message 853: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah that's the only issue haha. And a separate review for each novella. At least my goodreads challenge is going up :p

We can always just count the book as a whole, AB XD

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Kelly, can we replace your Olympian Challenger with a book? If so, we can put this edition of Assassin and the Pirate Lord in there: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...


message 855: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I don't really mind if we use each novella or the whole book since we can get 10 points for the book/novellas


message 856: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
I can't for the life of me find another place for the second novella. So we might just have to bank them XD


message 857: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah same amount of points, but we also get more card points if we count each novella separately.

Sure. If you end up posting the novellas instead of the whole book, you can take that spot.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alright that's me done XD Done something productive at least. Now to actually get these novellas finished and posted XD Gotta post at the end of each sprint in order to get my 4 updates in each novella.


message 860: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Thanks, we will :) I'll just wait though for Velina to update on the BR thread and post her completion before I totally swap it out.


message 861: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments Just posted for Amy & Roger. Now I’ll just have to figure out what I’ll read next lol. We’ll see.


message 862: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah haha. Don't you have any other books on the ss?


message 863: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments No I don't have anything placed on the ss but I'll bank books. That's totally fine with me especially since I probably won't be reading a lot in the next three days.


message 864: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alright, if you want you can take one of my places :)

I've posted up Assassin and the Pirate Lord, now getting started on the second novella, before picking up I Have Lost My Way. I do need to finish all 5 novellas before this time next week though, so I'll do one a day or so until I finish. I'll bank the next ones because it's too hard XD


message 865: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments Thanks for the offer but I'm good with not taking any spot right now. :)


message 866: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alrighty :) Mood read for a bit then XD


message 867: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Posted completion for novella 2 as well. Putting that aside until tomorrow, when I'll start and finish the next novella. Now going to start I Have Lost My Way, a book for the new card. It'll be weird because I'm reading it on my phone, and I wish I didn't have to.


message 868: by [deleted user] (new)

I also finished the Librarian. I will post it when I get home. Like in 30 minutes. Started Guardians of stone. Another BR. Yeay. I’m out doing errands so I needed another audio.


message 869: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments So I was looking at the review thread and everything and I just realized that when we get a draw two we get ten points for each card. And so if we had a draw 4 we could get 40 points from that


message 870: by [deleted user] (new)

Awesome!!


message 871: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Holy moly! So no different from normal cards, just the fact that we don't get replacements until they're all completed.

10% into I Have Lost My Way. It's interesting so far! I've read a lot today and it's not even readathon day :p :p :p That's tomorrow. I might stop now and play some Dota. Or I could keep reading, just depends how long people are sprinting for XD


message 872: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
How's Wicked Deep going Andrea? We just need that Velina's review of Pirate Lord to get a new card. She's finished Pirate Lord, just gotta post it.


message 873: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah I really have no idea what's happening with my TBR XD Probably just going out the window. I do really want to read Knife of Never Letting go this month though, so that's on the list. But I'm making good on my Netgalley resolution :D Read more XD I finished Nod today, and will finish I've Lost My Way tomorrow.

Uhhh I just started and I don't have much time to read physicals


message 875: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Also contingency plan if Sweet Reckoning doesn't work for Red One: I can use Unearthed for that spot and we will put Sweet Reckoning somewhere else.


message 876: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments So this is my reading plan, I need to "write" it down so I don't forget

Audios: Unearthed (Starting after test tomorrow), Emperor Mage, The Realms of the Gods

Physicals: Wicked Deep (Started), The Shadow Throne, Shadowsong


message 877: by [deleted user] (new)

Awesome. I always get sidetracked too I should write down what I’m supposed to read. I’m more like audiobooking this month.

But it does because Kai is a musician XD It's how she met him in the first book, bit unfair if it doesn't count.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
XD You all know my schedules :p


message 880: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Actually as I'm the last one holding us up on the Draw 2 card, I'll start the 3rd novella today. I should get it done, if not tonight then tomorrow morning during my readathon. It's only 100 pages.


message 881: by Maddie (last edited Apr 11, 2018 08:17PM) (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Technically I should just be reading all of AB in a row, and chances are I might XD I need to read it for another challenge, and that way I don't have to worry about it XD I'll see the mood tomorrow, got a lot of different options. Contemporary, fantasy or paranormal haha.

My TBR for my readathon tomorrow is to finish off I've Lost My Way (6-8 points) which should take around 4 hours. Maybe AB, probably another 4-5 hours of that as well. By that point I'll be 9hr in, and then will start Another Faust, which should take me 5-6hr. Then I'll jump in on another Netgalley, trying to get rid of those before they expire. That'll realistically be my TBR for tomorrow. Might be more, might be less. Might also change up when we get our new card(s).

Andrea I can take your Wicked Deep spot if you want, there's another edition of the 4th novella that counts there. But only if it's okay with you.


message 882: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments @Maddie I want Sweet reckoning to count! I'm just worried it might not since it doesn't say anything about music/bands in the description. Sarah will hopefully count it. I'm just making plan Bs haha. And yeah if you'll finish something for The Wicked Deep that's no problem.


message 883: by [deleted user] (new)

done posting my review... I hope I make a dent on Deep Blue (Waterfire Saga, #1) by Jennifer Donnelly at work tonight... I'm gonna take a break and watch some more Game of Thrones... my addiction lol...


message 884: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alright sweet haha.

And yeah I really hope it does too. I've always got second plans though. I'm kind of actually mood reading this month, and it's amazing! Not even feeling too stressed :p But I do need to get Knife finished this month as Shae and I are seeing Patrick Ness at the festival next month, so I want to have read that book to take and get signed. Same with Jay Kristoff. I've got Nevernight on its way to me now that I'll read before then as well. I might take over Illuminae and get that signed. I want to get all of them signed but that takes up a lot of weight and I want to buy books over there XD

Nevernight was amazing :D

I just know I need a lot of time, as it's big and the font is small.


message 888: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments I hope we wont give sarah a headache with all our changes lol.


message 889: by [deleted user] (new)

I don’t think she minds. She did the changes for our team all confusing last mOnth for scrabble. She is awesome!!


message 890: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah haha she's incredible. And we've said what we want done anyway :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alright gonna sleep now for 3hr before my readathon. We'll get 3 new cards tomorrow :D Go us! That's a lot of choice haha. And I should get all of my books off the ss so I'll be free to read for cards. Thinking I should pick up one from my original TBR rather than my Netgalleys. I need to get acowar read this month too at some point


message 892: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
I'll definitely keep you guys updated throughout the day :p


message 893: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Just finished and posted Gemina :) loved it!! It was amazing!!!


message 894: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yay :D New card

(16)**16. Green Five - 'D&C GREEN 5' - Read books with coloured hair on the cover, or read books with long hair on the cover (These lists might help - Rainbow Hair, Really Long Hair), or read books with the word 'hair' in the title (can also be part of another word such as 'hairspray', 'chair', 'lothaire').

Long hard seems a bit up to the interpretation, but it isn't a tricky card :) Going to ask her if Scarborough Fair (Scarborough Fair, #1) by Margarita Morris works as long hair. I also think that the final ToG novella will work, but I'll ask on that too. If the final one works, then all of the others will work too.


message 895: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Also asked about acowar, because if that counts and Scarborough Fair doesn't, then I'll jump into that.


message 896: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
5min, just enough time for a bathroom break and to get started.


message 897: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments I also thought of The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray by B.A. Williamson with the bright orange hair


message 898: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Alriiiight found my sprinter for the first few sprints (I hope XD) so I'm all set! Aaaaaand it's go time! This is going to be good guys XD Hoping that my books count for long hair XD Not sure if I should get into acowar right now, but what better time XD


message 899: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
But is that long? It just depends. I'll send her another message asking about that one XD


message 900: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments It’s coloured
