Oh true! XD I forgot about that one.

She's said that Scarborough Fair doesn't work, but the other 2 do. 'We've been going by if it comes down to the girl's armpits, then its long'. Yay! All of the ToG novellas work now XD I'll add in my books, and Shae we good to go for Marvelous Adventures?

[Maddie]

Posted completion for novella 3 and asked for a new card. Now starting novella 4.

[Kelly]

I'll pass on taking any of those spots, leave them for you guys XD

[Kelly]

I thought you would take some spots since your third novella The Assassin and the desert could fit ? Or have you found other places to put those?

[Kelly]

I just started listening to about 30 minutes ago so I took a spot :).

[Maddie]

Yeah I've found places for all of my novellas :) The 3rd one is the one that got us that card.

Awesome! Have you got a BR for it? Because I know Shae, myself and someone else are interested in reading it. So maybe if Shae wants to read it we could take some spots too.

[Kelly]

Oh right, sorry. I wasn’t paying attention. No I don’t have a BR for it but it would be great!

[Kelly]

Should I ask for the thread to be reset then?

[Maddie]

That's fine XD

Yes! Yay getting another one off my TBR!

[[deleted user]]

Finally out of work!!! I will be done with deep blue soon I’m 80% in.

[Maddie]

Awesome! Does that work for a card?

[Kelly]

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

[[deleted user]]

Idk. I haven’t checked anything.

[Maddie]

Thanks Kelly!

Alrighty :)

[[deleted user]]

I gotta check for that and Guardians of Stone. I’ll be done with both today. Maybe like long hair.

[Maddie]

Yeah there's a spot free for that :) Otherwise you can take my spot for Great and Terrible Beauty, if both books count, because I won't be finishing that today. Might not even start it. We'll see how this readathon goes.

[[deleted user]]

K. I’ll check when I get home.

[Maddie]

Sounds good :D

[[deleted user]]

Great job guys. Those novellas really pushed us up. 🙌

[Maddie]

Yeah haha, and Shae and Velina haven't even updated for theirs yet :p

[Maddie]

Hopefully you guys don't mind :/

[[deleted user]]

Mind? No way. At least not me.

[Kelly]

I don’t mind either.

[[deleted user]]

I’m so excited right now. My library has !!! Wooopwooop!!! That’s my next audio!!!

[Maddie]

I haven't even heard of that Cinthia XD But I have read one of her other series and loved it. I need to give it a re-read.

Finished up the 4th novella, updating and then will read the final one.

[Dr. Andy]

I feel like I missed all the action while I was sleeping/volunteering XD

[Dr. Andy]

Also we got a skip! Yay free points

[Maddie]

XD Na not that much. I just finished a bunch of novellas. I keep expecting Velina to finally post her updates and her completion, but she keeps disappearing, which is really frustrating. With her completion, we'll have another new card.

[Maddie]

Did we? I didn't even notice.

[Maddie]

I know that we used a pass/skip on Yellow Seven, the bike one XD

No a skip card is different. We get points for getting a skip, but passing on a category means we don't do it, and no points

Have you messaged her or something? I know the craziness of this challenge wasn't for her

[Dr. Andy]

If I hadn't reread all of throne of glass last december I could've read that novella after my test today oh well

Oh then how did we get the Skip on Yellow Seven? I don't see a Skip anywhere else on the review thread, and that's the one we passed on.

Yeah we talk on Facebook. She's just going to bank all of her books and we'll fit them in. She just has to post her completion.

No worries XD Too many little novellas flying around anyway as it is :p They'll easily fill up the empty spots, just not sure how long it'll take to get them finished and posted, so I'm not putting them in the ss yet. I'm also not sure whether Shae's reading AB or Manhattan next.

[Dr. Andy]

She started Sleeping in Manhattan earlier cause she posted about chapter 1 on our BR thread

[Dr. Andy]

I hope Velina doesn't feel too pressured or left out. If she wants to read whatever, she can and we'll fit it in somewhere!

[Dr. Andy]

Nevermind about the Skip I'm just seeing things lol

[Dr. Andy]

We're doing great guys! :D

[Maddie]

Ah alrighty that's good :) I think she should read that next too.

She's feeling super pressured, hence why she's just banking all of her books and not chatting/paying attention to new cards. She's going solo next month I think, as she's feeling done with teams XD Personally, this is the exact perfect challenge for me, constantly motivating me.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about XD

[Maddie]

Finished up that last novella :D Going to post my completion and then sleep for an hour and a half before I wake up and keep going. I won't last otherwise.

[Maddie]

I found a 300 page edition for the last novella! That's mental! So 6 points for that last one. Made my day haha.

I was at school and then i was at my private lessons, Maddie knows that but for some reason can't grasp that i can't be in GR 24/7 or whenever she wants me to be, I do have a life. I started my dinner but just left my food to get cold so i could do the updates and reviews before she kills me :)

[Dr. Andy]

I wish I could be on GR 24/7 XD

And no worries just read what you want and we'll find spaces for it!

[Velina]

Andrea wrote: "I hope Velina doesn't feel too pressured or left out. If she wants to read whatever, she can and we'll fit it in somewhere!"

Nah, I'm fine, I usually like the pressure but not sure why this month I don't feel like having a strict reading schedule and want to remember again what it was like to just enjoy books and read not for a purpose.

Also I'm graduating high school in a month soooo there is a bit of pressure with finding prom stuff and finishing up school work.

[Maddie]

No I just need to keep reminding you because I don't know your schedule, and I feel like you don't think it's a big deal, while the rest of the team is always looking forward to the new cards. Doesn't matter now, I'm sleeping.

Yeah I'm sussing out the novella spaces XD The new cards work for all of the novellas, so depending when those get finished will be great :D

Mads, we have no idea when Sarah will be online so if i post now or in an hour if she shows up 10 hours later it wont matter when i posted :D

Everyone needs a break once in a while! Hope you have fun at prom, I miss that kind of stuff now lol
