Awesome job Andrea.


message 1102: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments 1,5 hours ? How many pages is that ? :P I don’t know how you can listen at 3.0x speed! After 2,5x I don’t understand much lol.

It's 128 pages XD So it counts, I checked.

Just check the bottom post on the last page regarding the graphic novel XD

It took a bit of getting used to, but speed is needed for this challenge :p

That's strange? But graphic novels have to be 300 pages to count I think

Can I just say I read the paperback? XD

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
As it is technically the same story.


message 1108: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments I’ll be finished with panda, battle of the labrynth and assassin and the healer today.

Tomorrow Albee is at my parents and I have lots of cleaning to do, so lots of audio. Planning on doing tiny pretty things and rishi!

Andrea I took up the last sports spot as I saw amour amour was on
Overdrive on audio and it’s on my tbr. But I only did it as it was free, I will get to it another time if you take the spot :) i was only doing it as I thought no one liked the sports card so was just trying to help. I’m glad to hear you liked tiny pretty things! Can’t wait to read it tomorrow!


message 1109: by [deleted user] (new)

I know. I can only listen at 2x and sometimes depending on the narrator I can’t understand at that speed so I have to go down.

No worries, there will be other categories for it :)

I hope so XD I'm doing it anyway :p

I think I'm going to schedule Acowar, I'll plan for 100 pages a day. That lets me get it finished in a week and also allows me to digest in between XD So Thursday's TBR is The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray by B.A. Williamson 100 pages of A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas and The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1) by Brandon Sanderson I believe, otherwise another book if it doesn't fit the new card.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
As after those my ss spots are all completed, so I'll take a spot with the new card.


message 1115: by [deleted user] (new)

I can’t concentrate on this book. It’s not bad but I am falling asleep. I’m taking another nap. I haven’t fully recuperate from working all those hours. I’ll do my updates on Amour Amour and Windfall later. I just have to do the reviews. I’ll do the other half of gossip girl when I wake up.

Sounds good :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Awesome :D I've just gotta pack some stuff and then I'll be hopping in the car to drive to Auckland.


message 1118: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok. I finished gossip girl. My son came home from school and woke me up. But now that I yelled at him and finished this book (very short btw) am ready to take that nap. Will do updates later.


message 1119: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I just finished Tiny Pretty Things :)


message 1120: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Oh wow that's annoying being interrupted in a nap xD especially as it's short enough as it is.

I have 3 books to update for xD 3 tiny ones but still.

I'll also try finish York tonight, should be doable but I also want to sleep early as sleep in late because I won't have to wake up at 7 with Kane haha.


message 1121: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Ok so posted American panda and assassin and the healer. I’ve started rishi too.

I was going to finish labrynth but would you guys rather me focus on rishi as that will get us a new card? Plus the other books I’ve hot are part of the draw 4


message 1122: by [deleted user] (new)

ok guys finished posting my reviews for 2 books but I have nowhere to put the 3rd one... Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith

I was thinking I could ask Shea if I can put Simon vs. de verwachtingen van de rest van de wereld by Becky Albertalli for food on the cover and put Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith in the completed Wild so we could have the food on the cover card done and get a new card...


message 1123: by [deleted user] (new)

I also put Gossip Girl (Gossip Girl, #1) by Cecily von Ziegesar for food on the cover instead of the Panda book because I don't know when I will have that done and I don't want to be the one you guys are waiting on when I know its not going to be anytime soon.

Also I can Bank Windfall until we see what card we get...


message 1124: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Yes cinthia do that! I’ll bank when dimple met rishi until a card comes up :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yay! New cards!

And Shae, the new card's because we finished up the New York card. Andrea entered in her book which I'll swap out with York once I'm done.

I now need to update for all of the books I finished. Uuuugh I don't feel like it XD


message 1127: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Oh I get ya Maddie! I thought you were saying it from my posts haha :P

I can swap my acowar for dimple met rishi, there’s an edition that works for air. I’ll find a spot for acowar once I start it. Will update ss now.


message 1128: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Ok just changed ss with my acowar and rishi, but don’t want to do any other changes until your done cinthia haha


message 1129: by [deleted user] (new)

I updated the changes on the ss too... thank you Shae.


message 1130: by [deleted user] (new)

yeay we get 2 new cards!!!!


message 1131: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Woo hoo awesome cinthia! Good job!

I love how flexible we all are, as well as how we know we will find slots for books. I love how I’ve been able to pick up books based on mood etc this month as well as some that pop up on my tbr. And I don’t feel super pressured if I don’t read as quick and someone else fills the spot, as I know we (Andrea haha bless you!) will find a spot for the books


message 1132: by [deleted user] (new)

I already posted the Windfall book with the changes and asked Sarah to swap it... hopefully we get new cards soon... I gotta find a place for A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman I set that BR so I must read it... I think its for Wednesday but I don't have any other audios pending so I will start this today...


message 1133: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes I get what you mean Shae. At first I though I was going to HAVE to read instead of WANTING to read. I like picking any book I want and knowing we will find a spot for it. And tonight proved how flexible we really are.


message 1134: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments L'uomo che metteva in ordine il mondo by Fredrik Backman maybe you can use this edition for Maddie’s acowar “air in title”. As she hasn’t started, and then Maddie and I can find spots later for acowar?

Maddie what do you think?


message 1135: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Oh yeah I'm fine with that haha. I just feel like having books on the ss determines what I'll read XD I kind of don't like being totally loose with my plans up in the air. But when I see the new cards I'll be able to add books in there, so that works

It still means we are reading acowar!! Just means we will have cards sooner and can slot them in when we are closer to finish :P


message 1137: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah just need the motivation XD I'll try read 100pg of Acowar a day, like I mentioned before.


message 1138: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I love this team. Great work everyone!


message 1139: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah I love it too :D I'm finally almost finished up with my 3 audios today XD Seems like so much happened with my brain.

I’m sure a card will come up in a week then that we can use it for or do some rearranging.

Haha ok well maybe I need to get onto that one if your doing that schedule. I really want to read it this month as well as obsidio. I wish I was a reading octopus


message 1141: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Yeah for sure haha.

Haha like Alaina :p Yeah I'll be pushing you to get to Marvelous soon :p I won't be able to read any more York before I go out for dinner, and tonight after dinner could be tv time with the family, but tomorrow I'll finish for sure.

Also might start up my Netgalley audio when I drive home tomorrow, as there aren't any more free spaces for me to take with one.


message 1142: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments So guys I am sick again :( I'm trying to see if I can get an appt or something with the health center on campus, but I might end up staying home all day

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I put Shae's ACOWAR in the Green 3 card but she'll need to use this edition:

message 1146: by [deleted user] (new)

I started Ove. So far it’s good but I have to go back to work in a little bit so I don’t think I’ll get too far on it today. Hopefully I’ll finish it tomorrow since it’s my day off.


message 1147: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Sounds great! I've been sleeping all day pretty much. I need to get my taxes mailed out but then I'll probably either lay in bed and read or go back to sleep. I did start some of Emperor Mage.

What's up? Just a cold? Or is it your stomach?

New cards:
(20)**14. Green Three - 'green3apparel' - Read books which contain the letters 'E', 'C', and 'O' in the books title. (Title must contain all 3 letters, but they can be in any order.)(Hint: words which contain 'E', 'C', and 'O' are second, unbecoming, become, homecoming, recovery, reconstructing, reconnected, recoil, Chloe, exception, and close)
(21)**56. Wild Card - Read ANY book.

So now when we use a book for a wildcard, mention whether you want it in the draw 4 spot or the single spot. I feel like we should use the single spot so we get a new card faster. Shall I ask for all of the books completed in the current Wildcard be moved to the new one? XD


message 1150: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53738 comments Mod
Taken one of the Wildcard spots with Knife, I want to take another with Final Empire but I feel like I just need to get through my 2 currents at the moment. Do you guys want me to find another audio with ECO in title? Or you good with filling that spot? Because I'll start my Netgalley audio today otherwise.
