So for today/tomorrow my reading plans are:
Finish York
Start and finish Marvelous Adventures
Start 100 pages of Acowar
Start and finish Dawn
Start Knife of Never Letting Go

Sound good? Got another readathon tomorrow so I'm feeling confident about that and super keen to get into Acowar :D The hardest thing about Acofas for me is having to wait for the book box to arrive before I can read the book, because I want to read it on release day, but knowing that I have to wait for delivery times means that it'll probably come 3 weeks late and majority of the people will have read it already. I wanted to be one of the first, and I'll see it around all of the bookshops :/

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments That sounds like a great plan. Fill the spots you think you'll get to first. I have something like the flu or strep throat ☹️☹️ I've had a huge fever and been really weak all day. Mostly been sleeping but might try to read in bed for a bit

Oh that's no fun!! Hopefully not getting too far behind on classes! And at least it's not like food poisoning or something like that. Sleep is always best for the sick.

Also talking to Shae about scheduling Invasion as well, as we want to read Invasion of the Tearling this month XD Too many books no time.

Did you want to sprint Andrea? Or you sleeping? I've got 140 pages of York to go and I wanna finish that today.


message 1155: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I can't sprint at the moment. Too drowsy. And I'm trying to finish up my taxes real quick. Maybe in a bit tho? Im gonna try to stay awake until the evening then sleep a ton over night

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
No worries, I'll take a shower then :) You go sleep, you need it!


message 1157: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments Okay so I have like 30 pages left of ACOTAR so I’ll finish that then listen to They both die at the end (3 hours left). I’ll post my reviews etc tomorrow morning.

I’ll read Cinder tomorrow then Rebel of the sands, A discovery of witches and Olympian Challenger! I don’t know when I’ll finish them but I hope I’m going to read them quickly even if Cinder/Rebel are physical copies ! :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Awesome!

I have Olympian Challenger as a BR, but I won't get to it this month XD I know that for a fact.

Seville is at 591 points while we're now at 659. Somehow we got back ahead heaps :D This is just what we needed XD

Velina is thinking about dropping from the challenge, but only if we can get a replacement player. Because if we lose her and get no one else, we lose points, and we can't afford that. So I've messaged Sarah aboutthat.

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I might try to read a bit more of The Shadow Throne while in bed but my medication has been making me drowsy so we'll see


message 1162: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Oh my gosh I have no idea why I keep thinking it's Seville that's close to us! Something's wrong with my brain! XD We really gotta get back ahead :p Tomorrow will be good for the readathon. Shae's planning on starting Marvelous Adventures soon, which will give us another card in a few days.

Just sleep, there's no pressure Andrea :) Just get better.


message 1163: by Velina (new)

Velina Pencheva | 842 comments I think I'm going to drop out of the challenge 😿
Think the stress of graduation and my final school exams is too much, as well as the official finals next month, prom , graduation, more proms and on top of that I'm searching for a room because I'm moving abroad in a couple of months and am sooo stressed I might end up homeless (know it probably won't end up homeless for real but still)
I actually don't want to read! It's so weird!! I tried AB audio and Thunderhead but just listened/read some and then I didn't feel like it anymore.
I can probably force myself to listen to books if you can't find a replacement for me. I'm sorry 😕


message 1164: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Yeah we can't have a replacement so if you just stay on the team we will be fine. no need to force yourself to read.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I'll be finishing York tomorrow, no one's on right now.


message 1166: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Also swapping out Knife of Never Letting Go for Final Empire tomorrow. Maybe, depending how I feel with the small font at the end of the readathon.


message 1167: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments I just posted for ACOTAR, now going to finish my audio while doing chores xD. Good luck for you readathon Maddie.


message 1168: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Thanks! I'll need it haha. Starting off by finishing York first time, and then I'll update and swap over Andrea's book, and then jump straight into Marvelous Adventures. I hope people are on to sprint XD


message 1169: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'm like halfway through two books right now so hoping to finish one or both today :)


message 1170: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments It might take me more time than I expected to go through my books :(.


message 1171: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I should definitely be done with Emperor Mage today :)


message 1172: by [deleted user] (new)

And I should definitely be done with Ove


message 1173: by [deleted user] (new)

Finished A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman I just need to do my updates and reviews... gotta figure out what to read next...


message 1174: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Yay! This is a good sign haha. We're not really close to the end of any card apart from Marvelous Adventures right?

1min to readathon start XD Good time to get my emails finished. I was too cold so had to stay in bed. It's 7 degrees Celsius now so it's definitely getting colder.


message 1175: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I know I probably won't stay up for the whole 24hr, but I'll just see XD


message 1176: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Something from the ss?

And did you want to sprint Cinthia? I need motivation XD


message 1177: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I also picked up a whole bunch of my really old Netgalleys as physicals from my library so I've got all of those that I can read as well XD Sticking to the ones I need to finish off first though.


message 1178: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Just finished Emperor Mage. About to go take a nap then I'll probably finish The Shadow Throne and start The Realms of the Gods

I put your book in the ECO card, but you could put it in one of the wild cards too


message 1180: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Actually Cinthia if you could put Ove in 56 Wildcard, that card will be done then


message 1181: by [deleted user] (new)

oh ok... I got a little confused when I saw the ss... I am posting and didn't know which one to go with... thanks for clearing that up..


message 1182: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Yeah I just moved a bunch of shit XD


message 1183: by [deleted user] (new)

are you sure it's #56 it looks like that one is already marked off by Sarah


message 1184: by [deleted user] (new)

(10)**56. Wild Card - Read ANY book. (4/4)
(Tithe
Wolf-Speaker
Star Witch
The Assassin and the Healer)


message 1185: by [deleted user] (new)

I see there are 2 #56 Wildcards... sorry for my confusion... I posted already... now I think I might read Crewel (Crewel World, #1) by Gennifer Albin early, its scheduled for the 22 but Its due soon and I'm afraid I won't have time...


message 1186: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Yeah the first one is finished already


message 1187: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments It's all good!

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Yeah read that one!

Yay guys good work :D I'm 77% into York, so will finish that in around an hour and a half. Just sprinting.


message 1189: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'm going to take a nap, but then I'll probably start listening to a new book or finish The Shadow Throne, depends if I go anywhere

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod

We can do it, just need to keep that lead *fingers crossed*


message 1193: by [deleted user] (new)

OMG I just counted Valencia's and our points...
We will have 697 and Valencia will have 696!!! We are only 1 point on the lead... ok.... back to my book...


message 1194: by [deleted user] (new)

Ok. Maybe I didn’t do the count right. I like Maddie’s score better.


message 1195: by [deleted user] (new)

Ahhh I didn’t account for yours Andrea.


message 1196: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Just have to remember to add the points for new cards too XD

87% through now. Unfortunately will only get us 4 points :/

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Finished up York and moved the cards back around, thanks Andrea. Also, our new card is another Wildcard yay :D

I'm moving all of the books from the Draw 4 Wildcard to the new Wildcard as we want to get it done quicker XD


message 1198: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I'm also planning on 2 chapters a day of Invasion of the Tearling, and 100 pages a day for Acowar. I'm not putting them in the ss yet though as they're both really big books and it'll take me a week to finish them both, so I'll find spaces for them later on.


message 1199: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Right now to jump into Acowar :D Not sure how I feel about it, excited but also worried? XD


message 1200: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments Andrea, I have some questions for tiny pretty things, can I put a comment on the thread for you to check to see if you can answe them haha
