Naw, do you have the physical? That's crazy you got it XD I want it!

Posting my Marvelous review now, and then am going to eat breakfast and do some audio.

I know XD I'm dying though :p Next month I'm trying not to plan too many buddies, but I now 2 of my teammates are reliable to jump in with me at the minute's notice (thanks Shae!) I don't want the pressure of BRs, even though this month has been really good with no one else actually reading the planned ones either :p

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Cinthia- so i've been following your updates lol I'm creeping. Anyway I finished The Realms of the Gods so if you post all 3 of your books (Crewel, Wild Magic, & Wolf Speaker) in that Wildcard tonight it will be done :D


message 1259: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'm starting Shiny Broken Pieces for now and I'll read some of Shadowsong later :)

Wild Magic (Immortals, #1) by Tamora Pierce

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
XD If Shae reads it then I'll need to read it too :p

Right I got home, I found a book fair on the way back so I just had to pop in. Bought like 8 books (one was a bind-up of 3 books, so technically bought 10 books) for $31.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
So I'll now jump into Dawn. Been real slack, we gotta catch back up! We have to be on top for all of the official updates guys!


message 1266: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'm about 1/5 into Shadowsong, might read some more tonight. Will probably finish Shiny Broken Pieces tomorrow :)


message 1267: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments We should get a new card tomorrow and I think when I finish Shiny broken Pieces I'll put it in the Green 4 category so we can get the 10 bonus points. Then when Shae gets to Amour Amour, we can move my book back to whatever.

Also, the next card closest to being finished is Green 5 which just needs Shae's Marvelous Adventures.


message 1268: by [deleted user] (new)

ok... I am not continuing that series not only am I a little confused but I couldn't really focus, I thought it wasn't really for me.

I'm sorry Andrea but I missed how I'm supposed to post for the wild card and those 3 books... all my updates are done... I need to go take a nap before going to work tonight...


message 1270: by [deleted user] (new)

I think I'm gonna read Infini (Aerial Ethereal, #2) by Krista Ritchie next... its the sequel to Amour Amour... it's also a BR but I work tonight and do doubles the whole weekend so I won't really have much done until Monday or Tuesday...


message 1271: by [deleted user] (new)

never mind Andrea... found it on the reviews page. :)


message 1272: by [deleted user] (new)

phew... thought my computer was going to die on me before I could finish my posts...


message 1273: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments I’m 40% into marvellous. Keen to finish it tonight, haha but not sure if I will! I will try very hard. Also will be finished with rishi today and get into amour amour 👍🏼

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I'll be up to motivate you Shae! I've gotta get started on Knife!

I'm 48% into Dawn, will be finishing that today.


message 1275: by [deleted user] (new)

I changed my mind. I’m going to read Hidden wings first. It’s also a BR but it’s not as long as the other book.


message 1276: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6965 comments I wish marvellous was audio as I have more time for audio today, but alas I will try super hard to stay up with Maddie after my family dinner tonight and sprint it out!

I will! Did you do it via audio? I think I need to do it physical or ebook. I struggle with fantasy on audio

Good!! That’s what I like to hear! Hopefully we both finish our books and you can start knife. I think me just finishing marvellous is an accomplishment for tonight haha

Just try to finish Marvelous that's what we need right now!

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Maddie- have you heard anything from Velina about continuing with the challenge or Sarah about replacing her?

Probably, sounds like you're busy XD And I realised I won't be starting Knife today, as I haven't read acowar today yet. So tonight I'll be starting with that, and potentially moving to Knife. From here on out I'm trying to finish a physical book a day. On Sunday that'll realistically be a shorty, like maybe the next Warriors book, as I'm at work until 7pm, so I'll need a shorty for that day.

I messaged Sarah and she said that there's no one up for replacing, and that the last spot took 5 days to fill, so better off not replacing. But it seems like she's too busy to read, so we'll just take her points and keep them. No clue.

Shae, I also think you should continue on with AB as you can fill in spots real easy with the novellas.

Andrea, I'll be starting Bone Witch on audio either tomorrow or the next day.

I won't put it in the ss yet though.

We are slowly getting through the Draw 4 which is nice.


message 1287: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Okay! Did you set up the thread for that? I can probably start Saturday. I don't think I have any other audios planned after Shiny Broken pieces.


message 1288: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Nope I haven't set up the thread yet, I'll set it up tomorrow. I just really need to get Dawn done haha. And then later tonight when Shae's on to sprint I'll read my daily Acowar intake.


message 1289: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Sarah messaged saying that Edit~A is wanting to move to serious, so she can take Velina's place :)


message 1290: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
And we got another Wildcard :D Wow! We now just really need to read them XD If we had a specific task I could whizz through two audios tomorrow on my drive.

Does anyone want to give up a slot or two that they're still quite a way off finishing? I can then get them filled with audios.


message 1291: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Messed with the ss again, the Draw 4 keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the priority pile :p


message 1292: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Apparently she has 12 review to post that she hasn't posted yet, so with all of our Wildcards we'll be set to go :D

Are you guys alright with her taking the Wildcard spots? I also think it means that Velina's books will need to be replaced, so that will obviously be first point of call, as we'll still need to have 4 books in that spot to call the card completed.


message 1293: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Finished up Dawn :D Updating now. Will also get more Acowar in when Shae gets on to sprint tonight, and tomorrow after my drive am planning on reading a lot of Knife. I'll also get at least one audio done depending on whether anyone wants to give up any spots that they won't finish for a while, so I can get some shorter audios in to get us closer to new cards.

Hi Team Bilbao, Edita has asked to move to a serious team, so if Velina does want to drop out then Edita will hopefully be able to replace her.
I have sent Velina a message to ask her to confirm that she wants to drop out, and I've also sent Edita a message to let her know that she can take Velina's spot if Velina does drop out.

Anyway, with regards to points and cards, I think that the best thing to do is to remove Velina's points, and as she has read 5 books, remove 12 bonus points. I will leave Velina's books in position though, as reopening maybe 5 cards would be a pain in the bum for all of us. You'll be able to move Velina's books to different cards as you need to, but you won't have benefitted from them because I'll have removed 12 bonus points.

So, does that make sense to everybody?


message 1295: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
are those 12 points all velina has? thank you for letting us keep the cards, and just moving the points ☺

Yup XD told you I haven't read anything this month, all the books I've read have been for 2-3 points max and the AB novellas are for 1 point

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
wow I thought it had been more than that xD


message 1298: by Velina (new)

Velina Pencheva | 842 comments Hah no, anyway I've messaged Sarah and soon someone else will be joining you and actually contributing :) Sorry about all that.


message 1299: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90985 comments Mod
I think Velina has 24 points? the 12 points is off of the bonus points to account for the 5 books that will still be on your team, so it will be around 36 points total? If Edita has read 12 books though, that's 3 cards, which would be 30 points, plus the actual page points, so that should be quite a bit more ☺


message 1300: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Yeah haha I assume Edita's read more than 3 books if she wants to jump to serious XD I really wished she'd been on by now so we could start moving her books around and asking for new cards XD Does that mean we just bank all of her books then Sarah? So all of the books she's counted in her other team we can use too? Or do we just get the points without the use of the books?
