[Dr. Andy]

I'd say do one that's closer to being done which is the GAME card

[Maddie]

I think Kelly mentioned that her Olympian Challenger would be finished real soon though.

[Dr. Andy]

Will it?

[Dr. Andy]

I don't remember when she said it would be done

[Maddie]

I think she mentioned it last page XD I'll go check.

[Maddie]

That was 2 days ago though.

[Maddie]

Maybe take that spot.

[Dr. Andy]

Otherwise she could take a wild card spot because I'll be finishing mine for wildcard tonight. so that would be 3/4 done for that category?

[Maddie]

Whatever XD We aren't coming first anyway. Lane and Lakhesis are doing too well.

[Dr. Andy]

There's still a week don't count us out yet. I beat Lane last month, I can do it again

[Kelly]

Yeah sorry for being late. I just haven't been able to read much lately. Take whatever spot I don't mind.

[Maddie]

Alright XD

And no worries Kelly, we're just trying to suss spots.

[Maddie]

Right off to work now. I'll be back in 6ish hours and will plan on getting more read tonight. Focusing FE now.

[Shae]

I will finish raven boys today and then get into if not finish the last Olympian, so that will be Richard card done :) I am moving stuff so audio is on. Listening to raven boys on scribd which sucks as it only goes to 2x speed!!

We're still waiting for an ART book to be done so that my last Olympian can be moved to Yellow 8, so that card is really close to being done.

[Shae]

I can try and read tonight as it’s the 4th novella and it would count for ART

[Dr. Andy]

That would work :) Whatever you can get done

[Maddie]

yay guys!

I'll try read quite a bit more tonight but depends on Kane and I haha

[Edit~A]

Sorry was out for my job, let me check the board and see, I'm not confident about the Richard one :D but I don't mind the others

[Edit~A]

I can read some des, i have some short stories here, but i will go for a game if that's ok, i just received an ARC so... :) it can be used for the female one as well.

Kelly do you have a BR for it? If yes then, I'll join :)

[Maddie]

Oh awesome Edit you got Olympian Challenger too! I've got it but not reading it just yet.

Good news is I got to go home 2.5hr early because we had too many people on and it was too quiet, so I'm home :D I can get started on my uni work and do my study, leaving me with a few hours tonight which I'll either read or spend time with Kane.

[Maddie]

btw, about you and your bf, I saw your comments, but didn't say anything. Don't know what happened between you guys that you felt like you had to break up, it actually happened to me and to my ex too, when i moved to the US. after christmas and before NY we broke up, but we are not talking tho, per his request, because he said he can't move on. Our reason for the break up was that, it was smth i wanted to do, he didn;t want to but he understood why i wanted. I moved to another country, another timezone, 12h difference, and long distance sucks, not because you miss each other, that's the easiest part, but because i came here to study, to make a new life, and i felt like while i loved him, i was stuck in between. Because of the time difference i didn't go out so i could talk to him, i could not do things because of that. Then i was busy with classes, and when i would not text, he would get angry or sad and would say that i won't pay him enough attention, but didn't understand that during the exams i turned off my phone so i can focus because we talked for hours and if we started to talk it would never end. Anyways, stuff like that, he would have fun with his friends but during his night time which was my day time, he would stay awake talking to me, and that was sweet but i had to skip many activities, and he would get sad cause he would say i am sacrificing my sleep but you are ditching me to have fun... anyways so we broke up, and cause his feelings were stronger he said we can't talk cause he can't move on if we do that. But i had to break up, because i was stuck in between, not enjoying my life, and building it, cause that was the reason i came here but the relationship was holding me back

What I am trying to say, is that I'm glad that you made up, but despite the feelings, because sometimes love is not enough, if you feel like it's (relationship) not right, better to end it, so it won't lead you to hate each other in the future, cause i saw cases that it happened, better end it with respect on a good note.

BUT that said, I hope that it'll work out with you guys, because i can feel how much you love him :)

[Maddie]

@Edit: Yeah thanks :) We've agreed that if it doesn't work, and if it falls back into new ways, then we're calling it off. Only if this changed for us, if we can make it work, will we keep together. We both didn't want it to end, so we're trying it again.

Thanks for sharing your story, hope you didn't mind.

No, I am pretty open lol so i don't. I thought you would mind, that's why i didn't say anything before, I thought you'll think i'm being nosy or smth :D or trying to intrude :)

Actaully we dated form February to April, then we broke up, because he was an ass :D Then he kind of like fought for me for 4-5 months and really changed everyone was surprised that he did change, and we started to date again when i moved here, couple of weeks before i did. I didn't want to do LD, but he said let's try so i won't think about "what if". I don't regret that we did, but at the same time, i feel like i dragged him for toooo long, and i feel like it's my fault, and I should have said no back then. but he was happy that we tried, at least that's what he said to me, but i just feel like it's my fault, idk... anyways that's my story :D but yeah, that was our second shot

[Maddie]

Oh yeah haha. We know what the stakes are, and we're both willing to try to make it work, both going to try and be more self-conscious and change a few little things. Just little steps at a time.

[Edit~A]

All the best! I really hope you guys work it out :)

[Maddie]

Yeah we do too XD Thanks for your support!

I'm just pleased that we both acknowledged the issues and agree what's going on isn't going to last the way it was before.

[Dr. Andy]

I thought you lived in another country at one point Edita!! I'm glad I'm not mis-remembering hahaha

[Dr. Andy]

ALSO I AM DONE WITH MY PRESENTATION :DDDDDDD

[Dr. Andy]

On a relationship note, I've done long distance twice and both times it had ups and downs. Communication was always an issue and so were mental health things. I seem to end up in a lot of emotionally abusive relationships :/ Which is why I haven't really started dating again, plus I live in a college town as a grad student and it makes it harder because I feel like a lot of undergrads aren't as mature??

Yes it’s great! And it’s good you were strong enough to stick up for what you wanted and now hopefully it will turn out that way. So much better than not saying anything and things not changing. I’m proud of you!!


@edit-a haha don’t mind your sharing, I’ve done the same with Maddie over FB. It’s alwuas good to share with each other life experiences as sometimes it’s a little insight or even knowing someone else has gone through it and come out the other end. Where did you move from?


Now book talk, just finished raven boys. Will start last Olympian now :)

Yeah I couldn't do LD. I mean, if Kane and I moved apart right now, we'd obviously try it, but I need that physicalness to a relationship, and I'd get real insecure.

Yeah I'm glad I decided to write that letter XD

Also can't believe it's a week tomorrow that I come see you!!!!

Andrea wrote: "ALSO I AM DONE WITH MY PRESENTATION :DDDDDDD"



Woooo yay for you!!

In reply to your relationship thing, I too have had a long distance relationship and it ended terribly. But I don’t think that was the only factor as we ended up living back in the same area, he was just an immature cheater. But I am so glad I’ve had all the heartbreaks etc as it led me to my husband and I couldn’t be more stoked with us and our little family/ life. I think everything leads you to where your meant to go.

I can’t believe either!!! Sooo exciting :D

[Maddie]

It'll be weird as XD But so cool!

[Maddie]

Alright time to go grab some dinner, going to read my book while they make my Chinese noodles :D I'm still doing uni work ugh. Who knows if I'll get reading done tonight after all, it's taking longer than I expected. I know I shouldn't stress, but we need the points XD I know I can finish them next month and we'll still get page points for this month, but still.

SAMEEEE!! OMG SAME!!! The Grad School part, the college town part, the emotional part, I felt like I was being abused to emotionally, tbh, I understood where he came from, but that didn't mean that that was right! OMG Same here, sometimes I feel like I'm not made for relationships lol We fought a lot because of this. He'd even sometimes be sad that I'd talk to my friends instead of him and i was like woaaah friendship is more important for me. but the thing is I talked to my friend once in a week, and to him every single day for HOURS.

that's an issue too, like he would be in mood to you know sext or smth, and I didn't like it like srsly, I was pushing myself to do it for him, and then sometimes I'd be super tired and he's be like, I WANT IT, that was an issue too. we had fights about this too...

Exactly, you get the experience, you become wiser and stronger, and if it meant to be it will, if no just learn from it and move on

[Shae]

Well it’s good it ended for you by the sounds of it edit-a! Now you can live your life and experience everything whilst in the new country!


Andrea, I just saw those goddess books on Libby (from your overdrive) and oh my gosh! They look awesome! Which is the first one??

[Dr. Andy]

The first one is Goddess of the Sea!

[Shae]

Andrea wrote: "The first one is Goddess of the Sea!"

Are you buddying then? Once I do last Olympian I am free on audio so might jump in with that series

[Dr. Andy]

Also the thing with emotionally abusive relationships that really fucks with me is that I'm always wondering if I could've done more somehow. With my last ex he was super depressed and after a point I couldn't deal with it because it felt like I was giving him constant validation and he refused to get help.

[Dr. Andy]

Yes I have a BR Thread set up! My friend who already read them was going to pop in and discuss them with me as well as reread them because she loved them!! They're kind of more stand alones than a true series but I'm going to read them in series order

Can you message me the link, I’ll join! Actually I’ll do shiny pretty things after last Olympian and then join :P I’ve got another full day on Friday of audio so that will get things moving!
