It sounds like you did everything you could to help! Sometimes people just need to help themselbes. You can’t let that affect your mental health in the process of helping someone else’s. You’ll find someone and you will look back and think “thank fuck I did what I did” haha as you will end up with someone awesome!

Yeah no I'm already happy that I left that relationship. It wasn't going where I wanted anymore. Also from a mutual friend it sounds like he's only gotten worse and still refuses to seek professional help so I'm glad I don't have to deal with that.

Kelly | 1350 comments Cinthia, I asked for https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... to be reset for today. Hopefully I’ll listen most of it today. I’m at Chapter 9 at the moment.

I have 50 pages left of acomaf, finishing that in the hour, then posting my review etc. Andrea, I should post it in the ART card but do I have to ask Sarah to change something? I’m not sure. Sorry about that.

I have 2 hours left of Olympian challenger so I’m finally going to finish all my current reads today ! (It’s 2pm here)


message 1655: by Kelly (new)

Awesome Kelly! I will try to start it tomorrow. I finally am on days off. I will try my best to finish my current 3 books today I am like at 50% on all 3 of them and my goal is to finish them all today The Immortal Circus Act One (Cirque des Immortels, #1) by A.R. Kahler , American Panda by Gloria Chao , The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles, #1) by Mary E. Pearson . I also have 2 finished books Infini (Aerial Ethereal, #2) by Krista Ritchie , Broken Wings (Hidden Wings, #2) by Cameo Renae . I will try to do all of them today, and post tonight.

To switch you just need to say "Can you move Andrea's The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5) by Rick Riordan from Blue 5 to Yellow 8 and this review will replace it" Then you just post your review and list the card as Blue 5

I'm so excited about it too!!


message 1659: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Cinthia- I put the two you finished in Wildcard which will finish that up. Then you can take the other three Yellow 4 spots if you do finish those books tonight.

I'm starting Daughter of the Burning City tonight, but I can find another spot for that one :) I think I'll focus on getting Goddess of the Sea done first

Yayyyyyyy that might be another category done then!!


message 1676: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Here's our new categories:
Wild Draw Four - Get four new categories/cards instead of one! (And, one of these categories/cards is guaranteed to be a Wild Card!)
---Wild Card - Read ANY book
---Red Nine - 'Red Nine' - Read books with the word 'Jack' in either the title or author's name. (for Wallace Jackson) (Words contaning the word 'Jack' can also be used, like Jackie, Jackson, jacked, jackpot, and jacket.)
---Blue 'Skip' - 'Skip' a category/card! Gain 10 bonus points just for landing on this card, and then receive another new category/card. (Your new card will be a 'blue' card.
----Blue One - 'Blue: One Love' - Read books written by author's named 'Antony', 'Costa', 'Duncan', 'James', 'Lee', 'Ryan', 'Simon', or 'Webbe'. (These names can also make up part of the author's name, for example 'Colleen Hoover' ) (These names can be either first name or last name.)
---Green Nine - 'Acid Green 9' - Read books with something green on the cover (eg: green dress - Emerald Green (The Ruby Red Trilogy, #3) by Kerstin Gier, green trees - Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater, green apple Tear You Apart (Beau Rivage, #2) by Sarah Cross green leaf The Shadow Queen (Ravenspire, #1) by C.J. Redwine), or read books by an author with the surname 'Green' (names containing the word 'Green' are also okay, such as 'Greene', 'Greenland', 'Greenwich')


message 1677: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments The books I want to read would only fit in the wild card so that sucks x).


message 1678: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 1350 comments I forgot A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas It could fit green 9, right ?

Yes


message 1681: by [deleted user] (new)

I don’t think everyone has posted their Red 7 so we don’t get another card just yet.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod

No your book is being moved and I haven't moved it yet


message 1687: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Guys we might finish 3 cards by the next time Sarah is on :D

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Oh what book's moved? XD I can do that if I know what to do.

Also Valencia's 1098 now and we're 1047 so we could get there! We just have to speed, as as we have almost 2 more cards finished we'll be able to do it!


message 1689: by [deleted user] (new)

What?!?! That would be awesome! Ok back to reading!!


message 1690: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
Yeah we can totally do this! Now all I want to do is read short books so I can get categories finished haha. But bigger points = more books, and I also just really want to finish what I'm reading XD

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53736 comments Mod
I finished off yesterday's homework, now I need to go and do the dishes (more audio done), take a shower, and then get into today's uni work and a bit of study. But then after that I'll definitely be reading! Kane and I are going on a date tonight, going out to dinner, but tonight I'll definitely get some reading done. Maybe we might be able to sprint some of us in a few hours?

I already did the math and as I said earlier if we finish those books I listed we will beat them at their current score

It's super close!! I should have my book done within 2 hours


message 1698: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'm really sad characters with the name Jack can't work for this:
Red Nine - 'Red Nine' - Read books with the word 'Jack' in either the title or author's name. (for Wallace Jackson) (Words contaning the word 'Jack' can also be used, like Jackie, Jackson, jacked, jackpot, and jacket.)


message 1699: by Kelly (new)

message 1700: by Dr. Andy (new)
