I'm loving it :D I need to finish it, but it's the same as acomaf XD It's so intimidating that I don't really want to read it, it's too big. But I will get to..."

Yup! Lesson learned xD I'm kind of sad though since I couldn't find a place for 3 of the books that I requested for BR. But I'll just keep my eye out as we progress the challenge.

I know! Big books really intimidate me as well. It doesn't matter even if I know I'll like them. It just so hard to pick them up xD

[Maddie]

Yeah we can always bank books :)

So what book are you starting with? XD I still don't know what to make my second book of the month be.

Yeah I know, especially books with small font!

I totally forgot that I had the audiobook for These Broken Girls so I may start with that one. I'll be listening at 1.8x so hopefully I can get it finished within the day. Then I'll immediately jump to ACOFAS if I get my hands on it. If I don't I'll just read Crown of Midnight xD What about you?

That's the reason why I'm so intimidated with A Discovery of Witches! I know I'll love it but it's so big and the font is so small

[Maddie]

Exactly my problem with big fantasy books :p But I'm slowly getting over that. 55% into my first Sanderson book.

[Maddie]

And I'm going to read my order based off you guys, apart from reading Clockwork Prince on the 8th, and Spell Speakers on the 8th too.

Starting off with Nevernight, I'll also finish off Acowar. And then I'll read Beyond the Deepwoods and Red Queen, as they're the books I have in your line :)

You have the link to the BR thread, right? Because Shae and I are reading Throne of Glass next month, and might get to Crown of Midnight, but who knows.

[✦ Maica ✦]

Wow. I've wanted to read a Brander Sanderson novel for a while now but again it was too big of a commitment xD I hope you're enjoying it!

Great! I can't wait for this challenge to begin! I just need to finish one more book for the April challenge and then I'll take the rest of the day off from reading so when May 1st comes, I'll be reenergized xD

Yup! I have the link ^^

[Maddie]

Yeah I've been meaning to read them for soooo long, and I'm so glad that I am! I'm loving it so far!

Yeah I'm pleased that Dewey's readathon is today, so that tomorrow I can focus on the brunt of my study around classes and work. Tuesday (the 1st) I will majority also be focusing on study for my 2 tests on Wednesday, and homework before work from 4-9, but on Wednesday around class and packing I'll be reading Nevernight.

I'm actually going to go meet Shae in Aussie on Thursday for the first time :D I live in New Zealand, so it's not too far, but it's crazy we're meeting XD

[Vivi]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to say I'm okay with passing on the "levee" word.

Can't wait for May to begin :)

[✦ Maica ✦]

Maddie - Seeing you enjoy it gives me the strength to maybe pick one up xD

That sucks! Good luck with your tests. When does your school year end btw?

Oh that sounds like so much fun! I live in the PH which is why I gave up any hope in meeting my GR friends in real life. Y'all better document the meeting! I'll be living vicariously from you two xD

[✦ Maica ✦]

Vivi, same! What books are you planning on reading first?

[Vivi]

Maica wrote: "Vivi, same! What books are you planning on reading first?"

I think I'll start with The Boy and His Ribbon for "And", since there's a BR starting on May 2nd.

[Maddie]

Okay cool, I'll wait for the others to agree, but so far it's 'levee' we're passing on.

Well I'm at uni now, but school typically goes from Feb to December. With our summer break from December to Feb.

[Maddie]

I'm also reading Obsidio next month sometime.

Is there a thread for Acofas?

Here's the ACOFAS thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[✦ Maica ✦]

I'll be starting uni this year! I'm kind of excited and terrified at the same time xD Our school starts from August until May

[Maddie]

Haha yay for new chapter! It's way better than school no contest!

Right thanks for that thread :) I'm off to work now! Excited to start this challenge tomorrow!

[✦ Maica ✦]

Have fun at work, Maddie! :D

[Maddie]

uhhhh no work isn't fun haha. at least it isn't for long.

so the plan for tomorrow is to study my ass off as well as take another few Instas and read for hopefully ages before work 4-9 again. And after work I'll probably study too because of my tests Wednesday.
then after my tests Wednesday I'll be packing for my trip to Aussie and shae on Thursday. then when I've packed I'll read.
Thursday should be alright timing so I'll get lots done, hopefully finish off acowar on the plane and start acofas. I'll also have my first audio done on Thursday.

[Maddie]

so it doesn't look like I'll finish a book for ages unfortunately but it is only medium xD I do just need to stay up on top though. I dropped down to medium so we can win!

[✦ Maica ✦]

It's only a couple of minutes until midnight! I can't wait to start the challenge xD

[Eesh]

Shae, can I maybe take the word American? I'm going to read All-American Boys next month and it'll cover the whole word.

[Maddie]

Yeah just do it Quirks XD Move Shae's book to another card.

Can't wait to start reading for this challenge too! I'm not sure when that'll be, but hopefully today sometime! I might start GR time this month, as I'm studying all day today and then working, so I realistically won't start reading until tomorrow, meaning I can do GR time. Anyone know when that's supposed to start?

[Maddie]

I'll be starting today too, but it'll take me a while. I'll probably get it finished Thursday.

Goodreads runs on Pacific time. As soon as it hits 00:01, May 1st our Challenge starts :)

See the time here: https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zo...

[Maddie]

Thanks :) Yeah I'll probably start GR time, as I won't get reading done today before 7pm (my GR start time).

[Maddie]

Right I've read 1% of Acowar!

[Shae]

Yeh that’s fine quirks!

@ Julianna did you find out if shadowlands works for had?

[Maddie]

It would if it was in the chorus.

[Shae]

I don’t think line 3 is the chorus?

[Maddie]

No the chorus is the italics, so like Line 10. I think we have one chorus line to start with.

[✦ Maica ✦]

I finished and I'm starting

[✦ Maica ✦]

Nicole, I hope I don't mind but I moved your card from the m of the word my to the m of the word make :)

[Maddie]

As long as you find somewhere else for her book. Because otherwise she'll forget about it and get confused.

So if you take someone else's spot, make sure to move the book you're taking

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Yeah exactly as Maddison said. There’s a lot of places it can fit. I don’t really care. I just need to remember that I’m reading it this month lol.

[Maddie]

Don't worry Nicole I got your back :p

Alright time for me to disappear to my test (8-10) and my classes (10-1) and study (1-4) and then another test (4-6). And then home to pack and Kane and I are going to a comedy show.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hi Team Since I Don't Have You, this is just a quick reminder that you only have 11 hours left to let me know which word you are passing on. If I haven't heard from you by then you will lose your pass.

[[deleted user]]

Just a question. Hopefully you guy can help me out! I saw that I can't use shadowland for Had because it isn't in the chorus. Maybe you can help me find where to put The Giver?

Right now I'm looking at titles in other languages. Including "Le Paseur" "il Mondo di jonas" "Huter der erinneurg" and "Ed dador de recuerdos".

Right now I was thinking of using the il Mondo title so it fits in as "I". What do you guys think?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You can use shadowland for 'had' because the whole word is in there. You couldn't take say just the 'ha' and put it towards 'had', but because the whole word is in there it's fine ☺

[[deleted user]]

Oh thank you for clearing that up Sarah!!!

[Maddie]

Uh oh did we miss our Pass....

[[deleted user]]

We haven't yet but we should choose something soon! We only have 8 more hours

[✦ Maica ✦]

I vote to pass Leeve :)

[Maddie]

Yeah I messaged Sarah she said she can pass on Levee for us :)

And I'm also around 15% into Emerald Atlas. I'll get a bit more listened to tonight, and a lot tomorrow. I should finish it on Thursday :)

[Maddie]

How's everyone going? Read 2% of Acowar :p Finally finished all of my tests though! After I watch tv with Kane I'll read a bit more before we go to a comedy show. I'll also read a bit more tonight. And by a bit I mean realistically 1-2% each sitting XD Tomorrow while on the plane and waiting for the plane I should get 20% done, leaving me with the rest to finish off on the train. Soooo I should be able to finish Acowar tomorrow or the next day!

[Maddie]

And then I'll jump into Acofas :D I'll also get Emerald Atlas finished same time as Acowar. So there's realistically 10 points for the team, or maybe 12.

[✦ Maica ✦]

I have two hours left in Say You'll Remember Me! :) After that I may go back and forth from Second Chance Summer and Hostile Hospital

[Maddie]

Alright awesome! Oh yay Unfortunate Events :p

[Eesh]

Only got 10% of The Burning Maze done yesterday but I'm gonna try to make more progress today and finish it by tomorrow.

[Maddie]

Awesome! How many points will that get?

[Eesh]

10, I think.
