Doing great! Just writing my review for Blood Promise then working on Illuminae

[Ashley W]

I read that one earlier this week. I just started Gemina.

[✨Skye✨]

Still working on Hero of Ages. I do have Illuminae on my Kindle and been considering doing the BR, what did you guys think of it?
I'm going to read a lot in the afternoon tomorrow but it's the world cup semi-final tomorrow evening, so I'll be going out to cheer on my country. England is in total meltdown over football at the moment!

[Ashley W]

I liked Illuminae. It was completely different than anything I ever read. A lot of that could just be the format. But it was really good.
I don't follow soccer. Who's playing?

[✨Skye✨]

I might give it a go then! England vs Croatia tomorrow night. France won against Belgium tonight, so whoever wins tomorrow faces them. I don't follow it usually, but it's so rare for our national team to get this far that everyone's caught up with the buzz.

[Ashley W]

Soccer isn't that big here so I rarely know what's going on with it. Seems more popular in just about every other country though. If I were going to root for team, though, it would be England. My mom's half English, So that's her team as well

Hi guys. Just checking back in (it's been a while, I know). I've managed to hit a reading slump since coming back from holiday but hopefully I can pull myself out of it.

Currently reading Bright We Burn and loving it, should be finished today or tomorrow. Then I'm gonna work on some shorter books (these chunky ones aren't doing me any good haha). But you guys are killing it so far, great work!

(Also obligatory 'its coming home' - come on England!)

[Linaria]

Classwork is killing me but I'm still reading. I'll likely post reviews in chunks, when I've amassed 4 or 5 of them. Currently have 3 reviews I need to post when I get a chance.

Sorry I'm not really buddy reading this month, but I finally have a challenge that I can use to catch up on my TBR.

[Nicole]

Checking in, too. I've got my first two buddy reads tomorrow-- I don't know how that happened that they're on the same day, but I'll be able to finish them quickly, hopefully. I also will have two more reviews to post today.

[Ashley W]

Just posted a review for A Madness So Discreet. Today I'm hoping to tackle Red Queen and Hidden Oracle (or at least get it started). Also reading some from Lord of the Rings and Gemina. Probably some from Inkheart too.

[Jennifer]

Yay! I will have my computer back on Friday and will be able to write up all my reviews!!

That's great. I had a computer glitch a couple days ago. It sucked. Glad your's is back soon. I hate being without mine.

[Linaria]

I got a copy of Muse of Nightmares so my TBR completely changed. I'll post some stuff tomorrow.

[Ashley W]

I should have two reviews for tomorrow. In the middle of a couple others and starting two buddy reads.

Jealous! *grabby hands*

[Ashleigh]

Hi guys!

Is anyone looking to do any BRs anytime soon? I've got one lined up for on the 16th July, but I would like to read the next few books as soon as possible, and if anyone's up for a BR for any of them, that would be great.

[✨Skye✨]

Oh no, we're in second now! I have a BR to post tonight, so hopefully we'll pull ahead again. Anyone else have reviews awaiting posting?

[Ashley W]

I have three reviews that will come to 12 points. I'm doing two buddy reads today and should finish tomorrow.

[Linaria]

I have like 30 points of reviews waiting >.<

[Nicole]

Yup, I've got about 4 reviews to do soon.

I just finished Illuminae so Ill be posting a review tonight and it was a BR.

[Jennifer]

I'm almost caught up on all my reviews from my vacation, so that should help.

[Ashley W]

Just posted Fellowship of the Ring. Planning to finish Sword of Summer tonight, and start Never Fade, Strange the Dreamer, and Duma Key for buddy reads.

[Ashley W]

Astrid here's a copy of Sword of Summer with 600+ pages for 4 more points https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

[Nicole]

@Ashley thank you!! I already had the points added but I'll see if I can get more points from that edition.

[Ashley W]

You should be able too. People can leave another comment if they do a buddy read later so I think they'll add more point for you.

[Nicole]

I have 8 reviews to write if I counted correctly. I just finished today!

[Ashley W]

Awesome, Astrid! And Jennifer too!

Just posted a review for spirit bound and found a 600 page edition for it :D

[Linaria]

OK I posted 6/13 reviews I owe you all. I'll type up the other 7 tomorrow...though I bet by then I'll own you an eighth.
