Oh gotcha! I personally don’t read a lot of fantasy, but I do love mysteries and thrillers! Haha

[Lesa]

Love fantasy but sometimes they start to sound so alike after reading so many back to back or some has so much religion it's hard to understand it at time. But gotta love some thriller I think I'll start Bring Me Back B.A. Parris latest thriller and The Marsh King's Daughter a new thriller.....

[Jacquelyn]

Oh I totally understand! I feel that way with Dystopian lol.
I’ve been tempted to read Bring Me Back, if you do let me know how it is. I just finished The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager

[Lesa]

Will do. I have The Last Time I Lied on library hold soon I hope to get that one but probably next week. OMG I'm tired of dystopian books I try my best to stay away from them when I see it's tagged as dystopian on here. I run lol. But I'll probably start Bring me back later today....it's not long book at all so that means the author/she must gets to the points right away lol.

[Jacquelyn]

Ok cool!
How do you read so fast? Any tips you’d like to share? 😅

[Jacquelyn]

Yeah, I’ll pick up a dystopian and think “maybe this one is different.” Nope. Rarely ever is. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Lesa]

Hmm lol tips....I'm told I'm a speed reader never thought of it that way. But not sure how it happened lol. I found my way of using my finger to point at the words from left to right at each word but the more I read I started to notice my finger moving faster and faster and my head eyes barely moving from left to right. I found myself noticing my finger started to go down the page quickly instead of across because I start to realize I was completing faster than my finger and then I stop using my finger all together. I noticed I can read about 100 pages in less than an hour but it depends on the genre sometimes. I've read 500 to 600 page books in less than 4 hours before but depending on the genre.
I've also read on here on Goodreads about people saying they watched some YouTube videos to help them read faster but I already do lol so I never checked it out but they mentioned the follow words with finger was how to start....so hey I already knew that lol.

[Jacquelyn]

Oh dang. Maybe I should watch some of those videos 😂

[Jacquelyn]

We aren’t behind by much, we can do this!

[Amanda]

I posted a bunch of reviews yesterday. Should finish a few more before the end of the month.

[Jacquelyn]

Yeah, you all have been doing great! Thanks!

[Lesa]

Jacquelyn I finished Bring me back. It was just okay I gave it 3 🌟. The ending was a bit weird and unpredictable which why I gave a 3 🌟 other words it would had been 2.5. The story told at the beginning from past to now then part 2 told in the present switching from Finn and Layla. Just okay thriller.
Enjoy if you decide to read.

[Jacquelyn]

I probably won’t read it, I have other thrillers I’m excited about. Thanks Lesa!

[Jacquelyn]

I’ll be done with my book this morning

[Jacquelyn]

I just finished a book, I’ll post it after I get some sleep. I’m hoping to get another book done today as well. 🤞🏻

[Jacquelyn]

Should we post reviews today, or wait until tomorrow?

[Lesa]

I post as I finish a book but when I was working doubles I couldn't at the time. I say post when you can but don't wait to late.

[Jacquelyn]

Ok I’ll post one I finished this morning.

[Jacquelyn]

Also, I think that Amigos have at least nine books to post...

[Lesa]

I'll try to post 2. I'm 300 and something pages in a 500 something page book. Plus I want to start another book probably tonight.

[Jacquelyn]

Ok awesome! I’m working on a shorter book, about 240 pages (this edition at least) so I’ll finish that by tonight and then start another one after.

[Amanda]

I'm going to post one more review and try and finish another book in time

[Amanda]

I'm going to post one more review and try and finish another book in time

[Jacquelyn]

I’m trying to finish up my two books. 11 hours left...

[Lesa]

I'll be adding a book to review soon. Crossing fingers to add my second one but not going to promise it.

[Jacquelyn]

Ok. Amigos have racked up a lot of points. Unless we get a miracle, I doubt we’ll win.

[❤ Aly ❤]

I did add my reviews. I am trying to listen/finish another book tonight.

I apologize for not communicating more. I was just focused on our wedding for part of the month. I was reading, just not as vocal as I normally am.

I saw that several of them are posting many at once.

I have no room to talk though..

[Jacquelyn]

I understand, I just had my wedding in early June. It’s always a crazy time.

[Jacquelyn]

I’m really tired, but I should be done with my book soon.

[Jacquelyn]

I just posted my review and I’m going to bed now. 😊
