Niki's October 2018 Goals:

1. Doomwyte
2. Bite Club
3. Wrath of the Dragon King
4. Gardens of the Moon

Conservative goals this month. The problem is, I own a lot of first in series, so once I read those, then I'm working on my Incomplete Series Challenge using library books until I finish them, then I come back to my collection haha.

This challenge has turned into "try to fit a comically unrealistic number of buddy reads into the month" for me 😂
Buddy reads from this group:
Philosopher's Stone
Chamber of Secrets
Prisoner of Azkaban
Goblet of Fire
1984
Animal Farm
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

from other groups:
Violets are Blue by James Patterson
In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken
Through the Dark by Alexandra Bracken

and one series reread I'm finishing on my own:
Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke (if I can't finish this in time, which tbh will most likely be the case, it'll end up being one of my low-priority reads inbetween other books.)

If i manage to read all of them, that's 6 rereads and 5 books from my 2018 purchases.

[Bill]

I added two graphic novels from the Paper Girls series to my challenge here. Not adding them to my main overflow challenge but wanted to count them somewhere. I pick them up a few months back when my local comic book store closed.

You should keep adding Garden of the Moon every month until next year. You can join us on our Buddy read then 😂

Hahaha omg. You joke but that's probably what's going to happen. When do y'all start? 😂

[Virginie]

Sometimes in January, I think. I'll be all over organizing the read and figuring out the schedule soon-ish :p

[Bill]

Niki weren’t you the one who got the current Malazan read started?

Haha thanks! ^_^

[Zaara]

Ooooupp..forgot to post my goals jere....

1. Ladies of Missalonghi
2. The Rose and the Thorn
3. HP & the Philosopher's Stone
4. HP & the Chamber of Secrets CURRENTLY READING
5. HP & the Prisoner of Azkabam
6. HP & the Gobley of Fire
7. A Monster Calls (are we even doing this BR? What happened to the YA Book Club?)
8. Traitor's Blade CURRENTLY READING

Carried over from last month
8. Anna Karenina...300 pages left CURRENTLY READING
9. Words of Radiamce...almost 300 pages left CURRENTLY READING
10. Wuthering Heights 💪👊 bcuz I am superfast on re-reads.
11. The Duchess Deal

Lowest Priority (I missed the final BR)
12. DOS&B 3

Now I will read WoR till I finish it and will get on to HP&CoS & Traitor's Balde simultaneously.
Also pls note I am only counting the first 11. In August I finished 10 books, in Sept only 5 but I was reading mainly large books in Sept.

Ten books a month is my limit (I think, I'm still reading physical) and I'll push very hard this month to finish these BRs tho' I hardly think it will change team standings or my own showing.
Haha...am I in last place on the spreafsheet rankings? I don't wanna be TOTALLY last...don't mind being next to last...tho' this is just semantics...😝

Haha it is a good choice ;-). I've only read a couple of pages so far but I definitely like it.

[Virginie]

Great goals, Zaara! You're def not last on the rankings, and will certainly go up once you finish those two door-stoppers ;)

EDIT: checked, and you're ranked 27 right now, out of 63. See, you're even in the first half :)

October Buddy..."

I read 7 of my 10 planned reads and I'm already halfway through 2 of the others, I'm quite happy with the result :)

[Bill]

I managed 8 this month. I stalled on a few buddy reads this month and didn’t get the series I wanted done but still happy with the results.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I made progress in 3/5, but I finished zero of them. Ouch. Lol

[Bill]

Lol. Rough month Niki.

Bill wrote: "Lol. Rough month Niki."

Tell me bout it haha.

[Hailee]

I completely forgot about this.

I finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle that I started in September.
I made progress on Academ's Fury.
I started and finished Traitor's Blade and The Waking Fire. Well I finished the last 50ish pages of TWF in November but I'm counting it otherwise my list looks pretty short 😂
