My only ambition this month is to finish the handful of owned books I've been trying to get through for the last few months (physical reads just don't go over well with me right now).

1. Skyward
2. Bite Club
3. Search Image
4. Gardens of the Moon
5. Wrath of the Dragon King

... I'm going to get audios for these at some point.

[Bill]

Spot

1. Silverthorn
2. White Wolf
3. The Swords of Night and Day
4. No Good Dragon Goes Unpunished
5. A Dragon of a Different Color
6. Last Dragon Standing
7. The Dread Wyrm
8. A Darkness At Sethanon
9. The Labyrinth of Flame
10. Dragons of Winter Night
11. Dragons of Spring Dawning

Got 20 books left for my overflow book pledge so going for 10 again.

I may just be stupid but I just realized you can put the series name and number you want in add book and it will give you the title. Super or me because I’m shit at remembering titles after the first book.

Someone give me a number 1 to 5.

[Virginie]

Spot. (Niki, you're cute with including Gardens of the Moon in your list every month)

Buddy reads
1. Lady of the Lake
2. Skyward
3. Minimum Wage Magic
4. Season of Storms
5. Dread Nation 📖

Solo reads: let's zero-out those series
6. Empire of Ivory
7. Victory of Eagles
8. Tongues of Serpents

10. The Summer Palace

Yeah, well... When Niki told me that I simply had to add 'cover' to my book link to transform it into a book cover link, I was in awe xD

4!

[Karishma]

@Bill thank you for that - I didn't know this either and I have problems remembering book names myself.

[Bill]

Virginie wrote: "4!"

Thanks Dragonlance it is.

Glad I’m not the only one.

I did not realize you could search it that way!! I usually enter the series and the author and shuffle through the books, but being able to just add the number is a lot easier. It's amazing how long it takes to figure out some of these things haha.

[Anni]

A little late, but I got my list together as well and I'm not happy with it 😂

Heh, why not? :o

[Virginie]

Btw, I love your little 📖 to denote currently reading. So much I'm stealing 'em :p

[Anni]

Virginie wrote: "Btw, I love your little 📖 to denote currently reading. So much I'm stealing 'em :p"

Go ahead :D
I'm not happy with my list because it's too long and I have no idea how tonread all those book this month 😂

[Virginie]

Oh, I thought you meant you didn't want to read the books on your list for some reason.

Makes more sense now :p

[Anni]

Haha no... The problem is I really want to read all of them 😂 But I see that my conment was misleading...

Sir Anni wrote: "A little late, but I got my list together as well and I'm not happy with it 😂"

Haha why are you not happy with it?

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

Wait!! I see your answer lol. That's how I feel about my list. It's stupid - too many books not enough time.

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

Virginie wrote: "Btw, I love your little 📖 to denote currently reading. So much I'm stealing 'em :p"

Stealing also. Cute!!

[Anni]

Haha, I'm glad I had something stealworthy 😂

With the little icons my list look more like me making progress

With how slow I'm reading lately, any indication of progress being made will help my state of mind lol.

[Virginie]

Alright, we're now in the second half of this month. How is everyone doing with their TBR? :)

[Anni]

Virginie wrote: "Alright, we're now in the second half of this month. How is everyone doing with their TBR? :)"

I finished 5 of my 14 planned reads... Could have been worse :)

[Bill]

I’m 5 for 11 and am just starting 2 others. I’ve barely read the last few days. Been playing video games too much.

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

I have finished 0.... 🤦‍♀️

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

But!!! I'm halfway through 4 of them haha

[Virginie]

The real question is: have you made any progress with Gardens of the Moon? 😂

[Virginie]

Nice updates, people :)

I'm at 5/10 of my TBR, and 2/5 of my bonus reads!

[Anni]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "I have finished 0.... 🤦‍♀️"

Nah, that's the wrong way to put it. You should say, you have only 5 left :)

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

Virginie wrote: "The real question is: have you made any progress with Gardens of the Moon? 😂"

Yes!!! At least 20 pages haha.

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

Yes - glass half full. Only 5 of 5 left!! Haha

[Virginie]

Ok, time to admit I won't finish Dread Nation in November. No way I can manage 75% of that book today :p

That brings me to the end the month at 14/15 reads. I'm very, very proud of myself :D

What about you guys?

[Anni]

I finished all my Solo Reads! Yay! 😁
On the other hand I did pretty bad on my Buddy Read front... In total I only finished 7 of my 14 planned reads and I'm affraid I also won't finish another book today...

But you did great Virginie! You should indeed be very proud :)

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

Excellent prof

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

Progress^ 🤦‍♀️

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

I just realized I only have 40 pages left in Gardens of the Moon...

[Virginie]

Well done, Anni! I wouldn't say you did 'bad' on your buddy reads. 14 is A LOT!

[Virginie]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "I just realized I only have 40 pages left in Gardens of the Moon..."

Victory is close! :p

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

That would be a win for the year, not just November lol.

[Virginie]

Maybe you should leave it for tomorrow, so you can include it on your December TBR, and then finish it right away lol

Anyway, we won't be starting Malazan #2 until March, so you have plenty of time to re-read... ;) ;) ;)

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

Lol, that's going to take some thought... I can either end this month with one read, or leave it at a zero completion and start December off with a bang... hmmm... decisions.

Honesty, if I can find the time today, I'm totally going to strike it off the list. I've been waiting for so long haha.

[Anni]

Haha, that's a really difficult decision. Just add it to both months 😂

If you finish late today, it's already December somewhere!

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

Haha I like the way you think. ;)

[Bill]

I finished 8 for the month which means I need to do 12 in December to hit my pledge of 100 for the year.

Oooooh so close!!

[Bill]

Pretty sure I’m going to fail. I have so many books I need to read in December outside of this challenge.

[Anni]

Sounds doable, good luck with your goal :)

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

Even so, where you're sitting now is amazing progress.

[Bill]

I’ve read 15 more than I bought this year so happy about that. Think this is the first year my unread owned books will shrink.

With that said I predict New Year’s Eve will be me sitting home alone with a bottle of whiskey crying while every device in my house plays a different audiobook. 😂
