I unfortunately never get around to the BOTM. I'm trying to read everything I have at home first, to be honest, and there's so much.Also, I just finished
so I'll post my review for that on the page today or tomorrow.

Yeah... I always think I should finish all the books I've been planning to read first - but then I get distracted by the BOTM and BRs! I will never get through my up next shelf at this rate.
I too get overwhelmed at times especially when RL takes over. I may be looking for a new place to live so that's stressing me out too. Oh well, at least reading is still a great escape!! I just need to do more of it :)

So I have like 4 reviews to post. So my goal is to post one a day until the end of the challenge. I'll see if I manage that. lol.
I've decided to do some manga as well so I'll have to do 2 a day since I have 7 in total.
I'm hoping that after I shower I can do a review or two. I'll probably do Burnt Offerings and if I'm really focused Blue Moon. If not I'll try to at least do a manga or two. :)
I'm also almost 1/3 or a 1/2 done Cerulean Sins so I have to add that to my eventual pile. :S
Okay time to do Burnt Offerings.
Review done. Now just for my BR comments. Also where is everyone??? It's so quiet
Any chance we are going to get another 30 points tonight? Cause if so I have two books that are 18 points and I can do some manga for like 1 or 2 more points.
It's too quiet...I was binge watching Gilmore Girls for the last couple of days so didn't get much reading in - sorry everyone - sometimes I just have to binge...
I don't think we'll get another 30 points tonight. I have 2 more books I hope to finish but I don't think I can get them done in the next 4 hours. I might get one done.
I'll wait until 11:45 pm EST to post our SS.

KK. I'll wait for next week then. Honestly one every few days exhausts me right now. Winter is kicking my butt.
I will have at least one book done probably by tomorrow so we'll start off with like 30 ish points. :)
Should we do another check in tomorrow? Make sure everyone still wants to participate?
Yeah, it did get quiet!I did manage to finish The Night Circus and The Hazel Wood this week, which is a lot of reading in one week for me! I will definitely not be finishing any more before the check in. And I might not finish any next week either, we’ll see. I’m in the middle of three really long ones right now.
Hey, I'm still here. Reading
and
right now. Probably will finish
first. I have Wednesday off school due to the weather so I'll try to give myself a little time then. I also read a short story,
for school, so I can post that review I guess, even though the most rated edition will get us like half a point.
If you have already written a review, might as well post it. :) I usually have a few partial reads or short stories for 0.5 so it can definitely add up. If you wouldn’t write a review otherwise, I guess it depends on how much you like writing them. :PHow do you like American Shaolin? It looks entertaining!

American Shaolin is interesting and very well written. Even though martial arts is not something I have any interest in, I find myself getting really into his spiritual journey.
Celia wrote: "I write reviews for everything."You are more diligent than me! I’ve started putting status updates for all my books so that way at the end I only have to write a review if I want to. A lot of times I feel like I don’t have any clear thoughts at the end, just I liked it or I didn’t.
Okay we are checking in again. Please let us know if you need to drop out or will be busy for the next week. :)**Only comments after this one count for check in.

And I got Skip-beat #1. I'm excited to start it

Woohoo! You'll love it!
Good job on week four teams! It was a tough one! The goal for week five is 110 weight.
Awesome! I can get us 30-ish right away if I can get my butt in gear.
I'm still here. And yes I'm on book #6 - I'm loving this series!
HI from what I read just read whatever and post ????
Yep that's it! And try to find books in the buddy read thread or BOTM because we get double or triple points.
I just finished Cerulean Sins. It will net us like 10-12 points. I have at least already written the review. Don't have the energy to do the BR comments right now. Almost bed time for me.
I also will HAVE to do my other reviews today as it's the end of the month so we will have a sizable amount of points up today.
Great! I should finish book #6 in Anita Blake tomorrow, and am trying to finish two other books today...we'll see. I'm 6 books behind my goal of reading 510 books this year so I have to kick it up a notch!

Wow! And I thought my goal was big. I guess if I added in comics or graphic novels to my projection, and actually found time to read them, my goal would be bigger too. I have so many comics to read...

I just finished posting my last reviews for the two monthly challenges. One was fantastic. I'm mad at the other. Just poor performances and too many disappearances. -.-I have my reviews written for my three books just have to do BR comments. Didn't even bother to post that in the monthly challenges just too much effort at this point for so little reward.
Jammin Jenny wrote: "Great. Thanks Book!"Will do at least one book's BR comments shortly. I'm just kind of pissed in general. My brother is holding the hot water hostage and I want to read!
Maybe I should do the BR comments now? Maybe that will help? Who knows? So far I've just been obsessively checking my blog.
One down two to go! We are at 32% Woohoo! Go team!
