message 601: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 9905 comments She is!

I'm currently reading 3 books. I'm also going to post one of my BR books today. In fact right now. While listening to my HP audio. Just got it in French too! Might have been a bit too enthusiastic there. I'm not quite up to reading it. Maybe if I had a french copy in front of me? I have it as slow as possible. Almost painfully slow.

Yeah listening in another language that you aren't completely fluent in would be hard.

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments Wait, if I'm doing a BR on this group but with people from my monthly challenge instead of this challenge, does it still count as a BR for points? If so, I will put in 8 points by the end of the week, probably the end of the weekend even. If not it will be four. The book is Three Dark Crowns (Three Dark Crowns, #1) by Kendare Blake if anyone wants to BR and the BR thread is https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Okay, good to know. Eight points by Sunday, then.

They count in the week you post them. So if you post any today they will count for this week. If you want them to count for next week you can wait and post tomorrow.

I realy enjoyed it, I would of prefer for the ending to be more open it was a little rushed and not sure if she chose for the right reason

If you haven't read The Impossibility of Us by Katy Upperman and you like contemporary romance, I highly recommend this. I absolutely loved it


message 634: by Celia (new)

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments Also reading Things Fall Apart (The African Trilogy, #1) by Chinua Achebe for school if anyone wants to BR.


message 635: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 3851 comments I'd like to read that one Celia.

Things Fall Apart? I can request a BR thread if you want. It's only 209 pages though, so it'll be just 4 points if we BR. I think there's some T's (for the title) and A's (for the author) available still in the spreadsheet.


message 637: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 3851 comments That's better than 2 points if we don't BR :)

I just put in the request for the thread, starting tomorrow. I will be kind of slow since it's for school and I have to read a set amount of chapters per night, and don't like to read ahead in school books because then I end up spoiling things in class discussions. But I put in the thread request. And that will be four points for each of us, so it'll come out to eight. =)

Sounds good. I already started it, so I will post on the BR thread when we get it.

Pretty sure my spreadsheet comment made no sense. Thought I was in my crossword group! Sorry!

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments I will be done with Meet Cute Some People Are Destined to Meet by Jennifer L. Armentrout by the end of today, and because of the long weekend, I will be on a bus for twelve hours total for a college trip, which might mean I can get another done before the check in.

message 646: by Celia (new)

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments I finished Meet Cute Some People Are Destined to Meet by Jennifer L. Armentrout . I will be out of town for a couple days without reliable internet access, so can someone post my review, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..., on the review page and update the SS tomorrow? Thank you.


message 647: by Celia (new)

Celia Buell (semi hiatus) (celiareadsbooks) | 3944 comments My trip was actually cancelled due to bad weather, so I won't be reading as much as I planned, and Meet Cute might be my only book for this week. Sorry!


message 648: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 2102 comments Celia I can post your review. You want it done tomorrow? Or can I go ahead and do it now?

I already got it. My trip ended up cancelled due to weather, so I was able to do it earlier. Thanks, though.
