I think I'll HAVE to read The Wicked King tomorrow as the waiting will kill me otherwise. Then I should do an ARC.

I want to reread The Cruel Prince first to get a refresher, but I am excited to read that as well!

YAY! I'll definitely have someone to read it with then. ^-^
I'm already on page 6. It's all I could read last night before passing out.
So I have the reviews done. Just have to muster some energy for more BR comments. :)
I also had to write a review for one of my manga so I'll be posting that as well. I have like 6 of them but I don't like to do reviews for them unless I have to do I'm kind of 'saving' them for when I need them for other groups. :)

We are in week 2 - it ends Monday at midnight EST.
I'm almost done The Wicked King. I'm about 1/3 to 1/2 done. :)
How is everyone's reading going?
I am having so much trouble concentrating. I keep switching over to Facebook, lol! I have three that are getting close to done, though.

Sprinting meaning you read a lot in one sitting? From the same book? I haven't heard that term before. But yeah, I am going to get a lot of reading in today, hopefully.
Kind of. It means finding a sprinting partner and kind of racing each other or encouraging each other to read as much as possible. You set a time and a length and read for that time and then share the amount of pages or percentages you read.
Ohhh, I have never done that. Sounds like fun!
Caroline wrote: "Ohhh, I have never done that. Sounds like fun!"It is. There are several places to do them. I could even do one with you now if you like.
It would go something like
start time :35 for 25 min.
So start at :35 and read until :00
then come back here and put like 5% read or 19 pages read. ^-^
Sure, I'd like to do it! I guess it's a bit late to start at :35, lol! (That means 35 after the hour?) But we could start at :40?
Sure. Want to do short or long? I prefer short but I can do a long one if you want. ^-^
Short is good! You can pick the time :)
That's the last sprint I can do. ^-^
Okay. Thanks for the sprints, that was fun!

So my brain has been scattered this month and I haven't been updating the SS with my books. I can't remember if Wild Magic was counted last week or not? Anyone remember?
NM. I see that someone has kindly updated for me. Thank you!
Yes I've been cross-checking the review thread with the SS to make sure we got everything. :)
Also I just noticed I'm down in the SS twice??? What?

I updated my latest book for it but I don't have the book in the review thread yet so maybe I should take it out. I will definitely be reviewing it by 'today' but I have to sleep first.
Thanks. I was like is there an Anna I don't know about? Also where is all my points? lol.
We are doing really well this week. I might have another book finished today. I think I'll try to read Wolf Speaker. It's a short re-read for me so I'm hoping I'll finish before the check in. :)
You're welcome..We are close to our goal of 120 this week - right now we're at 96...great job guys!!

Maybe I should try a longer book? I think Caroline will have a book soon.
I am not that close to finishing another book as I am reading The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women which is long and emotionally intense, but I'm also trying to read some things between that so I'll see what ends up happening. I'm going to try to read Educated but I don't really know anything about it so I don't know how long it will take.
Long books are hard but so worth it. ^-^

92 I think, not 96, unless I am reading it wrong
Anna 'Bookbuyer' call me bookbuyer. ^-^ wrote: "Long books are hard but so worth it. ^-^"Yeah, I love long books!
I will have a few finished soon. I'll see if I can get one done by the check-in, but they might all be after. :/
It's okay if you don't get it in by check in. I'm just excited we are so close!
