Thanks! I have a few accounts now that I remember what overdrive is. The mods and a few others have shared all that info. I don't really use it much. I should really use it more...
So I am Harry Potter obsessed. I have four versions of HP #1 now and 2 of HP#2 but will probably get 4 as well of that.
Mod
I'm not really fluent either but I almost was a long time ago. Trying to get fluent again.
I do have the first few on audio - we started into book 3 but kid got bored so I'm waiting until she asks to listen again lol she loved the first 2 - she's now into percy jackson series with her dad so I'm waiting for my turn lol

So some people know that I’ve been having computer problems with my work laptop and since I basically live at work - it is where I do most of my score updates. This is day 2 of it not working, so scores, updates, and everything else will get down once I get home. Whenever that is. 😭
Sorry for the inconvenience but I totally blame Denver.

Sorry to hear that Alaina. No pressure. They will get done when they get done. :)
I don't check the scores so ........................I don't really wanna listen again from the beginning.. just gonna wait for kid to get in mood again lol I've waited this long to read them I can wait a bit longer

Felicia wrote: "How do you read so much not listening to audios?! OMG!"I read on my phone at work when it's slow. But I recently got promoted so in April my work load will change drastically so kindle reading will probably go down sadly. But I'm hoping to get more into audio then :)

Sigh.. I mean if we must wait...
You know I'm kidding :P
I used to listen to books on cd and think the speed was totally normal and once I started using overdrive and discovered I could speed up the narrator, it seems excruciatingly slow to listen on normal now! Which is so crazy to me lol. I have worked my way up and now am on 2x and that’s perfect for me at this point. But like you guys said, overdrive caps out there so I don’t know if I could be good with a higher speed yet. There have been some super slow narrators where I feel I could’ve done 2.25 or 2.5 so who knows. All I know is I’m hooked! I will always prefer holding a physical book and reading with my eyes, (but I feel they read at like .75 speed haha)but in order to read more I’m SO grateful for audiobooks!!

lmfao. Well I just walked in the door - so I will start it soon :)
Audible always sounds cool but I don’t really know much about it and how to use it so I try to stick to library and free even though waiting in long hold lists does get frustrating...
Anna 'Bookbuyer' call me bookbuyer. ^-^ wrote: "So I am Harry Potter obsessed. I have four versions of HP #1 now and 2 of HP#2 but will probably get 4 as well of that."Lol same! I have hardcovers for the entire series and then gryffindor house editions for the first two with third pre-ordered, and then first three in the beautiful illustrated editions. A bit of a crazy Harry Potter nut here lol. My puppy is named Luna too :-)
Aly wrote: "Wow that's a lot of Harry Potters! I recently listened to the series for the first time and thought it was amazing. I can't listen in other languages though since I'm not fluent in anything else"I forgot I have all the audio books as well on my iPod the narrator is so amazing. Those are probably my favorite audiobooks and so easy to listen and get lost in.

sounds good. And I can also listen to
since it's on the romance package if you want
Aly wrote: "Yes, sounds good. And I can also listen to since it's on the romance package if you want"I'll make the thread for Caged now. And I listened to the hitman one already. I made that thread into a series thread. So whenever you want to start listening you can jump right in. (:
JENNIFER! Look I found the second book to this Fire Possessed book we're reading! It comes out on the 11th! Let's read it!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Aly, OMG! Caged is 554 pages. Lmfao. -.-
Judy, I noticed you have a lot of letters claimed on the SS that you actually haven't started those books yet. We're only filling in letters with books we are currently reading or have already finished. It's not fair to other people who might be able to get letters done when people are claiming letters for books they haven't started yet.Can you go through and either put that you're actually currently reading the books the books you have in there or take them out?
Ashley, you have a few claimed as well that aren't marked as done or currently reading. I tried going through your read books but there are some I think that I missed.
Hrm really? I only add what I'm done/reading - I'l double check
The only one that I have as current reading is ursula's book - the rest are all done/reviewed and show done ? am i missing something lol

Aly wrote: "Felicia, 554 pages?! It better be good lol"YES! That many pages. Lmfao. Holy shit balls Batman. I just started it. Got through the first chapter. These are long af chapters again. *eye roll* But it's about to get interesting. I can tell. So fingers crossed. Lol.
Yeah I didn't realize there was a "done/current" column until just then so I'll put that in myself from now on lol guess I need to scroll right more than just the page # and BR columns haha

Yay! I hate waiting for the next book in a series for too long.
Hannah wrote: "Are we doing banked books again?"Yes, there is a banked book tab on the spreadsheet :)
Thanks Jenn. I guess I could have gone and looked myself lol
Haha no worries :) I only knew because I've been adding books to that tab
You can use it for 9 across T. Are you not reading Stealing Snow then? I'll take that out.
Mod
I bought that book. Good to know. I haven't read it yet. Mabe I'll add it to the prize list. Lolol.
I didnt mind stealing snow - it wasn't fabulous but it was cute enough
Hey Ladies! I see we have a good amount of banked books! I signed up for like 10 books, which I plan on reading (4 down, 6 to go). But I don't want to be a letter hog, I can take the ones I am not currently off (minus my two Bus). That will clear up like 3 addition spaces for the books that have been banked.I can clear up Two "A's" and "M" and a "V"
How does that sound?
