Courtney | 16062 comments I moved Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare to a bonus spot, and I currently have the audiobook downloading. So I will most likely start that today.


message 202: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments Also its 30 hours long, and Emma bugs the heck out of me so bear with me. I might need longer then a week to finish it. Lol I will be reading other books as well though. I have the Mara Dyer ebook downloading as well.

It's funny so far. Lots of angst too:)

Courtney | 16062 comments Would any one be willing to read Beware the Young Stranger by Ellery Queen with me? It is really short and will give us the bonus points for #27 and #46. We would only have to move one book if someone is willing to buddy it with me.

Hello Team Worm, just to let you know that as Chelsea still hasn't checked in or contacted me, I'll be removing her from the team and offering her spot to the person at the top of the waiting list. Hopefully you'll have a new teammate soon ☺

Alex (lovingthevillain) | 136 comments Good morning everybody :) I already done with And I Darken and halfway through Red Queen. I‘m hoping to finish this one today.

Courtney | 16062 comments I am 4% into Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare and 45% into The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin . I was hoping to get to the half way point, but its 1 am here, and my eyes are getting heavy.


message 209: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I’ll continue reading Hate Notes later then finish Too Late.

Welcome Shae :) We all decided not to use the spreadsheet so all the descriptions are on page 1.

Well if that correct at least one will give us the bonus. Gotta check Papergirl to see if that one will.

Okay :) Im in no rush. Just wanted to make sure we can fit her books in especially if they fit the bonuses. We might have to switch some books around, so hopefully everyone is okay with that.


message 222: by Jacquelyn (new)

Jacquelyn Simon (jacquelynrose94) | 2166 comments Ok, Shae’s looked at our descriptions to see what’s available. She was hoping to get on our team!

message 224: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments We are only 2 points behind the top serious team. Good job everyone :)

I am hoping to finish Mara dyer today, and get a couple more chapters of Queen of Air and Darkness in.

Alex (lovingthevillain) | 136 comments Welcome Shae :)

I‘m done with my second book but I think I will write the review tomorrow...

Papergirl can fit into the following categories:
67. Read a book which has a word starting with the letter 'P' in the title. [we won't get the bonus though]
61. Read a book which is a standalone.
50. Read a book with something that you could throw on the cover (tell us what it is when you post your review). -- we won't get the bonus because it doesn't have a chair on it.
43.Read a quicky! (A book with 100-200 pages.)
no bonus though
37. Read a book which has a title starting with the letter 'P' (for poison) ('A' and 'The' cannot be skipped).


message 229: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Anyone wants to read Until Fountain Bridge (On Dublin Street, #1.5) by Samantha Young ? It's a novella and it perfectly fits on #43 and we'll get the bonus too.


message 230: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I'm gonna sleep y'all and continue reading tomorrow. Goodnight lovelies! <3


message 231: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6964 comments Hello! Checking in :)

Yes I have finished papergirl, it was a quick netgalley I wanted to get through.

I did do it for the 100-200 category, but it doesn’t fit the bonus (that was for the fun team I was on), so I’m happy to post it for 37. Title starting with P, if you guys want?
Are you trying to get all bonuses for categories? Just so I know for future planning.

I’m also 10% into falling kingdoms, I was reading that for the letters of FALL in title, bonus if it has the word fall in it. I’ll check the first page what number that is. I did see it was vacant when I last looked at your progress post :)


message 232: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6964 comments Number 48. For Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1) by Morgan Rhodes which I see is already updated for me anyway. Thanks for that :)


With number 33. I’m about to listen to this audio Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry and it’s a buddy. Could I take the third book for that spot? I’ll try and look for a better spot, I just knew that was the category I was reading it for so it’s the first one I know it fits.

You can take 37 or the short one. I can update it after you post or before. Its up too you. :)
We are trying for bonuses, but if we dont its okay.

You can have spot 33 as well unless you wanna use something else.

Yay! You're all checked in now ☺


message 236: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6964 comments Awesome. Thanks!

Also I found an audio for 43.

There is a paperback edition that is 120 pages so it fits the 100-200 page category.

Also this edition has a bridge so it fits the bonus Apenas Um Dia (Just one day, #1) by Gayle Forman

It’s a buddy I have planned and has a higher page count for other editions.


message 237: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments Okay so you want papergirl for 37? Just one day for 43? Is that right? I just dont wanna mess anything up.


message 238: by Shae (new)

Shae Petersen | 6964 comments 37. Papergirl by Melinda McCracken
33. Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry BR
48. Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1) by Morgan Rhodes BR and BoNUS
43. Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman BR and BONUS (with this one, I can use different editions for it to fit the 100-200 page count, bridge on cover, and then highest page count for points right?)


And I won’t take any other spots until I finish a few of these so I dont take any up that could be filled by others. I have finished papergirl, so will write my review and post soon. And should finish gathering blue today or tomorrow. I’m 10% into falling kingdoms so will keep reading that today. And just one day I will start as soon as I finish gathering blue audio (today or tomorrow)

Okay everything is updated :) I am not sure about the highest page count, but it would be better to take the bonus if Sarah says we have to choose one. I saw a serious team claim all three for this one, but I didnt check to see if it was corrected.

message 242: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments Finished another book, and now I am going to stop putting off listening to some of Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare .


message 243: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments I managed to get to 16% into Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare , but I need to get some sleep.

Maddison ask the same thing. Here is Sarah's response: For the descriptions where you're asked for books with a specific page count, so the bridge one and the one with rocks to throw, you can only use one page count, you can't say the book is 120 pages long for the description, but then claim points for 400 pages, it's one or the other. That means that if you have a longer book which also has a shorter page count, you have to decide whether to use it and sacrifice the points to complete the description or not.

It may knock one category and get the bonus points but that's a huge sacrifice in terms to the # of pages you've read.

Thats why we got to decide if its worth it. If the pages count is 200 pages, and the bonus is +5 points then we should take the bonus. If its 400 pages plus a buddy then obviously we need to find another description. I dont remember the page count for Shae's book though.

Hello everybody, just so everybody knows, for number 20, if you're going for the bonus and reading a book in less than 9 hours 23 minutes, please do a status update at 0% once you have marked the book as currently reading, and then another status update at 99% before marking the book as finished. If you do this Goodreads will log the time when you were at 0%, and again at 99%, which will show how long you were reading the book for, which will allow us to give you the bonus points ☺

Ahh that sucks! I’ll find a different spot for it later on then as it’s a 400 page book. Can you please take it out of the bridge one? Sorry guys :(

message 250: by Courtney (last edited Mar 03, 2019 01:25PM) (new)

Courtney | 16062 comments So I am going to move one of the Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab books to 70 to open up a bonus. Do you guys think it will be easier to find a book titled roar or one with the word disaster in the title?

I am not sure if I can get to The Beauty of Darkness (The Remnant Chronicles, #3) by Mary E. Pearson , and removing it from the spot. That is why I am asking. If I get to it I figured I can find somewhere else later.
