Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Guess who is writing her reviews finally??? Me!!! And we are done with Part 1.

Also about the bonus points, I try my best to read to get bonus points, but I would prefer to read a book, without them and know that i will enjoy them, rather than reading fro the 5 points and know that i'm forced to do it, and i'm gonna hate it, cause this screams reading slump for me, and for me it's not worth it. But as I said, I try my best! :)

Hello Team Toby, just to let you know that I have messaged Alex to ask if they are still taking part in the challenge as they have yet to post any reviews. If I don't hear back by monday I'll look for a replacement for you.
Thanks x

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments So for now do we want to see if any of our banked/already read books work for the spots Alex would have taken?


message 358: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments I think maybe we should give her a chance to respond and see if shes still participating. So maybe by tomorrow?

Hello Team Toby, just to let you know, Alex has replied to me and says that they are reading. I've asked for them to comment here though to let you know what's going on ☺

Lex (greenbeanreads) Hey guys! Sorry, I've just been really bad at posting my reviews and chatting on the group. I'm in a bit of a reading slump but I've finished three of the books for the descriptions, I just need to update my account but I'll check on the spreadsheet to see what you guys have done or haven't. Sorry about the wait!

Sorry I've just seen that someone has filled in for one the books I've finished (description #4) so I'll make sure to fill it in for the next round! Otherwise I've just posted my reviews on the review chat.

Again, sorry about the wait, I'll make sure I'm much better on here.


message 361: by Lex (new)

Lex (greenbeanreads) I'm going to get going on description #20 (read 923 and in less than 9.5 hours for bonus points) on Tuesday and I'll try to get the bonus points as well so wish me luck!


message 362: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Yay welcome back Alex!


message 363: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Just remember for description 20 it’s read 923 OR a book in 9 hrs 23 minutes you don’t have to do both just one or the other. If your doing the timed one when you start the book leave an update saying your starting and then leave one when you finish!

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments For ‘ello’. I can just use something with the word “hello” and still get the bonus yea? I’ve found something on KU I can read for it if so!

Thats ok Edit~A work is important or you can't buy more books :)


message 376: by Lex (new)

Lex (greenbeanreads) Hello everyone :)

I know it must seem I'm a bit behind on the challenge because I've only read two books according to the review sheet. Please don't stress! I'm actually up to five. I just haven't had the time to upload one review, one book as I mentioned earlier I didn't realise someone else had taken over so I'll have to fill it in if we get onto the next round and the other book is part of a two book description so I don't want to upload my review until I've finished the other half!

I hope that all makes sense and I'm sorry if it seems like I am slacking. I'll have a lot more free time on my hands next week as well so I'll be able to read a lot more then!


message 377: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments That sounds just fine Alex :)


message 378: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ok I’ve been trying to catch up on some reviews. I have a habit of leaving things in my currently reading shelf till I have time and motivation to write them. I’m on vacation the next couple of days so I’ll have a tad more time for reading and reviewing. I’ve just been swamped this month with real estate things and vacation planning. Probably spend most of the next few days with audio sense we will be doing family things on vacation the next couple of days!


message 379: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments I started Saving Axe, which will count for #55 and I'm hoping to read Borges and the Eternal Orangutans this weekend, #41


message 380: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments I just keep reading but I can't really log most of it. Waiting on BR dates for some of my numbers I haven't done yet. Reading Hello Stranger Contemporary Fantasy Romance (Gifted-Book 1) by Skylar Layzer , and Beware the Wolf (Falling, #2) by Laura Prior sometime today tomorrow since have family events planned today as well. The good news is if we ever make it to round 2 I think we will jump to 1st place with all the banked books we have. Hopefully we will get the opportunity!


message 381: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Murrell | 3686 comments I hope to finish The Power of Six (Lorien Legacies, #2) by Pittacus Lore and The Longevity Solution Rediscovering Centuries-Old Secrets to a Healthy, Long Life by Jason Fung today


message 382: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Ok I am writing my reviews now


message 383: by Lex (new)

Lex (greenbeanreads) Is anyone currently reading a series they just have to read the last book for? If so, someone is welcome to swap with me for #70. I can finish it otherwise!


message 384: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments I can use the last Tauren souls book for it and find something else for that number if you want!


message 385: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments If you want to trade me for the number with description: 2 people on the cover I think it’s number 44 but I’m on my phone and can’t look it up we can trade otherwise I can read both but if you have a book with 2 people on a cover we can trade whatever you want!

I'll happily trade with you for #49 (I just looked it up) :). I'll read Me, Earl and The Dying Girl


message 387: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ok I’ll move the Tauren souls book I had for that number to #70 then!


message 388: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Hey girls, did you find anything for my description 15 to read? I think Tiera you said you had a book for it, since I don't? I am ready to switch with another of your descriptions if you want. The SS wasn't updated that's why.


message 389: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Yea I’ve already read it even, but I’m on vacation and haven’t been able to update the SS on my phone. Should be home later tonight and get it updated!

Cool, I got worried for a second :D


message 391: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments I know I've been slacking, I've had almost no time to physically read, just audios. So I broke down and bought some of my books on Audible. Hoping to get to them by tomorrow


message 392: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Ooooh. What'd you buy?


message 393: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson Love, Hate & Other Filters by Samira Ahmed and Godsgrave (The Nevernight Chronicle, #2) by Jay Kristoff

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments Cool! Hope you enjoy them! Are they short?


message 395: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Hey Alex if you need I already have a book banked for #20 with the updates for the bonus I can post.


message 396: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments Godsgrave is like 20 hours haha. But I did finish the other 2 :)

I hear ya. I'm on HP 4 and it's over 20h. Taking me forever.


message 398: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments Yeah, those HP books get really long.


message 399: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Well I'm finishing up my last 3 numbers and I'm not sure what to do next. We have more books banked than we have read for round 1 I think lol. Let me know if there is anything I can do.. I've just been basically slow playing it and twiddling my thumbs till now so I can hit my buddy reads! In other words someone give me something to do lol!

I am writing my last reviews. I think we should put the books from the Banked in (doesn't matter if we have bonus or no for them) and move to round 2, and if people finish their categories it will be counted for R2
