[Maddie]

I dont like hof much, I adore the last 100 pages of qos, all of eos and all of koa.

And sorry for some of my books not going to be buddy reads. I need to read them for review haha

[Maddie]

Also sorry that some of them won't be BRs because they're review copies or because they're just not popular, but I'll be reading them anyway. And they don't all work for bonus. That makes it sound like I'm not competitive, but boy I am XD All of my audios will work for bonuses.

[✨ A ✨]

I'll also be trying to get through a few ARCs some of which I won't find buddies for ☺

[Maddie]

I feel like this month will be more chill for me, and not so much pressure. I never know though until the month starts and this competitive streak kicks in.

[Jammin Jenny]

That's my downfall too - it's buried deep inside then it raises its ugly head...

[Maddie]

Yes haha

[Linaria]

hi

[Maddie]

Hey Clephiro! What are your plans for next month?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Great news guys, you're all checked in ☺

[Linaria]

Not sure yet. I’m going to try to catch up on the arcs I’m behind on I think.

[Maddie]

Sure thing!

And awesome stuff Sarah!

I start this challenge in less that 11 hours, and I'll be starting with King of Scars as well as Heir of Fire. I'm not sure yet which audio I'll start with, but they'll definitely be ones from my TBR. I'll try and make them also have bonus letters, just not sure if they'll be BRs

[Maddie]

I'm starting Insurgent tomorrow (I and R for April) and then Leah on the Offbeat (L and A for April) and then Allegiant (A and R for April)

[Maddie]

Also got First Love by James Patterson (L and P in April) and Last Boy and Girl in the World and another one. So I've got a few audios to pick from. I'll get one done every 2 days around abouts.

[Maddie]

@Azrah: Will you be doing Insurgent and Allegiant and Four? I kind of remember you may be.

I have to Finish insurgent for March. Hopefully I'll make it in time lol. But yeah allegiant and four in April

[Maddie]

Yay! And you dont have to finish insurgent, you can count the pages you read this month in may, and the pages you read next month in April.

Yay an hour until challenge! Unfortunately I havent finished up crooked kingdom yet so I'll hopefully have the rest of that and also my first audio up by the end of tomorrow.

[✨ A ✨]

@maddison so I wasn't able to get around to insurgent this weekend (it's almost midnight here in South Africa) so I guess it will be my first book in April. Do you want me to request a reset for the thread?

[Maddie]

Oh sure yes please!

[Maddie]

Right now time for me to get back into Crooked Kingdom to get that finished up tonight, get us 4 points. I'll also finish up First Love by James Patterson tomorrow, and I'll get King of Scars and Heir of Fire started

[✨ A ✨]

I'm going to have it set for the 1st

I don't remember who asked us to br allegiant but they requested a thread that is specifically for allegiant not for the series thread.. which I don't think makes much sense because then where would we read Four?

[✨ A ✨]

I might be a little slow the first half of the month. I'm trying to catch up on Game of thrones before the last season comes out : D

I wanted to ask those of you who read ARCs. I started this arc last month that I am really not liking and I don't know if I should dnf it. I haven't read that many books on Netgalley yet (this one would have been my 4th).. Can I dnf? I feel so bad lol

[Maddie]

We can just continue using the series thread for Allegiant and Four, they can jump over if they want.

Yeah I'm rewatching too, hence why I'll only get through an audio every 2-3 days, rather than one every day. So we will just see what happens after I catch up on Game of Thrones, on whether I want to watch another tv show or whether I want to do audio.

Yeah you can DNF it! But with Netgalleys, even if I DNF them, I still submit that DNF as a review, otherwise your ratio doesn't get any better. So I just say something like 'Thank for you the opportunity to read this book, but it just doesn't seem like it's one for me. Unfortunately I am going to stop reading it' or something like that.

[Maddie]

I'll finish up First Love (18 points) tomorrow, as well as Crooked Kingdom tonight (but will update it tomorrow) 4 points.

[✨ A ✨]

Thanks for the help maddison! I'll do that

[Maddie]

No worries! And call me Maddie :p

Did you want to sprint?

[✨ A ✨]

Will do!

I can't right now : (
And also I have never sprinted before lol. Does it really help? I think I will need to try it. But not right now ...maybe tonight.


So I will be listening to Uprooted via audio. I listened to about 10% know March so I'll still get about 90% in April + br points.

I started insurgent (physical) early this morning
And I have another arc to finish.

[Maddie]

Yeah no worries, I'm about to hop into bed and finally finish up Crooked Kingdom! Sprinting is absolutely the best. I'll explain it later when we both have time!

Sounds great! Keep us all updated, and post on the thread so I have motivation XD

[✨ A ✨]

Jeez it's already night time by you? 😱

[Kelly]

I started listening to An amber in the ashes (16 points) and I started reading the ebook of The spy in the silver palace (10 points) :)

When is the last season of GoT coming out? I might have to rewatch it too haha but not this month.

Don't the new seasons usually air in April? That's what I remember but it's been a few years since I watched it... :/

[Maddie]

April 15!! 2 weeks which is so insane! I'm still only halfway through s4 so I have at least 35 episodes to go.. i have to watch a lot tomorrow.

[Maddie]

And yeah its 10pm on the 1st for me! Cant wait to read so much tomorrow and watch game of thrones!

[Kelly]

Oh well I remember a lot of what happened so I probably won't rewatch it xD

[Maddie]

XD see I remember nothing. Even while watching s7 i had no idea what had happened the previous week let alone the precious episodes. So I need to rewatch to end it on a high note otherwise I'd be so lost and i need to watch it now or I never would

[✨ A ✨]

I'm on season 5 now.

@kelly there are few videos on YouTube that show a recap of the other seasons so you don't feel lost when season 8 comes out. : )

[Maddie]

Ah nice! I hoping to get majority through king of scars tomorrow as well as a few more episodes of got

[Linaria]

I'll be a smidge slow to start as I have some ongoing books to finish, but I'll get started tomorrow likely.

[✨ A ✨]

No problem Clephiro, I think most of us are doing the same : )

[Maddie]

You can still count the pages you read this month from the unfinished books from March!

April Showers is 2 points ahead aaahhhh. Not for long though XD

[Maddie]

Aphrodite's 4 points ahead

When I finish First Love though we'll be in the lead

[Maddie]

So guys I unfortunately don't think I can count my Throne of Glass books, as it hasn't been a year since my last re-read. But I'll still be reading other things in the meantime that I can count!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

How long has it been? Sometimes Sarah will still count it if you ask.

[Maddie]

I'll be starting King of Scars in around an hour, once I've taken my Instagram photos and had a shower.

[Maddie]

Just over 6 months.

[Maddie]

I'll ask her XD

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Probably not then but there's a chance. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Oh and did you see the April's Fools joke on Netgalley? It's Nutgalley! lol.

[Maddie]

That's a negative for counting them, but that's alright!

Nope XD I'll look now!

[Maddie]

Haha that's cute!
