Team Aries (S) - chat ✔

[Maddie]

Sounds good! I need to review Poison Princess and Heart of Betrayal, will do that now before dinner. Then I may get a little reading in.

[Rachel]

I’ve wrote my review for Famous Last Words so I’m hoping to post that tonight when I’m home from work 😊 I’ve got about an hour left of the audiobook for My Sister the Serial Killer (I’m going to try and finish it on my way home tonight) so I’ll aim to get a review wrote up straight away for that and posted 👍🏻 sorry guys I’m trying to catch up, the start of the month just turned out busier than I was expecting!

[Jammin Jenny]

I've got about 5 or 6 books I need to post so hopefully that will help boost our points.

[Maddie]

Okay sounds good guys! I know it's just a competition, I'm going to chill now XD Whatever happens happens, I'll use it as a good way to find time for Priory of the Orange Tree, the beast XD

[Maddie]

I'm 27% in and would like to finish this month, but who knows.

[Maddie]

@Jenny: I'm kind of confused how you got so many letters out of those editions.. Particularly the Adele Abbott one, where did the 4 I's come from? Also you can only have max 10 bonus points, so I think take out any A's that we can't use, as we have plenty of them, and focus on the other letters

[Maddie]

Sweet we just gained 108 points since last update <3 We could do this!

Aphrodite: 695
April Showers: 626
Us: 568

April Showers really caught up! But we've got this, we're all pretty close now.

[Maddie]

I'll be finishing Leah on the Offbeat today/tomorrow, so will post that up.

[Maddie]

So I didn't get finished. Oopsies. I've got so many books to get to to hit minimum. I'm not worried, as I know I'll make it, but right now it's kinda scary. I'll finish Leah tomorrow and update Tuesday for it, as well as getting caught up on my other books. After tomorrow I'll be done with Game of Thrones!

[Maddie]

I'm reading Defy the Stars and Skinful of Shadows starting tomorrow or the next day. I'll finish Leah tomorrow and also start Upside of Unrequited and then Eragon. Sorry for my speed, but I'm kind of chilling out as long as I hit minimum, while I will.

[Maddie]

What's everyone up to with their books?

[Rachel]

I’m listening to the audiobook for You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn - it doesn’t have April letters but I think I saw you get points for being published in April?

[Maddie]

Yeah +2 points for published in April.

I'll finish Leah today and update tomorrow, and also start Upside of Unrequited, which has 6 bonus points

[Jammin Jenny]

I finished a couple of books and need to post them. I'm reading about 4 books right now and need to finish them.

[Maddie]

I finished Leah, will post for it now, and am 71% into The Upside of Unrequited. I'm also 15 pages into A Skinful of Shadows and will start Defy the Stars today.

I'm soooo glad that I caught up with Game of Thrones :D I'm now freeee

[✨ A ✨]

I'm about 70% into the Rose and the Dagger. And I still need to write my review for Daisy Jones and the Six.

@maddie Same! I finished my re-watch just in time for the new episode. So glad I can now focus more time on reading : )

[Maddie]

I've finished Upside of Unrequited! Will update that now. I'm also
28% into Priory of the Orange Tree
20% into Eragon audio (will finish this weekend)
32% into Skinful of Shadows (also finish this weekend I think)
14% into Defy the Stars

Yes I'm the same! I've already picked up on my reading! :o

[Maddie]

And for once I'm not letting this challenge dominate my life! If I read, I read. If not, oh well.

[Maddie]

Different approach to usual.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

GJ Maddie! ^-^

[Maddie]

I can't be bothered to post :/ But I know I need to!

Also forgot to mention I'm going away for Easter weekend. But that's happening. I plan to read a little while I'm away, and also will get Eragon finished and another audio started too, if not finished. Not sure how things will go on the physical front, but I'm coming home a few days early to just have some alone time at home without work or family and just read and watch yt

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

That's how I always feel. lol

Oooh what plans do you have? Just visiting family?

[Maddie]

Yeah but I've gotta push through this time. And also put up an Insta post!

Not visiting family, just going away camping with family. Go twice a year. January and Easter. But I don't wanna go the whole weekend this time coz I want some chill time.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Camping sounds fun.... lol. I hate camping but I know others love it. :P

[Maddie]

I like it coz we camp at the beach, and use it as games time and chill time

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Ooooh. I might like camping on the beach! I love the water and sand. I just hate bugs and outdoor creatures. :(

[Maddie]

Yeah same XD Bugs are gross. And bees too. But the beach is so lovely.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

So no bugs? Even mosquitoes? O.o If so I might try beach camping. I don't know if I can in Canada though. :/

[Maddie]

Yeah there's bugs and mozzies XD Everywhere.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Egh. :(

[✨ A ✨]

@Maddie How is Eragon in audio? I'm starting it this weekend too.

[Maddie]

It seems fine so far! I can't wait to get to the rest of the series finally!

Also one of the other teams just jumped like 170 points... I think it's safe to say we can chill out for now XD

[✨ A ✨]

hey guys I made a thread for a Game of thrones after show discussion : https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Maddie]

Oh gosh XD Maybe I should just read it to try and understand the show better XD

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Hello Team Aries, as I've spoken with Kelly and she's concerned that she's not going to make it to 12 books this month, and as Rachel hasn't posted any yet, I've decided to add an extra member to your team from the waiting list to try and take the pressure off them a bit ☺

Ashy Khaira will be joining your team, and I'll be moving her points over from the solo side of the challenge over to your scoreboard today ☺

[Ashy Khaira]

Hailo,checking in :)

[Rachel]

Thanks Sarah! 😊 I do have 3 books to post so they will go up soon!

[Rachel]

Hello Ashy!

[Linaria]

Hello ashy

[Kelly]

Sorry guys, I really didn't expect to be in a slump this month! I'm almost done with one of my books.

Hi Ashy :)

[Jammin Jenny]

Hi Ashy!

I finished 3 books today and am working on a fourth. I'll post those books shortly - going through notifications now

[✨ A ✨]

Hi ashy!

[✨ A ✨]

Good morning all!
I'm about 65% in the kiss quotient which I started last night

And I'm hoping to finish Eragon this weekend and the sun is also a star.

I have two other reviews that I still need to write /post XD

[Linaria]

Sorry I've been away for work, but I did a lot of reading! I should have about 10 reviews up in the next few hours.

[Jammin Jenny]

I finished two more books today - will post them before I go to bed.

[Linaria]

posted 9 reviews

[Maddie]

Hey Ashy! :D

April Showers is at 1010 points!

Nice stuff! I finished up Defy the Stars, and posted that. I'm 57% into A Skinful of Shadows, 64% into Eragon and am also starting Once & Future and Furyborn tonight. Will get into Defy the World and Dating You/Hating You in a few days' time.

[Maddie]

We need lots of I's. I think that if some books even just have one I rather than three other bonus letters, we take it, because we need the bonus points that come from Aprils

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Maddie if you want I's one of Clephiro's already submitted books has an I edition - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

[Maddie]

I think I'll wait to get agreement from more of my team first
