I'm going to try get when dimple met rishi finished today and then start a couple.
Maybe they have some reviews stored up? For now I'm just pushing to read as much as possible and retake the lead back from Leipers, hehe!I'm reading Jurassic Park and The Perks of Being a Wallflower today and hoping to finish both off before the weekend.

@Shar: Yeah I really don't understand either!
I'm 60% into King's Cage. Had a super busy last two days. Hoping to finish tomorrow, but then again who knows. I've got a lot of other stuff going on.
Mod
I started perks of being a wallflower yesterday so I'll have that done in no time.
Mod
Also turns out that my brother's got a soccer game on today that I want to go to, so yet another day of basically no reading. Tonight after my friends leave I'll try and read, but I had another super shit night's sleep, waking up every hour, so I need an early night. This subconscious stress is killing me, but I've decided to probably cancel the office job, and just do more hours at the supermarket and study more (and read more :p) I feel so much better about it. But still not getting good sleeps.
Alaina and Ashy and Andrea and Felicia are back up in serious too, so I'm staying away from there until I know I have time to hoon through books.

Good call on cancelling the job if it's going to overwhelm and stress you that much I think. My Neighbours came home at 3am last night (pretty sure they were drunk) and they started banging loudly on the door and making so much noise so I had a terrible sleep.
Mod
Going to try and get more of Game of Thrones read in the car on the way to brother's soccer, which is 45min away. So far ugh, but he isn't playing tomorrow and I do like watching the soccer.
I think we only need these two for the next round now:Aztec Mystery
Industrial Mystery

Mod
So sorry to hear you all had such a rubbish sleep :( I'm going out for a meal tonight but have a lot of time before then to get reading. Really want to get Jurassic Park finished and maybe An Ember in the Ashes too.I think we have three categories left, but I may be wrong:
Aztec Mystery
Industrial Mystery
Futuristic Mental
I posted for Futuristic Mental earlier today so it's just the other two :)
Shar wrote: "I posted for Futuristic Mental earlier today so it's just the other two :)"Ooh, sorry! I just saw your post :) Awesome! I should be finished with a post for Aztec Mystery in the next hour or less.
Mod
We're about 50 points behind the first team. With a big push until th end of the month hopefully we can make it :)Just posted my review for Jurassic Park and moving on to starting An Ember in the Ashes. It counts for the final challenge we need to complete for this round.
I literally just remembered I'm going on holiday on Monday. It's a city break with my family for 5 days so I'll have lots of wifi and reading time and will also be able to upload, unlike on my last little hol :)
Mod
That's great news Dannii! I'm not leaving the house tomorrow (at least at this rate I'm not) so plan is to read a lot! I'll read a little more in bed now, but I'd like to make it at least another 200 pages into DoSaB tomorrow. Maybe finish it, but not sure.
Ok all I can see we need for Round 7 is Industrial Mystery which I'm fixing to finish
for so that will be round 7. For round 8 I see we need:Aztec: Mental✔ and Skill ✔
Industrial: Mental ✔ and Mystery
Futuristic: Mental, Skill, and Mystery
Medieval: Mental
Someone may want to double check me though but that is where we are at I think.
I'm just about to finish another audiobook so I'll see if that fits for one of those.

Sorry guys my sister graduated yesterday, so the last couple days have been hectic. I still hope to get at least 4 to 5 books in.

Mod
Off to sleep now, will get some more Game of Thrones in before I sleep. But won't be finishing it this month. Who knows if I'll even finish DoSaB the way things are going now..
I'm feeling a lot better now, thank you. Super busy day so not much reading done. I have a 7 hour coach ride tomorrow though so plenty of reading time there:)
Mod
I'm back to work today, so I'll get further into King's Cage audio :)
Mod
if anyone wants to BR. I've got a buddy already, but just letting you guys know :)
Ok y'all, I'm back from my trip and have a handful of reviews to write up tomorrow. I didn't read quite as much as I hoped, but I do have 8 or 9 reviews to put up. Maybe it will get us another trip to the dome.
I've got
and
done. I just need to add them to the review thread.
Mod
ugh, I posted half of my reviews and will have 4 more tomorrow, maybe 5.
I'm reading
and marked it for Industrial Mystery: Read a book which has a telephone/mobile phone/cell phone on the cover.
Can someone go back through and check me? I'm counting us at 9 Aztec Mysteries (I just posted one).. there was 6 at last count by sarah and then there were 2 posted before count today (one by me and one by Dannii) plus the one I just posted which counts as 9. I can't tell if I'm doing it right though.
I've counted a couple times and I think we are supposed to be at Aztec
Ph/ME/SK/MY
9___8___8___8
Not counting the one I just posted
Ok if my calculations are correct and we were at 9___8___8___8 like I thought that means that after all the books posted up until now we only Need:Futuristic: Mental and Mystery
If we get that posted before sarah counts we should get trip 8 and 9 all at once.

@ Maddie I thought we were going to use the series read along thread? Did you set up a thread for just that book?
