You are definitely going to finish before me. Did you like Cinder and Six of Crows, or did you love them?!
I liked Cinder(3.75-4stars)(it was quite predictable but I loved the concept of a cyborg). I LOVED Six of Crows! My best read for 2019! I want to write reviews for both of them but I don't know why I'm procrastinating!What about you?
Oh my goodness gravy! Those are two of my favourite series! Keep on reading the lunar chronicles. The beginnings are always a bit rough for her it seems. And then read Renegades. The third book comes out in November, and I'm dying waiting for it
I'm definitely looking forward to read Scarlet. Renegades seems good. I'll definitely read them, just can't tell when. Thanks for the recommendation.
2019 seems full of great new releases. There are a few books I'm/ was looking forward to myself!
Yay! It's the best (excluding Harry Potter, of course. Those aren't even in the running. Nothing could top them.)

Which ones?"
Agreed!
The first one that I'm really excited about is The Tyrant's Tomb, which will probably release on September 24.
Then I was looking forward for King of Scars which released in January I guess, though I haven't read it yet.
Then Ninth House, The Starless Sea, Wayward Son(though I haven't read Carry On yet, I'm still excited!).

Congratulations Blackandred04!!! The first person to finish the TBR challenge!!
I’m so happy you decided to take part in this challenge and I hope you enjoyed reading some cool books!
If you’re looking for a new challenge maybe come and take a look at this month’s challenge: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... 😊
Or if you have any ideas for future challenges you’d like me to host on the group come let me know, I’d love to hear ideas from everyone: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Can I still join this or am I a bit late to the party?
Mod
Then I will wait for the one for next year :)

Mod
I can't wait. I really liked the October Readathon.
Mod
that sounds like it'll be an awesome start to the new year!
jessica wrote: "that sounds like it'll be an awesome start to the new year!"Agreed.
Mod
Yea you talked to me about it but I think we all discussed it at some point!! I’m super excited! I have some great books that you all should read 😏
Does the prompts change in the beginning of the year
Mod
I know it's going to kill you Ilsen but you can only choose 2 books for the Best Books of 2020 New Year Readathon!😂
I actually have this whole other idea that you guys all might like. I call it: Reader Recommends. So instead of the books of the month each month (because lets be honest most people don't take part in it so lets replace it with something else) I'll randomly choose a group member from those who have agreed to take part to recommend like 10 books they love, 1 will obviously have to be MG but it's up to them what the rest are and the genres are totally up to them too. So each month will be a new Reader Recommends so like January can be like: Ilsen Recommends and February can be like Jessica Recommends etc etc but obviously there's only 12 months in a year so only 12 people can be chosen.
Even if people don't read the books it will generate conversation which I totally love and we'll all hear about some new books we've hopefully never heard of before!
Let me know if you guys are interested in this idea! I'd have to start sign ups for it in December in preparation for January!
Mod
The new TBR challenge I'll post in Jan 2021 will have all new prompts! I need to think out of the box for some interesting and different ones I haven't used so far! Any suggestions you guys might have I will definitely take on board😊
i love the reader recommends idea!! that sounds super awesome

What a creative idea! Sounds like fun.
Mod
Okay, so I only found this part of the group just now but I've suggested this to Kadi via message:I think these can allow flexibility to choose what books you want to read but still purge that TBR! Here are some of the ideas:
1. Friend Recs - Pick a book that has been recommended to you by a (real-life or online) friend...or else they will never speak to you again.
2. Unfinished Series - Pick the next book of a series you haven't finished but are still interested in.
3. New Author Exploration - Pick a book whose author you haven't read from yet.
4. Dat Cover Ugly - Pick a book with a less-than-aesthetic cover.
5. No Idea - Pick a book that you have no idea about or only a vague one.
6. New Series Start - Pick the first book of a series you haven't read yet.
7. Online/Booktube Discoveries - Pick a book you discovered on Booktube (Could be done with Bookstagram or Booktwitter or Bookish Buzz too).
8. Goodreads Discoveries - Pick a book you discovered on Goodreads.
9. Bookstore Discoveries - Pick a book you discovered browsing through a physical bookstore.
10. The Hype iz Real - Pick a book that's been getting a lot of hype recently (published within the past year or so).
11. Standa-lonely - Pick a stand-alone.
12. The Elephant in the Room - Pick a book from the top 5 longest books on your TBR.
13. Shortie Binge - Pick 2-3 books from the top 5 shortest books on your TBR
14. Dat Cover Pretty - Pick a book with an aesthetic cover
15. Rereadathon - Pick a book you've read before (possibly buddy read it with someone who hasn't read it while/after you read something they're rereading that you haven't read already).
16. Page to Screen (Seen) - Pick a book that you've seen a TV or movie adaptation of.
17. Popular books - Pick a book from the top 5 books on your TBR with the most number of ratings.
18. Unpopular books - Pick a book from the top 5 books on your TBR with the least number of ratings.
19. Old Author Rediscovery - Pick a book by an author that you've read from before.
20. Page to Screen (Unseen) - Pick a book that's been adapted into a TV show or movie that you haven't seen or finished.
21. Genre of the Month - Pick a book from a genre to be determined by a spinning wheel.
Let me know what y'all think!
I guess the reader recommends idea can fit into #1! (Sorry, I only just read that too. I know, I'm terrible.) I'm good with whatever at this point honestly! I desperately need a TBR purge haha. I want to keep my read and to-read difference at about a hundred.
