Katie- It has! Long and tiring but good. How’s yours? And I’m not doing Ignite me because I never finished the other one. Still getting through Heir of Fire too! But I’ll have that one done soon for our book 4 read!
@Katie so I'll request a thread for tommorow?
So glad school is going well!! My year is off to a great and fast start but also pretty tiring. I’m not used to being so tied all the time! Ha! Our school bond passed last year, so we have a lot of construction going on right now, including my new room! So I’m in a different space until March! Ha! Fany- today works just fine!!! :)

I wanna read the strange the dreamer series soon! is it very slow?"
If you want to BR for this challenge, I have the book next to me :)

@Katie I've requested a thread for today, sorry I didn't do it earlier (school is kind of eating my time). Speaking of BR's - so I'm gonna have
now and then I have a BR on
that is going on really slowly. I'm planning on reading 6 books this month but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to do this with school going on. I don't know what are the other books that I want to read, though.
@ Saarawww I wish I could, but this month I'm already so busy with school and all. I'm reading Truthwitch right now and later in the month I have a Thunderhead and Radio silence BR.

@Katie we've got the buddy read! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Speaking about school - the school year has started great but somehow I already feel exhausted. I do enjoy it but I fall asleep all the time. We've got a bunch of new nice teachers, though, which I'm very happy about.
@Fany- Glad your school year is off to a great start!!! My reading has slowed way down compared to the summer because of school! HA! I kind of struggled with Six of Crows (I'm in the minority with that book) so I want to make sure I read the next one slow enough to understand it. I'm looking forward to it...I hope it's easier for me to get into than the last one! :)@Evelyn-I loved both Thunderhead and especially Radio Silence! I would love to hear your opinions when you're done with those books!
Does anyone else have any great book suggestions of their favorite books lately? I'm always looking for suggestions!

No problem. I understand :)
I'll finish a couple of books in the next few days.
Katie, I'm starting Queen of Shadows early (tomorrow), so I don't get behind like I did the last one. I own the book but because it was a pdf transferred to my kindle, I can't open it on my work computer. I was actually able to check out the ebook, amazingly, so I can read it while I'm at school as well.

Will ask right now. I go for 16th September.
@ Krystal- I’m excited to start the next book! Did you end up liking the third book okay? I’ll start the next book next week!! @ Fany- I’m honestly really enjoying Crooked Kingdom right now!! So much better than the first book, and I wasn’t expecting this, so I’m pleasantly surprised! I’ll post an update on the thread soon!
I haven’t read all the rules for the next month’s challenge, but is anyone else planning on doing it? It sounded very confusing with what I did read in the rules. I think I read more when things are a bit more challenging and when I have a spread sheet to help me with my planning compared to free read months like this, but it sounds pretty confusing so far.... I have to read rest of the rules later tonight :)
Have a good weekend everyone! I’m at my son’s flag football game now getting some good reading in :)
The challenge does sound super detailed so I’ll probably do solo for that one. And yes, I did end up liking the end!!!!!

Sierra, this is the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
YAY...I JUST got the audiobook on my libby account today for Little Fires Everywhere so I might join you if I have time!
Hey team, we are doing great. The other team is definitely trying to beat us. I have like 6+ buddy reads I need to do and that will add to our score.
YAY!!! Good job everyone! :) :) Krystal- You're CRUSHING it! I love it!! You make me want to work harder :) Thanks!! I am working on buddy reads right now, and then I have Queen of Shadows (with Krystal) and possibly Little Fires Everywhere (with Saar). I should have one of them done tomorrow, I'm just really bad about getting my reviews written :)
Have a great week everyone!
Mod
@Kattie the Crooked Kingdom is awesome! Though I enjoyed the first book as well this is really fantastic.I think I might just do the shadow and Bone series rather then a buddy read, because I'm getting stressed when I have to update and I'm not on the same pace as my buddy.
Just finished my long BR. Have to write a review, but still not sure how I feel about the book yet
We are down 40 points. I still have a ton of BRs going on and I know I'll be posting up one today. Will try to get as many done this weekend.
great! I'll probably be finishing Tunderhead tomorrow which should gather as 20 points I think. Sorry I'm a slow reader with school going on and all :( :D
I have Thunderhead as well that I'll be getting to this weekend. And you're good, no rush.
Hello team!!! Happy weekend!!!
I’m doing 3 buddy reads right now (2 on the longer side) so I’m hoping that will get us some points by next week!! I have a 4 hour car ride tonight and again on Sunday, so I’ll get some good reading in!! I’m enjoying my book, so that helps too :) :)
Have a great weekend everyone!!
I think I won't be able to do any more BR's, but I hope I will be able to finish the Shadow and Bone series (
)If someone's down to a BR on one of the books or the whole series that will be nice.

Shoot, I would but it says there is a 7 week hold for the first book :(

I actually managed to find a BR for this after posting one more time. There's also a BR going on for another series (
) set in the same world, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do both. That will leave me with 4.75 books for 10 days which is doable but stressed and I also have a school trip... I might join but not finish the whole series.
Mod
If you haven't read the shadow and bone series I highly recommend to read that before king of scars because king of scars has characters from shadow and bone and six of crows and those take place before king of scars

Krystal- Will you be continuing the Throne of Glass series? And if so, would it be next month or November? Just starting to prepare my book list for next month :) :) I know you read a lot of books, so if it doesn't fit into your schedule next month, just let me know, and I'll wait for you if you'll be continuing on!! :) :) I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Yes, def want to continue! And yes, we can do the next book in October, that’s totally fine.
@Krystal- What date would work best for you for the next Throne of Glass book? I should have Queen of Shadows finished by Friday and Little Fires Everywhere by Saturday!
Katie wrote: "@Krystal- What date would work best for you for the next Throne of Glass book? I should have Queen of Shadows finished by Friday and Little Fires Everywhere by Saturday!"My hold states two weeks from today, so maybe second week in October?
Hoping to finish up one more buddy read for the month!
Mod
I'm halfway through
and I want to finish the whole series till the end of the month (which means both it and
)
Mod
Awesome job everyone! I hope September was a good month for you! I’ll finished up my last buddy read today, and see if I can find another short book for the weekend.Krystal- how was that series of short stories you read? Any good?
Hey all, great job! I have 4 buddy Reads to post this weekend. Some of them were amazing! Two were really good. A few were not great but I would recommend everyone to read them.
Hello team!! I posted my last Buddy Read for the month!! I'm not sure I can get to another one and still write up the review in time, so this might be my last book. :) :) I enjoyed reading with all of you!!!!! :) :)
Aaron, I see you're on my team next month but haven't checked in yet...let me know if you need the link!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!
hey team! Is anyone else planning to post anymore BR's by the end of the month?

@Krytsal- Hope your school year is off to a good start!! You're getting so many books read :):) I can't remember, but are you reading Ignite Me this month? I think that's my next buddy read. Looking forward to doing some more buddy reads with you!!!
