October 2019 Reading Challenge

[Jamie]

Alright scores on the MOD SS are up, Aly once you let us know where you are at for new series you've added this month we can calculate it and post. Lucky for us all the penalty is less. :)

[Aly]

Jamie, I've read The Testing like 3 times and the sequel once but I can't ever get to the last book. I'm going to try to finish it!

Just don't bother with the prequel lol. Unless you can read it free.

I DID move Zahn's newer Thrawn trilogy to a separate post, so I now claim the +10 series completion bonus for finishing:


Running total now at -11 since I added the NEW Thrawn trilogy due out next year. Can you tell I love Thrawn? Because I do.

I still need to read the Thrawn novels.
Well, the newer ones I should say. I read the original Trilogy a LONG time ago.

Not sure how page points work with children's books. 160 pages
Read 10/22

[Sans]

Jamie, the first and third books in the newest trilogy are AMAZING. The second book was good too, but it was my least fave overall. When you do read it, I hope you adore Eli as much as I do. XD

[Sans]

Aly, the genre doesn't matter, you still get the page points (one in the case of Pippi as it is shorter than 200 pages). Thanks for updating your reads here!

I keep meaning to start my Star Wars reading back up. Starting in chronological order with the Expanded Universe and then going to the new "canon" books.

[Jamie]

No minus for sequels. Only if you add a new series (usually volume 2 but if you skipped it or started at a prequel...).

[Jamie]

Aly -9

Can we all dig ourselves out and into the positive? I think at least Aly and Sans can.
