I posted two reviews today :D

[Maddie]

Great work! I'm finishing Cress today after work which will be good points!

[Maddie]

Nice scores are up to date, but Naughty isn't yet, although I think we should still be in the lead. I've gotta head to work now, back in 9hr!

[Jill]

I DNFd The Last Widow but I started something else and should be done soon. Unfortunately not a series read

[Evelyn]

Wow Evelyn, that's a ton of snow! We get a lot of snow in Utah, we're known for good skiing, but no snow in my city yet

I’m posting a 400 pg book after breakfast. I need to do the review first. I was way too tired last night after updating to write a review. Went to bed a little after 1:00. My husband works 3:00-11:30 so his getting home at 11:45 doesn’t help. Even if I go to bed before he gets home I wake up. And if I fall asleep on couch I usually get my second wind when he gets home. My sleep schedule is awful!

TMI? Lol Sorry! I’m such an open book!! Pun intended. 😂

I hate when I fall asleep on the couch. Kills my whole night. The other day I fell asleep after my commute home and woke up at 1am -_-

[Vicki]

Lol I feel ya!

[Maddie]

I'm glad I'm never tired enough to sleep with I'm not in bed XD

I made a good effort to finish Cress this morning! All finished! So that'll be a good lot of points. Naughty's definitely catching up!

[Maddie]

Yay guys just gained 60 points in the last few minutes :D Great work!

[Maddie]

We're 90 points ahead now. I'm hoping to finish Wicked King tonight! And tomorrow I'm moving, so not getting much reading done there, and Sunday I'll be preparing for an interview Monday and organising my room and putting my stuff away and going on a date. And then I'll be getting into QoN

[— Massiel]

I think I will post 3 books by Sunday.

Also, if anyone wants to buddy read and series let me know, I'm reading the whole series.

[Vicki]

When does this challenge end?

[— Massiel]

@Vicki: December 31st

[Vicki]

Thanks, Circe.

[Maddie]

@Circe: I'm about to start HP3, and I'm sure the thread for HP2 is still active!

[Maddie]

Naughty's just dumped more books, and I have no time to do scores now, I'm too busy, but it'll be close again!

[Claire]

I'm having a really good reading month! My original plan was 9 books a month but if I'm really diligent I might be able to do 11-12 for Nov, there were so many new releases that I was super excited about this month, so I flew through them really quickly :D

[Maddie]

Amazing! I'm having an average month like I kind of expected, but that's totally okay with me! I won't get much reading done at all tomorrow either because of my move, and it's all so exciting!

[Claire]

I hope that the moving process goes smoothly! :D

[Maddie]

Oh it will, I'm not worried, just easy!

[Jill]

50% into Ask Again Yes
17% into The Lost Girls of Paris

I've read only 3 books so far, which is super low for me normally, but I pledged 5-6 per month cus I knew this would happen with my baby shower and the holidays. Plan on finishing these two and then maybe one or 2 more. One being a series read :)

[Katie]

Can someone help me answer this...

Even though this is a two month challenge, is it like other months where if we don't finish a book by the end of the month, only pages will count in December? Or is this month end different since it's a two month challenge?

I wanted to join some of the buddy reads around the 25th, but I'm worried I won't finish them by December with all the other books I will be in the middle of, so it might be in my best interest to wait and see if the threads are still active when I can get to them in December so I can full points for them.

Just curious if anyone knows...Thanks in advance!!

Yes it was the first weekend of the month. I was also hosting out of towners so it was busy :P

I was wondering this same thing..

[Aly]

Katie, I'm pretty sure that since it's a 2 month challenge, books started in November but finished in December will still count for full points.

[Katie]

^^ Thanks Aly!! This is perfect!! Now I can start even more books! HAHAHA!

[Rachael]

I'm going to read starting today if anyone cares to join?

[— Massiel]

@Maddie: I'll try to catch up!

[Jaye]

You guys really counted queen of nothing chapter headers as illustrations? They are just a few branches, the same thing on each chapter and don't even take up a quarter of the page?

[Meaghan]

wait chapter headings count as illustrations now?

[Maddie]

I just saw that we're not counting the total number of pages for QoN and that's unbelievable! Actually insane!

Also this is a thing:

Naughty___|_295___|_777___|__2147____|1160___|__4085
Nice______|_277___|_848___|__2096____|_866___|__3830

We gotta pull back ahead!

[Claire]

Wow that sucks, first Wayward Son and now QoN :(

[Maddie]

Yeah it's really frustrating! Why does GR have to add illustrators for nothing!

[Jill]

That happened to me for a diff challenge. Totally sucks!!

[Maddie]

Oh well it is what it is!

We're around 240 points behind. I'm planning a 24hr readathon for probably day after tomorrow because I have to get so much reading done! We can still pull ahead, we're almost halfway through the challenge, but we do need to pull back ahead!

[Claire]

I'm hoping to maybe squeeze in a 12th book this month but no guarantees.

I am absolutely loving this challenge though, I have a terrible habit of starting series and then never finishing them, I've completed more series in the past 2 weeks than I had in in the previous 1.5 years 😂

[Maddie]

@Nari: Who are you planning on reading that with?

@Claire: I keep thinking that's the plan for this challenge, but I still keep starting new series XD

[Jill]

I have a review to post

[Maddie]

Sounds good! Book's just posted two more 400pg BRs. So we're back at the start

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I might be posting two more... 😁

[Maddie]

Ohkay :/

[Jill]

I just posted my review. I'm reading a series book now thats also a BR. I plan on finishing it tomorrow

[Maddie]

Sounds good!

[Maddie]

Thanks Nari!

[Maddie]

Alriiiight, tomorrow I'll finish up Wicked King! Got around 140 pages left, will get some more read tonight I believe. Not got any plans apart from cleaning my room some more, and my family is out, so hopefully I get productive!

I've also decided to plan my 24hr readathon for Thursday. Ideally would be Wednesday but I've got another job interview then.

[Claire]

Best of luck at the job interview!

[Maddie]

Thanks Claire! It's my second one with them and I'm not sure how much I really want it, as it's a very formal office environment and I don't think I'd go well there, but we'll see what's happening with the other jobs I've applied for.

[Maddie]

They just gained another 100 points from Andrea's 5 points. I'm planning on finishing Wicked King today for sure, and getting into QoN.
