Ok :)

Jennifer | 248 comments I guess I'll get started on Fangirl and push myself to read the other two that I started and haven't finished. You guys will have to teach me how to post for these since I've never done it.

If you look above the comment box it says add book/author you click on it type in the book and at the bottom of that window click on cover.You don't have to do both you can just read fangirl the other option is for those that are done. This challenge is just to get people on track and to help people get involved.


message 6: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 248 comments I know how to add the book cover I just meant how you're supposed to update and when. I'll probably finish Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell . Then I could just start on one of the others right?


message 7: by Katelyn (new)

Katelyn Broad (katelynb) | 717 comments Mod
I say update when you feel like it-post a funny quote or how you're feeling about a certain part. You all know how to use spoilers on this site, right?
Also, after you finish, feel free to start another one. :) There are no hard-and-fast rules, just have fun and read with us!

I finished The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3) by Michelle Hodkin and it was awesome! A great ending to a great series. Now I need to start something new...Probably UnSouled (Unwind, #3) by Neal Shusterman .


message 10: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 248 comments I read Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell ! It might be the most I've read nearly straight through. Picked it up and read some that night, slept and read all day yesterday into the wee hours of this morning to finish. I really liked it. I'm gonna have a snack and figure out if I want to read something I've already started or something new from my ever-expanding to-read list...

I really loved Unwind (Unwind, #1) by Neal Shusterman ! I waited a while to try and start UnWholly (Unwind, #2) by Neal Shusterman though and when I picked it up I got sort of lost and confused so I didn't get very far. I should try again.
I purchased The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin but haven't picked it up yet.
Glad to hear it's good and will probably pick it up soon.

That is really helpful! You'll have to tell us how [bookcover:UnSouled|12792658] is...

Jennifer | 248 comments I'm continuing Drunk Tank Pink And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave by Adam Alter . So far it is fascinating. I've even recommended it to my sister who is studying psychology as her major at Gonzaga.

Sarah | 579 comments Mod

message 17: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 579 comments Mod
But maybe i do and just don't know it :)


message 18: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 248 comments Well I've finished Drunk Tank Pink And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave by Adam Alter and loved it. Just so interesting to read the very many things that can affect us day to day without even realizing it.

Jennifer | 248 comments Finally finished Leaves of Grass and Selected Poems and Prose by Walt Whitman ! Took forever becuase I don't think poetry is my thing. At least not right now. Just picked up Ensnared today from the library. It finally came in from being on hold.

I'm working on Fragments (Partials, #2) by Dan Wells and Hold Me Closer The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan


message 30: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 248 comments I think I'll try to get through The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty . Had to take Grim by Christine Johnson back before I could get to it. And The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black is due in a few days but I never even cracked the cover.


message 31: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 248 comments I think I'll also try Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman again (even though I've already checked it out twice before and haven't read it) and I'm also getting the audio book so maybe that will help me get into it.

I completely understand Jennifer! It's easy to read when you don't have those things but the urge to read will come back at some point. :)
