I was planning to read 'The hate u give' but I got pretty stuck at the beginning so I don't think I'll be able to continue reading it anytime soon.

Don't worry about me not hitting the minimum book limit. I usually read about 9 books per month while in school. The summer months I read more.
Yeah you and Adriana are fellow pros at this :)
Up to 12% of Six of Crows.I like to post the percentage I'm on for the current book I'm reading. It's annoying, I know, but it makes me feel better.
Finished Concealed. Will finish Br comments and review it tomorrow (well later today since it’s after midnight). Need sleep first.
17% through Six of Crows. Today's goal: to get to 40-45%.
Good going guys all we need is 2A's and we have our first tagline. I will have the second E done in about 30 mins.
My first book is going meh but I'll finish it over the weekend. I want to love my first book so I'm moving on to 10 Blind Dates. I'll have it finished by tomorrow. I'm off for three days so that means I can easily read a book a day.
I hate it when you don't enjoy a book. I have just finished a mystery series and I didn't enjoy the last 3 books but as I started the series my OCD with books meant that I had to finish it. Enjoy your 3 days off.
I can get one A done today, I'm going too slow at Crooked Kingdom since it is in english so I'm also reading miss peregrine's #1 in portuguese.

Luisa wrote: "I can get one A done today, I'm going too slow at Crooked Kingdom since it is in english so I'm also reading miss peregrine's #1 in portuguese."Cool thanks to Sarah finding a higher page count on one of my books I have to read a short one which will give us another A tonight.
So that should be board 1 done.
Mummy, I finished Concealed. I can read the next book but not sure when. Bit packed with other books to read (BRs here, BRs for COYER, plus a few PICK IT challenge books). So give me a week a so if that is okay and see how much I can get done. I can probably squeeze it in this month since it is short but if I fall behind it might have to be next month. Honestly I have a feeling all 3 books could have been 1 at a better length and speed with just a bit of editing and trimming...

Perfect, both of you. Especially since that book is taking me a bit longer.
Okay, I am starting the Saga series tomorrow, but it is a BR and we think we will be doing a volume about every 5-7 days (pending all our other book reading) and I need 4 volumes to claim a letter. So I won't be adding it to the SS boards right away, but in case anyone was wondering why I will have in marked as In Progress.

My next 3 books will be buddy reads so extra points. I'm trying hard not to add all my books just doing the next few days worth just in case something changes.
Tidied up the SS to reflect the review thread. Everyone is still using the same letters but just different boards/slots.
I am so happy our first Happy New Year is almost finished already!!!
Luisa you are an amazing reader! Wow! We have 2 power readers this month with you and Mummy!!

Review for Miss Peregrine's #1 up! We finished our first 'Happy new Year'!
I feel bad because I haven't contributed anything. I promise I'm reading. It's just going slower since I'm on break, and my sisters are distracting me. On Monday, I go back to school, so more reading should be happening, then. Good job, guys, though. We're demolishing the other teams! 30% through Six of Crows.

I am 34% done with
. And almost 1/2 through the first vol of Saga (can't post until I read 4 vols though and the last BR for that is the 19th). I'll be starting
either tonight or tomorrow.
I'm on 62% of
and 11% on
, I was planing to finish throne of glass first but there were less pages to finish Crooked Kingdom so I'm focusing on that, I expect to finish it today and go through as much as I can of Throne of Glass. Both of them are BR's so we'll get a lot of points. After those I'm way ahead of schedule and my next BR it's only in the 7th so I have no idea what to read, probably gonna end up invading some on going BRs.
I have read 2 books today but will do all the posts tomorrow I've run out of time tonight.
Finished my first book of the year! I'm 29% of the way through in Somewhere Only We Know but I think I'll finish it later in the week. I think I'll start Serpent & Dove next or a short read.
If my buddy doesn't show up do I still get the points? I've been posting my updates on the BR chat.
41% through Six of Crows. I'm feeling a lot of promise for reading a lot today, so we'll see. If nobody ever posts on the thread for your BR, but it was a planned BR, you still get the points.

Yes you still get BR points.
Mummy, you are like a rockstar. How do you read so fast?
I have no idea because I'm boring and don't have much to do. I'll slow down tomorrow as I'm back to work so I'll drop down to 1 book a day.
Dam my sister came round and I lost a few hours reading time now I wont finish my book today lol.
You aren't boring! And it's okay to take some time off too. Hope you had a good visit with your sister. :)
I missed some reading opportunity myself last night. We got handed free tickets to a hockey game. Hoping to get some good time in today and tomorrow though. Although I have some major cleaning to do too. Between work and being sick most of Dec my house looks like crap. But now that I am over the Flu I want to throw on some good tunes and get things done this week.
@Jamie- I'm glad you feel better! @Mummy-You're not boring, and I hope you had a good visit with your sister.
61% through Six of Crows. I think I'm going try to pull through and finish. I do go back to school tomorrow, though, I only have to classes to go to this week, and if I don't have a lot of homework, major reading time. I also start track practice tomorrow, too. Track shouldn't interfere with my reading this month. Once I'm done with Six of Crows, I'll start Crooked Kingdom, which is a BR.
I did enjoy meeting up with my sister. We don't get to do it often anymore. I went back to work today and it kicked my butt. I work in a special needs school but our class has changed we have new staff and children so it was very busy today trying to learn the new routines. I did mange to finish
. I'm reading
next but it's quite a big book so it might actually take me 3 nights to read but it'll get us 36 points so worth it.
I finished Six of Crows. I need to know what happens! Oh my goodness, that book was good. Will post tomorrow. Im starting Crooked Kingdom, which is a buddy read.
Question: what letter do I post for? I thought I was E, but it's already been used twice for the second time.
Adding Crooked Kingdom for Y. Since Sarah said we can use the Y in by... :)
Hey guys, we only need 1 P and 2 Y more and we'll finish Happy New Year again.
Posted my first review! I'm working on Crooked Kingdom now.
OMG I hate that I'm almost finished this book. It's taken me forever....by my standards but I didn't enjoy it. My OCD is making me finish it but it's dragging. I will finish it tonight as I can't face another night reading it.
Does anybody have any YA ARCs they'd like to buddy read? Because I have about 10 ARCs I need to read rn.
Finished my second book! Not having good luck with my reads. DNF'd a book the other day.
Sorry I have been a bit slow everyone. Had a project come up that took a couple of my days. Now back to my (hopefully) normal reading.
