Jill | 3313 comments Checking in. Been so MIA on GR lately.
I think I mentioned it on the tug of war thread that my hedgehog was sick. Sadly he passed away on Monday and I’ve been super sad and not reading😞
I’m taking it day by day and I started my mat leave so I will have more time
I’ll link my TBR tomorrow and see if anyone can join
Also to throw a monkey wrench into the month, I’m due with the baby mid Jan, so I hope to get my 8 book minimum done by then
Can’t wait to read with all of you again!!

Great news, you're all checked in ☺


message 59: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) | 692 comments I'm confused. Are we reading OOUIL or not?? It seems like an interesting book and I'd be happy to read it as a BR.

Also, I can read Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell :)


message 60: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16160 comments I can do it if I can get a copy. Right now they are all on hold.

Also I just got the okay to start over The Toll (Arc of a Scythe, #3) by Neal Shusterman so I will be adding that to my TBR.

I've created a thread for 10th Jan so you can start as early as 3rd Jan, or as late as 24th Jan.

Links to the threads of the books Maddie and I are reading:

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) | 692 comments Thanks!!

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53773 comments Mod
Thanks!

I'm planning on reading One Of Us Is Next, but I think Courtney's going to try and re-read One Of Us Is Lying if she can fit it in :)

I think E's are tough as well. I'm going to have a lot of books finished that I've started already, so won't be getting as many bonus letters. I'm trying to get through these. I've started them all, and by the end of Jan (if possible) I want to have as many of these done as I can. I want a new slate in 2020, so I can just start new books and not feel bad! Open for BRs!
A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) by Richelle Mead Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K. Rowling The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #2) by Patrick Rothfuss The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, #2) by Brandon Sanderson The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer Again, but Better by Christine Riccio

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) | 692 comments I happen to have five books for E as they are by the same author

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53773 comments Mod
Oh that's good! I'm so excited to finish up some books! It's going to be so freeing <3


message 73: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) | 692 comments I’m pretty sure it’s any order


message 74: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53773 comments Mod
Nope, you can read them in any order :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53773 comments Mod
Hi Isabella, you'll need to post on the main thread chat to ask if you can join. Unfortunately you won't be able to join a medium team right now I don't believe, as the teams were already made a few days ago. Post here saying that you'd like to join, and what category you'd like to be (make sure to read the rules as well please)

Courtney | 16160 comments I think I am going to start with Runaways, Vol. 1 Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell for Physical and One of Us Is Lying (One of Us is Lying, #1) by Karen M. McManus for my audio. What about everyone else?


message 80: by Milly (new)

Milly (purpleglitterypinecone) | 692 comments This is actually really good timing as my OOUIL is due to come in the post in around ten minutes. We are doing it as a buddy read if you would like to join, we can double our points.

Abby | 5404 comments Does everyone have New Year's Eve plans? I'm not a party person, so I'm just going to see Jumanji with a friend then curl up with a glass of wine and a book.

Surprised you couldn't find Call Down The Hawk and The Toll! I think I saw the Toll as a BR at the moment actually (someone posted it in their review post :p), maybe you can jump in!

Courtney | 16160 comments I thought that one expired. I will check.

Courtney | 16160 comments Okay so The Toll is good to go, and 3 people reached out for others so I should be good :)


message 88: by Courtney (new)

message 89: by Abby (new)

Abby | 5404 comments Just finished my current book. I'm not gonna submit it for page points, since I only had about 80 pages left. Starting the Queen of Nothing now!

The page count is 50 now so you would still get one point for it.

Jill | 3313 comments No one wants to read my books lol I did find that the HP5 one is still active tho


message 92: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 16160 comments What books do you have Jill?


message 93: by Jill (new)


message 94: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments are we allowed to use any letter in the entire title or just the first letter of the words?


message 95: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments * For this challenge, you may choose any letter from your book's title, series name, author name, and you can even use the word 'by', as in 'Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu', could be used for 'Y' (so basically any book can be used for 'Y')
* You may also choose to use a different edition of a book, with a different title in order to use a different letter, so again, for Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu, you could choose to use this edition - Fallender Himmel to count for 'H'. (Titles must be made up of English letters.)


message 96: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments - You may use any letter from your chosen book's title, series name, author name, 'by', or title of an alternate edition.
- Alternate titles must be made up of English letters, although we will accept titles with accents over words such as á, é, í, ó, ú.
- '&' may be used as 'and'.
- Numbers in titles can be used, but are spelled out, so '1001' would be 'one zero zero one', '20' would be 'two zero'.

- For this challenge you may use words which occur after punctuation in a title, including after a colon ':'
- You may also use author's names, or the names of any editors, translators, narrators or illustrators.
