Same Ashley. :) I’m gonna do a book hunt with the more specific ones.
Same as Ashley when it comes to the Popsugar Challenge. Last year I was super excited about it whereas this year I'm kinda meh about it, so I haven't 'officially' filled any of the prompts yet. I'll add my read books soon though (hopefully lol)
I actually like some of the prompts, but it'll take me ages to pick books that interest me x)
Do we need any more books for February? I’m at work on my phone so can’t check - sorry. I can finish one more today if needed although I can’t post until around 6pm PST
No, as I stated above, we are done with our February cards :) all we have to do is wait for March to officially begin
Ugh I just SERIOUSLY had to stop myself from finishing One Of Us Is Next already!! I have about 45 mins left ahhhhhh
But you just HAVE to know what's gonna happen lol. :)

awesome start to the month, everyone! :) I finished One of Us Is Next earlier today as well and then saw that my hold on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came through so I started listening to that right after OOUIN instead of Catching Fire like I had originally planned 😅 I guess I'll listen to the HP series on a yearly basis now lol. Anyway, all three of the books mentioned work for our red cards /WD4 :D

There's a spreadsheet where we can follow ranks and points from our and other teams. I think we came in 7th in February, but I'm not sure if all the teams were done updating their spreadsheets when I checked.
I tried to listen to my audio book at the gym, but I literally remember nothing of that hour and a half I've listened to xD
@daniela hahah me with Sister Outsider last month x)

this is a little confusing to me. Is that an O or a 0 (Zero) at the beginning? We can't use it for both 0 and 1, as we are only allowed to ignore articles

I've come to realize that for me anyway YA books are fairly easy to listen to on audio, and books you've already read before. I can absolutely recommend HP read by Stephen Fry ;)

I was confused as well, but google is your friend. O is an article in Portuguese ;) (plus, it's a standalone book, so works for 0 that way anyway)

Yep, that's right. O is the equivalent to 'the' in English

In the middle of Stalking Jack the Ripper and it's kinda creepy but also kinda awesome- hopefully I can finish it within the next few days!
Hey everyone, sorry I haven't checked in much lately - I'm in a reading slump *insert eye roll* not even listening to Harry Potter helps, my mind just keeps drifting off and I end up thinking about everything but books...

Follow up: This definitely looks way more blue on my computer than it does on my phone! I would definitely say blue looking at it here. Even though it has already been approved as blue... I just wanted to update because I felt crazy.
