Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Well that's me up to date. I didn't realise I had so many to post. I'm catching back up Aly lol. I think you have me beat again this month. Never mind I'll try again next month lol. We are gradually pulling away again guys. I'm running out of buddy reads but it's okay I have plenty of books to read and hopefully some of my buddies will be able to read more in the series we are reading this month.

I've got another 5P book going up in a few hours, and then I also plan to whizz through another 1P book tonight.


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Great job Maddie. I have 3 more buddies then I think we will have enough P's so I'll work on books hat spell April out right, until we get to the point that a letter is behind again.

Perfect :D I reckon we're safely in the lead, least for a while. I go back to work tomorrow, and then are hopefully able to go back into the office from Thursday, and the weekend I'm spending with my bf if this lockdown is lifted, so we'll see what else I get read


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Yeah I'm back to work next week but the lock-down is still in place until May 7th at the moment. It's just a weird time for everyone at the moment. I thought that I would have read more but I'm getting distracted by Netflix and computer games with my son lol.

I'm just frustrated with working from home, it's so hard. And I'm still learning, so we'll see what happens

min sung ellie (minsungellie) | 166 comments What letters do we need? I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky .

also im working on a 500 page book with my buddy read!

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
If you go to the review thread you can see which letters we need. Mostly still Ps. Just try and claim whatever letters are the lowest in number from the review thread


message 259: by Tayane (new)

Tayane Cristie (taycristie) I don't know how much longer my quarentine will last, so I'm reading as much as I can until they decide to open my uni again (I'm not having online classes), but I must say Netflix, youtube and the sims are also on my way HAHAHA I have a 3 P's book on the way, even though we're catching up with them, it's good to keep reading books with them as they're not as easy as the other letters.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
Yeahp, there's a team though that's got too many Ps and is needing Ls now. I reckon we will be fine though :D

I just finished my 5P book, so I'm going to exercise and shower and then update for that. Then I'll get stuck into my next book. The book I thought I'd read is too short, only 192 pages, and I don't have a novella to add to it which is a shame

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
Actually I'll update for it now, why not

Saige (lannister807) Good job team!


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments I have been sorting out my kindle books and now I don't know what to read. There are so many I want to read and I can't chose lol. I hate it when I'm in this mood.

What makes you choose a book? Is it author? continue a good series? Cover?

Ill admit I go on covers mainly. If it pretty I want to read it lol.


message 271: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments For me it's cover, title and genre first. Then I read the synopsis of the books I've chosen, and pick one to read. But that's if I don't have anything to read, which I always do. New releases from authors, books for a reading challenge, or continuing a series. I also make a lot of reading lists so that helps. Oh and, sometimes, when I really like an author, I decide to read every book they've ever written which, in some cases, is a lot of books.


message 272: by Saige (new)

Saige (lannister807) Usually, I go by the back of the book. I pick one that sounds like it fits with my mood for the day, because some stories just don't fit certain days. And I'll be honest, I look at covers, too. A cool cover with thought put into the layout and everything tends to, for me, signify a better book.

Oh definitely cover. But it makes me mad how most authors don't have a say in the cover, so I never know if the cover signifies the books. I just base reading off cover.

I get like that too MNC! Especially if I'm picking a TBR for a readathon.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
We are being caught team! I'll have Acowar done today which is max points.

I'm also doing Dewey's 24hr readathon this weekend which I'll aim for lots of short quick books for those points.

Saige (lannister807) I love how close it is! I'll have one done tomorrow


message 276: by Tayane (new)

Tayane Cristie (taycristie) I didn't read much yesterday, so I'm reading as much as I can today. I still have kind of 100 pages left, I'll try to finish it tonight.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
Sounds good! I reckon we can definitely keep up to date, it's just tough because we're on top of the letters again

Good catchup we just did, gained another 100 points or so. Nice work!


message 279: by Katie (new)

Katie | 3379 comments Hi guys!

I posted one of my audio book review, and I'll finish up the Martian tomorrow!

I was wondering if anyone wanted to buddy read one of these: (all of these have an edition with 1 or more P's)

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

If not, no worries!! I can hop onto the Aurora Rising buddy read, but I was trying to get more P's :)

And I could start as early as tomorrow if that helps?? Hope everyone is doing well!

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments None of those are available soon at my library :(

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
Gotta pick up the gaaaame team :D I've got a 4 day weekend from tomorrow evening, so I plan on doing my fair share of reading, but then it's back to work from the 28th. So I'll be slow at the end of the month.

We are catching up!

Jammin Jenny, please make sure to post the maximum 5 letters per book. Letters can be taken from title or author's name or series, so please never claim less than the 5 letters. I have claimed those extra letters for you this time around, but we really do need all the points we can get.

Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments Sorry guys work really kicked my butt. i work in a special needs school and being one to one all day is really draining especially when we aren't teaching but just playing. I'm slowly catching up. got about 5 books to post tomorrow hopefully. I reckon this challenge will be all over the place until the final moments.


message 295: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53683 comments Mod
Awesome MNC! We are back in the lead for now, it's very leapfrog!

I'm planning on finishing Acowar today finally, and then during Dewey's I'll get through Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows and Empire of Storms. Might read fluffy stuff in between if I can, not too sure what the whole plan is.

Finishing Acowar now. Points have spread out again, but we got this! I'm doing Dewey's starting in 13 hours, and I plan to read Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms and also hopefully another book depending on how those ones go.
