I just looked at team 6 and the only reason that they have so many points is because 1 girl has read 5 books of 500 or more pages in a week :O and not everyone is very active on here (me included I'm sorry :()

I have to read Through The Looking Glass for class soon, how was it?

I didn't really like through a looking glass to be honest. But that could also be because I'm busy studying for my exams and the confusion that comes with it just was very annoying for me :(
I'm currently reading Catcher in the Rye btw :)

I hated the Catcher in the Rye...but I loved Holden.............if that makes any sense?
Haha yes it's a very weird story, you'll see!
Ooh now I'm curious about. A friend loved it so that's why u started it!

At least I'm already near 400 pages in in

i know that feeling, sometimes just watching a tv show is way more relaxing than reading! (kind of have to say that because I'm a tv/film student haha)

I have one more day of exams and then I can read more again (in between all the sleeping haha)

Whenever is good for you, is good for me .... i think. Tell me a day or two in advance.
Rachel, it's fine. I'm busy with school now so I'm moving a lot slower than I'd like.

I either went off your master list if it was updated within the past 2 days, or i added up what i could get from the comments in the tread.
So if your points are wrong, I'm sorry :[

@Joi I'll re-read something I loved to see if I can get some points :)
And I was thinking we could do more buddy reads, that helps a little bit!

finished catcher in the rye I don't really know what to think of it, it annoyed me a bit that it takes till the few last chapters to really understand what's going on, but it is very well written. It also reminded me of The Perks of Being a Wallflower in a way, which I'm reading at the moment btw :)

I was hoping to get more reading done since I have two weeks of from uni but it turns out that i don't really because it's my birthday today and I'm moving out so I have to pack everything :) I will try to get some reading done after that tho since we have till the end of February I believe ?

Wait, I got 210 points ??"
oh okay Rachel. I just got my computer charger so I have more time to sit down and count it out.

I thought I counted wrong lol, that's why I'm asking.. Because I put the number of pages the page on Goodreads says, so maybe your copy has more or less pages.
(My name isn't Rachel :P)

I've finished reading the perks of being a wallflower! I'm on mobile now so I can't really update my progress list at the moment but I might do that tomorrow. Anyway that's 20 more points for me!
