elle (ellealf) Hello everyone :) Is it okay if I do the Master List? Or does anyone else want to do it?


message 7: by elle (new)

elle (ellealf) Also, what books are you planning to read?


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

I don't really know what the master list is? :D


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Well I'm planning on reading the second and third book in the maze runner trilogy. The last pretty little liars book (#16 vicious) and Alice's adventures in wonderland, and hopefully continue the mortal instruments :).
I've got a mini holiday in two weeks time so plenty of time to read:) what are you planning on reading?


message 10: by elle (new)

elle (ellealf) It's a progress list of the whole team so we can all keep track of our points :)


message 11: by elle (new)

elle (ellealf) I'm currently reading Paper Towns by John Green and The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass
I still need to see what I'm reading next :)
Maybe we can get some extra points with buddy reads, if two people want to read the same book


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah it's fine by me if you do the master list :)

I'm currently reading the maze runner but unfortunately I've started that one before New Years :(
