Hi Ashley!

[Tawallah]

Welcome Ashley

[Neha]

hey June! I started poppy war on the BR date and posted in the thread but it's quite brutal for my current mood so I might not finish it before the end of the month :(( You should still be able to get the BR points for it though and I'd be happy to read your comments on the book since I don't really mind spoilers!

[Neha]

I just finished book 3 in the Discworld series and will finish book 6 in the Jeeves series soon. Will post reviews in a couple days :D
Edit: Posted reviews for two books!

[Katie]

@Heather-Here is the link for

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

It starts on the 21st :)

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Hey team, I'd been sick for some time, and was also busy with exams (at the same time unfortunately) but now I'm slightly better, and will start on the books for this month! I might not be able to read more than 10 however, antibiotics are awful :/

[Taran]

Hope you feel better!

[Taran]

Does anyone want to BR with me for ?

[Heather]

Hey guys! I just finished Two Dark Reigns and have made my comments on the thread just waiting for my buddy before I post that review so we get the points

[Aly]

Yay!

[Heather]

Aly wrote: "Yay!"

I'm going to be pushing books out like crazy the next week before I start work

[Connie]

My laptop finally arrived so I'm about to drop some reviews :)

[Connie]

I have another four to post, I'll get them up tomorrow some time :) it's late here

[Tiera]

Ok I'm back in business! I completely fried the motherboard on my phone and lost everything, especially since apparently my phone was older and stopped updating to icloud about.. oh IDK 5 updates or so ago. I'm finally getting all my books and passwords and apps back together. It also seems that when I read on the Ipad it doesn't flag anything as currently reading so I'm wracking my brain now trying to find all the things I've read so far this month. Do you guys know if by chance there is a list in amazon that allows you to see all the books you have "downloaded" off KU this month?

If you go into titles they will say returned from the most recent

Oh no Tiera that's awful. 2020 is not going easy on anyone. But yeah you can see all your past KU checkouts (even since you signed up) through the website which is very nice. Glad you're back in business and hopefully now at least more updated for awhile :P

[Aly]

Sad Tiera! I know you read a ton so that really sucks. I hope you can get everything sorted out

[Connie]

Does anyone feel bad about giving a book a bad review when they've interacted with the author before? I do hahaha

[Aly]

Connie wrote: "Does anyone feel bad about giving a book a bad review when they've interacted with the author before? I do hahaha"

Yes! Especially if they send me the book and I don't like it

[Connie]

Aly wrote: "Connie wrote: "Does anyone feel bad about giving a book a bad review when they've interacted with the author before? I do hahaha"

I just reviewed one and I went to look and Im the only person out of all the people who've reviewed the book who has given it less than 4 stars

[Connie]

I also have a lot of books that aren't in series so if anyone needs more pages to get bonus points, don't hesitate to combine them with the stand alones to bump the points :)

[Connie]

I feel bad bc a lot of the series I need to read are shorter books, so I'm gonna jump in on a couple of buddy reads before going back to my actual planned reading.

[Stormy]

How is everyone

I'm good I'm trying to clear my galleys and eARCs before the end of the year so I can start next year with a fresh slate but I also don't want to be away from reading series for too long. I'm gonna try and finish a couple of series books this weekend and then go back to galleys during the week! We have a lockdown commensing on the 27th so I should be more free once that starts.

What about you? How are you>

[Saar The Book owl]

Starting this afternoon I'm 5 days off from work, so I'll be reading a lot between household and other things :) Mostly finishing current reads from the month before and this month.

[Aly]

Connie, that's a great goal! I won't have mine cleared out but you've inspired me to get as many read as I can.

In the U.S. we have Thanksgiving next week so I'm looking forward to 4 days off for that and a lot of reading time.

I have about 12 books on mine at the minute after working to reduce it for weeks now hahaha so I'm hoping by Christmas to have them cleared!

Katie,

If you end up reading Nyxia and want to continue to #2, I can read with you in December. I've been wanting to finish the series.

I have 30 but it would be nice to get at least half done

[Stormy]

So I was just going through my TBR list and and from 250 I dropped it to 187

[Aly]

That's great!

[Stormy]

Aly wrote: "That's great!"

Thanks next year I am going to try and get through or lot of them

[Stormy]

How does everyone pick their next book I've just made a spinner what will pick my books

[Heather]

Natalie wrote: "How does everyone pick their next book I've just made a spinner what will pick my books"

If I have library books I pick the next one due and if not I put them in a random number generator and look at my list of books I own

[Connie]

I'm gonna be reading some shorter books tonight to hopefully stack up into some good bonus points :) the other team is still just under 500 points behind but we all know how quickly that can change!

[Connie]

I think that's me done for the evening :) I'm gonna aim to have four-six of the small SVH books read tomorrow which I know doesn't make a lot of points but every point counts :D

I finished my Stephen King book. I'll be starting the last book in the trilogy tomorrow as well. I'm not sure how much time I have tomorrow but hopefully I can cram in as much as possible while I'm off work.

I'll try and get to Nyxia this month!! :)

[Katie]

I'm such a mood reader lately, and these are some of the ones that are jumping out on my list for December...anyone interested in any of these?




I'm also going to try to get to in a few days if anyone is interested in that one?

[Krystal]

Hey guys, I just started a new job at a new school so I’m having to put reading on the back burner for a little while until I get settled in.

Ohhh!! Good luck with the new teaching job, Krystal!

[Katie]

I also have some winter reads that would be great if I could get to one of them:

[Stormy]

About to start this if anybody wants to read it with me

[Ashley W]

I have an audio of Hunter that I should finish tonight and hopefully one of my Buddy Reads. I have too many going at once and can't get through any of them very fast.

[Stormy]

Just finished my Sister's Keeper really good book

[Connie]

I'm so bad at doing BR bc I just like to finish my own TBR hahaha I always forget to compare them w/ other people, I'm also bad at schedules hahaha

Thank you! Not sure what I was thinking starting a new school in the middle of a pandemic, LOL.

[Connie]

I’m going back to reading a galley, then reading a series book, just because I still wanna get them cleared on the ASAP Rocky side of things. Is that cool with everyone else for the next week?

Hopefully by December I’ll be reading solely series books!

[Stormy]
