Karen Barber | 13280 comments Hi Team.
Looking forward to this one, and hoping to get a little more on top of my reading once things settle more at work (I'm being optimistic).
Aiming to try and up my 'adult/literary fiction' quota this year, so have also signed up to the 2021 Popsugar reading challenge. Anyone else doing it?

Jamie | 12271 comments Hi everyone.
Not doing the popsugar challenge but I am planning on doing The backlist reader challenge since I need to start focusing on my insane TBR more.
Books I plan to read from this next month can be found on this shelf if anyone wants to BR anything: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Just finished Game Changer by Neal Shusterman - I'd be interested to see what you make of it.

Katrina G | 4550 comments Karen, I think part of your reply is missing. I'd love to do a buddy read. But for which book? Lolol

Katrina, my fault for trying to do two things at once!

Yes, I noted you have Lore by Alexandra Bracken on your TBR pile. I have it from NetGalley if you fancy doing a BR.


message 15: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments Sure! When is the cut off for you with NetGalley though? I'm pretty sure I'm getting it in my owlcrate which doesn't come until closer to the end of the month(but I'm just going to buy it right away if that isn't the case), so I don't know if the dates will exactly line up for us to be able to


message 16: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments Hi Katrina, NetGalley cutoff is 10th so don’t think we’ll be able to tally the dates. Still, be keen to see what you make of it.


message 17: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments Bummer. We can just talk about it here then lol

Honestly? Nor am I! It wasn't, for me, on a par with the Arc of a Scythe trilogy and it felt like it was trying to do too much. Mixed reviews, and I can't tell how much personal circumstances impact on your reading of this one.


message 21: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments That's what I thought. I've been reading the mixed reviews and I'm a bit worried 😬

Katie | 3379 comments Hi Team! I'm doing a couple different reading challenges for 2021.

These are some of the books I need to get to for January:

In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado Deadly Dreams (Fortuna Sworn, #3) by K.J. Sutton

Books I have to read for book clubs:
The Hidden Life of Trees What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill

Books I REALLY want to get to in January:

The Final Empire (Mistborn, #1) by Brandon Sanderson The Kingdom of Copper (The Daevabad Trilogy, #2) by S.A. Chakraborty A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers, #2) by Brigid Kemmerer A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers, #3) by Brigid Kemmerer

Anyone interested in any of these?
Happy New Years everyone!

I want to do the backlist challenge too!


message 30: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Happy New Years everyone!

I finished my first book Aurora Burning (The Aurora Cycle, #2) by Amie Kaufman .

I feel like we will get our first Happy New Year in not time which is great.


message 31: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments Yeah it’s looking pretty good so far! I think the completions are gonna make a huge difference by the end of the challenge

Great job!


message 34: by Karen (new)

Karen Barber | 13280 comments BRs will help too. I’ll see what I can jump onto, but I’ve been so on and off with reading the last couple of months that I’m reluctant to set stuff up.


message 35: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments I have a BR that I’ll be starting tomorrow. I think it’s under 200 pages though so I’ll have to find another short book to pair it with to get a letter out of it


message 36: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments Took a look at the planned buddy read page and found a couple to jump into, so that will help with points


message 37: by Katrina G (new)

Katrina G | 4550 comments Aly great job with all the reviews so far today!
