Week 2 is over! Starting next week, I'll be trying to do a mid-week points check in, particularly as your points start to climb and the reading becomes fast and furious.
Keep it up—you are all doing great!

It is a book I have on my TBR but I have no plans to read it this month. It's still too early for me to plan buddy reads for next month but if you wanted to check back in closer to July I might be able to buddy read it. Just depends on how I finish out this month though.

Review: My Review
@Brianna Raquel I just realized that I never announced in the buddy reads thread that we were planning on reading Jackpot together at the end of the month. In my original post I said June 26th to June 31st, but I'm a dummy and June 31st doesn't exist so is pushing it back to June 30th fine? And if June 26th to the 30th does work will this schedule be fine?June 26th: Chapters 1 to 10
June 27th: Chapters 11 to 18
June 28th: Chapters 19 to 25
June 29th: Chapters 26 to 32
June 30th: Chapters 33 to 36
I've edited the spreadsheet because someone put me down for The Kingdoms twice. I already had it on there at the very top as it was the first book I started this challenge with, it just took me forever to read lol. Just letting you know in case you were wondering what happened to the entry!

HI Laura, I wasn't sure if I could update. Thank you for your work. So I will help out by doing both completed spreadsheet and completion posts.
