Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Hey guys :) I'm looking forward to a new challenge with you all.

Reminder to link the highest page count for each book read, regardless of the language it is written in or the edition you actually read from :D

checking in. Danni I might just jump in on some of ur BRs if that's OK.


message 6: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments cool :) I don't know exactly what i'll be reading this month, but if anyone is up for a buddy read of An Enchantment of Ravens starting in the next week or so that would be great! (I don't buy that many books as I mostly use libraries, so I'll have to give it back at some point, so preferably starting earlier rather than later)


message 7: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments @Cinthia Of course! The more the merrier :) I've signed myself for so many!!

@LJ I noticed you were reading The Lord of the Rings. I have a BR for the trilogy running throughout the month if you were planning on continuing on with the series :)


message 8: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments Oh, I'm kind of on a temporary hiatus for that one, until mid-September, and I read it in bits and pieces, so thanks so much for the offer but I don't think I can accept -- I'd be an unreliable buddy, haha.

As You Wish | 1878 comments I'm here! Trying to distract myself to get through a kitchen reno. :) Can't bake until it's done, so maybe I'll make some progress on my TBR pile from the library.

LJ I just read An Enchantment of Ravens and loved it!

Danii I'll likely jump on to the Tolkien books I own and haven't read yet. Not sure I can commit to the Hobbit & trilogy now, but September is such a great month for it being Bilbo & Frodo's birthday. ;)

I didn't even realise it was their Birthdays :) Perfect timing! Autumn always feels like Tolkien season to me lol.

Good luck with your kitchen!


message 12: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments @JBask good to know! I'm not the type of reader who enjoys romance-dominated books, so we'll see, but I have high hopes since sorcery of thorns is my new favorite book, and i love margaret rogerson's writing :)

How about these dates?

A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3.1) by Sarah J. Maas - Sept 11
Blood Casino (Vampires & Vices #1) by Nina Walker - Sept 13
Wicked Gods (Gifted Academy, #1) by Michelle Hercules - Sept 15

We can space them out however much you like. I normally read a book every day or two so if you want the dates closer together or farther apart then we can do that too.

Yep sounds good. I added two more lol. I would add more but I'm getting maxed out on buddies. I'm looking at around 25 next month.

I usually read at least a book a day. Usually around 4-6 on the weekend so that's fine by me.

Oh, okay. Good. We have similar reading patterns. =P Would Sept 12 and Sept 14 work for the other two books or do you already have some buddy reads on those days?


message 21: by Vivi (new)

Vivi | 1374 comments Hi guys, checking in.

No TBR defined for me in September. I have been through a bit of a stressful time, so I'll be "mood reading"... probably all the month.

I didn't play in the August's challenge, so I did miss this... And I'm happy to be playing again in a team ☺️

I keep telling myself to mood read but I keep planning 'just a few BRs' but not realising I've planned my whole month :)

Thank you. I'm glad to be back. I missed the excitement of reading/playing for a challenge.

Planned reading can be fun too. (I usually do it most of the times). It Definitely gives you a schedule to follow and it's exciting to see the points add up... Just don't forget to enjoy yourself... And take it easy if you need to.

I'm all ready to read my first book of September tomorrow! It's the 1st in one hour, and my work day's pretty slow, so I'll be able to get a lot of reading done.

First up's The Patient by Jasper Dewitt, a 200 pager

Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments I stayed up a bit too late to finish a book for last month so slowly getting things done lol. I'm hoping to get at least one book done today. I have 2 buddies but one is around 500 pages so not sure if I'll get that finished today. Back to work tomorrow so I won t get 60 books done this month lol.


Mummy's Naughty Corner (mummysnaughtycorner) | 6951 comments All checked in up to here. Just Storm to go and then we're complete.

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments @Maddie every point counts :D

@Mummy good luck with your return to work!

I've started my first two books of the month, but I also have another three on my 'currently reading' shelf that I'm hoping to finally complete this month.


message 41: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
I've finished it :D Time to update, next up: Survive the Night. Any takers for a BR?


message 43: by Dannii (new)

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9967 comments Day one went well. I managed to finish The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, as I found the audio from my library app and could listen to the first third whilst I worked. I also got 50% through another audio and 50% through a physical read before bed.

Hopefully I can finish both off today and carry on with my Tolkien buddy reads with The Fellowship of the Ring


message 44: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Nice Dannii!

I'm 40% into The Maidens and 18% into Survive the Night, but they're both INCREDIBLY similar so I'm hoping to finish Maidens up tomorrow and then get back into Survive, and also pick up Flat-Share


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I finished up the audiobook for Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs this morning and posted my review. Off to a good start. =)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Nice!

I'm now 47% into Maidens, but I'm watching yt while I update my GR shelves and then I'll be off to sleep.

I'm going to post my GR shelf here once it's updated and see if anyone wants to buddy anything! There's a lot of option, I know :p

I really loved The Maidens. I requested The Silent Patient from my library yesterday to read in October as I've heard good things about that too.


message 48: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53787 comments Mod
Silent Patient is so much better than Maidens so far, Maidens is nothing special apart from all of the males being DISGUSTING. Hoping to sell after I've read it, it never really was a predicted 5-star


message 49: by lj ♡ (new)

lj ♡ | 177 comments I had a ton of homework but read about 50 pages, getting pretty close to finishing one of my currently-reading books :) hopefully today'll be less busy and I can finish them both!

I'm not going to post it on the Wanted page as I'll get too many responses :p
