I'm 10% into Witch's Heart and loving it so far :D I'm getting my first Covid jab today so I'm not too sure how the weekend's going to go :/ I was hoping to have a good reading one, but doesn't seem like it. We'll see

[Dannii]

Sorry, Maddie. I'm making you work hard today lol. My net is still down so I'm adding all my reviews now I'm in a coffee shop. I have two more to go :)

[Maddie]

That's alright! Hopefully enough to push us over the edge! It's okay, I've got time and they're really quick to update :D

[Maddie]

53% into Witch's Heart, get a few more pages in today before I sleep

Thank you :) I'm done now. If my net isn't back up over the weekend then I'll come back to the coffee shop on Monday and update for the weekend then :)

[Maddie]

It's so cute that you go to the coffee shop <3

Still 4 points behind Rectangle, but my book's 16 points at least, and I'll be finishing up in the morning, so should be back in the lead by tomorrow. Also plan on starting and finishing Four Winds as I've got the audio too, expecting a cry-fest for sure!

It keeps me sane to get out of the house, after working from home for so long lol.

I have two more books to post, which I'll get to in the next hour... as I'm back at a coffeeshop lol.

[Maddie]

Yeah that's true. I don't mind being home all the time haha.

I'm 32% into Ninth House, liking it so much more than I initially was and thank gosh for it, I have a signed copy and it's the only Bardugo I haven't read. I was worried I wasn't going to like it, but it's good :D It's been intimidating me for years, big pages small font, she a beast

I was worried about it too but ended up really enjoying it. I can't wait for the sequel!

Yes! Hopefully I won't need to re-read before it, but we'll see, I am reading a book every two days this rate. I'm just glad it's making more sense and everything's settling, and it's fast-paced :D Just the opposite of what I thought, everyone said it was slow and confusing!

Yeah it didn't have the best initial reviews. Maybe everyone was expecting a story more like her other books. I found it really fast-paced and thrilling too. A book every two days is an awesome reading rate too!!

My fam have all gone on holidays and, without the net, the only thing for me to do all weekend is to readddd :)

[Maddie]

How do you still not have Internet? That's wiiiild.

Yeah it is :D Lockdown means no extra-curricular. And I'm really getting back into the reading groove, although I'll regret it when I can't remember anything that happened in the books lol. I'm on my 7th book this month.

I agree, I'm loving it, so happy with the turnaround. Going to hop into bed now and read for a lil bit before bed. Night!

[lj ♡]

I'm all caught up on reviews, and finished a MG book this morning - it was really good! time to finally start Children of Blood and Bone :)

[Maddie]

Nice work!

I'm 30 pages off Ninth House, and then I'll see what I'm reading next! Hopefully Vow so Bold and Deadly, Defy the Night or White Hot Kiss!

[Dannii]

STILL NO INTERNET :(((

I've not been reading too much. I have an interview tomorrow and they've asked me to create a portfolio of my work and brush on my non-existent adobe skills lol. All my time has been going there but it is scheduled in for tomorrow evening so should have some free time before I hear back to catch up with my BRs :)

[Maddie]

Oh dang you got this Dannii! That sounds stressful!

I'm still only 63% into Even the Darkest Stars, not sure when I'll finish that. I'm really into my games now, but I will be participating in the 24hr Magical Readathon this weekend. Should get a few finished up.

Lockdown has been extended another week, so that's good for my reading and gaming, but shitty for work. I really hate wfh with my new job because no proper training

[lj ♡]

I need to review a shortish YA book and am a teeny bit into Children of Blood and Bone. It's super intriguing and the worldbuilding is incredible!

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

I posted four reviews over the last five days. Still trying to get back to normal after being sick. I am still not feeling great but I have been listening to audiobooks. I am trying to catch up on buddy reads right now. I've started several so that means I'll probably be finishing a bunch of books all at the same time in the next week instead of having one finished every day or two.

That is crazy! My internet never goes out for more than a day. I would be going through withdrawal. =P I'm so addicted. I think that everyone is, really. Internet isn't something that most people can live without in this day and age.

[Maddie]

I'm finishing even the darkest stars now before diving into eotv. and I'm doing a 24hr readathon this weekend so will finish it then!

Who's hosting your readathon? I love participating in those. I haven't done any in a while.

[Maddie]

It's for the G's Magical Readathon over on booktube.

I finished Even the Darkest Stars, I said I was going to pick up EotV but I'm saving that to read it fully during my 24 hours! So I'm going to try and finish Kingdom of the Wicked before then (although I doubt it)

Sorry to hear you've been sick. I hope you're feeling better now.

Yeah it has really sucked! I work from home too so it has been so inconvenient and I'm almost out of data for the month on my phone. I'm in my boyfriend's now so will have net for the next few days.

[Maddie]

18% into Kingdom of the Wicked so that means I can actually read my Cursed when it arrives!

[[deleted user]]

hey guys. sorry I've been absent. I had things to take care of. didn't read though *sad* currently reading Dear Martin and just want to throw the book to the wall now. *mad*

[Vivi]

Hi guys. I've been away too. I've been busy with RL and work, but I'll be posting some reviews this weekend, hopefully.

[[deleted user]]

omg. I hated Dear Martin!!! 5/5 stars!!! it made me cry too much.

[[deleted user]]

I am still listening , I'm halfway through that, and will be picking up since I have been trying to get to it since last month, and it's almost due at the library.

I'd like to read this book with you, I read it a long time ago and bought it on audio and have been wanting to read the second one but need a refresher from the first one.

[Maddie]

@Cinthia: Have you got the BR thread for KotW?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Maddie]

Alriiight! Today's plan: Start and finish EotV and maybe Vow so Bold and Deadly as well! Got a 24hr readathon and EotV will take me 9 hours to listen to, but I'm also not going to stay up too late I don't think.

I'm about 160 pages in, don't know if that counts for a buddy read?

not sure... should we ask? or u ok not BRing it?

[Maddie]

That does count as a BR as long as you make the necessary 4 updates.

[Dannii]

Hope you're all having a great weekend :) I've hardly read all week but am in the reading mood so hopefully I can get through a few reads, over the next two days. I have a few reviews to write so I'll get them done and then work on finishing off some of my current reads - , , , , and

I'm willing to BR if you want to! :) Tell me when you're at 174 and then we could have a set # of pages per day? In the meantime I'll start something else :)

[[deleted user]]

we can start for tomorrow? I am almost done with the BR I had from yesterday.

[lj ♡]

Do you need time go get to p. 174? If not, I can do about 50 pages per day.

[Maddie]

Alright, I'm awake and it's time to get reading before the bf wakes up and starts playing games!

[[deleted user]]

@LJ. no. I should be good. I'm off work tomorrow so I should be able to focus on it.

[Maddie]

Planning on finishing KotW today, I've got 120 pages left! And get further into EotV, I'm 30% in

[[deleted user]]

@Maddie. I got 2 books to finish today then I'm picking up KotW at work lol. it's a physical book so that'll take me a couple of days.

[Maddie]

@Cinthia: No worries! It's really good!

I requested the BR to start tomorrow 9/19... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sorry I've been struggling to put up the big numbers this month! This have been crazy busy at work and I have some whacky migraines that are making it impossible to read most nights. Keep up the great reading everyone--the point is to enjoy it. ;)

[[deleted user]]

yes. it's OK I took a 10 day sabbatical too lol. it was good.

Sorry to hear you're struggling with migraines. I hope they ease for you soon! No need to apologise. As you said, as long as you are enjoying your reading it doesn't matter how much you read :)
