Unfortunately Hawthorne Legacy isn't as gripping to me as Inheritance Games was, so I'm taking longer with it than anticipated - which has also led to me not having starting my green cover book yet. I will get it read in time though so no worries :)
I could take "45 - shelved God's" and continue with the third Percy Jackson book. They are quick reads, so I might get one more book in, will see
I only just saw you put me down for task 44. So I will try to do both 44 and 45 as the books aren't too long and I have a little more time in February than I'll have in March and April

Lizzie, are you gonna continue with the third one next month?
Karate was just mentioned in my teal book, so swapping tasks :)
I’ll post an update on the task in a moment.

Christina wrote: "I finished The Hawthorne Legacy earlier today and honestly I was so annoyed by [spoilers removed]"I'm annoyed for so many reasons with that subplot and the plot twists at the end were confusing. I'm still on the fence if I'm going to continue. It's the last book, and it would be really good for Uno. But I have a feeling the book will be less about the riddles and mystery.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm halfway through my current book, so should finish it this week
Great, I finally started listening to Since You've Been Gone and I've already dozed off twice during the first hour... Today is clearly not a good day - my period pains are pretty much the worst they've ever been and the painkiller's only semi working. I just want to lie in bed and pity myself for the rest of the day but nope I gotta get ready for work now which will be super busy for the next ~8 hours :(
That’s the worst :( hope painkillers do kick in and help
Excellent.I can take NORTH in title.
