Guy Vestal  - Counter Culture Critic (DaddyRose) In this challenge, you will be reading books from a list put together by the people who signed up!

Here's How It Works:

1. When you sign up, pick out 3 books you want to be included on the list, or pool.

2. Any book works as long as it follows these simple guidelines:

-YA
-No Duplicates

3. At the beginning of April, you will start reading books from the Book Pool. Pick at least one, but there is no limit on the number of books you read.

4. The person who reads the most books in the Book Pool will be the champ for that month!

Okay! That's it , have fun!

Hey Jennifer since today is the 10th already would you want to wait for June and then I will join you? The books you picked are all books I'm dying to read too!


message 4: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ladygator71) Hey Megan, that would be great! I'll have to switch out An Ember in the Ashes because I'm already halfway done. I'll change it and then we will start in June.

Ok these are the 3 books I choose! I looked to see if you had read them since it's probably going to just be us. A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas Steelheart (Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis

Although it would be awesome if someone else wanted to join us!


message 8: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ladygator71) Those look great! So I thought we would add some thing different to take the place of an ember in the ashes... How about

Revival by Stephen King

Hey guys! How is the reading going? I am having a great reading month! I have read all of the first 6 books and am reading Taken now. Still about a week to get some reading done. :)

If either of you or anyone new is interested in participating for July let me know! I will join in again if anyone wants to.


message 15: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ladygator71) Hey guys, I've finished 4 of the books so far hoping to have some more reading time this last week. I'm in for July as well. I'll try to pick some books this coming week.


message 16: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ladygator71) I have read 5 so far this...3 more days, let's see what happens.

Brittany wrote: Thorns and Roses. Somehow the end of the month..."

You did join in after the month started so it's probably harder for you to catch up. I'm glad you'd like to join us for July! We have a thread open for July's book pool now so make sure you sign up there :)


message 18: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (ladygator71) I am trying to finish revival...struggling:( May have to come back to it at another time...I have so much to read in July. That would mean I officially finished 5 of the 9.

Jennifer- Great job! I struggled with Revival myself. A lot of it were interesting but it was soo slow. The best part of it comes at 90% through! It's worth reading but I was a little disappointed :( I noticed your name on a lot of challenges I had checked out! I'm sure you do have a packed tbr! :)
